Lauryn Hill and Hip Hop

Hip-Hop Soul Merchant
Lauryn Hill is a singer who is viewed not doing Hip-Hop but Hip-Hop. She can "rhyme competently enough to satisfy subcommerical hip-hop ghetto realness gatekeeper". The two of the songs that are being described as being part of Hip-Hop is "The Sweetest Thing" and "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. She is viewed as an MC and sings with her church choir. "Her curriculum vitae, fugees superstar, community activist, undergraduate Columbia History major, and a child actor." I see her as a mentor in the music videos. She tells how it is and doesn't wake anything up. Her music comes from the heart and she is not degrading herself and a rapper's video. She has accomplished so much in her life and now she is a big time singer. She makes very beautiful music videos with church singers and she not afraid to be different.
