10 Reasons Ms. Lauryn Hill Changed Music Forever

From the gate Ms. Lauryn Hill's fashion sense defied expectations and norms. Looking and feeling womanly in more loose fitting clothing became a way of life.

Although music today is a bit different, she won five Grammy-Awards off of only solo album to ever be released "The Mis-Education of Lauryn Hill."

Under most musical circumstances L. Boogie's considered to be an MC instead of a singer, but she's great at both. In your mind is L. Boogie really an MC?

Newsweek once named Ms. Lauryn Hill "the most powerful new [voices] in rap." Not bad for a young lady from East Orange, NJ.

Ms. Lauryn Hill became the first woman to be nominated in ten Grammy-Award categories in a single year.

She was one of the first sights of #BlackGirlMagic. Ms. Lauryn Hill owned her beauty, womanhood, rhymed with the best of the boys all the while staying 'feminine.'

Ms. Lauryn Hill's conscious rhymes had us all woke before we were even told by MC's like Kendrick that we were going to be 'alright.'

In 1999 Ms. Lauryn Hill became the youngest female to be included by Ebony Magazine in their Most Influential Black Americans list.

Through her music we learned that all forms of love were okay and may take time.

We keep playing Ms. Lauryn Hill's debut album and calling it a classic almost 20 years after its release.
