Before the Rock The Bells tour kick off last weekend, headline performer Lauryn Hill dished to Reebok about her motivation behind and how she feels now about one of the most classic albums of our time--The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Peep Lauryn's vid inside...
The rare interview was done for the Reebok Classics and Rock The Bells series "Classic Albums for Classic Artists."
About creating the 1998 classic Miseducation album, Lauryn said:
I think we understood it was gonna be landmark, but I don't think we understood to what degree people would be deeply impacted by what was done. I was really trying to express myself. I say all the time, I make music not necessarily for selfish reasons, but I make music I wanna hear. But when you fin other people who want to hear it to, how could you not be excited about that? Miseducation was sort of a play on low and high culture coming together.
And about the message she was voicing throughout her creation:
What I intended to get across was that there was a learning, a process of understanding, that came from an extremely non-traditional way. This album would be an embodiment of those type of rules and lessons. What may be--a more formal paradigm would call--uneducated...or wouldn't acknowledge. But in fact were valuable life lessons. And this music would be a representation of that. Peep the video that will be used as part of Reebok's "Classic Albums by Classic Artists" series for Rock The Bells.
SO love her.
