The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

did not listen to this album. Lauryn Hill is a bit of a controversial figure in the rap world so I think I will avoid her for the time being

No llega a explotar nunca, generico

It’s not Hill’s fault, but after yet another commercial anglo-american album, this list is getting rather tedious. Do the people who chose these 1001+ albums realise that there are other countries besides those where English is spoken? She has a good voice. Repetitive backing vocals, with all the "yo yo", "yeah yeah", "ah ah", "ya ya" etc. The cover image has a good idea, but is executed poorly (especially the font used for the title). 1.5 / 5

Gut mit den Fugees, sonst nicht meins

Lauryn Hill is a bad person and an even worse musician. It's not good, and it drags on too long. Apple Music is insane for putting this album as the best of all time, but I shouldn't have expected much because the rest of that list was shit.

I listenen 3 songs i coukdnt more

Couldn’t wait for school to be out. It’s hard to believe The Miseducation was album of the year, musta been one dogshit year in music. Wasn’t good when it dropped, little better now but still not good. Yo, yo, yo, the classroom chatter between songs did not add anything positive to the album. Overall, it’s a miss. L = (1.5*s) Unh, unh, unh… J = (1.5*s) Best thing about this album is the cover art and the cover of Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.

Fuck me, just shut the fuck up already. We get it, you messed up your life, now you wanna tell the whole world. No one cares. Just what the world needs, someone to preach at us from their new found wisdom. Merde.

Dogshit

Not for me.

90s rnb

1. intro was cute had a little spin very uniquie i love 2.not what i would usally listen, i lover her voice. head bop song. can barely understand what she i saying, not the fan of the music. 3. not my style of music, her voice is absouluty amazing tho it is very fitting for this genre of music. no smth i would personally listen to. 3.chill laid back. i dont like this genre of music at all im sorry i think i might jst stop here because i know i dont like it and ima fall asleep, ik its not very open minded of me but its only day 2 i will find smth i like here

I tried my best but unfortunately this was not for me. I enjoyed the instrumental but not really my jive.

Not for me

It was awful, she has a pretty voice if she cared to sing rather than that ceaseless whatever it is. It was annoying and irritating. I dont understand how people can say they like it.

I don't care

Long & tedious. I struggled to finish this one, but I will certainly not struggle to completely forget that it even exists by supper time. I want peach cobbler for dessert.

Fuck whoever made this racist account.

I quite like some of The Fugees tracks so was interested to hear this. Hasn’t grabbed me initially though, but only part way through my first play through. That said, I’ve already fast forwarded a couple of tracks so it’s not sounding overly promising… Going into this I really hoped I’d enjoy it, but sadly I haven’t. Whilst it pains me in many ways I’m going to have to give this a lonely 1.

DFL kako bismo rekli, dosta faking loše. Ne mogu taj loš hip hop slušati, jedva dobar mogu poslušati. 1/5, 1/10

Someone who understands the history of hip hop will know why this is a classic album, but it’s not working for me

Yet another album where IT and I have nothing in common. Don’t want to be rude about it so will leave it there. 1/5 27/10/25

Nope.

Not really my thing. I prefer jazz and blues.

Can’t believe how many shit albums are in this list.

When I listened to Lauryn Hill’s album, I found it unbelievably bad. On the first play it got under my skin so much that I almost quit, but I forced myself to listen again. The second time was slightly less awful, maybe because I was distracted. Still, the whole album feels like one long low point. “Superstar” stood out negatively, and the cover of Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You was, in my view, ruined beyond belief. The only track that made me pause was Final Hour, because it has a flute that actually sounds musical. Carlos Santana also plays a short acoustic guitar part, but it gets buried in the rest. I simply can’t connect with this modern version of R&B at all. Sorry.

She is talented. I just never got all the hoopla about this album. Sue me

I was encouraged by the intro track with the school teacher-ish reading of names. Lauryn Hill was missing. Imagine my disappointment when she turned up on the very next track! The tracks are not a screaming horror show as some offerings on 1001, but none were ticking boxes. Its a no from me. NO! About 1 hour 16 minutes too long. No, changed my mind, 1h 17mins too long.

Garbage

Not for me.

Said her name in the songs, check. Talked about how good at rapping she is, check. Skits, check. Lots of "uhs" and "yeahs," check. Guest rappers, check. Bragging about how much money she's going to make as a rapper, check. Talk about sex, check. Although it wasn't in the same context as most rap albums. This checks all the boxes to clarify as a generic rap/hip hop album. Too long for it's own good with nothing that really makes it stand out. The only redeeming quality is she has a decent singing voice when she actually felt like singing. 1.5/5

Nope

Very bland.

Rating: 0.2 I am so tired of this astroturfed vibe curator nonsense, I’ve had enough for the rest of my life. Incredibly grating, dated, borderline challenging. Makes it worse when you know everything that comes out of her mouth is a lie and she mistreats her fans and everyone around her. Enough Lauryn Hill.

I felt nothing but boredom. "Everything is Everything". Genius...

Not for me

This isn’t something that was made for me, nor do I particularly want to hear it again. I understand why it’s critically acclaimed, but my tastes in hip hop do not lead me to come anywhere close to enjoying this album. The flow, timbre, and general vocal style does nothing for me. I’m not at all upset about the instrumentation and production value, musically it’s very good for what it is, but the vocals kill the record for me. It was a slog to get through this and I’m glad it’s over.

Didn’t like it

Да 22к2 и 4*4##

The bits you know of the songs you know are fun...

Not a fan, she's very rude and arrogant. This album is truly overrated. MTV unplugged was hideous. She is horrible live and mails it in.

Ik dacht dat ik na Kendrick R&B en hiphop wel beter kon waarderen, maar dit album viel vies tegen. Veel nummers voor het einde geskipt. Het is ook niet dat ik het slecht vind klinken, maar het doet me gewoon niet zoveel. Leukste nummer: I used to love him

How is this even on here. Really full of ego and ramblings. Got to a minute in of Do Wop and thought life is too short to be listening to this tripe.

Sorry Lauren hill fans got 1 song in can’t do it. Didn’t like her when she came out in the 90s. Will have to give her a 1 star. I love rap love female rappers just not a fan of her.

Honestly this one didn’t do anything for me, nothing at all stood out on it. I normally give every album at least two listens but I have zero desire to give this another go.

Sobrevalorado

Interesting voice...

I don't like this type of music. I don't like Lauryn Hill at all. I and really really didn't like this album.

I didn't dislike it as much as I thought I would, still very much not for me.

Angry biatch

Didn't like it.

Honestly, this album is really nice to the ear, but it feels more like an exploration of samples over someone rapping. Lauryn Hill sings like no other but her music isn't my kinda thing, even a song she had with Carlos Santana (which is one of my favorites musicians) felt underutilized. I expected more, but I guess her music isn't for me at all

Overall, didn't really like it. There were a few cuts like Superstar, Final Hour, and that Frankie Valli cover that I enjoyed but overall the record mostly missed me. I'm just not into R&B and overall, the immense length of the record and the sheer amount of 5+ minute long songs is just a nonstarter for me. The concept is cool and learning about Ms Lauryn Hill's inspirations behind the album helped contextualize it overall but I can't say this is one I'll be excited to revisit outside of a few tracks that appear to be on the less-beloved part of this classic-but-not-for-me record.

No nie porwało mnie niestety. 2/10.

Langdrygt, uinspirerande

Meins ist es nicht

Did not finish... didn't hate it but didn't like it either :[

1. intro - 1 2. lozt - 1.5 3. factor - 1.5 4. zion - 1 5. doo uuop - 2.5 6. zuperztar - 0 7. final - 1.5 8. hurtz - 1.5 9. him - 1 10. father - 1 11. ghetto - 0 12. matterz - 1 13. everything - 0 14. hill - 0

Jaahas. Kai tää on ihan hyvin tehty mutta on kyllä mulle kohtuu mitäänsanomatonta musiikkia

Even someone like me who doesn't like this type of music still can tell that this album is too good and def a game changer but it just not my cup of tea that's why I didn't enjoy it at all so i'll give it 3/10

not my cup of tea

I would rate 0

No

She skipped that day in school when they were teaching how to make good music.

Closing track ("Tell Him") goes really hard, and "Nothing Even Matters" too. I Knew "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" before, great too. Also I like the discussions separate from the songs, a nice touch Still, this rap album isn't as much my thing. There *is* certain rap I really like though, like Speakerboxxx/The Love Below by OutKast (it also has discussions separate from songs, which are done very well there)

I'm interested in giving this one a listen. Ever since I sat through the Fugee's second album I've seen this album everywhere and have heard about how great and influential Lauryn Hill is despite only having three albums to her name. Listened to it and yeah, not a fan. I can understand where this album innovated if Lauryn Hill was one of the first people to popularise the "being shaken" style of singing, but that kind of vocal performance sounds like utter shit to me. It's an impressive display of vocal range and prowess, but I firmly believe that it belongs to the "for record producers only" category. Every song being sung in this style combined with the minimal instrumentals, lack of breathing room and hour seventeen runtime made this album a profoundly miserable listening experience for me. I wasn't compelled to listen to the lyrics too closely, but they all came across as pretty insipid and self-aggrandising to me. Which beckons the question. Why this is considered a concept album? There isn't really an arc to any of the discussed themes, and what is discussed falls vaguely within the realm of self-love or something. The entire experience is fruitless to me.

Typ RnB, verkligen inte min grej.

First Album I’m rating. I’ve resisted listening to it for a long time and now it is time. Every Ghetto, Every City - Adding to my Playlist. Best song on the album. Intro - Not Adding to my Playlist. I don’t think I need to explain anything. Lost Ones - Not Adding to my Playlist. Not really my type of song. One of two songs I listened to before today. Ex-Factor - Adding to my Playlist. It draws on a little too long but I like this more than Lost Ones. To Zion - Not Adding to my Playlist. I didn’t like this song. Doo Wop (That Thing) - Adding to my Playlist. I really like this song. This id the other song I listened to. Superstar - Not Adding to my Playlist. I just don’t like the vocals all that much. Final Hour - Adding to my Playlist. This is a pretty good song. Not much else to say. When It Hurts So Bad - Not Adding to my Playlist. The vocals are kinda annoying. I Used to Love Him - Not Adding to my Playlist. About as good as Lost Ones. Love that opening but it gets worse and worse as the song goes on. Forgive Them Father - Not Adding to my Playlist. Her vocals are a little annoying. Nothing Even Matters - Not Adding to my Playlist. Very long and not in a good way. Everything is Everything - Not Adding to my Playlist. A bit better than Lost Ones. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - Not Adding to my Playlist. It wasn’t that good in ny opinion. Can’t Take My Eyes Off You - Not Adding to my Playlist. The song is barely not good enough. Tell Him - Not Adding to my Playlist. Pretty bland. All in all I liked 4/16 songs. I thought the other songs were ok though and none were bad. It would’ve been a much better album if the songs were less drawn out. Also, what is wrong with Lauryn Hill? Was she always insane?

This album is not for me at all. I enjoyed the Fugees but this was a struggle.

sooooooo boring. Nothing much going on in terms of anything. Just a pain to sit through.

So much 8th grade class recordings. Too long and overrated, it was a struggle to listen to the entire thing.

-1 tane bile 90 bpm üzeri şarkı yok. -R&B türünde bir albüm -Mutlu şarkıları ortalama bir albüm (90 üzerinde bir tane bile yok) -Puanım 1/5

Straining to listen to this amelodic Soul Hip Hop mix.

Bajsplatta.

16 tracks of solid no thank you. Oddly Lauded as breakthrough, she has a good voice but little else. Musically dull at best

niks kunnen uitluisteren... mismusic from lauren

Utter tosh

I can see why people love this, but it's not for me.

It's a no from me

Not my style...

Not my thing

Rap just doesn't do it for me

No.

not my style, didn't like it at all

Je ne suis pas allé au bout ...

I don’t know, I just didn’t care for it. I thought some of the rap parts were good, but then I feel as though the group singing parts really ruined it for me.

Ok

If you took away the warbles, the 16-track album would shrink to a 2-track EP, and be all the better for it. Some might say that her voice dances and weaves, but for me the frequent thought was a simple plead: "Make it stop!" (Tip to anyone that ever takes me captive and wants to break my will, play the last minute of track 9 on a loop and I’ll cave in and tell you everything you want to know)

ae

Gangsta rap is not my thing, 1/5

I thought the opening Intro quite amusing. The second track (The Lost Ones) is pretty tedious cliched rapping. The vocals on the third track, Ex-Factor are just painful to listen to as is the fourth track, To Zion. This isn't looking good for this album. And it keeps on going. And I kind of lost the desire to listen to more of this. But I did play the whole thing and I frankly cannot see why this made it into this list of albums one must hear.

That's a pass for me.

I remember the hype about this one, and listening to it again, I don't think it held up well.

I thought I would like this album but really didn’t like it at all. It was too jazzy and the songs were forgettable and annoying at points when the reputation of lyrics over and over started. Not a fan of this one. 1/5

No

More annoying rap nonsense.

Not my cup of tea

Not aimed at me but not a fan

Still not a big fan of hip hop

No lo escuché

Naja nicht so mein Ding.

this is a hard listen for me. Not my thing. 1/5

Forgive me father was okay and slightly enjoyable. Everything else… nope

Not my style of music

I do not like contemporary R'n'B genre

Quite boring. Very repetitive and monotone; nothing really stood out. This album is too long to not have anything worth listening too. I was waiting for it to end nearly the entire time. The self-titled track is the best on the album.

Didn't like the few songs I listened to.

If she can’t be bothered to show up to her concerts, I can’t be bothered to listen to her music.

only half listened because it really wasn’t my thing

I hate Hip-Hop

Langdrygt, uinspirerande

Erittäin hyvä levy. Annan silti vaan 1/5 koska Jesse sano mulle että se tykkää tästä ja niin tää vaan homma toimii.

Not a fan.

I wasn't interested in this album in 1998 and a relisten now confirms my feelings. It was cutting edge in 1998,: but now feels dated. Still, the production is stellar, but it's just so generic for the times. I can't find any reason to ever listen to this again, at least I've documented it this time around.

It wasn't really that bad, but it felt like it lasted forever and in the end I was just sooo tired. Every song was way too long and not even one of them managed to catch my interest.

Everything you drop is so tired Music is supposed to inspire the message of everything is everything was okay. Done way better in other songs/talks.

Ei paskaa, mutta miinusta täysin tarpeettomasta pituudesta. Mitä minun tulisi tehdä tällä tuotteella? Laittaa soimaan "taustamusiikiksi"?

Ik had goede hoop, want het album van The Fugees was her en der best aardig. Maar helaas, dit is echt dramatisch. In elk nummer lijkt het alsof ze twee of drie verschillende vocal tracks opgenomen heeft, en dat maakt het voor mij onluisterbaar. Dat je ergens een beetje nadruk legt met een tweede track snap ik, maar geen van allen komt nu goed naar boven waardoor het echt een enorme rommel is. Totaal geen focus, 1 grote teringzooi. Deze krijgt een zeldzame 1 ster, ik kan hier echt niet lang naar luisteren.

hard pass

I believe Ms Lauryn Hill once said she'd rather die than a white person listen to her album. I hope I have done my bit.

Just not into gospel hip hop I guess. Some parts are okay .

It's not even the most repetitive and unoriginal rap album I've found 'till now, so I was maybe thinking giving it 2 stars. But again, that's not even music to me, I've just regretted giving 2 stars to the others not-so-unoriginal rap albums I've met. You deserve your 1 star

Not a rap fan

Big nope. I'd prefer to grate my ears off than subject them to this.

Not my style, I’m sure there are plenty of people who enjoy it just doesn’t do anything for me.

Not for me.

Sudu kruva!

I really liked the fugees album, but this is just so much less creative. It has none of the clever lyrics, creative instrumentals

bruh

Garbage

Not bad, but not for me.

Tough listen. Not for me. Used an interesting framing device that played along with the education/classroom theme.

Rubbish

Hab den Hype damals verpasst, höre grad hin und find ihren Gesang schon gut bis ich nicht begreife, was so heiss ist an diesen schlimmen high pitched tremolo notes ist (bitte immer mit Whitney Houston Hand an der Schläfe) und ihrem Rap höre ich selten eine Abwechslung an. „Music is supposed to inspire“ und das tut‘s mich schon mal gar nicht. Lyrics? Nope. Entweder Check ich’s nicht, oder „What you need ironically Will turn out what you want to be“ hat nix mit Ironie zu tun,oder? Konzeptuell gefallen mir die Schulbank Zwischenstücke am besten. Blasse 1.1

Nope.
