Lauryn Hill interview in Belgium (2007) Part 1 of 2

Lauryn Hill giving an interview after her performance in Belgium - during her world tour in summer 2007.

[@doobej9558]

Her mind is so together. She gets her role in the world and refuses to allow anyone to pervert her purpose. Everybody's soul is not for sale.

[@Ready2ReadU]

Whether or not Miss Hill presents her gift to us in the way that made her famous, I am very grateful to her for sharing more than just her music. She has shared her soul so that others may learn, heal, love, forgive and worship God. Thank you, Sister.

[@The86Last]

I like how she thinks before she speaks , shes trying not to reveal to much about herself and i love that about her

[@chumanilakota]

She looked like a younger Oprah at first. Very pretty

[@seductruss]

thought that too

[@SuhKadikk]

Lauryn NEVER has to worry about whos young or whos been here or whatever. The people will ALWAYS love lauryn and will ALWAYS have a desire and need to to have her in our lives.

[@seasoned3.14]

Put your head up lauryn hill your bautiful and the most soulful singer and best rapper alive and who has ever lived. You are truly great.but still s I humble. Hotep.

[@1Carliii]

"There's a lot that could force individual to compromise and to me for me to make music it doesn't really make sense for me to make music if I can't make something that has a purpose." Lauryn Hill

[@sashaynam]

She is in this world, but not of this world. She is ahead of the times. We will never be ready for her. She is in the lifetime ahead of us, we are still struggling with the present, she has moved to the next.

[@kell8721]

That's Melanin for you!

[@alonso19689]

[@EMERALDPMD]

She has so much respect for music and power of music. I love it!!

[@dollgoodz3579]

[@allisoncooper82]

I love Lauryn she stayed strong despite it all

[@NomadicEmcee]

I love how she's taking the whole "crazy" thing and just running with it. Such a smart human being

[@centerfold8]

Yeah folk were talking trash about her makeup and hair but look at Katie Perry, Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu

[@gazpipe916]

Lauryn for President

[@swarthygurl29]

Love Her!! "...Wisdom is better than silver and gold..." Praise Yah!!

[@brightgsoncuya]

she is such an inspiration. makes me cry. We love you miss Hill!

[@lovelaced928]

What do u c in hip hop music 2day, Lauryn? Well..."Trace the 'black' music back, and you'll see the pattern"..Deep unplugged and AWAKE;-)..I Love you Lauryn Hill!& May God Bless your Spirit&Soul!...Miss Aheaducated!

[@ThePianoguy89]

I love how deep she is! She is so soulful, truthful, articulate, beautiful, and talented. She's a wonderful soul. I love her music and I wish she can come back and make more wonderful music.

[@FCP32]

I love youtube because it allows a person to veiws things that they want to see. A lot of these artist are getting pimped and played. She stayed true to herself and her beliefs. She did not have to show her butt or chest to be successful. She showed us her mind, her creativity. Thank you, Mrs. Hill!

[@KillaHarmonyKayy]

Lauryn Hill fight those fiends don't let them conquer your happiness and your freedom. I know the devil is working really hard but God is greater, wiser, and stronger. Miss. Hill please don't loose faith. #Killuminati #StayPrayedUp #StandUp #WakeUp

[@kvocalist]

lauryn is a gem! nobody touches her to me. we need she badly now

[@mollyy2y]

Lauryn, I love your voice/music so much! That even if it took you 10 more years to make another Hit album. I'll wait to buy your Album. Love that you stay true to yourself on the roller coaster call "LIFE".

[@chibaby0306]

[@davidfranky1986]

[@shitcreekpolka]

She is so articulate.

[@28ticia]

[@2011nafissa]

much respect lauryn!!!!!

[@CrownMeQueen100]

I am so impressed, thank you God.

[@HUSTL3BUNNI]

I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE'S SO INTELLIGENT AND WELL SPOKEN

[@MJbeliever100]

She's so beautiful!!

[@AKMproductions13]

I see absolutely nothing crazy about this interview , Lauryn Hill is a musical genius and people need to understand that.

[@paolaglenn5776]

"[Making music] is so much deeper than doing it for profit."

[@jojar6707]

Her song "I get out" it's rather powerful.

[@dadaddymak]

Im just now starting to understand how powerful music can be. It can be used for good or evil. And right now evil is winning..

[@JamilWarren]

I adore and love her :-)

[@MRBiGHaRLaN]

I love you Lauryne!

[@HauteAntoinette]

i LOVE HER

[@searching4quiet]

Lauryn Hill is organic in her emotions, poised in her speech, and innovative in how she approaches creating music. I don't know why we as a society are fearful of what we don't understand. We hurl insults to hide our own insecurities. To think, people actually think she suffers mentally. Ok, uh, right.

[@shakiebaker]

I love you Mrs. Hill!!!!!!!!!!

[@smj032209]

Im loving the comment from 2 conscious...exactly what I was thinking....

[@CooKieMonStar07]

I know this is off subject, but I keep wanting to clear my throat listening to her... I STILL LOVE YOU GIRL!! WOOOOOOOO!!

[@Romeobeyk]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MS.LAURYN HILL PLEASE COME BACK

[@Capilli11]

shes beautiful with locs i miss them

[@ThePeterok21]

She's choosing her words carefully ..

[@Jazzedboltz]

i think people judge too much. if people would just look beyong the hair and the make-up and actually listened to what she has to say, they'd know that she ISN'T crazy, far from it, and that she is still Lauryn. i mean, did ANYONE pay attention to 'Unplugged'?! she's DEEP, and she's better than ALL dem who think she's crazy. RESPECT.

[@adagiobreeze8493]

I love her talking voice as much as I love her singing voice

[@ThePeterok21]

All hail the QUEEN..

[@terranceof2007]

i love this interview lauren hill is not crazy shes just real and hat she said about music being the vioce of the cooperate today is so true and the perfect example is Miss.Nikki Minaj but i respect her lauren needs another album to show them ............... i just cant wait till she drops a album its finna go triple platinum...........

[@0119alt]

brilliant...

[@xenakaii]

@sashaynam I quite agree and the fact that we do not realise this shows just how lost we truly are!

[@weirdblackgirl4827]

I love Lauryn and this interview is good but I'm more surprised that the interviewer was Ya Kid K's sister. Ya Kid K was a black teenage rap/singing phenom way before that was the norm, even b4 Lauryn actually. 'Pump of the Jump Up the Jam' was playing everywhere along with Salt N Pepa's Push It.

[@maryseo.]

Pump up the jam was the shit 💃🏾

[@happyhappychannel3297]

she freaking does

[@moreofwindhoek]

What she is really saying is that they were trying to control her music and practically her life.

[@caleb51402]

I heard that it has been said that when the interviewers aren't supposed to look her in the eyes and I see she never once made eye contact with the lady. Weird...but I'm glad she's coming back...it was long overdue!

[@julbrown31]

Lauryn is the greatest of all time. She is brilliant & so inspiring! She is all about music with a PURPOSE. it's a travesty that nicki is compared to her. As Lauryn puts it- hip hop is becoming EXPLOITED!

[@lilibeyene1237]

genius!

[@zettebda]

I Love Lauryn she is so intelligent and God inspired. I'm glad she got out to save her soul. Peace and Good Love Lauryn and Ahayah Bless.

[@ldub4ever]

lauryn hill is the truth. i respect her staying true to herself and only doing music if it has a purpose. people cannot handle someone who is aware of the evil involoved in the industry and someone who chooses to turn away from that and walk their own path

[@lolastclaire3062]

Reminds me of Lynn Whitefield playing Josephine Baker golden years

[@mzbabygirl32]

I thought I was the only one who thought and saw that!!!! LOL

[@MistaChubbz.]

Lauryn Hill is the Truth!

[@JackDaScarecrow]

Lauryn Hill: dropping knowledge for like 8 minutes straight..... Reporter: So what about some new music??? My Reaction: Facepalm....

[@PineapplesCoconut]

got damnit i miss the hell outta her

[@BLISB]

Such a natural beauty without all that makeup-showbusiness is tough on pure sensitive artits like her.

[@blessmimi]

@ aadam ali Lauryn Hill did not sell her soul. The Success of Misdeducation was going to be a trapt for her to sell her soul, But she refused she walked away from everything which in many cases others will sell their soul because of enjoyment of fame and money but not Ms. Hill. "All I wanted was to sell $500k"-Lauryn Hill That mean she was never after fame and money

[@kell8721]

A Rose Still A Rose 💯 well said!!!

[@jeezygurloneluv]

yo she speakin that realness man i feel what shes sayin

[@BoudoirBoutiqueNC]

please send me the link

[@Ziahkazuri09]

love the interview she kinda looks like Oprah in this video wow almost made me stand back.. Ms Hill you are just awesome.

[@jdluv79]

They do favor in this clip

[@segapink]

@ntaylor253 She is a singer. Her name is Leki. Her sister Ya Kid K was in the group Technotronic.

[@FaithfulTrueDreams]

@Happ242 IKR!

[@b3autiful11]

@elationgirl ME too it's shockingly true!

[@DarkwaveDuck]

i see it!

[@CopyrightInfrigiment]

THEY TOLD HER TO ACT CRAZY! HEY IT KEPT HER ALIVE THIS FAR!

[@QuadrantBottomHalf]

What is the nsme of the host?

[@iluvmyboba]

Lauryn was so brutally honest in this interview. And the interviewer was very professional. Great interview.

[@ShadJones__]

I will forever stay independent. Major labels eff u up mentally, physically, and emotionally. I pray Lauryn Hill got her freedom back

[@GILady86]

She looks like a doll.

[@jumpingonglass]

bob marley will love her

[@ChaChaWitYa]

@chanecanjai left eye is is actually tupacs counterpart there is a video on it. They also dated eachother

[@melliemel32]

LOL I just read this comment - that's EXACTLY what I was thinking person below me. She looks like Oprah Winfrey here. HILARIOUS! God bless and help her. Love her gift, praying for her mind.

[@suomynona9229]

Thats what happens when your branded as crazy even though you are not :(

[@ntaylor253]

Who is this interviewing her?

[@indolentlee]

damn man they got her just like they got Gill Scott Heron

[@saamohod]

How did she manage to achieve success in music with such a voice?

[@thirdeye147]

As of seventh of may 2013. (today) Lauryn Hill has been arrested for tax evasion in the US. Regarding earnings from 2007 apparently. She admits she has been skint, however this is the "Agency" all over, they could have questioned Lauryn about this years ago but she wasnt trying to come back years ago...Bless you Lauryn. Think about her and keep her close to your hart keep interested in her now. She may be in real danger

[@centerfold8]

Yeah it doesn’t make her a bad person

[@jumpingonglass]

she deep as hell thats all I know....fuck how she look she can change that easily. thats nothing. her soul is alive and well

[@Shview1]

BTW she was to play Oprah's daughter in Beloved. Yes she indeed resemble Oprah

[@Lolaorchid]

What people don't understand they tend to fear, and in a society like this where people are so spiritually blinded I'm not surprised that they think she is crazy, despite all of that, thank God she is strong enough to not the controlled by this evil and corrupt industry, good for Lauryn coz all I see on my tv screen is sex sex sex and more sex corrupting children and young peoples minds . I hope she does another album like her MTV unplugged, food for the spirit, soul and mind.

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

@MultiOdom I assume you mean 'taking out' by spitting inspirational messages, not hateful/cocky braggadocio anymore. If she does... I'll be right there to listen to her.

[@chocolatethundercherry143]

***I hate her style here ; but she's so well spoken when she releases some new music I'm going to be prepared to listen to it !!!!***

[@danieal452]

the beast femail artist of this era, I love you...but Lauryn ,please don't let make up artists messed up with your natural beauty.

[@Misana]

She totally did!!!!! lol

[@adnoun1]

what's going at 1 15

[@londongyal7tiyarna879]

she looks like Oprah

[@nondumisomadondo4627]

lol indeed she does

[@PhantomLyric]

Yeah i thought or sure the title was wrong. What's sad is, she can barely look anyone in the eyes anymore. If you look at her earlier interviews she is very present with the interviewer, but durin this period in er life she has her head down and away a lot. I don't like rumors but I assume abuse.

[@Ghe608]

Anon Ymous this period of her life . . . people grow . . its the journey

[@cicidessy248]

lol that's what I said waiting for her to scream "Harpooo!!"

[@sinnyozzy]

Dont insult the women, Oprah sold her sold to the devil.

[@ezridax]

i feel so bad for lauryn. she looks so unhappy and isnt even looking at the woman that's interviewing her, God bless you lauryn

[@m1take]

?? she looked at here at least 10 times just in the first few minutes so i do not get what your saying ...

[@kell8721]

But her soul still shines through it all

[@princessChaleeda]

***another thing*** we are talking about peace-- and we are simultaniously argueing below. make up your mind. you can not be fore peace & war.

[@TheDelightfulKW]

LAURYN PLEEEEASE RETURN. We need you to school Nicki Menaj.

[@BassMonsterTiff]

man lauryn said ALL that deep stuff and then the interviewer was like "cool... soooo... about that album though" and lauryn couldn't do anything but laugh smh.
