... lose an election than a war," he says, which kind of hits the nail on the head; with apologies to Lauryn Hill, we might win some but we really lost one, and maybe Creighton Abrams was the right guy at the wrong time and maybe that's just how it rolls. SinisterRouge is doing penance, Jim McGreevey's entry into seminary, "sweetiegate", and the Anna Nicole autopsy report-inspired cocktail...

From Mickey's email: “Aint nothing else I can say from here…” So this week I decided to smooth things out a bit and talk about an old relationship I was in. I loved the girl and I was still feeling a certain way about her so I felt like I needed to write about it. I heard this track from Ms. Hill and decided to build on it. Every word in the song is true. We’re still friends to this day. So...

... Senegalese and West Indian roots, whose singing and rapping skills have brought comparisons to Lauryn Hill.

Like Winehouse and MySpace sensations Lily Allen and Kate Nash, Adele is a graduate of the London...

You may remember the song "The Sweetest Thing" as just one of the many gems from the 1997 Love Jones motion picture soundtrack. I remember this song as the first time I actually thought Lauryn Hill was sexy. I mean,...

" I wrote these words for everyone Who struggles in their youth Who won't accept deception Instead of what is truth " Lauryn Hill - "Everything is Everything". This is one of my favourite songs. And a beautiful voice. There is another beautiful voice, Barack Obama's, that I hope the people of America are listening to. To see and hear Lauryn Hill...

Words By Darius Sinclair™ Some folks say Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker and Whitney Houston are the queens of soul. Nina Simone is as impassioned as all those names but perhaps her legacy is often forgotten. You can list Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, and Lauryn Hill to the list of those she’s inspired, whether her influence [...]

Ever since Estelle signed to John Legend's Homeschool Records, she's been constantly compared to the likes of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu. The comparisons basically stop at being a talented soulful songstress. On her U.S. debut, Shine, Estelle proves that...

" I'm back bitches... " MC Lyte, Lauryn Hill and Bahamadia are a few of my favorite femcees. But when it comes to the real bad-ass rhymeslingers, you can't hold a candle to Fox Boogie (take that Kim, Remy, Eve, Missy & Rah ... sorry). Fresh out of her bid and other legal woes, Foxy is back with her first album since 2001. Brooklyn's Don Diva finds Foxy recollecting her trials and tribulations...

... “Back In Love” is just so rich to me love muffins! I received the same feeling when I listened to Lauryn Hill's “Ex-Factor” and Floetry's “Say Yes”. Yes, all three songs are different, but I can't deny the feelings that I have for all three songs. I love them!

... first single "Need You Bad," which showcases her powerful, pleading vocals. She sounds like Lauryn Hill and Aretha Franklin 's love child here. Missy puts her stamp on the song, but her presence isn't too intrusive. I don't know if Jazmine is West Indian or not, but I got to give her props for coming correct with this dash of island spice, even down to the on-point accent during the...
