Kanye West - “All Falls Down (Original Mix)” (Demo, 2003)
I wonder if Lauryn Hill regrets not clearing this sample. Then I wonder if regret is an emotion that Lauryn Hill is capable of feeling.
I was thinking about writing about the difference between Lauryn Hill and Syleena Johnson! On the one hand, Hill’s singing is not as shiny-pop good, and the song’s album mix sort of calls for a glossy finish. And, I think Hill probably got some royalty money from the song anyway? But maybe she does regret it. If Lauryn Hill’s heart isn’t in rhyming, then who the kids gonna listen to?
