Ben moi, j'adore Laureen Hill surtout l'album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill qui est son 1er album solo ! Même avec les fugees ou dans sister act ... je l'adore, j'adore sa voix très spéciale et son style ! et puis je la trouve vrai dans ce qu'elle chante ... Je l'ai vu à son seul concert à Paris et forcément c'est mon concert préféré !!! Voilà je vous met tous sur elle ci-dessous et si vous connaissez pas écoutez pour voir !Biographie Lauryn Hill doit sa célébrité aux Fugees, dont elle était la chanteuse principale. Elle débute sa carrière solo en 1998 avec l'album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Elle intègre rap, soul, reggae et R&B dans sa musique. Elle est nominée 11 fois aux Grammies 99, et y remporte 5 awards: meilleur album de l'année, meilleur artiste, meilleure chanteuse R&B, meilleure chanson R&B et meilleur album R&B.
Lauryn a quatre enfants, Zion David né en 1997, Selah Louise née en 1998, Joshua né en 2002 et John né en 2003. Son mari, Rohan Marley n'est autre que le fils du célèbre Bob Marley.
Catholique pratiquante, elle revendique ses croyances : elle s'est entre autres battue contre les abus sexuels des prêtres aux États-Unis.
En 2006 elle fait une apparition sur scène dans un documentaire musical de Michel Gondry: Dave Chappelle's Block Party, reformant pour l'occasion les Fugees aux côtés de Wyclef Jean et de Pras Michel.
Début de carrière et The Fugees Lauryn Hill a fréquenté l'école Columbia High School à South Orange dans la grande aire métropolitaine de New York, où elle a commencé à chanter et à jouer à un très jeune âge. Elle rencontre là-bas Wyclef Jean, qui est son camarade de classe, et son grand ami Pras Michel avec qui ils forment le groupe The Tranzlator Crew en 1988 alors que Lauryn n'a que 13 ans.
Le groupe est ensuite mis entre parenthèses par les débuts solo en tant qu'actrice de Lauryn puis par son entrée à l'Université de Columbia. Elle joue dans les shows télévisés As the World Turns (dans le rôle de "Kira Johnson" en 1991) et le film Sister Act 2 sortie en 1993, dans ce dernier elle a pu démontrer ses talents vocaux.
Les membres de Tranzlator Crew réussissent à mettre en place une dynamique dans la grande aire métropolitaine de New York et le groupe devient The Fugees. Leur premier album Blunted on Reality était très prometteur mais n'a pas atteint ses objectifs. Il fut suivi par The Score, un disque qui fut plusieurs fois disque de Platine ce qui a installé les Fugees (Lauryn Hill, Pras Michel et Wyclef Jean) dans un succès international.
Lauryn Hill a également joué dans le film King of the Hill (en tant qu'Arletta, l'opératrice d'ascenseur), la pièce Club 127 et les films animés Hav Plenty (1997) et Restaurant (1998). Elle est apparue en tant que chanteuse dans les bandes originales des films Conspiracy Theory en 1997 avec la chanson "Can't take My Eyes Off You" et Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood en 2001 avec la chanson "Selah".
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill En 1998, Lauryn Hill sortit The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, un album salué par la critique qui fut également un des albums les plus vendus de l'année, de la décennie et de tous les temps. Parmi les singles de l'album il y a "Doo Wop (That Thing)", l'excellent "Ex-Factor" ou encore "Everything is everything". Aux Grammy Awards de 1999, Lauryn Hill a été nominée 11 fois et a gagné les prix suivants :
-album de l'année
-meilleur nouvel artiste
-meilleure performance vocale féminine R&B
-meilleure chanson R&B
-meilleur album R&B
instituant ainsi un nouveau record pour une artiste féminine. Le titre de l'album fut inspiré du livre de Carter G. Woodson, The Miseducation of the Negro.
Peu après, Lauryn Hill et sa société de disques furent poursuivis par Vada Nobles, Rasheem Pugh, Johari Newton, et Tejumold Newton, connus en tant que "New Ark Entertainment", qui se sont plaint de n'avoir reçu aucun crédit ni rémunération pour leur participation à l'album. Ils ont reçu un montant non connu et ont été crédités pour la programmation de percussions et une petite quantité de travail lyrique, instrumental et de production.

Paroles de Everything Is EverythingEverything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
I wrote these words for everyone
Who struggles in their youth
Who won't accept deception
Instead of what is truth
It seems we lose the game,
Before we even start to play
Who made these rules? We're so confused
Easily led astray
Let me tell ya that
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything
I philosophy
Possibly speak tongues
Beat drum, Abyssinian, street Baptist
Rap this in fine linen
From the beginning
My practice extending across the atlas
I begat this
Flippin' in the ghetto on a dirty mattress
You can't match this rapper / actress
More powerful than two Cleopatras
Bomb graffiti on the tomb of Nefertiti
MCs ain't ready to take it to the Serengeti
My rhymes is heavy like the mind of Sister Betty
L. Boogie spars with stars and constellations
Then came down for a little conversation
Adjacent to the king, fear no human being
Roll with cherubims to Nassau Coliseum
Now hear this mixture
Where hip hop meets scripture
Develop a negative into a positive picture
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
Sometimes it seems
We'll touch that dream
But things come slow or not at all
And the ones on top, won't make it stop
So convinced that they might fall
Let's love ourselves then we can't fail
To make a better situation
Tomorrow, our seeds will grow
All we need is dedication
Let me tell ya that,
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
After winter, must come spring
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
What is meant to be, will be
After winter, must come spring
Change, it comes eventually
Paroles de Nothing Even MattersNow the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
'cause nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
See i don't need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it i'd go through withdrawal
'cause nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters at all
These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there's no place i'd rather be
'cause nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
You're part of my identity
I sometimes have the tendency
To look at you religiously
'cause nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters to me
Now you won't find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it's never either or
'cause nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Now my team could score
And make it to the final four
Just repossess my 4x4
'cause nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Paroles de Lost OnesIt's funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation don't fit your equation
I was on the humble, you - on every station
Some wan' play young lauryn like she dumb
But remember not a game new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from bricks to kingston
My ting done made your kingdom wan' run
Now understand l. boogie's non violent
But if a thing test me, run for mi gun
Can't take a threat to mi newborn son
L's been this way since creation
A groupie call, you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnish my image in your conversation
Who you gon' scrimmage, like you the champion
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
Now, now how come your talk turn cold
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin' to grab hold of what you can't control
Now you're all floss, what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now i'm on hope road
Every man want to act like he's exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent
Can't slick talk on the day of judgement
Your movement's similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how your whole style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocent
Always want to take it to the full out extent
Always want to make it seem like good intent
Never want to face it when it's time for punishment
I know that you don't wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you don't change then the rain soon come
See you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, it's so silly how come
When it's all done did you really gain from
What you done done, it's so silly how come
You just lost one
Now don't you understand man universal law
What you throw out comes back to you, star
Never underestimate those who you scar
Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard
You can't hold god's people back that long
The chain of shatan wasn't made that strong
Trying to pretend like your word is your bond
But until you do right, all you do will go wrong
Now some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some don't know what they have 'til it's gone
Now even when you're gone you can still be reborn
And, from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now, some might listen and some might shun
And some may think that they've reached perfection
If you look closely you'll see what you've become
Cause you might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, it's so silly how come
When it's all done did you really gain from
What you done done, it so silly how come
(repeat to end)
