She Begat This: 20 Years of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Joan Morgan
This book is extremely not written for me who was 3 when the album was released + doesn't have much of an interest in music production? I had never heard of Lauryn Hill. So take all this w a grain of salt.
I enjoyed it as a peek into a different culture, I guess. It is interesting! Like a magazine article. Certainly I buy into the idea that the deification of certain artists, especially black women, does more harm than good in the long run. And also, I think just? It is no good for everyone to know about an artist at once. No one should be a household name! Subcultures only! But I don't think that's really actionable.
