Wyclef talks about Lauryn Hill's true nature and more info about the the never ending Fugees reunion DRAMA! Scratch: What’s going on with the Fugees reunion, or lack there of?
WYCLEF: I’m officially Paul McCartney from the Beatles now. If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back…you can’t break the format. Don’t come back and be like, “I wanna produce a beat.” That’s like me saying I wanna sing an R&B vocal. When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], “You need to do this like this.” [And] she says, “How do you know what’s relevant? I haven’t heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?” The minute she said that I was like, I gotta go back to working. So what’s ultimately holding you guys back? Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro. She wants to be a producer. Don’t come telling us how to chop up beats so you can get credit for it. What makes you think she would take the credit? We did a remix [with] Lauryn for John Legend, for the record “How High.” John Legend was saying our names. You know what she had [him] do? She was like, “Take off Wyclef and Jerry’s names.” Because she wanted people to think that she was the one doing the beat…I’m a producer and I’m a beatmaker with my cousin Jerry Wonder, and I’m a writer. She’s a writer, a vocalist, [and] a great [vocal] composer. And she’s great at picking out samples—she got 20 billion samples but can’t chop ’em up to save her life. So she hasn’t made any of the beats she got credit for? It’s real simple—if you did the beats, where are the beats? Show us one beat that you did. If you bring ’Clef to the studio, put an MP, put an SP, put a bunch of stuff, bring a bunch of cameras [and] say, “Clef, do a beat in two minutes.” The beat’s done! Bring Lauryn Hill in the studio with the same camera, say we give you three hours. Matter fact, fuck it, we’ll give you a month—do a beat. She can’t put it together!

They are done, let them go already. There are always going to be issues between them especially clef and lauryn and its not going to work out, so call it a day. As i said before Lauryn is great, but she is being branded a legend for things she hasnt done instead of a legned for what she has done, Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain would fit in this category too, especially AXL, Lauryn and Axl should form their own group together and call it "Never Release".

My manager is also Pras' manager, so as such was heavily involved in trying to make this Fugees reunion shit work. Right at the beginning when they first discussed doing the Block Party thing, and before they recorded "Take It Easy", his words were something to the effect of "This is liable to fall apart at any moment". |

You're entirely off the mark with that one, homie. Kurt Cobain, although his legacy annoys me sometimes, I do realize that he's got three albums that helped usher in a new era of pop music back in the '90s. | |

i think nirvana were ok but he aint no damn genuis. axl was way more talented than him. yes, i said it!! | |

It doesn't matter if you like him or not (I don't) and I don't think he was a genius or fantastic songwriter by any stretch of the imagination. But you cannot deny his influence. Arguably, he means more to musicians than Axl Rose. | |
