The Re-Education of Lauryn Hill



I am ecstatic to say that I have discovered "The Re-Education of Lauryn Hill". I did not know it existed until after I wrote the blog on her yesterday. Come to find out that it is a mixtape which was never released by Columbia Records. But the luck comes in where you can get a free listen of it on a website called datpiff.com
I must say that Ms. Hill has outdone herself over again. I've listened to this mixtape over and over again, and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Every time I listen to her beautiful voice sing the classic "Makings of You," I swear a tear wants to fall. I missed hearing her voice. It's something about a voice like Lauryn Hill's that makes you want to hear more and more each time. Hopefully this woman will regain her strength from the situations that life has put her through and come back to her first love of music. Because let's be real people if Lauryn was still on the scene then Beyonce wouldn't even be thought of. 
Don't get me wrong I love Ms.B/Sasha Fierce but Lauryn Hill has the kind of music that I can't get tired of. I can hear a Beyonce song all day and eventually get tired, but if I put on my favorite Lauryn Hill song "The Sweetest Thing" there's no stopping me from putting it on repeat. She had real music. She didn't have to show or shake her ass to get attention. All she needed was a stage and guitar and she captured the crowd quicker than a person could blink. I just want the essence of Lauryn Hill back along with her as a whole.
 Nothing could be sweeter than that when it comes to music.

  1. So, I'm glad to see you've joined the blogging community. On another note I would like to boast of my undying love for Lauren Hill. She is undoubtedly one of the best to ever pick up a guitar and harmonize about real life situations and love. I can listen to Nothing even matters all day. Well, I love your posts. Keep them coming.
