Funny thing is that I was convinced that Kill Me Softly was on this record. My mistake. Apart from that, that's a really good rap/R&B album with strong backup instrumental, nice collaborations and Hill's voice that is impressive. Although I really like her flow, so I wouldn't have complained with more rap and less melodic singing. The album is a bit long, and the interludes are a bit much.
This is arguably one of the greatest albums of all time, hitting home on just about every level. It opens with a school register being taken and the theme continues with a young woman figuring out life, love and everything, drawing from diverse musical influences and producing something that sounds almost effortlessly perfect. This was Hill’s only solo album but it stands as a genre defining achievement for all time.
