Happy birthday, Lauryn Hill! Look back at our 1998 Q&A with the former Fugees singer here
LAURYN HILL NEVER DID MAKE IT back to Columbia University; her formal education was put on hold when she and her Fugees band mates cut, changed the summer of ’96 and sold 17 million records worldwide. After the band won two Grammys, Hill embarked on an ambitious course of independent study, giving birth to Bob Marley’s grandson , writing a song for Aretha Franklin and taking a break from Fugee mates Wyclef Jean and Pras.
We have real relationships, and when you have that you’re going to have issues. You have to remember, I’ve been with these guys every day for six or seven years.It’s amazing to have Aretha singing words that you wrote. You wanna hear something funny? When I recorded with her in Detroit, I went into the vocal booth after she came out, and it smelled like church, like paper fans with wooden sticks. I’m not kidding. Like it came out of her pores.Having a child puts everything back in perspective.
