  • 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.

    "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

      Sadly it's because fans don't want to see a pregnant woman leading a band...or they think we don't. Tabloids can't stop with the "fat girl" articles. And then you have to take time off to raise the baby, which throws further doubt into your future. Once you sign to a label they essentially own you.

      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.

      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.

    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.

And Lauryn herself has commended her for it. Just because she likes to express herself more sexually doesn’t make her a “creation of the industry” even her mixtapes back to 2006 she was like that. In order to be a creation of the industry you have to be forced to do what they tell u. Nicki has been blackballed and kept from Grammys because she chooses to go against what the industry tells her. You can look it up.
