she wasn't in the late 90's...but I've found myself wondering how she's still a headliner in 2018 with such a limited catalog of music

she's gotta be up there performing fugees songs, the entire miseducation album, and her guest appearances :manny:

Was she talented? Yes but overrated. There was a lot of mythological hype that surrounded her after her solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn....

1 classic album and then little to nothing afterwards, aside from that bizarre Unplugged album/concert (tho it was a a few really good songs on here)

Wyclef was the real talent in the group. After The Fugees broke up, he went on to put out his own great and nowadays underrated album, The Carnival and a few other good albums. He wrote and produced big hits for a who's who of artists (Destiny's, Child, Carlos Santana and The Product G&B, City High, Mary J, Shakira etc)

Lauryn became more of a myth than anything with her 1 classic album. She was great in The Fugees (best mc obviously,) but as a solo act? Overrated.

She's become more of a legend for her tardiness to her concerts and her self imposed exile from music on and off again over the last almost 20 years then she has for her music. What year did The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill come out again? 98'. Yeah, exactly.
I always found the carnival > miseducation

Lauryn was/is definitely a way better writer than Latifah.

You don't know this, Lauryn didn't write her songs. That's why she was constantly sued for writing credits on the miseducation of Lauryn hill. The writers weren't given credit.

That's why she never matched that output again, they refused to work with her.

There's tons of articles about this.

Mystery of Inequity was solely written by Lauryn and that was better than anything on Miseducation and better than anything Latifah put out.
