Her daughter was on IG Live talking about how Lauryn would beat her and take out her frustrations with her father on her.

Im not condoning this behavior but I was also spanked w a belt when I was brought up. It’s a generational thing. I would never to my own children.

Girl please. My mother as a widow had to raise 4 sons on her own and she did what she needed to do in those days! Lauryn had to beat her for a reason. Kids are annoying af.

Yeah, idk. As a Black male who grew up in the 80s, I just feel like she is describing my childhood PRECISELY, but through a modern, White, Dr.Spock lens. Of course, now we are taught that corporal punishment is child abuse, but I was never hit without reason and, like Selah, I am not telling people I got punched in the face or hit with bricks and what not. I didn't feel I was abused then and I don't feel I was now. Any other news to report on Ms. Hill?

It’s a generational thing. I would never to my own children. I see this a few ways...we cannot tell people how to feel or how they should deal with their own trauma. Yes, being beat with a belt is generational and most of us experienced it. Many times it's not justified and sometimes boundaries are pushed/crossed. There's a fine line between abuse, consequences and punishment. Selah is brave to me for sharing her experience. Those beatings however, probably weren't the bigger issue...Lauryn was mentally and emotionally exhausted from the industry and her relationship. This ultimately affected the children, without question. I wouldn't beat my own children. I also wouldn't feel comfortable raising children with an in and out father. Dealing with mental illness and raising children isn't easy. People's response to this is so weird. Folks are attacking Selah and/or Lauryn, which serves no purpose. They need to heal and support as a family unit, not be dismissed or villainized.

Here's Why Lauryn Hill Never Made Another Album After 'Miseducation' By Rania Aniftos 1/5/2021 Click to copy www.billboard.com/articles/news/9507255/lauryn-hill-talks-miseducation/It's been almost 23 years since Lauryn Hill released her beloved, Grammy-winning The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album, which features classics like “Ex-Factor,” “Doo Wop (That Thing),” and her breezy take on Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." However, besides a live 2002 MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 project, the icon never released another studio album, much to the dismay of fans. In a new email interview for Rolling Stone's “500 Greatest Albums” podcast on Amazon Music, the star revealed why. “The wild thing is no one from my label has ever called me and asked how can we help you make another album, EVER…EVER. Did I say ever? Ever!” she explained. “With the Miseducation, there was no precedent. I was, for the most part, free to explore, experiment and express,” she continued. “After the Miseducation, there were scores of tentacled obstructionists, politics, repressing agendas, unrealistic expectations, and saboteurs EVERYWHERE. People had included me in their own narratives of THEIR successes as it pertained to my album, and if this contradicted my experience, I was considered an enemy.” On the album's legacy, Hill shared that she's “always been pretty critical of myself artistically, so of course there are things I hear that could have been done differently but the LOVE in the album, the passion, it’s intention is to me, undeniable." "I think my intention was simply to make something that made my foremothers and forefathers in music and social and political struggle know that someone received what they’d sacrificed to give us, and to let my peers know that we could walk in that truth, proudly and confidently," she added. “At that time, I felt like it was a duty or responsibility to do so. … I challenged the norm and introduced a new standard. I believe the Miseducation did that and I believe I still do this–defy convention when the convention is questionable.” Miseducation hit No. 10 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums" list.

The best album EVER released PERIOD since the 90s. I bought the vinyl a few years ago for $40 and it was worth every penny.

I forgot "Can't Take My Eyes" charted. Was that off unsolicited airplay, or was it promoted in some way?
