Wyclef Jean Disses Lauryn Hill

Artist:
Wyclef Jean is dogging Lauryn Hill out claiming she deserves little or no production credits for her work. In an interview with Scratch magazine Wyclef referred to himself as the 'Paul McCartney' of the Fugees saying, "If the Fugees wanna come back, and Lauryn wanna come back…you can’t break the format."He referred to Lauryn Hill's diva-like demands to produce as a key problem in the band resurfacing. "Don’t come back and be like, 'I wanna produce a beat,'†Wyclef told the magazine. "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. 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."Wyclef got nastier even describing an incident where Hill wanted to sneak all the production credit for a John Legend How High track. "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."Hill has been turning a sour note with everyone, including fans. At her recent UK shows the once vocally-untouchable Grammy- winning singer began her sets hours late.
