r/laurynhill

My thoughts:

Lauryn’s sound was bad - couldn’t hear her voice properly under the overly loud band, (which didnt need FOUR drum kits!). We just want a stripped back sound like Erykah had and hear the classics as we remember them.

Lateness - Running late on your own ‘curated’ event then actung surprised when curfew stops you at 11pm is ridiculous (I half expected it though 🙄) WTF were you doing?’

Ridiculous to keep crowds waiting nearly 2 HOURS between sets.

YG Marley, Zion - giving them 10 mins stage time cost hearing ‘Killing Me Softly’

Dave Chappelle barely ‘hosted’ - he phoned that in. Given we stood waiting 1.5-2 hours why didn’t we get like 15 mins of comedy?

Erykah Badu - stunning performance, takes her stage performance seriously. Lauryn could learn from her.

Giggs and Kano were excellent. Crew actually hurried Giggs to finish bang on time, only to start late 🙄

Shuttle bus/exiting the arena - so badly organised. Hundreds of people missed the train. Quicker to walk.

Overall - beautiful day but a missed opportunity for something really special. Won’t pay money to see Lauryn Hill again and I’ve been a fan for 30 years.

I saw Lauryn last month but didn’t want to wait in line for merch so I ordered it online. It finally came and there are no backs to the hoodie and tshirt that I spent $160 plus on. Just the front graphics. So disappointing to wait that long for some BS.
