And that is all her. Yes, she don't know any chords, it sounds like an open mic guitar, but she wrote something stunning and truthful, and niggas act like she only has one album.

Glasper has made a lot of beautiful music, and I keep his stuff in rotation, but he ain't ever gonna do MJ numbers like Lauryn did or make something this compelling and raw.

Lauryn is late. Lauryn steals music. Lauryn is an egomaniac. All true. But when the industry was putting her ass through the ringer, she had no one there to protect her, so the trauma we are seeing now is to be expected. Do like me- don't go see her. Play her music at home. And pray that she can heal.
