Today we’re talking about The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, finding the musical influences that weave together so perfectly, getting into how the album was made, talking to a member of her band, and seeing how this album is really a RE-Education, taking something you think you know, and showing you another way.

@joshuatavares2384 10 месяцев назад

I’ve been listening to this since it’s release and the reason I connect with it, it’s in ways a tribute to Stevie Wonders “Songs” and “Innervisions” albums. Also, how can you not feel “ex-factor”? Your partner never lived up to the promises. It’s an emotional, landmark album. The guests are perfect for the album.

RESPECT SIR. Truly appreciate your purist journalistic approach when creating your content. You DO YOUR RESEARCH. You incorporate a depth of history, little known stories and theory. I consider myself somewhat a musical historian. I learn something every time I view one of your videos. Also your breakdowns are ridiculous. From the originals, interpolations, samples, chord structures and melodies. It's education and edutainment. As a working musician and dj. I love the way you incorporate that aspect as well. From changing pitch and tempo to scratching. To recreating and reconstructing tracks. To layering live bass and other instrumentation over tracks. You present the view of a writer, composer, arranger, musician, dj and artist. Your labor is appreciated. So I say once again, RESPECT SIR.

@chloemchll3774 10 месяцев назад

As per usual another awesome video where I learned a lot. This album is still probably my top album from a female MC (and yes, I realize lumping Lauryn in with artists like Eve or Missy Elliot is sort of missing the point as her music is so diverse that calling her an MC feels like it ignores that she’s a damn good singer with soul, r&b, reggae, and even a little pop in her influences) and while I knew a lot of this album was her breakup with Wyclef (most obviously Ex Factor, although I think it influenced several other songs in more subtle ways) and her being pregnant with her first child (To Zion) I had no idea her kid was Bob Marley’s grandson. I feel like part of her decision to pull back from the spotlight was to give her son a chance to grow up and just be a kid and not have to deal with all the stuff that goes along with having a super famous mom who is touring or recording constantly. I don’t have a bigger point here, just really wanted to say that I love that you talked about this absolute monster of an album (along w the Roots Things Fall Apart and Black Star’s debut, probably in my top 3 90s hip hop albums) and gave us a little more of an insider’s look into how the record came to be.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a miracle album. It’s what you’d imagine can be created with enough time and probabilities… it’s a collective of the right people and the right time, which I imagine is particularly special in its own right. As selfish as it sounds, I hope that there is a future where Lauryn can burden herself by pursuing vocal perfection again (see unplugged album) and finding industry experts in their respective disciplines to bring those brilliant sounds. You did a great job deconstructing this album. This was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Every morning on Power 99 the Dj would play "Killing them Softly" by the Fugess, "Renee" by the Lost Boys, "Ain't No Nigga" by Jay-Z and Foxxy, and "If I ruled the world" by Nas! That was the PEAK OF EAST COAST DOMINANCE. This was on mainstream radio! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ERA TO BE ALIVE!

Eight years after it's release, Miseducation of Lauren Hill was a consistent feature in a large portion of my 10th grade English teacher's conversation - she blended it in so many times when she had our attention for more than two minutes, whether one-on-one or not. Nearly twenty years Iater is still pleasing to see the album get all the respectful, even gushing respect it deserves.
