⁣Entertainers are not only slaves to labels and investors, but also to fans and critics. Lauryn Hill just wanted to be FREE! from all that. To me, she is the G.O.A.T female hip hop artist of all time off ONE ALBUM! Simply off creativity down to carefully selecting the environment to create. She made songs with a point and perspective, unlike the carefully targeted, pointless music female artist in hip hop make today. No you'll never see her remixing WAP, but in no circumstance can any female artist out today make a song like Doo Wop or Ex-Factor NO GHOST WRITERS. Had the music industry and personal struggles not get in the way, she could've been a top 5 great artist of any genre. Respect to the queen Ms. Lauryn Hill. Here's why her Growth was Stunted.
