When rap legend Rakim was asked by MTV News who he most wanted to see on stage at Rock The Bells in San Bernardino this summer, he had a quick answer.
“Lauryn Hill, man….I’m amped. Lauryn, welcome back. We need you.”
It was the first time in over a decade most of those in attendance had seen the hip-hop legend perform on stage, and they weren’t disappointed. Along with some new rhymes, she gifted the crowd with classics from The Score and Miseducation. During a reggae breakdown of “Fugee La” she was joined on stage by Mary J. Blige, Beyoncé and Alicia Keys, and her set ended with her telling her fans repeatedly, “I miss you. I miss you.”
Fans on the East Coast who miss her too will get an opportunity to experience Lauryn Hill up close and personal at these intimate venues over the next few weeks. Can you imagine being at the Blue Note for a Lauryn Hill concert? (Definitely on my Christmas wish list).
