2 x LP pressing of her multi-platinum debut album. Features 'Doo Wop (That Thing),' Ex-Factor' and 'Everything is Everything'.
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
