My parents, my family, my friends, my community, where I come from, who I come from\u2026 I wanted that same flame that inspired me to remain, I couldn\u2019t bare to see it lost. I made what I wanted to see and hear exist in the world at the time. I\u2019m grateful that it connected and continues to connect with so many people. Thank you to EVERYONE who was a part of it, to EVERYONE who supported its release and movement around the world, even those who were reluctant at first, because it unleashed an indomitable creative will which again just exemplifies how much love was invested in me. Thank you tons to every careful listener, thank you to every casual listener, and love to all the artists and those who support them fighting the good, courageous, and noble fight of presenting the art you love to a world that desperately needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n Of the album, Apple wrote<\/a>: \u201cLauryn Hill<\/strong>\u2019s debut \u2014 and only \u2014 solo studio album was a seismic event in 1998: a stunningly raw, profound look into the spiritual landscape not just of one of the era\u2019s biggest stars, but of the era itself. She was, and remains, a once-in-a-generation talent whose inspiration and innovation can be heard through the decades. Artists exhaust long discographies hoping for a cohesive piece of work resonant enough to reshape culture and inscribe its creator into the pantheon; Lauryn Hill<\/strong> did it in one.\u201d<\/p>\n Apple Music\u2019s 100 Best Albums \u2013 Top 10<\/strong><\/p>\n 10.
