And if you’ve got Marley’s seed growing in you, you’re bound to reach new musical heights. Well, you know how powerful that Marley spunk is, and sure enough, Hill got knocked up and wrote this album.

Turned out Hill was a whole lot more than just the hot girl from the Fugees, and we learned that big time in 1998. Lauryn Hill “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” (1998) But all flew so close to the sun on that first effort, their subsequent output just never got out of the shadow. How well would you take to finally getting everything you ever wanted? Fame, money, sex, drugs, and new instruments? That’s not to say that some of the artists below didn’t persevere respectably.
