Lauren Hill Wants Your $$$$$$

Talk about pop stars ripping off the fans - go to Lauren Hills website & you can buy a poster of her for $50.00!!! And if you have money to burn - you can get an autographed poster for $500.00!!!
Talk about raping the fans!!

She's nuts. I have an autographed book written by David Bowie that's over 400 pages (mostly photography and memorabilia, but still gorgeous and w/ great exclusive essays by Bowie on his early career), with super-deluxe binding and printing, and it was well under $500.

And even though we complain when Prince does this kind of thing, he at least has the history and legacy to pull off this kind of audacity. Doesn't make it "right", but there's at least some kind of basis for it that is somewhat attached to reality.

Someone needs a moment of clarity.

Maybe because it's so rare, she's charging so much. Who knows

I saw that too. I saw it on Amazon and was wonder what the hell "GOAT" was and why they were charging that much for it.

GOAT stands for Greatest Of All Time, something that Lauren Hill is nowhere near. Nobody's autograph is really worth anything. That whole thing is funny. lol

The difference between Ali and Lauryn Hill is that Ali is THE G.O.A.T, whereas Lauryn's just a goat - and a nutso one too.
