Rap-Up.com || Bring Back Lauryn Hill for Haiti Benefit

Lauryn Hill has remained out of the spotlight for what seems like forever, but after watching this performance, we thought the “Hope for Haiti Now” benefit would be the perfect opportunity for the Grammy winner to get involved.

Wyclef Jean has put together a star-studded lineup for Friday’s telethon, but how incredible would it be to see his fellow Fugees member perform her version of Bob Marley and the Wailers’ “Redemption Song”? And not to mention, it would be for a great cause.

What do you think? If you agree, tweet this link with #hillforhaiti.

@Urban Noize, “never missed a step”? what is that supposed to mean? that video is over three years old. it’s not as if this is a bathroom performance she just put up for fun and yet oh wow it’s amazing. This was way back when as it were.

the atmosphere is right for Lauryn Hill to reclaim her throne.

The truth is Lauryn is not well. And yes, its a shame. You can’t ask her to help others if she hasn’t fully helped herself. Rihanna’ version of Bob Marley’ ‘Redemption song’ was disgraceful. She sang it like it was a sex tinged pop ballad. That’s a roots reggae nyabingi song. Why the hell did I think maybe Rihanna could pull it off? How wrong I was. Anyway, Lauryn, music needs you, Haiti needs you but first and foremost your family needs you. Do what’s right!!!!!

I just saw Mz Lauryn Hill live 2 days ago at Raggamuffin and I gotta say that she outpeformed everyone!! She sang some fugees hits and some of her own!! Ive been to many concerts including Ice cube and DMX but Lauryn is by far the better rapper!!

She need to hook it up with some producers and drop an album because shes still got it and then some!! Search “LAURYN HILL 2010 RAGGAMUFFIN” on youtube!!

Peace!!

Their is NOT a artist who can take her spot. She is the best that ever did it. Her voice moved me and her delivery was crazy. The music game is lacking one thing….. LAURYN HILL Peace and Love
