Lauryn Hill: 'Selling Records of the Fugees All Over the World Had a Big Impact' | Interview | TMF

Lauryn Hill interviewed by Sylvana for Sylvana's Soul.
Lauryn Noelle Hill (born May 26, 1975) is an American singer, songwriter and rapper known for being a member of Fugees, and for her solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which won many awards and broke several sales records. Often regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time, as well as being a pioneer in the Neo soul genre. Hill is widely credited for breaking barriers for female rappers, popularizing melodic rapping and for bringing hip hop to popular music. She has influenced many artists of various genres.
Raised mostly in South Orange, New Jersey, Hill began singing with her music-oriented family during her childhood. She appeared in the 1993 film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit alongside Whoopi Goldberg. In high school, Hill was approached by Pras Michel for a band he started, which his cousin Wyclef Jean soon joined. They renamed themselves the Fugees and released the albums Blunted on Reality (1994), and the Grammy Award-winning The Score (1996), which sold six million copies in the U.S. Hill rose to prominence for her African-American and Caribbean music influences on her rapping and singing and, most notably, her performance on the Fugees version of "Killing Me Softly". Her tumultuous romantic relationship with Wyclef Jean led to the split of the band in 1997, after which she began to focus on solo projects.

Simply beautiful. The queen then, now and forever. _The Score_ is almost certified Diamond, and when it is, she will be the first female rapper to have _two_ Diamond selling albums.

She's so brave. She gave the finger to the government and they came after her yet she never backed down.

[@reign8821]

She gave the word of God and truth to the world that hated God and scorned at obedience and those in control tried to silence her because of the truth that she preached to the nations.
