Lauryn Hill Miseducation- Blake

Lost Ones

  • Her ex Wyclef Jean
  • He treated her badly
  • He’s missing out on her
  • Expressing her feelings

Ex Factor

  • She loves this man
  • He does not feel the same
  • Ex: No matter how I think we grow you tell me it ain’t working
  • When she tries to let him go she needs him in her life

To Zion

  • Song about son Zion
  • People told her to have an abortion
  • Then she alludes to the angel coming upon her from the baby telling her it’s ok
  • She looks at this as a blessing
  • Names him after city in Jerusalem , Zion

Doo Wop (That Thang)

  • Telling men they can’t take advantage of girls like they used to
  • Her good friend isn’t seeing the situation right

Superstar

  • Now people just care about money not where they are coming from
  • Music is suppose to inspire others not rap to make money
  • Hip Hop “Tired”

Reflection

  • I thought a lot of this was about love but mis education as well. People are rapping just to get #1 on the charts. Lauryn Hill is saying you should come from the heart and if it is #1 good for you. Her flow with R&B and Rap is very well put together. This was big leap not just for female rap but also Hip Hop/Rap as a whole.
