WYCLEF: “Lauryn Is Straight Up The Problem”

 

In honor of the new issue of Scratch now being on stands (Pick it up, pick it up!), we thought we would let everyone in on a funny tidbit from the Wyclef interview. When our technology editor Paul Cantor interviewed ’Clef, he gave some interesting insight into why the Fugees reunion is now on hold. Namely, Lauryn wanted to act like a producer. Read for yourself:

 

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, f*** it, we’ll give you a month—do a beat. She can’t put it together!

 

 

 

This is very sad :(

So what actually IS the reason? :mellow:

 

She does seem a little cookoo :w00t: from interviews and stuff i've seen of her but you can't knock talent and she has one of the best soul voices of my generation anyway, completely faultless. The Miseducation Of... ain't bad either. ^_^

So what actually IS the reason? :mellow:

Well I obviously can't prove this but reports come from everywhere that she spends her days smokin' crack and is a completely ratty b!tch. Basically, she's a power hungry racist girl who can't even work properly anymore.

Whatever would Joss think of such a statement? :(

:lol: She'd be mortified, im sure!

Anyone heard Wyclef's new song, Sweetest Girl? It's really hot!
