Ms. Lauryn Hill announces 20th anniversary Miseducation tour

Ms. Lauryn Hill announces...ation tour

Lauryn Hill’s iconic debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, turns 20 this year. To mark the occasion, The Fugees legend is heading out on a special US tour during which she’ll perform the LP in full.

* = 20th anniversary tour

Yeah, I saw that. Anybody gonna risk attending?

I love this album, still sounds fresh 20 years later! Too bad the tour is not coming anywhere near my area though.

I am going to go out on a limb and get a ticket. I hope I am not disappointed. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill has become my favorite album from a female artist. I listen to this cd from start to finish all the time.

She is really milking every last squirt from that album. Do u think she will do like album versions or the royalty free turn my volume up stuff she's been doing for the last decade. Real friends warn friends to bring sudoku and a lawn chair for the wait.

Alanis Morrisette is another one, milking the hell out of that one album lol.

But Alanis has more than one studio album so she can probably get a pass

Is that Lauryn Hill's only album? Damn!

Yep, her only studio album. She has her MTV Unplugged album, but yeah....that's it.

Flashback: "Doo Wop (That Thing)" by Lauryn Hill (1998)

This is one of my all time fav albums, but I will not be going to see her. I don't want to spoil the album and how much I love it by seeing her do half songs, showing up late, not seeing half the lyrics etc, etc. Unfortunately, these are the things I've heard from other people that have seen her over the past few years.

I’m sure that the shows will be great.Her only problem is that she often comes out onstage really late,which angers many fans.If she can fix that problem,she’ll be OK.

She seem stubbornly oblivious to the problem. My friend went to see her in London, she showed up hours later because “divine interventions saved her life before she got there”. I love Miss Hill though, I hope we get to hear a new album from her in this lifetime.

She is so full of shit. I don't think I will go to Burnaby BC just for this though I LOVE the idea of a concert performing one whole album. At least my CD starts on time.

did someone ghost write that album....? maybe why she could never follow up...

She did a make a follow up though. Her MTV unplugged is far more superior, lyrically.

For real?

I've actually discussed this issue with friends over the years--the possibility that the album was more collaborative than what was given credit for...

Yep. If I'm not mistaken, she had to settle out of court with co-producers and co-writers who weren't credited in the original album credits.

The funny thing is if you read the credits you will see everyone who sued namechecked one way or another.

Word? So she named checked as in gave shoutouts to such and such but didn't give proper credit in the liner notes? I don't remember...

The rumor, and alleged explanation for the "new versions" is that what you hear live, now, from Miseducation is what Lauryn contributed - lyrics, some rhythms, some melodies, etc. anything else on that album would equal a credit/royalty to another and therefore will not be performed live.

.

This is likely why no song is performed verbatim from the album anymore and why there will not be another Lauryn Hill album.

Sounds right.
