If her performing talents, vocal range, and songwriting smarts weren't enough, Hill also produced much of the record, ranging from stun-gun hip-hop to smoother R&B with little trouble.
On the Fugees’ The Score, Hill rapped of having ”inner visions like Stevie.” At the time, the line seemed like hollow bluster from a trio who leaned so heavily on the past. But on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, she’s begun to deliver on that boast, and it truly is the sweetest thing.
The confidence with which Hill sings and raps herself into black music's mammoth tradition is balanced by the vulnerability of one of Miseducation's two themes: a love gone wrong, untangling itself painfully and slow.
For being almost 80 minutes long, Miseducation is a surprisingly easy listen, coasting mostly on Hill's simple repetition of phrases to emphasize a mood.
Turns out it’s very fucking good. The music on this is incredible. The switch between soulful singing and hip hop perfection is stunning. Quite an amazing project. I can see why people were upset this didn’t get a follow up.
Luckily it supplies over an hour of material with no skips. Wonderful album.
