Lauryn Hill - The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill

The social heart of The Fugees and its most talented performer, Lauryn Hill, tailored The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill not as a crossover record but as a collection of overtly personal and political statements.

Nevertheless, it rocketed to the top of the album charts and made her a superstar. Hill's verses were intelligent and hardcore, with the talent to rank up there with Method Man. For the choruses, she could move from tough to smooth in a flash, with a vocal prowess that allowed her to be her own chanteuse.

If that weren't enough, she also produced much of the record.
