LAURYN HILL COMES OUT OF THE SHADOWS, SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ABOUT HER HIATUS...

Lauryn Hill has pleased many a fan after talking to NPR Music about why she left the game when she was white-hot, and then taking things further by going into exile. She also discusses being the mother of 5 chil'ren (!) and how now since her youngest is 2, she starting to feel her energy again and is getting excited about performing. We hope this is the case this time, 'cause we've heard it before. Lauryn was hands-down the hottest chick in the game, and we're beyond ready for her comeback. [NPR]
