Intaba yaseLauryn.UScott Gries / ImageDirect Ndibuyele ePoughkeepsie Middle School, ngoSeptemba wonyaka wam wesibhozo, abaphathi babezama into entsha. Babedlala umculo ngexesha lesidlo sasemini, kwaye thina, bafundi, sasidla ngokukhetha esikumameleyo. Akufuneki ukuba kuthethwe, yayilixesha elifutshane lokulinga xa i-faculty yayiqondayo ukuba siyayithanda irap enezithuko. Kodwa phambi kokuba batsale intambo, utitshala wethu we-woodshop, uMnu Baxter-eyona ndoda imhlophe ndakhe ndayibona-weza Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn kwaye wayidlala kwindawo yokutyela. Ndicinga ukuba wenza nentetho encinci malunga nendlela awayecinga ukuba icwecwe ngayo okanye into, kodwa kwakamsinya nje ukuba kuvulwe imivalo yokulahleka kwabalahlekileyo, sonke saphambana.
Eli yayilixesha lam lokuqala ukuva icwecwe lonke ngenxa yokuba, njengomntu oneminyaka eli-12 engaphangeliyo nomama ongakholelwayo kwisibonelelo, bendingenayo imali yokuthenga iCD. Kodwa nangaliphi na ixesha ividiyo yomculo kaDoo Wop (loo nto) yayiza kwi-MTV, BET okanye i-VH1, ndandiyibukela ngolangazelelo olukhulu. Kuko oku , Ndacinga ngeloxesha. Nantsi into ebesiyilindile. ILauryn Hill yayisisandi kunye nobuso bexesha elizayo.
Iminyaka engamashumi amabini kamva, njengoko iziqwengana kunye neziqwengana zokuqengqeleka kukhumbula isikhumbuzo sayo, Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn ihlala iyimbali, ilitye lokuthinta kunye nesikhumbuzo kwinto enokuba yayiyintoni. Kwakubonakala ngathi yayiyiklasikhi kwakamsinya nje ukuba kuphume amasango, isaphula iirekhodi kwaye ibamba abagxeki kunye nabaphulaphuli kuzo zonke iindlela zobomi. Ndiyakhumbula ukuba uninzi lwee-divas zeepop, uMadonna, emva koko wonwabela ukoyisa kwakhe okunzima kunye nokuthengisa URay woKhanya , ebuzwa ukuba wayemamele ntoni ngelo xesha, waphendula ngokucula imigca yokuvula kuDoo Wop (Leyo Nto): Bantwana bamantombazana, niyazi ukuba nifanele ukulumkela. Kuba iLauryn Hill yayiza kuzo zonke izithsaba zethu.
Okungenakuphikwa ibikuku-L-Boogie Ukucwangciswa nokuba i-Grammys-engaziwa ncam ngokuncoma abantu basetyhini, singasathethi ke ngabafazi abamnyama, okanye, ngenxa yoko, i-hip-hop-yanika u-Hill iimbasa ezintlanu, kubandakanya ne-Albhamu yonyaka. Usenokubala inani labasetyhini abamnyama abaphumeleleyo kwiAlbham yoNyaka kwicala elinye: Natalie Cole ka Ayilibaleki ; UWhitney Houston we Umgcini womzimba Isandi (enye i-pop-culture juggernaut, kodwa ngokwenene ngumzamo wentsebenziswano apho iHouston yavela khona kwiitrekhi zayo ezintandathu kuphela); kwaye Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn . Kukho phantse a Uluhlu olukhulu lomculo kulungele oko Ukucwangciswa ayiveli. Kwaye kwisithuba seminyaka engamashumi amabini, ilifa le-Hill's kunye ne-albhamu kuphela ye-albhamu ikhule kuphela.
UNicki Minaj, omnye wabazobi abaninzi abathi u-Hill unefuthe, u-rap wakhe kwi-mixtape ka-2009, Ndijikeleze ngeScotty : Kodwa xa kunetha, ithululela okwenyani / Def Jam uthe andikho Lauryn Hill / Andikwazi ukudlwengula nokucula kwi-CD efanayo / Uluntu aluyi kuyifumana, bafumana i-A.D. Umlingane omdala welebheli kaMinaj uDrake uthathe isampulu ku-Doo Wop (That Thing) kwingoma yakhe ka-2014, uSuku loYilo, kwaye edume kakhulu, yi-Ex-Factor yakhe yonke indawo, itshathi-toppng 2018 bop Nice for What. UCardi B ukwenze isampulu sayo kulo nyaka Qaphela. Kodwa ukufikelela kweHill kudlulela ngaphaya kwe-hip-hop-kwi-2015, iThala leeNkcazo longeze Ukucwangciswa kwiRegistry yokuRekhoda kuZwelonke kunye nezinye izinto ezirekhodiweyo ezithathe inkcubeko, ngokwembali okanye ngokubaluleka kobuhle nokwazisa okanye ukubonisa ubomi eMelika.
Yimbonakalo yeNtaba yobomi eMelika eyenza ukuba udumo lwendalo iphela lufumaneke ngokungaqhelekanga, kodwa nento eyenze ukuba kube lula ukuqala. Njengonyango lwe-Anita Hill, kunye nenyani yokuba uStacey Abrams ukulungele ukwenza imbali njengowokuqala ukuba ngumfazi wase-Afrika-waseMelika kwimbali-ngo-2018! -Kuqinisekisile, eli lizwe alifane likhathalele ukuba bathini abafazi abamnyama. Kodwa amava amabhinqa amnyama eMelika, ngeendlela ezininzi, ibali laseMelika uqobo. Umdyarho wase-Afrika-waseMelika wayexelwe kwangaphambili kuthando lwabo, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi, ulwaphulo lwabo. Ke xa iLauryn Hill igqabhuka ngokuba namandla ngaphezu kweCleopatras ezimbini kunye nokuqhushumisa igrafiti kwingcwaba laseNefertiti, emva koko uthathe ii-MCs ukuya eSerengeti ngeengqisho ezinzima ezifana nengqondo kaBetty Shabazz kuyo yonke into, okanye xa egxeka iinwele njengabantu baseYurophu kwinombolo 1 hit U-Doo Wop (loo Nto), ubeka ubumnyama bakhe ngaphambili nakwiziko, esenza ukuba kungaphepheki-kodwa ngenxa yetalente yakhe engenakuphikwa, kunye namandla omculo we pop, nayo iyathandeka ngendlela emangalisayo.
Kwanasekuqaleni kwayo, umbono we Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn inkulu kunayo nayiphi na imbono, isazisi okanye umntu. I-Hill igubungela uthando kuyo yonke imizimba yayo, ihambisa enye yeengoma ezintle malunga nokuba ngumama kunye neZiyon. Ucula malunga nokuba mncinci, ukuba nethemba kwaye aphelelwe ngamandla. Uhlabelela ngokufuna ikamva elingcono kuye nakuthi sonke. Kungenxa yokuba yayithetha ngokutyibilikayo, isemoyeni, inomdla ngobomi ngokwabo, Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn ikwazile ukugqitha kwimida yesiko yohlobo lwayo kunye nezithintelo ezibekwe kumdali wayo. Kwakunjalo, kwaye kusenjalo, yonke into.
Khange ndiphele ndithenga eyam ikopi Ukucwangciswa Kude kube ngunyaka emva kokuba uMnu. Baxter eyidlalile ngelo xesha lesidlo sasemini ngoSeptemba kwibanga lesibhozo. Ndikhumbula umhla kanye endawufumana ngawo: ngoNovemba 5, 1999. Yayiyiminyaka eyi-14 yokuzalwa kwam, nangona oko kwakugutyungelwe ngumngcwabo kamama, owasweleka kwiintsuku nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo emva kwedabi elifutshane nelingakhange liphathwe ngumkhuhlane.
Ukulandela umngcwabo, ndahlala ndedwa kwigumbi lokulala likamakazi, ngokuzolileyo ndizinqwenelela usuku lokuzalwa olumnandi, xa abazala bam bandothusa ngento esenokuba sisipho sam sokuzalwa endisithandayo: ezinye iiCD ezivela ePoughkeepsie Galleria Mall. Omnye wabo wayenjalo Ukucwangciswa kweNduli yaseLauryn . Kwakukukhanya kubo bonke ubumnyama bemini, kwaye ndandiyimamele ngokungapheliyo, ndicula kwaye ndicofa kuyo, ndiyikhumbula ngentloko ukusuka ekuqaleni kuye esiphelweni, ukuyifaka ngaphakathi.
Mna nomama sasihlala kwigumbi elinye kwigumbi lethu elincinci eliseMain Street, kwaye ngoku yayindim ndedwa, nangona ubukho bakhe babusekho. Kwelo gumbi, ndandihlala ebhedini yam encinci, kuba andinakukunyamezela ukuphazamisa ibhedi yakhe enkulu, ethe-ethe kakhulu enobukhulu obabuyinto yesikhumbuzo sokufa kwakhe, kwaye ndiphupha Ukucwangciswa . Ndandikhululekile kwaye ndonwabile kwaye ndingasekho kwimveliso yeemeko zam njengoko ndandicula ndisiya eZiyon, i-ode ukusuka kumama kuye kumntwana endamkhulisa njengowam. Xa ingoma icotshiwe bendiza kucula phezulu emiphungeni yam, entlokweni yam ingqinelana noNks. Hill inqaku: UVUYO LWAM! UVUYO LWAM! UVUYO LWAM! UVULELO LWAM! kwaye iinyembezi zaziza kuthi gwantyi emehlweni am.
Yayiluvuyo olumsulwa.
