Response to Lauryn Hill

I think that the Lauryn Hill blog was very interesting. Phil Boogie and Randy Bandit both had very good points. I’m really leaning towards Mr. Bandit when he says that Lauryn Hill’s songs are overly emotional. I have always felt that way about her music. Her songs always have good meaning but no matter what the subject, I guess it’s just her tone and voice, but it always made me feel sad. “Killing me softly” and “Nothing even matters” were two of the most touching Lauryn Hill. But I agree with Phil Boogie too because I think she deserves all the “props” that she gets for the Miseducation album because it was a cd that a lot of people could listen to fully. I think that Randy was expected too much from Lauryn with her album but she did need to be a little commercial, it is about making money.

Don’t worry Phil Boogie, I agree with you….Lil Momma can rap. I appreciate her for being herself. I definitely think that she is an original person. I think that she would dress “in rainbow” colors even without a stylist trying to create her look. But, I don’t think she is as serious an MC as Lauryn Hill or MC Lyte because her music is kind of corny. But Lil Mommas music is good for young listeners or people that want to hear rap music with not a lot of vulgar language.

I think it is hilarious when rappers try to sing the hooks on their own songs, especially Lil Wayne. He has got to know that he sounds crazy singing but people (including me) are going to continue listening to him, just because he is little Wayne. And T-Pain will never EVER stop using the auto-tone machine so I hope no one is waiting for that day.
