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.

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?
― Jandek at the Disco (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 August 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
you meant "perp school," which trains you to be a felon like Ms. Hill.

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

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

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.

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.

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)

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.
― A deeper shade of lol (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 7 May 2013 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
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"

the stupidity starts with lauryn hill not having an accountant. working models with a part-time table waiting job often need an accountant.

― da croupier, Tuesday, 7 May 2013 15:47 (eleven years ago) link
if there's anything everyone should take away from this - it's a) always file, always report income. not reporting income is a felony. and b) if you aren't sure you're reporting income, hire an accountant.
