She Begat This: 20 Years of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Joan Morgan

4.0

Calling all the Lauryn Hill fans!! You will love this ode and tribute to a very talented woman. This is essentially an anthropological look at the role and influence of Ms. Lauryn Hill’s one and only solo studio-produced album, the impact it made on the culture of hip hop, and the path it carved for black women. There are explanations of the meanings and history behind the songs and what was happening in the music scene at that time. My only complaint was that I wanted it to be longer and to have pictures! Ok, I’m going to rewatch Sister Act 2 right now!
