I know I'm going to get the hatemail for this but hey sometimes the conversation needs to be had.
On July 8 Lauryn Hill has to report to the authorities to start her 3 month sentence. Lauryn Hill is a lot of things. She is a beautiful woman, a talented singer songwriter, actress and rapstress. Unfortunately she's also a criminal. I've read a lot of posts and a lot of twitter comments about how they should let her go or they should have mercy on her. I believe 3 months is mercy!!!
I do not have much sympathy for her. There is a rising trend of celebrities thinking they are too good to pay there taxes and guess what...YOUR NOT. If I have to fill out my tax forms and have them in by April 15 every year with the little bit of money I make...then dammit you as a celebrity that states how they want laws to be govern properly, how the world should be a better place, how you want the youth to be law abiding citizens...YOU START FIRST.
It doesn't matter that you have one of the best selling and complete albums ever in life, you made millions and no matter how you squandered or smoked or gambled your money away...UNCLE SAM STILL COMES A KNOCKING...they want there money. I hope she is safe and she comes out of this with a new out look on her future and maybe make some new music. But I bet she won't forget to file them papers and write that check anymore.
