The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

List Price: $13.98
Lowest Price: $5.97

Amazon.com's Best of 1998:

Amazon.com:

The first solo album by the Fugees' most distinctive voice quickly wipes away the pretensions of so many current hip-hoppers' discs. It does so by both engaging their widescreen ethos--"To Zion," with its martial drums and gospel choir, is as epic a production as has been heard in 1998's pop music--and speaking the plain truth. Reminiscent in its scope of nothing so much as Aretha's early-'70s Spirit in the Dark and Young, Gifted and Black, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill also easily earns its late-'90s place next to Erykah Badu's Baduizm. Even more personal, if hardly any more political, than cohort Wyclef Jean's Carnival, Miseducation focuses equally on her life (especially the birth of her child) and social concerns about the present and future. Its often quiet surface, if anything, lends intensity. "Everything you drop is so tired," she scolds artistically dead-ended rappers on "Superstar"; if more artists shared her vision, occasional eccentricities and bottom-line talent, she wouldn't have to complain. --Rickey Wright

Sooo Bittersweet
I bought this album when it first came out and listened to it like crazy. I remember her singing "Zion" at the grammys and crying it was so beautiful. I say it's bittersweet because obviously it's about love and heartache and breakup's and makeups. But also because this was her only ablum for a few years until she came out with that Unplugged album which was even more deep and dark and sad, but great. I love her music , you can tell what she's going through with every track. All around great investment.

Doesn't take much to describe this album
Even after a decade this album still sounds sooo much better than most anything else out right now. I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing this album over and over. I was introduced to it as a middle school kid, I rediscovered it a few months ago and just can't believe how fresh and deep it still sounds.

A decade later...
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" still sounds as fresh and new in 2008 as it did when it was released in 1998. It's hard to believe that its been ten years since this masterpiece was released. The songs are timeless. "Ex-Factor," "Doo Wop (That Thing)," "I Used To Love Him," "Lost Ones," "Everything Is Everything," "To Zion," and all the rest are classics. I bet in 2028 somebody, somewhere will still be rocking this CD. I'm still hoping for another Lauryn masterpiece. I know she's had her issues through the years since this Grammy-winning darling was released, but her talent is timeless. They don't make 'em like her anymore. I think she has another one in her. If she ever does decide to comeback, she has one fan that will be patiently waiting for her new "Miseducation!"

Never Gets Old.
Lauryn Hill after working with The Fugees, really does alot of R&B on this CD. They say that good music can stand the test of time, and this CD gets an A! You won't regret this buy.

once lost but now found
everything i needed to know about the cd i already knew.i purchased it when first released years ago but somewhere along the way it got misplaced.the miseducation of lauryn hill was a masterpiece then not to be duplicated because in my opinion it was her best.the enchantment of the songs on my mind stayed with me, so there was no doubt that eventually i would get a replacement and now happened to be that time.i'm content and satisfied she's no longer lost.
