Description:

The first solo album by the Fugees' most distinctive voice quickly wipes away the pretensions of so many current hip-hoppers' discs. It does so by both engaging their widescreen ethos--"To Zion," with its martial drums and gospel choir, is as epic a production as has been heard in 1998's pop music--and speaking the plain truth. Miseducation focuses equally on Lauryn Hill's life (especially the birth of her child) and social concerns about the present and future. Its often quiet surface, if anything, lends intensity. --Rickey Wright

5Best female rap album by far.  Sep 29, 2009
Great production, great music, incredibly complex lyrics that match the music and flow of the songs (sometimes rivaling Nas' lyrics on Illmatic).

This is by far, still the best hip-hop album created by a woman.

I hope Lauryn really did write and produce most of the songs (just to hope she can replicate this effort later).

But regardless of whether this is mostly solo or a collaborative work, this is a great piece of art.

4A classic!  Aug 09, 2009
Moer than a decade has passed since I got my hands on this CD again for a second later listen. I am still amazed by it. Lauryn Hill is underrated. Wish she would come back and make more material. The song Zion is very touching, and overall what impresses me the most is that Lauryn has her head on straight, as you will see by her lyrics. Great CD.

5You could home school the next generation of R&B singers with this album  Jun 13, 2009
I don't listen to much contemporary R&B. Like country music, I feel that the best stuff was done a long time ago and the majority of it these days is pretty soulless, commercial stuff. Maybe I would feel different if I listened to more of it, but quick surveys of the FM radio dial don't encourage me to do that. However, several years back, I caught the video for "Doo Wop (That Thing)" on TV, and that song grabbed hold of me immediately. I bought the CD, loved it, and all this time later I still love it enough to jot down this 5-star review. There are a couple of unfortunate interludes that sound like Lauryn and her girlfriends chatting with a Dr. Phil clone, but they are mercifully brief.
