Lauryn Hill with 5 Grammy Awards for debut solo album
The Library of Congress has announced that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill will join its archives. The album, along with 24 others, was selected for the registry because of its cultural and historical significance and 17 years after Lauryn Hill dropped her debut spool album it is still relevant.

Miseducation won Lauryn 5 Grammy Awards and has been considered a timeless classic and is still referenced today.

According to the Library of Congress press release, requirements for inclusion in the archive consist of recordings that are “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” and be at least 10 years old. The Library of Congress gave a lengthy explanation as to why it chose Hill’s debut album:
Lauryn Hill’s debut solo record, following the breakup of the Fugees, is a work of honesty in which Hill explores her feelings on topics that included the deep wonder of pregnancy, the pitfalls of modern relationships and the experience of the sacred. The album effortlessly fuses soul, rhythm and blues, rap and reggae. Hill’s vocal range, smooth clear highs and vibrato are stunning. The rapping is rhythmically compelling while always retaining, and frequently exploiting, the natural cadences of conversational speech. Standout guest performances include Carlos Santana’s soulful acoustic guitar solo on ‘Zion,’ and duets with Mary J. Blige and D’Angelo on ‘I Used to Love Him’ and ‘Nothing Even Matters,’ respectively.
