I think Lauryn Hill has a beatiful look but it's not especially distinctive.
There is no rule that another black woman cannot wear her hair in that way,
or even rock a jeans jacket to great effect in the same way. Whitney is also
a beautiful woman. Sure she's biting, but her biting is bigger than the
Lauryn Hill-thing. She's got all these Darkchild tracks on her album, Wyclef
is on it, Missy Elliot is on it. She has tried very deliberately to change
her perception. Some of the songs work. I am not sure about some of the
other ones. I am not hating her for wanting to make a change, but I think
she has held back vocally on the album. THAT to me is more of a cop out to
cross over or co-opt than how she rocks her hair.
