For a moment, L Boogie was back to her old self in NY this Saturday performing at the Rock the Bells tour.
Toward the end of her set — which included some Score songs and a few surprises, in addition to Miseducation tracks — Hill invited her children and some of the A-list attendees to the stage. During a reggae breakdown of "Fugee La," Hill brought out Mary J. Blige. Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz and Chris Rock soon followed.
"Where's Jay?" Hill said. "C'mon, man, this is New York." And so the Jiggaman came out and saluted the fans. Next was John Legend and Jerry Wonder.
"It was love back. Love back. Love back," Hill said later in her trailer about the parade of stars. Outside, Busta Rhymes — who was a guest performer of A Tribe Called Quest — came and said hello to her kids. "Reciprocity. It was wonderful to see everybody. I was so touched. I wanted everybody else to share in that moment. I wanted everybody else to see them."
That video is SHOT!!! Damn! But I guess whoever uploaded it had a great time so I ain't too mad at him/her. Glad to see all of the folks come out and show their support. Man for real, New York be standing UP!!! And damn, did ya'll see how the crowd threw up the Roc sign when Jigga walked out? Dayum! He got NYC on LOCK!!! LOL, let me stop frontin' cause when I saw him in concert here in Chocolate City, I threw up the Roc sign too! Did it when I saw Freeway in concert performing. It's the Roc baby!!!
Okay, back to the main reason for this post lol. Got a little caught up in the moment for a minute. Glad to know that Lauryn is back in the studio. Looking forward to hearing some great music from her soon. BUT! Who took that damn photo up top? They got her at a bad angle FO' REAL!! I read somewhere recently (probably on Twitter knowing me) that she didn't show up for the Rock the Bells Tour here. I didn't even know about the tour until I saw folks talking about it online (i.e., Twitter). I wonder who all was in the line-up??? Anybody know???
WELL ALRIGHT NOW! LET ME DUST OFF MY MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL! THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUM'S EVER! OF ALL TIME! WELCOME BACK TO THE GAME MS HILL! FINALLY!
