Lauryn Hill

she is obviously crazy but it's hard to generate much sympathy for her since the particular form in which that craziness expresses itself is megalomania.

Wonder if she's a Rangers fan

lol

Looks like she's facing jail.

Career jail.

I should distinguish, Badu is "crazy," but not crazy. She's eccentric, erratic, quirky, unpredictable, and a little conspiracy prone, but not crazy. Lauryn Hill, on the other hand, by all indications there could be something really wrong with her.

Also

here's to another seven years of calling black women crazy!

LOL. yeah, Badu and Hill ... that pretty much covers it! Let me know when you find another one.

no uh... actual jail

she'll be straight, the IRS is usually pretty understanding if you say "I had my reasons"

Tell that to Wesley Snipes!

Quite a mugshot.

good look!

wow so "crazy"

she looks like a mean school guidance counselor who would criticize me for having bad handwriting

Yeah, I feel very judged by her.

and here i was, hoping i could judge her!

capn save-a-hill

I MEAAAAN SHE LOOKS LIKE A CRAZY MEAN BITCH

partly cloudy, 30% chance of clusterfuck

T/S: making fun of celebrities vs. feeling protective of celebrities

vs. saying a well-dressed woman in her mugshot is a superego extension of your prep school experience

isn't everything?

no

note to borads:

your posts are incoherent no matter the length.

fuck off, matt. there's no need for this kind of garbage.

goddam asswart of a human being

Weird how her mugshot is the most "together" she's looked in years.

lol "prep school" -- you're way off the mark pal but OOH BURN

what is a "prep school" anyway? just a private school? or do you have to live there for it to be a prep school? like brenden frasier in school ties?

you meant "perp school," which trains you to be a felon like Ms. Hill.

you are about to witness the strength of street knowledge

Production is a nightmare, was feeling the rhymes even if they're hella paranoid

something tells me hip-hop is about to get its chinese democracy

Sounds like it should be on the new Killah Priest album.

The "I'm not crazy, society is crazy" hermitude posture is compelling, although in her case it's probably a little of both.

^^^ truth.

This song was awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhega1bctNk

on the evidence of these lyrics i don't think lauryn is crazy, i think she's quite sharp, but either she's lost interest in or has just lost the art of presentation

Sounds like it should be on the new Killah Priest album.

lol

I think the new song is legitimately exciting and badass. Glad it's not just a Miseducation re-hash. Makes me actually anticipate future work from her.

goin to jail

never a fan of the Fugees and only marginally interested in her and yes I know she's said a lot of weird shit in public but any time people complain about her being lazy or undisciplined or whatever I just think that I don't know ANY women from my generation raising 5 children, that shit is no joke.

otm

the second part

for real. One is hard as fuck, and my friends are always like "ONE?! Holy shit you should try TWO!!!"

most female celebrities of her stature have one or two (and then hire a staff to raise them) - giving her the benefit of the doubt that she's tried to be more hands-on and putting their needs first like she says, five is a huuuuge amount of work and putting that on top of all her other baggage (being an aging black woman with a huge rep to live up to etc) its no wonder she might come off a bit unhinged

altho tbf when it comes to the taxes thing, eh I got nothing. hire an accountant already.

During a forceful statement to the judge, Hill explained she had always meant to eventually pay the taxes but was unable to during a period of time when she dropped out of the music business.

oh for fuck's sake

The thing about this that is super stupid is that if you contact the IRS and ask for help in figuring out how to pay a tax bill, they will totally work with you to figure out some payment schedule that is reasonable. Her bill was pretty fucking huge but that's money that the IRS wants and they will figure out how to work with you to get it.

I mean, pro-tip #1 for cheap Ivy ppl is "don't treat your taxes like your student loans; that shit won't get swept under the rug after 7 years" (hell at this point I don't even know if ppl are still doing that with student loans)

you don't get returns if you don't file taxes one calendar year, right?

I don't see how you could, it's not like they are magic

in the early 2000's I owed money cuz I didn't file the right form to take care of my freelance dough, and, yes, the IRS were quite friendly and helped set up a reasonable monthly payment plan.

It just cracks me up because I had been hearing all of this "THE IRS IS EVIL" rhetoric for years and years and years and then after a big jump in income I had a tax bill that I couldn't just write a check for at the time of filing, but I knew I'd be able to pay within the next 3 months, so I called their hotline and they were like "oh hey no biggie, here let us help you" and I sat there thinking to myself "have any of these IRS haters ever actually bothered to talk to them, or did they just try to duck out on their taxes due to Principles and then decided to get huffy when the government reminded them of one of the costs of citizenship"
