Fugees Reunion: Still “Dead”

7/18/07, 3:51 pm EST

fugeesFirst Lauryn Hill let down her fans — now she’s letting down her Fugees … again. “We went in the studio and recorded a couple records that were incredible. But, to put it nicely, it’s dead,” Pras says of the group’s struggling reunion in a new interview. In perhaps an attempt to shame Hill into getting back into the studio, he continues, “Me and ‘Clef, we on the same page, but Lauryn is in her zone, and I’m fed up with that shit. Here she is, blessed with a gift, with the opportunity to rock and give and she’s running on some bullshit? I’m a fan of Lauryn’s but I can’t respect that.” Interesting use of reverse psychology, sure. And groups that have bickered publicly sometimes do reunite.

She’s just killing ‘em softly with her song…(sorry folks I couln’t resist…Fuck it, who cares. No one will see it. Around here, people only read their own shit anyway.)

Lauren Hill is a total psycho.. too bad, my girlfriend really likes her first album (even if I don’t)

Why are we really concerned with the Fugees? They had some mild success a decade ago remaking other people’s music and primarily using samples. Sure there is some talent there, but can’t RS cover more interesting stuff?

What i read of Miss Hill is not the Miss Hill I know and read about in the Essence mag,when She was interviewed and exspressd the mature Miss Hill. Miss HIll has many gifts and is real talented,The one in a million real female artist that can pull off anything.A Physco! far from.Give Miss Hill a time to go within and think how she wants to go with this. Fugees is there for her and Pras cant go on as if he hasn’t HAD “I DUNNO” delays in reproduction. Fugees individual talent is horrid, so 2gther it’s tight every one has grown so y’all mayb need o just go with a desicion 4 they all will work.

You should listen to the record, it’s a little better than a bunch of remakes.

Lauryn Hill was successful because she was a talented singer, songwriter, poet and MC. She was nothing like the strippers in pop music today. I hope she gets her life together and comes back…she is such a great lyricist.

Yo, there’s a war in the mind, over territory
For the dominion
Who will dominate the opinion
Skisms and isms, keepin’ us in forms of religion
Conformin’ our vision
To the world churches decision
Trapped in a section
Submitted to commiting election
Moral infection
Epedemic lies and deception
Insurrection
Of the highest possible order
Destortin’ our tape recorders
From here and like under water
Beyond the borders
Fond of sin and disorder
Bound by the strategy
It’s systematic deprivaty
Heavy as gravity
Head first in the cavity
Without a bottom
A faith, worse than Saddam
Once got him
Drunk of the spirits

Hill is dope, her debut album was genius,the Fugees were dope too, but that was then and this is now. Personally I doubt if they will ever top what they did in the past!Everybody should just move on & stop living in the past, It’s just like MJ trying to top thriller that won’t happen, not in this lifetime-thats me being realistic!!!

3 egos that can’t all fit on one disc anymore… I’d rather have them broken-up than mediocre anyway…

‘She’s just killing ‘em softly with her song’

other people did. you know why? cause that’s fucking corny.

wouldn’t surprise me if clef and pras was on some sellout shit and lauryn didn’t want to do the ‘new sound’ but it wouldn’t surprise me if she was just unnecessarily stubborn either.

eve69 | 7/19/2007, 10:53 am EST

Fugees and Hill are both dope and so also last release some good stuff. Long live and welcome back to stay. Oh well, maybe next time.

If they get back together they will make for a fantastic Behind The Music. Wyclef is one of the most tallented producer/ writer out there. His song from South Park is better than any Fugees song.

I’d like to see him work with McCartney (no joke)

Miss Cassie: I honestly did not understand one word of what you said. You are crazy.
Marc Cutillo: You are a tough guy over the internet. Congratulations.

Juju Bees and Potpies | 7/19/2007, 5:35 pm EST

Thanks for noticing. Thank you not being asleep. Luv ya always and forever, Rockbutterfly

Markus | 7/19/2007, 9:44 pm EST

Hey, “doesn’t matter,”

What’s more retarded – trying to punk a guy over the internet, or trying to punk the guy who punked him?

(Of course, now I’m doing it, too, so I’m equally retarded.)

Jason | 7/20/2007, 12:57 am EST

Fugees reunion, no thanks. Lauryn will never top “I get out”, so why bother. Clef lost it after his 2nd, and Pras never had it son.

Marc Cutillo | 7/20/2007, 3:38 pm EST

Doesn’t Matter: Good job getting on me using the same logic i used to calling out a racist poster…no really, good job.

I suppose you suport racist peoples who write from behind a keyboard??

Marc Cutillo | 7/20/2007, 3:43 pm EST

Doesn’t Matter: Good job getting on me using the same logic i used to calling out a racist poster…no really, good job. You get an A in rhetoric.
