In a rare interview where Lauryn Hill (Ms. Hill to the Talib Kweli fans) oddly resembeles Oprah (one of my other great influences in life), she describes how she had no idea "Miseducation", The play on low and high culture coming together would IMPACT the music world as it has.
Ms. Hill saw this work as an opportunity to learn how to trust her individual voice. Miseducation's initial, primary intent was to acknowledge more of an informal "institution" of learning.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE line from the interview, Ms Hill states,
"I think I made a piece of music from a sincere place and I think that sincerity has no choice but to resonate with people,"
I MUST say this: No matter how "crazy" people want to consider Lauryn Hill, she has undoubtedly written one of the MOST INFLUENTIAL albums of all time... And NO ONE can take that from her!
