- Hello to all of my viewers and subscribers. I'm sorry about taking so long to upload this music documentary, but I felt like it was necessary to take time to do it. This music documentary profiles the music career of Ms Lauryn Hill. Lauryn is a singer, rapper, songwriter, actress, and producer. She has had tremendous success in her career as group member of the Fugees and as solo artist. Laruyn's classic album, the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, has made an astounding impact in music and it has solidified her standing as one of the greatest hip hop artist of all time.

I want to say thank you all for the positive feedback! Thank you for consistently supporting my channel, you all are truly the best.
Empressive THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARD WORK 😊❤️
AMAZING work!!!
Empressive great great work!! can you do erykah badu next?
Empressive Can you do Kelis next ?
Excellent documentary ❤
1st album: 12 copies sold
2nd album: 6 million copies sold + 2 Grammys
Never give up on your passion!
6??you MEAN 19!!!
That grl cleaned house like no other
1st album actually sold 19 million copies☺️
Josh Robertson No their talking about Lauryn Hill’s solo music
Josh Robertson Ooooooh. Yeah I just realized that the comment said “12” not “12 million”. Forgive me🙄
Lauryn was too woke for the industry
She's too woke for the *world*
Factz!!!
People aren't ready, but it's people like Lauryn that are helping us get ready.
Nah, she lacked professionality. Watch Todd In The Shadows' video on her MTV Live album if you want to hear the full story.
@@alexisv9387 slander. Shame on you
When you look back at her career you understand lauryn was never crazy... The music industry is clearly a sick place and when you choose peace and want to walk away from it people paint a crazy narrative about you.. I respect people like her, D'Angelo and Dave Chappelle who walked away at the height of their success and understand peace of mind and soul are priceless
Blak Bleach Don’t forget Maxwell
No she actually is bipolar
I wish I could triple like this comment. Peace of mind is priceless fr.
Dave chappelle said it. How the industry is sick
Speak FACTSSSSS 🗣
Let’s give Ms. Lauryn Hill the flowers she deserves while she’s still here. & lets be careful who we call crazy. There’s a whole lot more crazy things than a woman going MIA from the spotlight.
She just signed up for another tour and then bailed immediately. Hope her insurance covers breach of contract.
100%! this women is nina simone genius
With all due respect, a lot of what Lauryn talks about if you listen to her discussions in her MTV Unplugged appearance are very much symptoms of Bipolar Depression, specifically the subset of Bipolar in which someone experiences long stretches of abrupt depression followed by normal levels of functioning. A woman can have Bipolar Disorder and be a strong, talented, smart, creative, wonderful person. We need to stop acting as if having a mental illness would diminish her creative endeavors and artistic accomplishments. When men have a mental illness but produce creative work, such as Kurt Cobain, we celebrate them even knowing they were unwell. Why can't we acknowledge Lauryn's mental illness and celebrate her? Because Kurt was a white man, and Lauryn's a black woman, she doesn't get to be both flawed and gifted? I would ask you to please reexamine your words and open your heart up to the idea she can be both struggling with something and worthy of praise.
@@morganqorishchi8181 -- Are you qualified to diagnose people from a distance -on social media? Leave it up to her medical professionals to do that. Be careful with pathologizing potentially ill people in public spaces. It really does not help.
Girl you did a better job than VH1,MTV & BET
So true. Stuff we've been thinking about. Arists we've been searching for, questions answered. I'm constantly peeping this channel.
Facts!
Yes. I love her documentaries!!!!
She really did 👌🏾
Loud it
Wyclef marries someone else but gets mad when she moves on? Typical
If you move on whit another men they get mad, if you hurts that they like, karma is a bitch.
He was just selfish.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Just goes to show what kind of person he is and make me undoubtedly believe that he told ppl not work with her.
She caused alot of crap for wyclef she was no innocent woman. She lied to him about her child being his & many other serious crap. She went on to do many evil things toward him. She killed her own career
@@allegedlyinterrupted1768 things that probably wouldn't have happened if they had kept in professional in the first place. And had he not been fucking her while married she wouldn't be able to pin a baby on him. 🤷♀️
hear me out, but ryan destiny as lauryn hill in a biopic
I agree
I see it!
They have the same eyes, nose, balloon lip, tone...definitely
heck yea 😫
💯💯💯😊
Clearly Lauryn was the true talent in the "Fuuugeeee" group. When she left them, so did the talent. People are still talking about Lauryn's work to this day. She is true icon with exceptional wisdom and creativity.
They're all very talented but she's got the 'It factor' that's needed to get attention.
I think her and wy were equally great
This woman is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. Black truly is beautiful.
She really is so stunningly naturally gorgeous though !!!
Not like this generic kim k nicki Minaj look you see so often in 2019 !
Yasss she is 😍
I think Janelle Monae is also very beautiful...
@@mariaseidi4764 They remind me of each other
"It only sold 12 copies."
"So nobody bought it."
"Well, 12 people did."
LOL @ 7:26
My face was in literally shock. 🤣🤣
💀I'm literally dying, he spoke it like a true champ😂😂😂
Great job sis Rastafari lives

"BONY & CLYDE" by WONIN8BILLION songwhip.com/song/wonin8billion/bony-and-clyde
Dark skinned black women are beautiful. Just GORGEOUS!
L.hill is a goddess
Duh.
Her voice, her beauty, her lyrics. She is the BOMB!!! Lightning always strikes the tallest trees....keep going Lauren!
I think Pras is such a good friend to Lauryn. He only speaks well of her👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Pelly M | Yeah, he never publicly discredits her, even with the issues they had as a group.
Love Luxe Yup
Bruised ego , and she created a classic album in spite of him. He was salty.
Pelly M very very true.
I'm actually surprised that he speaks so well of her, despite her getting in his plans with the Fugees. He speaks so kindly of her.
Pelly M I think Pras may understand her and value her importance and contributions as an artist to hip hop r&b music. He also may know something we don't about Lauryn and Wyclef's past relationship...but he is Wyclefs cousin so...
the clip of her being booed as a 13 year old is absolutely heart breaking
Right, how can you boo a 13 year old
Ikr but the end is a testament of how not to let people put you down.
Her being booed only channeled her awareness and ignited her musical lyricism. I mean honestly the lady is bad.
And she wasn't doing bad. Just nervous. They didn't give her a chance
@@JBeezyJesusFreak That was the Apollo though. No mercy.
One thing about Empressive is that she takes her content creation seriously. That's what sets her apart from other channels on CZcams and that's why we'll always support Empressive
I *STILL* think the Unplugged album is a lowkey masterpiece
MASTERPIECE 👌 I cried
Agreeed agreed i still cry to this day when i listen to it, it changed my life
Yes yes yes
HIGHKEY MASTERPIECE ‼️
Very much so
She is a real artist. All those men could not handle her beauty, originality, and independence.
J Pel. Yo; I’m a man; and I’ll say; prime mode; she was deadly; she can put fear in mad elite emcees; and at that time it was predominantly males; still is; in terms of ratio, but women have it easier now and since then. She can spit with the best of them; and l don’t say that with a grain of salt.
But she caved into being a side chick
PERIODTTT
Yep
Black women is the only women who need to be handle other races of women practice self control #WhoRaisedYou
I think being too woke could lead to depression.
Kenya Stewart yes it does
It really does
Yes it can. That's why ppl shouldn't put all of their focus on the " woke" stuff
That’s why I try not to think about it so much
It's just like that movie Taxi Driver
Never knew that Clef did her dirty like that.
You should never discuss someone's real or perceived mental state - it's not your story to tell.
Especially when the media was already calling her crazy , he made it way worse for her by claiming she was crazy and had bipolar. I never liked him after that .
Never liked Wyclef. He’s to lousy
He dead wrong for putting her private business on blast
@@SophieRutter It's so insensitive.
@@Giselle_Glam594 yeah. I couldn't agree more.
The music industry didn't deserve Lauryn, but we were blessed with her
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" is one of the BEST records I've heard in my life. It's spiritual, pure and I feel like it comes from God. Records like that aren't made anymore, all you hear now is artist bragging about their money, who they're sleeping with and how they get high #musicissupposedtoinspire
Killer Queen yes
Killer Queen yes! Very true! Today's rap and hip hop is so disappointing. With artist like Lauren Hill, Whitney, Mariah, TUPAC, Biggie to today's music, I'm just like "what. What happened?!?!"
Thats still my favorite.. im remember buyin the cd back on the day
Facts! I miss those days!
There are still great artists. H ER, daniel caesar, SZA, goldlink, marsha ambrosius, lenae ravyn,the internet, childish gambino, ledisi, jill scott, the foreign exchange, SIR, masego, etc...
You just need to look more closely you'll ding great music.
“You may not be able to touch 1 million lives, but you can light up your own space” - Lauren Hill

*LAURYN / #RESPECT
LAURYN HILL
RIGHT!!! That part touched me & I so concur with her! ❤😍🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤👌👌
When naming people Ms. Lauryn Hill has influenced how could you not mention H.E.R.? The influence is sooooo clear it’s almost like she gave birth to H.E.R.. Definitely a missed opportunity I was waiting for lol. Loved this documentary though. You do such a great job telling their stories! Thank you!
Yess I was thinking about h.e.r during this anytime I would hear lauryn
There's only one L.hill, periodt! Those girls try to imitate but they ain't lauryn
@@Giselle_Glam594 periodttttttt!!!!!
@@Giselle_Glam594 nobody is trying to imitate Lauryn, Calm down.
I don't care how many times her voice broke and it was declared a "disaster"
I don't care if the amount of children she has contributed to her set backs because in life we can't expect to be moving in one straight line. Ms.Hill is still and will forever be one of the most talented and intelligent female artists to ever walk on this planet
Truth 💯
FACTS
She sounded good live in these video clips.
Pras is a great friend. He never talked about Lauryn Hill in a negative way and still highly respects her. 💪
Maquita Thomas He knows the truth. 👌💜
Michael knew...them vibrations. She didn't but he knew
Y why would you be a bitch nigga ..if you not a bitch nigga ?? Fuck off
Yeah not like Wyclef did
Pras has his own demons to conquer. I believe he is still doing time in jail.
in her mid 20s she talked like someone with a century worth of wisdom
1000 u wouldn’t believe that woman was in her 20s definitely a blessing to us all, that’s why she’s still loved til this day
Alot of ppl do
Then she lost her mind over a damn man smh
@@jaedavis6833 Not just any man. A Marley. They are known for this.
Yes, where did she get that enlightenment from though??
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" must have been Divinely inspired just like Marvin Gaye's album "What's Going On?" Both musical masterpieces for two tumultuous and unique era's.
Yes!
I started tearing up when other celebs sampled her songs. Even the beef with Drake, they still performed and he looks so happy honored. Ms. Lauryn Hill is amazing!
Girl me too!!!!! I literally am finished and going thru the comments to see who cried 😂 she's so beautiful inside and out
Same
The Nicky manaj part 😭😭😭bowing in Africa is a HUGE sign of respect... Love the fact that the artists give props dispite the media saying she was crazy.. The brain washing is real. I apreciate platform like this that tell the WHOLE truth
@mary-ann mahlangu exactly!! In life we all have to do our own research
Glad to see I was not the one who teared up!
Lauryn was naturally pretty.
Eccentricka1 right, that's all I was saying like oh she looked really pretty right here and there.
Edit: and nowadays they wanna say colorist exist in the industry that's why we don't see or have any dark tone female artist out. Not deny it but they most forgot about Lauryn hill. It's no telling what and how far she would've came if she don't decided not to continue. But I think they talking about how things is nowadays in the industry. Because back then is was so many dark skin and brow skin successful artist.
is
Seyi Ajayi right, you can't deny REAL RAW TALENT PERIOD!!! That's what I'm trying get people to see now. But they wanna blame everything on the industry colorism. It exists and true colorism in the music business. But you can pull through if the talent is real raw and the music match and people SUPPORT IT. Artist nowadays simply ain't as talent like the people back than. And lack originality BAD.
She still is
She looks the same. Lauryn has aged very gracefully, no skin blemishes...She is still beautiful she just cut her hair. Those other artist often look artificial and we unrecognizable due to plastic surgery, etc. 👍
Lauryn is so perfect idc 😭 she’s naturally beautiful, intelligent, and musically inclined.
Ty Dawkins yes she is!
She's so beautiful and talented 😍😍😥😥❤️❤️❤️
What strikes me about her evolution is that even though the stuff she started singing after miseducation wasn't quite accepted by the masses, it would totally be accepted right now. Its crazy how something can come full circle and obviously she was just way ahead of her time. Big up to you Lauryn. You've always inspired me. Even till this day. Keep doing you.
She was just ahead of her time
I'm sure she woke a ton of people up with her lyrics. And influenced the younger generations. Without her I assume the trajectory of music might be slightly different.
OMG the way that Nicki Minaj bowed down to a real one and said "I'm in love with you" touched my heart that's so dope and every artist out right now sampling something from the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. I love that and love this video.
I like how Pras speaks well of her.
Right! I respect that.
He's a real G 💪🏾
The truth doesn’t require going in the mud…if you’re a FRIEND not associate I’ve mad respect for People like him . Not
Picking at Skelton bones is NOT worth it.
I stay WOKE despite it’s
Repurposed meaning she was/is amazing PBP. ✊🏾✌🏾
Loved this story and very unexpected . We need one on Brandy or Whitney Houston ASAP
TROYCETV would love one on brandy
Troyce in this bih!!
Plz 👌
Troyce we need some more conspiracy theories frfr
Agreed
Lauryn Hill was soooo (and still) BEAUTIFUL 😱❤️..her skin, her features, her voice, her determination, her work, her music. She is basically a QUEEN, and sounds so humble 🤩❤️. #inspiration
I actually cried watching this. The memories, that moment, the world back then. New generations won’t understand the impact of The Fugees and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. You just had to be there.
I could never see Lauryn singing hips dont lie, she didn't want to sell out. The industry loves calling you "crazy" when you don't want to be a cog
Facts!!
It's an awful, awful song
@@tirtunemdouq LOL let's not lie. It's a great song, just not the right fit for Lauryn, and that's okay.
@@elviskiarie1068 from the second I heard it I hated it...sorry, we all have a different taste
Actually, the original song was called Lips don't lie, and I highly doubt the music arrangement was the same as Hips don't lie.
wow i forgot wendy been running her mouth since the 90s
And she was much worse. She is a bit more tame now that she is on Daytime TV.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 marthaxo
marthaxo - that is all she ever did. Did not like her then, do not like her now
😫🤣
@@waterlilly1498 she looks like a man in bad drag
I remembered as a teenager buying The Miseducation of Lauryn album. I bought it in Cassette form back then. One of the best albums I've heard ever.
I had the Miseducation CD when it was first released. It took me about 3 months and I finally popped it into my CD player and listened, re-winded, listened, re-winded and learned EVERY song on that CD 20+ years later, I must admit that I ABSOLUTELY "STILL" LOVE THAT CD, it is the BEST of all time. Ms Lauryn Hill is a true genius! I loved the music so much that my son drew a beautiful likeness of Lauryn for me in 2006, Yes, she is framed and one of my most valued pieces of art that he has ever created. Great story Empressive!
Girl, your channel is literally better than behind the music.
yes far better

@@jessejameslatimer8686 you right much 💝to ya
She didn’t sell her soul to the devil so they created conflict. I have so much respect for her.
She didn't write her music.her music is good but it's not hers
Mad respect
tory Mason she did check the update credits ..matter fact check The Score and all verses compare to her males colleagues . Even Pras confirmed she did wrote her album he was in the studio during that time
Right on suga! You hit it right on the head! That sounds like a good topic for a novel!
HEAVENLY FATHER, JEHOVAH GODS SEED...🌺
I was 18 when miseducated of Lauryn Hill came out. 22 years later and it is still in my playlist. Just a wonderfully made album that is on genius level. Lauryn had so much exposure back then as beautiful and multi talented.
"Art does its thing - here you go commerce. But now commerce wants to control art, which it ceases to be art anymore."
The music industry did her so wrong, emotionally, mentally. Such a beautiful, inspirational soul. I hope she gets the peace and freedom of being completely herself that she deserves
Wow 52 minutes. You really put a lot into these documentaries. I love them. Lauryn is a legend in my eyes
monique__91 she is most definitely a legend
LH was so worth it,
Yes, she definitely is. ❤️
She a legend period. I believe she was the best female hiphop artist period. No imo has topped miseducation
Yes! I really hope @empressive continues with these documentaries and I pray she continues to grow and have an even bigger platform. Her delivery is amazing and you can tell she takes the time to do her research ! I’ve unfollowed so many bloggers who put out false information for views & likes. I love this channel! ❤️
Miseducation was a masterpiece 😭😭🙏🙏
True but when will she start releasing much more matieral? Her overall catalog is pretty small.
Facts!!
Point blank period
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" album IS still a Masterpiece 😏❤👑🍫🎼🖋🎤💯😌✊.
"BONY & CLYDE" by WONIN8BILLION songwhip.com/song/wonin8billion/bony-and-clyde
Her MTV Unplugged album is just as great as her first. The problem is that it wasn’t received but go take a listen Lauryn was/is on another level. And as she said when you asked to be used by God you have to be fully used and that sometimes comes with humility. Her Freedom Time song explains a lot. And as she says let them with ears to hear understand. 30 years from now her last interview in 2000 will be relevant then. Some just don’t get it.
I LOVE that album!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Doo Wap(That Thing) was my signature song. I played it on a daily. I was so very happy to have been apart of your era, and all the accolades for just one CD You are an Educational Genius My Sister. I love you dearly!!!
Wyclef is dirty for what he did. She still prevailed and made a classic.
Sweet Revenge.
Preach Bianca!!!!
Seeing Drake smile like a kid in a candy store watching her perform shows how much of a impact she was on the generations after her
LOVE the fact that Ms.Lauryn wasn't afraid to include God within her music for her infamous Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Album. There's great reward for people who use their platforms to give praises to his name. If more artist did this, music would have so much more content value. Whatever talents that you have use them to praise and seek GOD now. NOT later or tomorrow...NOW. GOD BLESS whoever reads this and applies it.
Why is the album infamous? It’s timeless!
@@azuben413 infamous means well-known & legendary.
This woman is so damn gorgeous and talented. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill came out and I will never forget that Summer.
Me either!! It changed my life! 💯💯
Me either!!!
Pretty ILL girl a hot happy one for me
So true!!!!😘👍🙏
Killing me softly my fav
Lauryn was way before her time. So wellspoken, at such a young age.
She's still "way before her time" even today.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill was like listening to a symphony. Nothing was out of place. Everything was perfect. as an artist, she definitely changed my life In a perspective as a young woman in this industry. Thank you, Ms. Lauryn Hill.
Lauryn is such a beautiful spirit. I think people forget how young she was at the height of her success. I believe she was around 24/25. At that age I didn't know wth I was doing with my life, still don't but Lauryn was working hard to produce genuine music from her soul that empowered people to be their-selves without falling to the temptation of the music industry. Love her forever!!!
She was 23 at the height of her career, and she was already well versed musically by then
She has a mind of her own,we miss her.
Hate the music industry.
She Didnt sell out.
Thankyou Miss Hill.
She still doing music....
chris georgallis she had an affair with Wyclef she ruined her own career! She should have never done that to another woman!
@@reinaguzman9030 & he wasn't the one pursuing her and the one CHEATING ON HIS WIFE?! Y'all are fucking dumb. So she gets punished for this but he doesn't?! Y'all are GARBAGE.
@@reinaguzman9030 she had him first, he cheated by getting married on her! That happens to women often, shame on your comment! It's hard to let go when you already are involve, even when your man,do what he had done!!!!
Martha Johnson she has will power everyone does! she should have said no, gotten out of the group and moved to another state just to stay away him! When someone you care about marries someone else leave them alone for good! Don’t hurt their spouse in that way. Have you thought about the wife and how she feels? no because you’re selfish!
Had no idea she achieved all that at just 23. Amazing documentary
I love her. Lauren Hill is so multitalented. She should've played Nina Simone instead of Zoe Saldana. No shade to Zoe, she's one of my faves as well but Lauren would have done justice with that role.
Hell yea
Shade to Zoe. That was disrespectful of her to play Nina.
Lauryn is too pretty to play Nina, but they do have similar skin tones
I just hope to one day meet her in my lifetime. I’ve only seen her perform.. but I want to cry in her presence, tell her how her words carried me, protected me... how her voice healed me and how God really used her as a vessel in my life. I probably won’t be able to say all of that beyond my tears, but I’ll definitely come back here for reference so she can read it or perhaps carry a sign stating all of this 😭😭😭 #MSLAURYNHILLSTANFOREVER
Can you imagine if Lauryn and Tupac made a duet? It would have been deep af.
People would've drowned lol
Ms.Bubs4fun wow that wuld be crazy ( Gemini )
thats to powerful that is why it never happened, that track would of set the tone for music forever😂😂😂😂😂 I absolutely love the thought tho👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They would’ve had to squash beef first. It’s not widely spoken, but Pac had beef with The Fugees.
When we ride on our enemies was a response to Cowboys.
Yes!!!!
She recently lit up the stage in Johannesburg 2 weeks ago. It was straight fire!!! She had Nas on there too. I died and rose again like a Phoenix
you are sooo lucky!! wow Johannesburg!
My fellow NJ sister . I was lucky enough to attend one of her cookouts
Was she late?
You’re lucky 😩🙌🏽
Lauryn Hill is an icon. She and Nas are my favorite lyricists. She's a masterful artist and has always been ahead of her time.
Lauryn choose mental happiness over fame and money and as long as she’s at peace I’m happy. Her album still sounds so fresh as if came out today (2022). We need our heroes like her.
I will never forget Laryn saying "This is who I am and all of us have the right to be who we are and whenever we submit our will to someone else's opinion, a part of us dies." (Interlude 1 in 2.0 album)
I literally have to say this to myself at least once a day. God bless her
I learned a lot from this but I really learned how loyal Pras was to somewhat protecting her name. He always spoke highly of her even in disagreements.
The SundrippedGoddess man i see it too family...think that marley dude help her made alot of mistakes
I think Pras was in love with her.
Very true
He loved her in a real way!
I feel like she went through so much with Rohan😔
Rohan & wyclef
This documentary was Exceptional! I learned a lot about Ms. Hill that i didn't know before. Salute to you, Lauren and my fellow Visionaries and Seers! 🦋🌹
If I met Lauren I think I would break down in tears, she helped me love myself my 8th grade and freshman year of high, now I’m a senior
🤗🤗
I never knew she was booed at the Apollo ✊🏾😍but she never gave up!!
Same sis ! 😊
I think y’all should learn how to spell the Queen’s name first.. it’s “LAURYN” not Lauren ✨🌻
Lol we must be the same age...😂
Sadly we seldom see dark skinned women in music this huge anymore. I want another Lauryn Hill please Jesus.
true
Love Yourself ikr
Love Yourself GOSH YES
She was the definition of dark and lovely 😊
Lacedra Minor sza
I remember seeing her in the train and she was looking at me like girl u better not blow my cover lol needless to say I didn't get my autograph that day, this was before smart phones 😢
Wyclef "seems" to me that guy that persues and persues and persues you to no avail and then FINALLY 😩😩 you give him a chance and end up wishing you would have never changed your mind ✌🏽
Lauryn was ahead of her time at such a young age and because her of deep level of consciousness and her devotion to God she was not always well received. She will alway be a gift and inspiration to us ♥
I do believe she got caught up in the wrong spiritual movement. Not many of the entertainers follow Jesus.
@Terran Carr Yh but she had other spiritual advisors which were damaging to her mental health
This may be true but her unprofessionalism habit of tardiness to concerts and her deal with Brother Anthony caused trouble for her
I still blast the entire Miseducation of Lauryn Hill as one of my most all favorite albums of '98! It's been 20 years since its release! I miss those days! 😍🎤🎧🎼🎵🎶
Its a timeless classic
BLETransit Network TM Iam So blessed to have been a teenager in the 90s.
2
cant believe its been 20yrs!
BLETransit Network TM Me too! The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is still my favourite album of all time!
In tears by time this was over. The best artists are oftentimes the most emotionally vulnerable and unique people. We should protect them, and not dissect them, or try to control and place chains on their gifts. She is truly a genius.🥺
I love her, love her relationship with God, I just love it 🙌🏾
Don't forget, she was also the first hip hop artist to win album of the year, even beating Outkast to the punch
Gnarwhal and even with her first album right?
Lauryn is EVERYTHING! She didn't sell her soul and they crushed her for it. She is a QUEEN 👑💎👑. An eccentric queen 😉
Duduzile Chinyenze amen!👍❤
Duduzile Chinyenze Who crushed her? You can never crush greatness.
She did,,, wake up!
Period
I’ll never forget watching Sister Act 2:Back in The Habit 28 years ago and getting goosebumps from Lauryn Hill singing Eye on The Sparrow . I knew from that moment on she was going to be one of the most iconic artists that ever lived . And then miseducation comes out 4 years later!!!! U couldn’t go anywhere without hearing a song off that album. Say what u want about this woman but we will NEVER get another artist like her in this lifetime!!! 1 of 1!
Queen. You did an amazing job with this. As woman who was/is a personal manager in the game especially for black female artists (not a plug) I watch her process and progress carefully. Praying for, understanding her applauding her and crying for. You did such and honoring beautiful and thorough job with this production. I am in tears and so proud of you and your work. Peace and blessings.
Lauren Hill was the ultimate black woman's image! We need her now more than ever!
🏆🏆🏆🏆
why ? What's wrong with black women now?
Hyro Proto because we have no positive images of our women in the media - City Girls?
Hyro Proto can’t believe you need to ask that question 🤷🏽♀️. Have you seen the ‘popular’ images of black women today KMT
Agreed
Say what you want about Ms. Lauryn Hill, but she’s the truth and I consider her the epitome of an Artist just like Pras said. She’s Morally, Spiritually, Vocally, and Lyrically dope. Awesome job on this, and putting respect on this Woman’s name and legacy thus far.
IKR? Pras is cool. She should've been with him if she had to get involved with someone in her group. Wyclef came off as an ass in my opinion when he said she needed help like insinuating she has mental issues. Pras defended her. Kudos to him for that.
Kilo Zen
I really enjoyed the documentary because it showed another determined, and persistent black woman through obstacles and heart break but never crumbled or gave up, I am so much a fan of her and her music.
I absolutely love Lauryn Hill!!!! The album is still my favorite. The only one that I know word for word. She’s so intelligent, beautiful, and soulful.
I love how Pras, speaks so positive of Lauren. It's crazy how Wyclef speaks of her "mental health " but was cheating on his wife with Lauren for years. Now he speaks bad of her.
@Julia Mimi Lauryn is very sane.smh Shes the smartest female rapper alive.lol
Ms. Oyeogbe that's what men do when they can't control you
@Ms. Oyeogbe Exactly sista. My man calls me bipolar when he makes me mad at him! He stalks me though.😂They love to call women crazy when they piss u off.smh Or even when you think outside of the box. Now Kanye West is crazy, lets focus on the real nutjobs.lol
Ms Bronze Goddess being smart and having mental health issues are in no way exclusive
Velvet Rose I always thought wyclef was a cornball.
She clearly said that the Miseducation album came as a result of life experiences. So, to create something else just as good, in her mind, she would have had to go through several more experiences. That makes sense.
Yep, and they didn’t understand it. They wanted her to pull something out of thin air, basically make non-authentic music to make them money. Smh.
Gosh I miss her and that era. When music made u feel. Such depth, intelligence, consciousness, and talent. And to boot, stunningly beautiful. Truly one of a kind.
She is such a queen and a legend. And an inspiration and blessing to the to the world. Thank you for being a positive example and for standing in truth and Authenticity even when the world was against you. She is the true epitome of strength and resilience. Love you Ms Lauryn Hill ❤👑✨ This story has inspired me in so many ways. Thank you Empressive for creating this wonderful and informative video. May everyone stay safe during quarantine and remember that this too shall pass. Much love everyone❤
"The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" helped me through the aftermath of hurricane George back in '98, it had just been released and I literally managed to get a copy of the cd and put it on tape just hours before the hurricane was about to hit 🇵🇷, so I could play it on my Walkman since I was going to be without power for a long time, it helped keep me sane
❤❤❤

Love how Praz stay 10 toes down for Lauryn, regardless..Period.!
Praas is very respectful!
Facts good dude...
he's very close friends with Lauryn Hill
Lauren Hill is my favorite Hip Hop Artist 🎭 she is my inspiration 🏆. When I tell you no one can match her talent could never be duplicated. This is the ideal artist they silenced her truth 🤐her gift 🎁 her voice 🤫 and and her ability to reach the masses✍️. Enough SAID authentic real soulful soul sounding Angelica 😇
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! There are no adjectives expressive enough to describe how thankful I am for the work you put into this. Sending appreciation and love 💫
One of the GREATEST to ever do it. Very few had the ability to SING (SANG) and RAP at equal levels, and in the equal levels, not average, but astronomically amazing. She couldn't just rap as in rhyming lyrics, she was a true lyricist. She painted murals with her lyrical gift, telling stories and spreading empowering messages to live by. Furthermore, one of the few to be a true triple threat to SANG, RAP, and ACT on the same astronomically amazing level.
Then, she had one of the best albums of ALL time, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" (establishing her as one of the best vocalist and lyricist of all time), critically acclaimed as the treasured Golden Buddha, selling so well that she literally didn't and doesn't have to release another album, with that album alone sealing her legacy for eternity.

Lauryn has such a genuine and beautiful soul. She wasn’t selling out for NOBODY. Respect!
❤💪🏾
Go get our money back because there's no law that states that you have to pay taxes or file taxes it's all voluntary tell them to show you a law that says that you are required by law to pay taxes let alone file taxes. There is no law.
Respect 🙏
Gemini's naturally deal with mode swings. They are the twin personality of the zodiac. Thats the battle/energies that they have to deal and conquer in this life.
Thank you for sharing her story. I've wondered about her so much, I still listen to her Miseducation album. Ms Lauren Hill is definitely a master at her craft and a true legend.
Damn MJ even loved her!!! She is blessed!!! I’m so annoyed how society thinks when a woman has a child her life is over!?!? She was too ahead of the game though. She is so smart and articulate in her early 20’s!!!! She wasn’t a sell out! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yep I remember reading an article where it said that he wanted to collab with her for the album he was working on at the time, which was Invincible. Unfortunately it didn't happen.
Yes! What amazes me was that she was only 23--she even acknowledged that she was a "baby" which was true but the WISDOM in someone so young astonishes me and inspired me at 20 years old back when "Miseducation" came out. I bumped that cassette DAILY. I can't believe people were judging her for having babies. So what! As long as she is a good mother and takes care of her kids it's no one's business how many she has--married or not. She is an incredible artist. They judged Erykah Badu for the same thing also.
Kristine Ilochi AGREED 💗🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
MJ always had an eye for great black talent.

Awesome soul....
I still miss him..😓🙁
They were mad because she was too woke
Yes you are so right her enlightenment was much higher than most
"Woke" 😂... You sound like a really white and old man from the 60s.

Joey dash bottom line!👊🏾✊🏾
It took them long enough but they got her. Once she was arrested and locked up that was it. (mk ultra) that's why she acted like she was crazy.
You're married, but upset that she moved on with someone else and had a baby... These men are really too much 🙄
I grew up listening to Lauryn, she is amazing and as you say a living legend. I loved this documentary and learnt a lot I didn't know before, thank you!
