Loooool. That place looks more ghetto than the worst slums in Rio - yet some fvckers would come here to label places better than most of the affluent places in naij as ghetto - hysterical. grin grin

Big ups to Lauryn Hill - legend! Greatest female rapper ever and top-10 greatest rapper ever.


Not in any where near Eve.Although both of them are old school now,Eve was better.

This is just utterly disrespectful and blasphemous. Comparing her to Eve is like comparing Nas to T.I. Eve at her peak wasn't even better than Foxy Brown.

Eve, Lil Kim, Lady of Rage, Da Brat, Left Eye, Missy Elliot et al are second tier female rappers. You can put Nicki Minaj in 3rd tier with Trina. If you want to compare anyone to Lauryn Hill - it has to be from this list: Jean Grae, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, and UK's own Monie Love.

Why do these people always go to the rugged part of lagos to shoot their yeye videos?
That was how that other fat slob- Rick Ross, went to the slum to shoot his yeye video.

Can't they go to VGC or Banana island to shoot?
These people are reinforcing the image of Nigeria being a slum!
I was about to talk about this when i saw your post. I guess there is this joy they find when they portray Africa in the light of a continent that is backward and ultimately needing the help of Europe and America.

SO THEY PAID HER TO COME TO NAIJA AND SHE IS USING THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO OTHER THINGS ABI?? ISORIT

I doubt that Lauryn Hill was paid anything to visit Nigeria. This woman is all about Africa here on America. Do your research before coming to conclusions.

I agree but we should not pretend these places don't exist. My issue is that they refuse to show the other side of Africa/Nigeria even though they have also seen that as the better areas are where they stay while in Lagos. They feel they are "being real", but honestly they are helping in the white man to continue his single story of negativity regarding Nigeria.

What is wrong with showing the poor, middle class and also the rich? Why can't they do that? All classes exist and some have transitioned into those classes.

Other black American artists don't feel the need to only talk about or show the ghetto or poverty of their people in the US because to be honest Black America lives very differently to White America.

Why do they not feel the need to "keep it real" then?

In those pics I see poverty but also hard work, industrious people and business owners. Hopefully the video will highlight that aspect. I want to believe that the finished product will show an alternative narrative.
