Product Description

From 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Some songs are monotomous, but otherwise excellent!, April 8 2002

This review is from: Miseducation Of (Audio CD)
Lauryn Hill is an excellent singer and rapper, as most people can see by hearing her songs or watching her in the movie Sister Act 2. This album can really prove her ability to influence her listeners. I'm not much of a fan of songs that are all rap, because I feel bored by the second verse begins and I don't feel it shows true singing ability.

TRACKS and RATINGS:
1) Intro. This one's the intro, and it's one of the things where the teacher does attendance and goes, "____________(name)?" No answer. It's just an intro, so no rating.

2) Lost Ones. This is one of the mostly rap songs. I don't like it at all, and the only times Lauryn shows off her great voice is a few, all times in the backround and nearly inaudible. R: 3/5

3) Ex-Factor. I like this song a lot. It's a really beautiful song (instrumental, melody, harmony), and Lauryn expresses great singing ability. R: 5/5

4) To Zion. The rhythm is excellent, and it reminds me of a band song called March Zuma. It's a great song, and its only problem is the ending. It's just a bit weird. R: 5/5

5) Doo Wop (That Thing). This is another song I really like. There's only a bit of rap, great melody, a nice song to listen to. Excellent rhythm. I like the chorus. R: 5/5

6) Superstar. This song's okay, not the best. The chorus gets a bit annoying after a while, but its a good song. R: 4/5

7) Final Hour. This is another all-rap song. It's like some sort of freaky chant, repeating thes words. At the very end, the song tries to save itself, but its too late. Listeners have already changed the track in hope for something better. R: 3/5

8) When It Hurts So Bad. Very good, except for the beginning. Otherwise, its up there with all the 5 star songs. R: 5/5

9) I Used To Love Him. Again, the beginning's weird. Its even weirder! I don't like the beginning, but the rest of the song picks up later. Pretty good. R: 4/5

10) Forgive Them Father. Some listeners might think my opinions odd, but I kinda liked this song. Nice rhthym, great melody. Nice Lauryn sounds. Overall, nice to listen to. R: 5/5

11) Every Ghetto, Every City. I like this song a lot. Its really something you can nod your head to. There's a street feeling, like the singers are just chilling on the sidewalk. R: 5/5

12) Nothing Even Matters. Eh. I've seen better songs with more diversity in melody. It's just the repeating of the same tune, so I have to knock off a point for blandness. R: 4/5

13) Everything is Everything. Like Every Ghetto, Every City, there's a street beat, and its a good song. R: 5/5

14) The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The song that's the CD's namesake is a slow one, but still a nice song. There's a feeling like sadness, but still good song. R: 5/5

There are two hidden tracks, but I'm tired. Anyway, overall, this is a great CD. Those Grammy chooser people chose right. Lauryn Hill deserves the honors, and you should definitely buy this CD. Later!
