Celebrating Ms. Hill

We're singing Lauryn praises for serving up major style.

Lauryn Hill's 10 Best Moments  - Lauryn Hill's bizarre, roller-coaster career is taking another unexpected twist. After going from Fugees star to solo Grammy record-breaker to exiled eccentric, the next chapter of Lauryn's story includes her role as a label head, and will be partially set behind bars. Yesterday (May 6), the singer-rapper was sentenced to three months for tax evasion. It's a sad moment for both Lauryn and hip-hop as a whole, but, she's headed inside with years of amazing memories that should help her, and the rest of us, get through the next 90 days. Click on for a look at Lauryn's 10 best moments. —Alex Gale  (Photo: Monica Morgan/WireImage)

Lauryn Hill's First Verse on "Lost Ones" - L-Boogie doesn't even bother to hit those Sister Act notes on "Lost One." And she doesn't need to. Instead, she gives that pure Fugee-la flow to deliver a memorable commentary on the miseducation of the commercialized, using multisyllabic words and internal rhyme schemes. "It's funny how money change a situation/ Miscommunication leads to complication/ My emancipation don't fit your equation/ I was on the humble, you on every station..." (and that's just the opening bars). (Photo: Paul Smith/ WENN)
