This is why she sweep the Grammy’s with 8 this album was a masterpiece

Now you understand why our generation isn’t impressed with people like Sexy Red??

TELL HIM always does something to me! such a beautiful songgg

Lauryn hands down is one of the best rappers period to do it. Male or female. The singing was always the cherry on top. Bar none she deserved to be on top. She elevated the game in her era, that's why this album received so much critical acclaim and commercial success when it dropped. It still holds up as a timeless classic. Real Hip Hop. Fun fact, Lauryn was attending the Ivy league school Columbia University but the Fugees blew up with their album "The Score" so she left school to be a rap star.

This album saved my life and my daughter’s life who is now 25. Her name is Zion!!

This album is food for the soul. This was Miss Hill's much anticipated solo album, after her success with The Fugees. So glad new generation is enjoying. Please check out the album FUGEES - THE SCORE to get the full scope of Lauryn Hill and her NYC 90s rap roots

I’m telling my age but this dropped when I was in high school and when I say everyone was listening to this EVERYONE was listening to this. It’s a masterpiece! So glad you guys discovered this 😊

Oh yall reacting to the CLASSICS classics 😂🔥

Lauryn Hill been rapping for decades and she sings like the queen that she is ❤❤❤❤

90s kid here. You all reacting to this album made me finally subscribe. Lauryn is my all time favorite artist and this album never gets old. I still have it on rotation 26 years later and now play it for my kids.

I think the most dope thing about the interludes is that those were black teens of the 90s…. It’s sort of like a time capsule…. hearing how some young people spoke and thought back then.

I love when folks under 25yro listen to music millennials grew up on. Ya'll are understanding what we mean when we say entertainers of this generation are not making cohesive albums, a lot aren't talented and the bars just don't bar like they used to. All ya gotta do is compare albums. Miseducation of Lauryn Hill deserves all the flowers!!!

Man Glad yall expanding what your listening to .. This Album is NON-DEBATABLE CLASSIC.

No one hates this album. We still listen to it. Technically, her 2nd album was an Unplugged album.

Classic. Masterpiece. Important. Critical. Urgent. Necessary. Timeless. All of the things. Lauryn *our* poet laureate, our DaVinci ❤️ They can NEVER make me hate you ✨✨

Lauren is a beast with that voice I think she won 8 Grammy’s for this album.

She definitely graduated. Fun Fact: Lauryn and the others in Sister Act 2 were going to miss their graduation so Whoopi Goldberg held one for them after the movie was filmed. My overall interpretation of the word "miseducation" is her simply using the theme of the classroom and school to showcase that what she is singing/rapping in her songs is what they don't teach you in the education system. It's a system of life tools.

Funfact, 85%-90% of the album was written and recorded in Jamaica (at Tuff Gong Studio). Which is Bob Marley studio and those instruments that WENT IN? Baby those were played LIVE. Miss Lauryn Hill placed special care into the album, that's why it is timeless, that's why it is a classic and THE album of the century.

Lauryn wrote and produced a song for Aretha Franklin. It's called "A Rose is Still A Rose"

"The Miseducation" is pulled from a work of WEB DuBois (I think) but the essay is called "The Miseduction of the Negro" I think she was sying that she is not UNeducated, but she was taught the things that the world thought was important to teach her but she wasnt taught the things she felt SHE needed. Like she missed the class on love, for example.

Listening to this you should understand why this generation of rappers are “hated on” by the generation that preceded them.

Lauren was talking to Wyclef and Mary J was talking to K.C. from Jodeci FYI😊

My first concert ever was the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Tour in 98 at Madison Square Garden. Outkast opened up for her.

This album is a masterclass in how to mix genres. Lauryn used gospel, soul, r&b, hip hop, and reggae and made a for it all to go together.

She's everything - you have to react to The Score by the Fugees - it's a monumental record as well and her bars are so sick.

I honestly believe that once R&B albums stopped with instrumentation that’s when it started to plummet

Tears in my eyes like a Lil bih while u play zion... my moms played this so much growing up cuz I was her first born and she had me extremely young lol

36:37 This album was very popular when it came out. By this time, she had a platinum album as a member of Fugess and she co-starred with Whoopi in Sister Act 2.

Absolutely one of the greatest rap albums ever.Ms. Hill is a force to be reckoned with to this day. Love y'all reaction.😂

Lauryn is a greaaaaaat rapper y’all. You need to listen to the Fugees album. She’s an OG!

WAIT!! Y’all did Miseducation?! Lauryn is in my top 3 all time! It was such a pleasure seeing someone experience this album for the first time. I am so glad you enjoyed it and appreciate what a classic this is. ❤

A lot of the album is about Wyclef Jean. The Dissect podcast has a great season breaking down each song on this album. A legendary classic. Great reaction!

It was cool to see y’all react to the entire album for the first time. Brings back memories!

I'm here early for Lauren bro😭 love yall fr 💜

It is pure joy and happiness watching you guys find this music🙂

This is the blue print for your Doja Cat!! Sexy Red. Ice Spice. Could never!!! Lauryn Hill set the bar so high all the others can only dangle from it !!!

Can Y’all listen to some of the old neo soul albums also? Like Musiq Soulchild, Maxwell, D’angelo etc. I feel like that would be amazing

I was 12 when this album came out and when I tell you at the time I didn't fully understand how deep this was

When this album dropped it was the most talked about & played album. We were anxious to hear what she would bring as a solo artiste. Especially knowing she can sing sing from watching Sister Act. I'm not sure about the timeline but When it hurts so bad & I used to love him could be about her ex Rohan Marley I'm so happy through her son's song being a viral hit Gen Z are being introduced to the masterpiece that this album is I was thinking I love the way you guys feel music (from the nasty face, to the get up & move y'all hear music with your entire body the way it should be)& you mentioned how people could listen to a song & you can tell they don't feel the lyrics The best part of the reaction was when you mentioned y'all journey with God. It's refreshing to see young men comfortable & unashamed to be vocal about their relationship with God, keep it up cuz you never know who you may help to find their way back to him. As a child Doo Wop, Everything is Everything, Zion, Nothing even matters, & X factor were my favs when I got older I watched her live show (y'all need to watch that) & heard the other songs, back then only singles were popular & unless you buy the album some great songs go basically unheard of. When it hurts so bad & I used to love him helped me through an abusive relationship & it's ironic that this album that came out when I was a child was still relatable & monumental as an adult. That's what you call good music.

I was living in north Jersey when this album came out. I used to listen to it on the way into NYC every morning on the Path train - I couldn't get enough of the vibes and just her absolute musical genius. It's pretty much my favorite album of all time.

Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a play off the book Miseducation of the Negro,by Carter G Woodson

The Score!! The Fugeessssss

This album was everything to me! I was pregnant with my first child and in the industry and folks were mad that I had the audacity to get pregnant and keep the baby(I was messing up their money) so, Zion was on point for me. Zion and my daughter are the same age(two of her younger kids ran track with my kids and she came to practices but not meets where people would recognize her of course.

She has more albums…Check out her Unplugged Album. She also has a Nina Simone Tribute album

She may be late to perform but... this voice is worth hearing

I LOVEEE Ms. Hill if you can believe it my nephew and her grandson are adorable little friend's she's very down to earth as well .. I nearly fainted chile when I pulled up to a kids party and she appeared out of no where 😂😂 #JerseyGyal #Classics #StayWoke 🇹🇹💜🇯🇲

Forgive Them Father features the great Shelly Thunder who is a Jamaican DJ (the Jamaican equivalent of a rap MC). It’s Shelly who is doing the Jamaican “rapping” on the song. There are a number of Jamaican musical references on this album, which is why, back in the day, people would refer to Lauryn as “West Indian adjacent” 😂 with her having been a member of the Fugees and frequenting Jamaica (I am hoping she’ll be onstage with YG at Sumfest next week 🙏🏾

You should listen to "The Sweetest Thing." It's on the Fugees album. *Chef's kiss* Perfect! 🎵

This album is quite simply a masterpiece 🤌🏾

🔥🔥🔥🔥MARY J. BLIGE "WHAT'S THE 411" ALBUM🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

the significance of the title of the album and the classroom I terludes was Lauryn hill missed class the day they talked about love!!!

Rap ? U didn’t know ?? This is the Queen of rap lol but she’s versatile fosho 💯🔥🔥

Thank you for this! 👏🏽🙌🏽 I was 18 when this album came out and I ran to the store to get the CD. Memorized every song within the week. I had connection with almost every song . Again so happy y’all listened to this album! 😊

I'm not religious or faithfull, not before, nor after this album, but I loved ad still love this album, and it did educated me being a teenager when it came out, an devén more later in life. You can believe in what ever makes you feel good, but if you don't live accordingly... What's the meaning of it?

She was talking about Wyclef as this album was released after The Fugees split up

Ya'll should listen to her mtv unplugged. A lot of people dislike it but I personally love it sos much 😭 😭 listen to it in your own time or react but you've got to hear it.

The track titled “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard….

Love this! Hope you guys actually paid for the album so we can support her! Yall need to listen to “The Score” by the Fugees if you wanna hear her spit spit! 🔥🔥

“She was not playing” 😂😂😂 FACTS

Since y'all didn’t know Lauryn rapped, listen to the Fugees "The Score." It came out in 1996. In "Final Hour" she even mentions "collecting residuals from off The Score." Check out that album.

If you would like more albums in this style of music I would recommend: Brown Sugar - D’Angelo Voodoo - D’Angelo Black Messiah - D’Angelo Mahogany Soul - Angie Stone Erykah Badu - Mama’s Gun 1st Born Second - Bilal Jill Scott - Who is Jill Scott?: Words and Sounds Volume 1 Musiq Soulchild -Aijuswanaseing Musiq Soulchild - Juslisen

If u want to hear more of Lauryn rapping U NEED TO LISTEN THE SCORE BY THE FUGEES. she is so unreal.

no no no this Album was definitely talked about and still talked about! Lauryn is still that girl and just to know her story and how she now has to sing her songs differently and she still finds a way to blow our minds with her emotion and lyrical cadence is crazy!! she is your favorite rappers rapper and favorite singers singer!! Bey shouted her name in the Break my soul remix, kehlani has Lauryn’s face tatted on her arm! She will forever be CLASSIC! The reason I rewatch Sister Act 2 over and over

honestly i only listened to the mainstream songs on this album and im glad yall did an entire reaction so i could join, i definitely cried and related to some of things yall said- personally the spiritual journey. love yall 🫶🏼

This was a phenomenal album

That's why she's Nicki's Idol ❤🎉🎉

Great reaction! I was 8 when this came out & have vivid memories of listening to it on repeat. I knew it was fire then but prolly didnt fully appreciate how nourishing it was to my young mind at the time. As an adult Ive only listened to it a couple times (always the whole album, no skips), but seeing yall react made me love it even more! For example, I more thought of her as an amazing lyricists & hadnt fully appreciated how she's an amazing vocalist, esp that note at the end of Zion, even tho Ive heard it before 🤦🏾😂

To Zion will always hit when that beat drops, song still gets me to this day, such a beautiful track.

Lauryn wipes down any female rapper - D-O-A!!! Not one female emcee has had an impactful release like this one. They may have the streams but they don't have a classic. Lauryn is a rapper - who sings. Next up is Fugees "Fu-Gee-La" which was before this album. NOTE: Remember we were in the throws of Neo Soul so Hip Hop was infused into that, as well. Lyricism and musicianship was key. Review Mama's Gun, Urban Hang Suite, and Who Is Jill Scott. Listen to The Roots, Things Fall Apart and then listen to Common's Like Water For Chocolate.

When yall started talking about your walk with God, I liked yall even more! God bless!

Now this going to be my last comment because I don’t want it to look like I’m trying to spam the comments😂 but now that I finished the reaction. Thank you for reacting to this album. I myself had listened to it years ago but I forgot how great some of the songs were. Watching yall was like being able to listen to the album again for the first time.

So happy y’all catching dem bars!!!!

So excited for this ❤❤❤

You should hear her song the Mystery of Iniquity from mtv unplugged. She was a law major at Columbia before she dropped out. The entire song is about the experience of being black and iniquity/inequality but using mostly legal terms. She sings the chorus and raps the rest of the song while also playing guitar. All live. It’s mind blowing. It was sampled in Kanye’s All falls down.

This album never gets old. Wow what a time when this dropped. ❤ the Summer right before Freshman year at UCLA

Seeing u guys react to this is eveything 🔥🔥🔥

She leaves you in awe, speechless and in love.❤️

So beautiful to see you experiencing what we felt 25 years ago!

Jill Scott next!!

The album is a play on the book "the miseducation of the negro"

Yall gotta check out kehlani’s new album “Crash” you’re not ready for how freaky and nasty she was talking on it 😭

India Arie Voyage to India one day? 🤞🏽🥹🤞🏽

I was pregnant with my 1st child, a son I named Jackson, in 1998. I played this album front to back on repeat and used to sing “now the joy in my world is in Jackson” - literally brought tears to my eyes watching u guys hear Zion 🩷

5:08 This is one of two diss tracks on this album. Both were aimed at Wyclef

You gotta react to the Fugees The Score album.

My favourite album of all time and I doubt it's gonna change😭😭

"Tell Him" is my favorite song of all time. I have the first two lines tatted on me. My first of many song/album related tattoos

Definitely deserved the number one spot. And the relationship things she eas speaking on was mostly about her and wyclef jean. Great reaction as always.

🔥🔥🔥🔥A Classical Masterpiece Of Music. Lauren Hill Is An Outstanding Vocalist.🔥🔥Great Great Reactions Y'all👍🏾💯👍🏾

I love the full album reaction. This was great. Might consider a “rock” album for the poll? Rage Against The Machine’s first album (self titled) also rightfully made its way in the top 100 albums list. Please consider it. Truly a work of art and still relevant today by many standards, and also was one of the pioneers of incorporating both hip hop and rock.

This was actually really good for my soul at the moment. Thanks for reminding me this album was and still is an impeccable, incredible masterpiece. Ps It was an industry ceo/head who realised the message was about to spread globally. Then out of nowhere the rumour spread Ms Hill was racist and dont make music for white people. As usual the man took down the black woman trying to change the world. Look where we are today.... Lauryn is the GOAT! If she wanted to do battle or gangsta rap it's over for everyone! I promise Ms Hill is and forever will be that woman! Girl is too disrespectful ✊🏿🖤

Lauryn is an AMAZING rapper. My favorite verse is rumble in the jungle ft. Wyclef who was in her old group Fugees, A tribe called quest, & Busta Rhymes

This album changed my life ❤

U gotta do illmatic by Nas or DMX, blood of my blood flesh of my flesh

I’m her #1 Fan, she is beautiful inside and out. That album is one of my favorites, love every single song on it. ❤

Loved the reaction. Made me feel like I was hearing the album for the first time all over again. Just so you know, Lauryn has more albums and projects after The MisEducation

I grew up on this album! Growing up and looking back on it it’s so cute thinking my mom really was a girl in her 20’s bumpin this masterpiece and passing it down 💕

So glad you guys picked up the religious aspect of the album ❤️

The one and only Queen 👑. This one album still so relevant today. For me anyway. Thanks for doing this reaction. And I'm so happy you gentlemen listened and appreciate what this woman did for the game
