The Misclownification of Lauryn Hill

I’ve finally found something sadder than a sad clown. It’s a sad, crazy clown. Oh Lauryn, I know The Fugees reunion is stalled, but did you really have to try out for the Insane Clown Posse?

I used to have such a HUGE crush on Ms. Hill... *sigh*; 12:27 PM

.-.-.- said...: Can't be, Insane Clown Posse started in 1987, nothing to do with "Rize" who was filmed and released in 2004 and 2005 respectively. And although Lauryn Hill does look ridiculous on this picture, this has nothing to do with clowning. Instead, I suspect that being married to Bob Marley's son, she got to visit Lee "Scratch" Perry's wardrobe and borrowed an item or two...; 4:30 PM

And for what it's worth, plush, Insane Clown Posse actually didn't get its name from krumping or clowning. ICP is a truly godawful rap-rock band from Detroit that's been around for a good 15 years or so, long before krumping or clowning started up in LA.; 4:41 PM

WordNerd said...: Amanda, clowning and krumping are styles of dancing that originated in LA. How much it's done outside of LA, I have no idea. I only know a little bit about it because I saw the documentary that plush mentioned, "Rize." It's really interesting, and the dancing is pretty incredible.; 10:41 PM
