"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" dropped 25 years ago.
I have always been a fan of Lauryn Hill – from the first time I heard her rap alongside the Fugees, to when she starred in "Sister Act 2." What was so special about Lauryn Hill, was that even though hip-hop has had a history of being dominated by men, she was better than both of the dudes in her group and most of the active artists at that time. And as if the acting and rapping weren't enough, God also blessed her with a beautiful singing voice. Hill covered the classic Roberta Flack song "Killing Me Softly With His Song" on the hit 1996 Fugee's album "The Score," and it was so well received that many people forgot there was an earlier version. (No disrespect to the Queen Roberta Flack.)
