This unreleased joint from LAURYN HILL has all the characteristics of a song thrown in the storage room: boring, monotone, and should feature J. Holiday-- 'cause it can easily put you to bed.

The sound quality on this joint is low, so turn your volume up.

Not too many people talking about this song. Why? Because... well nobody really cares.

Remember Lauryn Hill alongside Lil' Wayne's Ma Dukes Whoopie Goldberg in "Sister Act"? The explosion of the Fugees? Lauryn Hill as an impressive solo act? After experiencing so much success, Lauryn seemed to have been brought to her knees. It's been over a decade since The Fugees dropped what became the multi platinum The Score. Back in '05 they made an attempt to pull together and make it work, but it didn't work. And it wont. The released joint, "Take It Easy," didn't do a thing.

"We went in the studio and recorded a couple records that were incredible. But, to put it nicely, it's dead," Pras told Billboard.com back in July of '07. "Me and Clef, we on the same page, but Lauryn [Hill] is in her zone, and I'm fed up with that sh*t. Here she is, blessed with a gift, with the opportunity to rock and give and she's running on some bullsh*t? I'm a fan of Lauryn's but I can't respect that."

"When we was working on the album, I was like, [to Lauryn], 'You need to do this like this,"  Wyclef told (the now folded) Scratch Magazine back in July of last year. "[And] she says, 'How do you know what's relevant? I haven't heard anything from you in the past like three, four years?' ... Lauryn is straight up the problem, bro."

There you have it.

After looking like a cooning clown lunatic on stage during a performance in Brooklyn last year, it became widely accepted that Lauryn had kind of lost her mind and probably wasn't getting it back any time soon.
