"While you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone, and defecating on your microphone."
- Lauryn Hill, Ready Or Not
I like to imagine this conversation happened at some point in history...
Person who uses the mic after Lauryn Hill: "Uh, why does this microphone smell like shit?"
Stagehand: "Oh because Lauryn Hill was just here, and ya know... she was being Nina Simone."
Person who uses the mic after Lauryn Hill: "... AND?"
Stagehand: "You know... the other guy was imitating Al Capone and then... she took a shit on it... duh."

yeah... i'd like to hear what Ms. Simone's opinion on this is... I mean, sayin somebody shits on microphones is a pretty wild accusation. Nina Simone HAD to be pissed... or shitted??? shat??? ????????
ReplyDeletecmon guys, you can do better than this...smh
ReplyDeleteIt's a well known fact: nothing Lauryn Hill says makes one whit of sense.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to not be even remotely paying attention to her music to say that.
DeleteTry harder. That's a pretty dope line right there.
ReplyDeleteAlways had a problem with this lyric..
ReplyDeleteThe mental image it gives me just makes me lose respect for the lass..
While you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone, and defecating on your microphone
