One of my top 5 favorite hip-hop albums. I never get tired of listening. Lauryn hill is an extraordinary artist - she can sing, rap and write. It's a shame we don't see more of her work out there today - we can use some...

This record really grabbed me at first until about the last four tracks and Then it started to annoy me. I was bathing in each track and after a bit I wondered where did those tracks actually go? I listened to it again and I think that it is a bit too long and that most of the songs are just fragments that Just groove along. But what a groovy experience they are. Lyrically she is fantastic Production and singing are excellent. Her chops as an MC are unarguable.Lauren has got soul too. A very enjoyable listen with nice contrapuntal and polyrhythmic backings. Superbly balanced with every piece adding its part in just the right places Wonderful fusing of genres as well. My only quibble is that many of the songs just don’t have much structural weight as compositions and rely on her incredible voice and melismatic ornaments to carry it off. If the songwriting was a notch higher across the board in It’s melodic compositional quality, this could have one of the greatest records of all time. Up there with Kind of Blue or Rubber Soul.As it stands now, it is great achievement and super creative but falls a tad short of being a masterpiece.Just a tad-barely. I can only imagine that if She Had worked all of the songs and given them more direction and shape it would be a monolithic achievement. Perhaps, the other aspects of the record could not have been possible without the loose sketch though that each of the tunes are. She does live in those sketches though -pouring her heart out in those continuously evolving ornaments.The skits are an unnecessary distraction although I get the point. That thing is just awesome as is Zion as well as lost ones.

Lauryn Hill is truly an inspiration to me. She touches me in the very deepest of my heart in this album. I especially love Ex-Factor, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Every Ghetto, Every City, and the title of the album, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill. I remember the first time I discovered Lauryn Hill. My mom rented the video, Sister Act 2 and I was already a fan by then. I was only five at that time. I hope she will produce many more albums like this and may she stay successful forever in all her entertainment business career!
This CD is magical, the lyrics are deep. I've been a Lauryn Hill fan from the way back days of the Fugees and she's simply AWESOME. It's no surprise she nabbed 5 Grammys from this album, her first solo. This represents what good music should be, just buy it and listen to it's magic!!! To say the truth, this album deserves 10 stars!!! Lauryn, I thank God for your life and inspiration, keep up the good work!!!
Lauryn Hill is a genius and her music is a true reflection of this. Her album is a unique collection of surreal soul, distinguished by unrivalled lyrical craftmanship and surely the predominant reason we have ears. Ex-factor is healer and a killer. Owning this CD is a privilege(how else can you describe that "lauryn feeling"?)
