Lauryn Hill is a fantastic talent. Like many other fantastic talents before and after her, at some point she lost humility and her mental state degraded.
She is completely nuts. Here is a video of Grammy and Emmy winner Robert Glasper talking in detail about just how nuts she is. It is really entertaining.

All three of them are legends. The Score remains one of the greatest and most influential contributions to contemporary music. The mastery of technique they demonstrate on that album is just about absolute.
Cannabis is a medicine, and, as such, must be used as minimally as possible, and never in combination with alcohol. And, of course, cocaine is no damn good for anyone, and lsd has been known to really wreck some people.

All that said, being Black in America (and lots of other places) is a never-ending stress factory. We must change our racial societal structures and perspectives to end this centuries-long callous misery.
