Lauryn Hill Tweets: “We Have to Find A Better Way to Commercially Exploit Music…”

Repost This Article

Lauryn Hill tries to make sense out of (The Hot 97 Summer Jam) nonsense yesterday by Tweeting her disapproval of Music Power Players (like Hot 97 Radio and DJ’s like Funkmaster Flex and Peter Rosenberg) using threats and intimidation to control artists.

Check it:

“I don’t have details on exactly what transpired between the station and the artists, but I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics. We can do better than this, there is a better way, or else ‘we’ (the proverbial we) find ourselves in danger of being hypocrites!!!” – Ms. Lauryn Hill
