Free Music Notes for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Free Music Review: Miseducation indeed
Hit: 4 Stars
This CD never gets old. Lauryn was in rare form and seemingly at the peak of her creativity. I don't know what happened but I'm waiting for the genius of songwriting ability to return. Though I've never thought much of her as "Live" performer, she definitely is the bomb in the studio. Great CD. Highly recommend.Free Music Review: A Masterpiece
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is arguably one of the best album released in the 90s. The record's content includes some unrivaled rap tracks, some catchy pop tracks, and some of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. She is undoubtley a contemporary equal of Aretha Franklin. The record takes you on a ride of agreesive hip hop to beautiful love songs. This album marks the benchmark for female R&B artists as a goal to aspire to. If you like hip hop buy it now, if you like pop buy it now, if you like good music buy it now!!!Free Music Review: It's really 2 bad we never got a follow-up

Lauryn Hill's album greatly contributed to the ever-expanding world of hip hop artistry.
With Mary J. Blige bridging the hip hop sound with soulful R&B, you gotta credit Lauryn Hill with blending reggae with hip hop and R&B.
I just got through listening to this album last night for the first time in a while and it still brings back fond memories of my junior year in college when it first came out. Any album that can pull you back into time so vividly is nothing short of classic!
But I call this a 5-star masterpiece because we haven't seen anyone daring to imitate Lauryn's vibe on this album ... which should show how unique and creative it is.
Personal favorite tracks are "Doo Wop (That Thing)" which shows that venomous mouth on L-Boogie when she really feels compelled to grab your attention.
"Lost Ones," "Ex-Factor" "Nothing Even Matters" with D'Angelo and "I Used to Love Him" with Mary J. Blige are other standout tracks, but this is an album of a dying breed in that you really can listen to it all the way through.
Don't sleep on the hidden bonus cut "Be Alright," I actually awoke one morning about a year ago with this song in my head and couldn't even remember when I'd last heard it.
That's magical music right there!
Highly recommended for picky R&B listeners who favor a Mary J. Blige-Faith Evans-Lauryn Hill-Aaliyah kind of hip hop vibe (notice I didn't put Alicia Keys-Beyonce-Ashanti or Keyshia Cole in this category yet).
Free Music Review: The Perfect Companion
Hit: 5 Stars
Whenever I'm feeling down I always put this CD on. It reminds me that everything in my life happens for a reason. If I'm going through a break up, I'm reminded that I should "let go and you'll let go to". If everything seems out of place and in complete chaos I just let Lauryn tell me that "everything is everything". She always lets me cry on her shoulder. I'd be lost if I couldn't lean on her, and her words of wisdom. Miseducated or well-informed through life experience? The latter I think. Free Music Review: Lauryn Hill's Classic

Lauryn Hill had made this groundbreaking album which lifts hip hop and soul to new heights. Lauryn Hill has been crowned for this album. This record recalls the glory days of R&B when Aretha was queen and Stevie, Marvin, and Bob were the kings of her court. Lauryn had pushed the envelope of rap, hip hop, and soul by re-inventing old school and letting the listeners discover it in a new way. This is a record that you hear in your gut. This is a record that goes deep. Ms. Hill has created a record that should be heard.
Lauryn paints vivid and moving pictures with her intelligent lyrics and grooving beats. Standout tracks were Superstar, Forgive Them Father; Everything is Everything, and the secret track The Sweetest Thing. Superstar is a masterpiece. It opens with a tight reggae riff reminiscent of Marley and then settles into a taut groove where Lauryn invites, "Come on baby light my fire." Hill's lyrics deal with real issues such as her son, Zion ("To Zion") to the mixed-up priorities of today's youth ("Doo Wop: That Thing") and of course, there's more than one song about love.
Hill proves that a female artist doesn't have to exploit women to make money. Her lyrics would make most women raise their heads in pride. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, one of the defining albums of the 90's.
