After hearing her MTV Unplugged performance, I decided Lauren was on a level most artists many in the music industry can never hope to reach. In fact, many listeners including 50 cent couldn't even understand the depth she was delivering and mistook it for insanity.

 I wonder what happened to Lauren Hill? The last time i saw her, she was performing in Brooklyn at Wingate Park back in 2007.

She was  two hours late, so we suffered through an amateurish performance by kiddy rapper Sean Kingston, sticky heat and government stooges delivering speeches about their gifts to the borough until she finally hit the stage.

When she emerged with a large red leather jacket singing songs no one had heard of everyone seemed confused. Some people stormed off after a few songs, yelling "I want a refund" (this was a free concert), and some stayed until the end. Of the around 12,000 people, my rough estimate would be about 5,000 people stayed long enough to hear elements of her old material mixed in with her new songs. The best of which being Zion where she seemed to calm down and show us a glimpse of her old self.



While I wasn't completely impressed by her last performance, I  am not  ready to write her off either. If there is any hope for the future of our the industry, lets pray she will rediscover herself so we can rediscover her music.
