Lauryn Hill: MTV Unplugged 2.0
Miles Marshall Lewis, Village Voice, July 2002
I can faithfully, honestly say that hiphop is dead. – Q-Tip
Hiphop being counterculture, underground culture, that's sorta dead. It's all mainstream. It's just a bunch of pop music.
– Meshell Ndégeocello
Anything that's not growing is dead. So we better be changing.
– Lauryn Hill
