About this album

Ruffhouse 19 tracks (94:19)
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is the debut solo album studio by Lauryn Hill. Released August 25, 1998, the album swept the Grammy Awards in 1999, being nominated for 10 and winning five. As of 2009, the album has sold over 19 million copies worldwide and over 10 million copies in the US alone, with the RIAA giving it Diamond status .

Background

In 1997, Hill began production on an album that would eventually become The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The title was partially inspired by The Education of Sonny Carson, a film and autobiographical novel about a troubled African American youth. The album includes collaborations with soul singer D’Angelo on “Nothing Even Matters”, guitarist CARLOS SANTANA on “To Zion”, singer Mary J. Blige on “I Used to Love Him”; as well as then little-known John Legend playing the piano on “Everything is Everything”. Songs for the album were largely written in an attic studio in South Orange, New Jersey and recorded at Chung King Studios in Jamaica. Wyclef Jean, Hill’s bandmate with The Fugees, initially didn’t support Hill recording a solo album, but eventually offered his production help; Hill declined his assistance.

Several songs on the album concerned her frustrations with The Fugees; “I Used to Love Him” dealt with the break-down of the relationship between Hill and Wyclef Jean.

    A bonafide masterpiece—only that unlikely can never be bettered. No wonder we're still awaiting its follow-up.

    Lauryn Hill is such a talent, and such a human being. If you're a real Lauryn fan, check out this rare interview of her with Crazy Sam on Video Music Box in New York City, discussing the serious social issues of the inner-city. This gives you a good picture of how smart and passionate the woman is (from when she was young and fresh on the scene). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4it9RUXsA4 You might appreciate this video recorded in NYC on an independent music television show called Video Music Box. A bunch of NYC-based hip-hop artists (Lauryn Hill, Method Man, Jeru the Damaja, etc) got together to talk about police brutality in their neighborhoods with Crazy Sam. youtube.com/watch?v=tJEM8sIS0uc It's inspiring to see such talented artists with real compassion and concern for what was going on in the community.
