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

Deeply missed!.......2007-08-01

There are very few artists today who can educate with their lyrics. Lauren Hill was able to speak to many differnt genres. She gave a me a sense of self worth that I didn't learn at home. The children of today need a "Miss Hill" to help educate them where parents and school fail. Your music is missed Miss Hill!

Powerful lyrics.......2007-06-14

With lyrics like hers, there's almost no need for the music.

10 years later.......2007-05-28

By now we all know how ground breaking this CD was. Almost 10 years later it's still ahead of it's time. Hill paved the way other singers, and other sounds. From the slow sad songs, to the upbeat I am woman hear me roar lyrics, Hill lays it down.

Just amazing.......2007-03-31

Leaving the Fugees and making an album for the music industry was a great move. This album gives us great songs like "Zion" and "Nothing even Matters" a duet with De'Angelo. This album is one that you will find yourself listening to for days because it is so unique. Her voice mystical, passionate and touching. Join her on her journey.

top of the hill.......2007-03-08

Lauryn Hill is a fantastic singer. I wish she would put out more CD's. It is a thrill to hear every song she sings on this CD. She is the BOMB!!!!

9-I used To Love Him: I'm completly in love with this song!! Great! 5/5 [...Thought what i wanted was something I needed...]

10-Forgive Them Father: Not one of my fav' but a good one ;-) 4/5 [...Beware the false motives of others,Be careful of those who pretend to be brothers...]

11-Every Ghetto, Every City: I like the beat, but not so much the lyric. 4/5 [...The streets that nurtured Lauryn Hill,Made sure that I'd never go too far...]

12-Nothing Even Matters: So sweet, and beautiful. 5/5 [...See I don't need no alcohol, Your love makes me feel ten feet tall...]

13-Everything Is Everything: I like this song a lot. The lyrics and beat are so cool! 5/5 [...I wrote these words for everyone, Who struggles in their youth,Who won't accept deception,Instead of what is truth...]

14-The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill: ummm...I think it's not one of the best...i can't rate it...SO U DO IT! ;-) --/5 [...I look at my environment,And wonder where the fire went,What happened to everything we used to be,I hear so many cry for help...]

15-Can't Take My Eyes Off You: Nice version! I lik it sssoo much! 4/5 [...Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing

WELL..THIS IS ALL...U MUST GET THIS ALBUM

Truly unbelievable music (This album is alive!).......2002-07-05

Lauryn Hill is a genius and her music is a true reflection of this. Her album is a unique collection of surreal soul, distinguished by unrivalled lyrical craftmanship and surely the predominant reason we have ears. Ex-factor is healer and a killer. Owning this CD is a privilege(how else can you describe that "lauryn feeling"?)

A blend of beauty and magic!.......2001-07-19

This CD is magical, the lyrics are deep. I've been a Lauryn Hill fan from the way back days of the Fugees and she's simply AWESOME. It's no surprise she nabbed 5 Grammys from this album, her first solo. This represents what good music should be, just buy it and listen to it's magic!!! To say the truth, this album deserves 10 stars!!! Lauryn, I thank God for your life and inspiration, keep up the good work!!!

This CD was on my player 24/7!.......2000-11-16

Lauryn Hill is truly an inspiration to me. She touches me in the very deepest of my heart in this album. I especially love Ex-Factor, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Every Ghetto, Every City, and the title of the album, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. I remember the first time I discovered Lauryn Hill. My mom rented the video, Sister Act 2 and I was already a fan by then. I was only five at that time. I hope she will produce many more albums like this and may she stay successful forever in all her entertainment business career!

CAN'T TAKE MY EARS (eyes) OFF LAURYN'S MUSIC!!!.......1999-09-26

I really love Lauryn's music since she was in the Fugees. I love Ex-Factor, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, DooWop (That Thing), & Everything is Everything the best! But all in all, LAURYN's THE BEST!!!!!!! You go girl!!!!

Customer Reviews:

Very Good Solo Effort! Very Well Produced for a Great Sound!.......2005-11-26

This is fast becoming a classic to last the ages. Not only are the tracks great musically but the lyrics are so heartfelt and meaningful as well. The tracks flow along very nicely and there are no noticeable fillers or weak tracks here. The sound quality is very good and the bass is killer! However, the only distinctive feature of this version over the normal one is that the disc itself resembles an old vinyl lp which to me isn't really a big deal. If they made the cover a mini-lp sleeve package then perhaps it'll be worth paying the extra bucks. A very good hip-hop/r&b album which is destined to outlast the others over time and become a classic. Highly recommended although you may want to get the cheaper version which probably sounds just as good unless you really need the old vinyl lp-looking disc which I kinda doubt that you do. Also, the track listing on this site for some reason includes two bonus tracks which are really not on the disc and so it's not like you're paying extra for bonus tracks either.

The best ever!.......1999-06-29

Damn! Lauryn's good. All the songs on her cd rock, and have depth added to them too. She's the best!

A Masterpiece........1999-06-03

Melodic, poetic, and infused with passion and meaning. Lauryn is a true artist. Every song on this CD is good, which isn't something you can say about many albums. If you've only heard her songs on the radio, you'll be surprised at her depth and range on the album as a whole. This is a masterpiece worth every cent.

This is the best CD since the beginning of time.......1999-05-31

If you haven't heard this CD yet, you don't know what you're missing. LAuryn's got the songs that hit home and you make feel good. She got the words to make you think. If you want to do something smart got out and bye this CD.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......1999-04-15

Alls I gots to say is that lauryn hill is da bomb! And damn gina she'd better keep it up.
