Rayn: Cool video. 🙂
Rebekah P.: I love this whole LP, this track is beautiful! Even the elders can appreciate Elder Blossoms, this is Hip-Hop baby! I recommend mass-consumption of mass-produced mess for the masses while watching this vid 🙂
The following correspondence originally took place here, on the Facebook wall of Ms. Lauryn Hill…
“Taxation is theft”
Marybett M.: So you’re PROUD to say you didn’t pay taxes cuz your ancestors were slaves. Hmmmm my ancestors died trying to free yours but I sure don’t hear “thank you”. More over if you did any kind of real research you would realize iSLAM is the “original slave trader.”
Yet today both our ancestors are dead. I DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DRIVE OVER BRIDGES, FUND YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT……
I don’t sit down on a pity pot and WHINE!

Rayn: You are simply regurgitating DISINFORMATION that is being circulated by the mainstream media monopoly for the purposes of discrediting Ms. Hill, and emotionally riling up those who aren’t interested in doing their own research about the situation! Lauryn Hill stated EXACTLY why she withheld paying taxes on her very own Tumblr page, if you are really interested:

Marybett M.: Regurgitating disinformation. Yes I do understand that cycle. You give mainstream a topic especially on someone who they don’t like their views on and it will be recycled refurgitation.
However I did come across this quote. “She explained that she hasn’t paid taxes since she withdrew from society to guarantee the safety and well-being of herself and her family.”
If it’s true, I can appreciate the intent to withdraw from society because of it’s moral corruption, I GET THAT AND SO DO MANY OTHERS. However, it still stands that we have to “render to ceasar…”
Personally, if she’s that principled and has the courage to withstand what lamestream may say, she could certainly earn doing tours. There are many that support that same view especially if there’s any “spirituality” in that as well.
It’s hard to stand up to the system but you still have to do the next right thing.

“Stop organized crime… Abolish the IRS!”
Sara: Lauryn Hill Sentenced to Three Months in Tax Case:
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/06/lauryn-hill-sentenced-to-3-months-in-tax-case/
Jesus Christ, good thing we got this dangerous “criminal” off the street. SMH. Lauryn Hill paid $970k in back taxes towards her $1 million debt and still got sentenced to 3 months in jail and 3 months home confinement afterwards. I feel sorry for her 5 children who have to be without a mother for 3 months when in actuality, the real thieves are the IRS who have been robbing us for years.

“Neurotic Society (Compulsory Mix)”
Yesterday, Lauryn Hill released a new song, entitled, “Neurotic Society”!
You can purchase a digital copy of the track from iTunes, here:

Ms. Hill also made a statement about the details of her single’s release on her Tumblr account:

Here is my effort to decipher the lyrics:
(update: on May 13, Ms. Hill was kind of enough to release the actual lyrics to this song, here! I’ve now added a strike-through to each part that I got wrong)
Verse 1:
We’re living in a joke time
Metaphorical coke time
Commerce and guru men
Run the whole world men

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Truth Be Known,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
“It is not the job of thinking people to be on the side of the executioners.” – Albert Camus
My Commentary: Never forget the Kent State massacre! During this year’s anniversary of the American government’s murderous crimes against innocent student anti-war protesters, which is today, take a moment to reflect on this egregious violation of human rights committed by a system that has historically purported to legally protect them. We must learn to reject ALL forms of democide – no matter who the perpetrator is – and to discard the blinder-based faith required to adhere to the religion of Statism!
