Critically acclaimed 1998 debut from Ms. Hill. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a stone cold classic that launched Lauryn's solo career and landed her a few Grammys in the process. You probably know the words to most of the songs on here, that's how you know it's a classic. Our vintage Lab review - This is some 30 years later, you're wrinkling and still listening to this shit. I wonder if you'll still be able to get down to "Ex-Factor" which DJ promos blew up and the Grammys sunk. "Superstar" is the perfect blend of soul and hip-hop that only a few have pulled off. Don't miss out on the "hidden" tracks, no longer hidden on the vinyl, they're keepers. If you can't get down to this, you got issues. Factoid: You meet 1-2 Lauryn type badass girls a year (5-8 if you live in NY). If you meet one, jump at the chance or you'll regret it. Double vinyl pressing.
