In The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill uses a combination of hip-hop and R&B to convey tone and feeling in the music as well as wordplay and allusions to create meaning. In general, the more confident songs seem to be more hip-hop influenced while the songs that take on more of an R&B tone seem more reflective and introspective. This combination is especially poignant because hip-hop is a male-dominated genre, in that Lauryn Hill uses the blending of genres to demonstrate both strength and vulnerability through her music.
