Podcast appearances and mentions of Lauryn Hill

The Gemini Zodiac: Duality, Downloads & Divine MessengersStep into the mercurial mind of the Gemini—the zodiac's shapeshifter, storyteller, and sacred twin. In this episode, we explore the magic and madness of Gemini season, the astrological energy of this air sign ruled by Mercury, and why Geminis are often misunderstood yet magnetic. From their gift of gab to their quicksilver moods, we'll dive deep into what makes this sign so charming, chaotic, and spiritually significant.We'll also cover:✨ The mythology of the twins across cultures

Episode 87 kicks off with some light banter and shots at Duke Dennis for allegedly having multiple baby mothers, along with Trivelle demanding time in the studio to finally record a track with OShauN. The spotlight then shifts to the news of OVO R&B duo DVSN ending their deal and signing with So So Def, where they'll now be curated by Jermaine Dupri. This sparks a deeper conversation about the functionality of artist-led labels and whether they really work. The discussion brings up DTP (Disturbing Tha Peace) led by Ludacris, which leads to a fun face-off: Bobby Valentino vs. Chingy, debating who was the better artist from a musician-led label while comparing their top hits. Next up is Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI', (which has officially dropped). A sneak peek of a Mannie Fresh-produced single sets the tone for the group's reaction. That leads into talk about the Clipse and their upcoming album, along with the controversy surrounding their split from Def Jam, a move that allegedly involved a seven-figure buyout. The gang breaks down the label holdups around their Kendrick Lamar feature, which was reportedly being threatened to be censored or removed for taking shots at Drake. Staying on music, DJXP plays a leaked Lil Baby single that samples a Crime Mob classic. This triggers a debate on modern sampling, including what should be sampled, how it should be done, and some standout examples in 2025. DJXP then stands on a solo hill, boldly claiming that Erykah Badu's Baduizm deserves the same level of praise and acclaim as Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The conversation shifts to Taylor Swift buying back her masters, Stefon Diggs matching Offset's energy, and Cardi B's clapback involving the NFL star. That opens the question: does having a spouse actually help your focus in sports? The gang runs through a quick list of ballplayers who had strong women by their side during their rise. There's a quick detour into Toronto Raptors speculation. Could they actually land Giannis? Reality sets in, and the conversation turns into a wild rabbit hole about Paul George being the unexpected centerpiece in multiple NBA shifts, including the Finals and SGA's rise. The group reflects on how the Raptors may have been positioned to win another championship during the bubble years if the core roster with Kawhi Leonard had stayed intact. To close the episode, a fiery and emotional final segment breaks out between Trivelle and OShauN, centered around a viral Facebook post from a stepfather venting about being disrespected by his daughter and her mother.

Am 26. Mai 2025 feiert Lauryn Hill ihren 50. Geburtstag – ein Meilenstein für eine der prägendsten Künstlerinnen der letzten Jahrzehnte. Lauryn Hill kann so einiges: Sie ist Sängerin, Rapperin, Produzentin, Aktivistin – und kaum jemand hat den Spagat zwischen Soul, Hip-Hop und Spiritualität so eindrucksvoll gemeistert wie sie.

What do you get when In the News takes over the whole episode? A disorganized perfection, and we wouldn't have it any other way. This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, Lady P's plan was promptly disregarded like fast-fashion from last season, while the 2025 Met Gala pulled at our heartstrings. With the theme "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," and the dress code "Tailored for You," we perused the blue carpet, and we are here for every bead, button, and bespoke moment! We breakdown the best and most unforgettable looks (and unapologetically fabulous looks) and some that had wondering what happened: Shaboozey made his Met Gala debut in a turquoise wave-patterned suit, matched with turquoise grillz, and a tilted wide brim hat basically saying, "I am the owner of this carpet." Lauryn Hill looking like butter wouldn't melt in her Jude Dontoh suit that included cape, umbrella, and drama worthy collar that gave us chills. Demi Moore, black tie redefined with a beaded ensemble that was an actual necktie. Fashion pun intended and executed completely. And Colman Domingo serving royalty in Valentino and Boucheron layered with sequins, and more texture than a luxury fabric swatch book, to name just a few. If you enjoy a none too serious Met Gala recap with a side of sass and smarts, and tailored suit talk, this episode is custom made for you. Listen in for your weekly dose of style talk.

Friend of the Show Jen (@JenWalksN2Walls on TikTok) joins us to cover Sister Act 2. We once again follow the misadventures of Deloris (Whoopi Goldberg), a Las Vegas headliner who selfishly abandons the backup dancers, crew members, and support staff who rely on her show to make their living, all so she can go be a substitute teacher at a Catholic school for some reason. Seriously, is she paying all these people out of her pocket while her show is on hiatus? Or is she like Jimmy Fallon during the 2023 strikes, sending them each a $20 gift card and best wishes?   Anyway. This movie's a lot of fun, but it is all over the place. Looking into the production history, we see it's a hastily produced sequel that seems almost as if it started as an original, unrelated script about a high school choir competition and then had the Sister Act nuns awkwardly grafted onto it. Still, Whoopi Goldberg is her usual delightful self, but she's outshined by these delightful kids, including a just-about-to-be-a-superstar Lauryn Hill as Rita, a high schooler whose mom hates choirs more than anything else.    Next week: Death Proof (2007)   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get extra episodes!

In this episode of "Hip Hop What Ifs," hosted by D and 12Kyle, the discussion turns to the question, "What if Lauryn Hill had continued her rap career?" They delve into the impactful yet complex legacy of Lauryn Hill in the hip-hop world. As they explore the trajectory of Hill's career, from her groundbreaking work with the Fugees to her transformative solo album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," listeners are invited to consider how Hill's choices might have reshaped the landscape of female rap. The episode navigates through Lauryn Hill's rise in the music industry, touching on key moments like the Fugees' success with their album "The Score," and Hill's departure from music to focus on personal life. With in-depth analysis, the hosts ponder the potential influence Hill could have wielded in contemporary hip-hop, drawing parallels to artists like Foxy Brown, Lil' Kim, and later figures such as Rapsody. They also entertain the idea of Hill making a comeback and what that would mean in today's musical context. Ultimately, this engaging dialogue highlights Hill's enduring influence and the hypothetical shift she could have sparked in women's rap music.   Email the show at hiphopwhatif@gmail.com Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542                          Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395                          Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je                To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH                      YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU                      Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ                     Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1  IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y

The latest podcast episode offers an engaging blend of cultural commentary, nostalgia, and debates that tackle both movies and music. The hosts kick off the conversation with reflections on the cult classic Big Trouble in Little China. While one host felt a nostalgic connection, the other struggled to connect, admitting the film's fast-paced action might resonate more with those who experienced it during its prime. This leads to humorous discussions about cultural representation and characters' dynamics. The spotlight then shifts to Billboard's controversial “Top 25 Female Rappers of All Time.” While heavy hitters like Nicki Minaj, Missy Elliott, and Lauryn Hill dominate the list, the hosts voice strong opinions about rankings, questioning placements like Lauryn Hill's top-three spot due to her limited rap catalog. They also highlight underappreciated talents like Shauna and critique the absence of certain deserving artists. A recurring theme explores how music resonates personally. The hosts candidly discuss how emotional connection shapes taste, particularly in how men engage with female rap. They emphasize the need for authenticity in music appreciation rather than societal performance.

EPISODE 127: Francis Dunnery defies easy categorization. His work reflects a deep commitment to personal freedom and individuality. While his style is often playfully philosophical, he's also capable of crafting achingly profound, beautiful music. Dunnery first gained public recognition in the 1980s as the lead vocalist and guitarist of the progressive rock band It Bites, achieving chart success across Europe and Asia. Since then, he has embarked on a diverse musical journey spanning over three decades, collaborating with renowned artists such as Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Carlos Santana, Chris Difford (Squeeze), Ian Brown (The Stone Roses), Lauryn Hill, and Steve Hackett (Genesis). He has also performed with legendary bands like Yes and Hootie and the Blowfish, and shared the stage with the iconic Chris Squire. Beyond these collaborations, Dunnery is a celebrated rock icon in his own right, having released over ten albums of original and diverse compositions, achieving international chart success. He is also the founder and president of The Charlie and Kathleen Dunnery Children's Fund (CKDCF), a charity dedicated to children's health and wellness in West Cumbria, England. The CKDCF hosts an annual benefit concert and charity walk, attracting support from some of the biggest names in rock and roll history. Dunnery is more than just a musician. He's an educator, a master songwriter, a mentor, and a storyteller. As Robert Plant once observed, “Francis Dunnery should be a public service.” For over four decades, he has consistently created original and engaging entertainment for his fans, from new CDs and live concerts to astrology readings and house concerts. Today, more than ever, Dunnery remains dedicated to his own personal freedom and individuality, and encourages the same in his audience. He continues his music and philosophical studies and plans to live a long and fulfilling life.Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

(S4 Ep 17) Nina Simone- Sings the Blues (RCA)Released 1967, Recorded December 19-January 5, 1967Nina Simone Sings the Blues is a powerful, emotionally raw album that marked a significant shift in Nina Simone's career. Her first release with RCA Victor showcases her deep connection to the blues tradition, drawing influence from legends like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday. With tracks like "Do I Move You?" and "Backlash Blues," inspired by Langston Hughes, Simone's music captures the racial tensions and personal struggles of the 1960s. Although it didn't chart highly, the album's authenticity and emotional depth solidified her place as one of America's greatest musical voices. The album blends jazz, blues, gospel, and soul, with Simone's poignant piano work and powerful vocals leading the way. Tracks like "I Want a Little Sugar in My Bowl" and "Real Real” showcase her mastery of the genre and her unapologetic, bold musical style, influencing future artists like Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill.Signature Tracks: "My Man's Gone Now,"  "Backlash Blue,"  "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl." Full Albums YouTube  Spotify Playlists      YouTube Spotify

The music industry is in shock and mourning the tragic loss of neo-soul legend Angie Stone. The singer, known for timeless hits like “No More Rain” and “I Wish I Didn't Miss You”, died in a car crash early Saturday morning while traveling from Montgomery, Alabama, to Atlanta. Her longtime manager, Walter Millsap, confirmed that Stone was the only fatality, as the vehicle she was in flipped over and was hit by a big rig. A trailblazer in neo-soul, Angie helped shape the genre alongside Erykah Badu, D'Angelo, and Maxwell. Her influence stretched far beyond her own music—she worked with icons like Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, and Lauryn Hill, leaving an indelible mark on R&B and soul. She is survived by two children and two grandchildren. Angie was not only an incredible artist but also a beautiful soul, and she will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Angie Stone—your voice and spirit will live on through your music.

The War and Treaty's Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One, as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they're blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

In this episode, Stauney and Sadie tune into untold stories of the women who helped build Hip Hop from the ground up. While the genre is often defined by its male icons, it was women like Cindy Campbell—who threw the legendary party that birthed Hip Hop—and Sylvia Robinson—who brought it to the mainstream—that made it all possible. We dive into the origins of the genre, from basement parties to block-wide movements, and spotlight 12 trailblazing women who shaped the genre: Sha-Rock, The Mercedes Ladies, Roxanne Shanté, Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Lauryn Hill, Lil' Kim, Foxy Brown, and Missy Elliott. From pioneering MCs to groundbreaking producers, these women didn't just break into the scene—they rewrote the rules, using Hip Hop as a platform for empowerment, activism, and cultural change. Join us as we explore the often-overlooked queens of Hip Hop and their lasting impact on music, feminism, and culture. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
