Lauryn Hill performed at the first Rock the Bells show in Los Angeles on Saturday, heading an old-school hip-hop flashback of a performance featuring the likes of Rakim, Slick Rick, A Tribe Called Quest, the Wu-Tang Clan, and Snoop Dogg.
Hill was backed by a six-piece band with several backup singers, and performed several sped-up versions of her songs, including the classic “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and “Lost One,” as MTV reported.
At the Bells concert in San Bernadino, California, Hill looked calm and relaxed.
“It’s good to see you, everybody!” she told the audience after she did a rendition of “Hurts So Bad.”
She ended the set with Fugees’ classics “Ready or Not” and “Fugee La.”
Throughout much of the last decade, Hill has been missing in action in the recording studio, and hardly performed live at all. Her last studio album was the multi-platinum selling and critically-acclaimed “Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” and she did “MTV Unplugged No. 2.0,“ a live performance which then became an album in 2002.
Before her solo outing, Lauryn Hill was the singer and sometimes a rapper for the Fugees, also making a massive wave with their second album, “The Score”—along with rapper, multi-instrumentalist, and now-aspiring Haitian president Wyclef Jean.
