People in here disrespecting Lauryn and saying she fraudulent yet The Booth was full of praise for J. Lo and defended her icon status amidst
1) Clearly hearing Ashanti in the background of some of her hits
2) Her saying her music wasn't of Black origin
So when ya'll go on these rants about vultures and then on the same board attempt to discredit a Black woman who contributed this album (and even the co-writers and co-producers state that the album is her brain child), you give credence to the very pandemic that plagues the music industry.
NONE of them put on the back of their albums that they wrote and produced the entire project
NONE of them got sued by multiple writers and producers.
The fact that she never made another solo album speaks the level of her creative ability. Can she rap? Yes. Can she sing? Yes. Can she write and produce and entire album by herself?
Lauryn is credited as a primary writer and producer. Even on the back of the album, there are credits for lyrical contributions, additional production, and co-production. She never claimed the wrote and produced the album by herself:
Many artists have been sued by multiple writers and producers for not being properly credited.
There are very few artists who write and produce entire albums by themselves. That's Prince and Stevie level artistry. Her not making another album says nothing other than she didn't make another album. Again, there's artists with multiple albums who have yet to duplicate the quality of whatever their best effort was even when working with the same group of individuals who helped create it.
They made her change it. The original release had her name and her name only.
