Fugees (Refugee Camp)女主音Lauryn Hill的1998年首张个人专辑《The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill》不但出现在所有杂志的年度最佳专辑推荐名单上并且与专辑中所选出的首支单曲'(Doo Wop)That Thing'双双登上Billboard杂志冠军王座。
像所有优秀的黑人音乐一样，因为质朴真诚而动人。这是张个人色彩浓厚的作品，其中涉及的主题从Lauryn个人的感受一直到社会政治议题都有，而在音乐部份的铺陈更显出这位来自纽泽西南橘郡（South Orange）的年轻女生精练且圆熟的大将之风——大胆地直入音乐广场，精准地藉各式音乐元素描绘出最靠近她心底的想法。有时候，她会使用些曲折的幽默手法，有时则很直接，有时她的痛苦和忿怒又缓缓道出，但无论是何种情绪，她绝对不会采取非常激动的手法大声狂吼，她的情绪表现方式已被日常的生活经验洗礼过。
至于奇怪的专辑标题，Lauryn建议大家不要太从字面上去断章取义。这位现年23岁，在1998年生子之前曾在哥伦比亚大学就读过一年的歌者解释道：“关于‘失学（Miseducation）’的概念并不完全代表‘失学’，对我而言，那代表的是你在学校之外所学到的东西，在社会所定义的‘正规’与‘义务’之外的地方。我很尊敬正统学院教育，只是我认为在教室之外还有很多事情值得我学习。那是在我们离开理想中的乌托邦、进入成人世界的一个必经历程。”
