forefront with her debut solo album. Composed of
wisdom and realism, Hill’s verses flow like spoken
poetry. School is in session as she teaches about love
and loss with the help of fellow soul mates Mary J.
Blige and D’Angelo.
Carlos Santana adds finishing touches on “To
Zion,” a beautiful ballad dedicated to Hill’s son.
Hip-hop meets scripture when Hill inspires on “Fi
nal Hour” and “Forgive Them Father.”
There are even two bonus tracks on the album in
cluding a version of “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of
You.” Like the sound of an old 45, Hill blends clas
sic rhythm and blues with silky smooth harmonies.
Lauryn Hill, proven top of her class, graduates with
honors on Miseducation.
Beastie Boys
Hello Nasty
2 ^^— After five years, Adam Horovitz
T;. (Adrock), Adam Yaunch (MCA) and Mike
Kw Diamond (Mike D) brought their beats out
of the dungeon and bless the Beastie girls
and boys of the world with the release of
Hello Nasty. The album consists of 21 tracks filled with
lyrical prose, funk beats and even a little lounge mu
sic from the Brooklyn boys.
Less crass than License to III and not as hard- hit
ting as Check Your Head and Paul’s Boutique, Hello
Nasty transforms old-school rhyme and reason to the
modern era.
Nobody does it better than three-time world cham
pion DJ, Mixmaster Mike, whose creativity and flair
intertwine with the Beastie Boys style magnificently.
U2
The Best of 1980-1990 (Limited
Edition)
The highest-selling greatest-
hits collection by any band its
first week of release, this dou
ble disc set of the best of U2 is
a contradiction in itself — with so many
platinum albums, a compilation of their
best songs is merely opinion.
Disc one celebrates U2’s first six albums, with
classics including “1 Will Follow” and “Sunday
Bloody Sunday.”
Included in the limited edition is a promotional
album of B-sides with the newly enhanced ver
sion of “Sweetest Thing.”
Tfue U2 fans will know every word by heart.
Bono’s soulful vocals make this yet another rare
album from arguably the greatest rock band of
the past two decades.
Dixie Chicks
[Vide Open Spaces
_ _ The hottest new
group to hit main-
stream country
and the first all
female group to
score a number one hit, the
Dixie Chicks’ signature sound is
taking them far.
The Chicks’ latest release com
bines a mix of country, folk and blue-
grass with pop harmonies.
As if that is not enough, they play their
own music. Natalie Maines’ vocals on “You
Were Mine” are perhaps the most emotional
and heart-wrenching of the compilation.
Overall, this un-Nashville CD is filled with
attitude, personality and a lively delivery.
FatBoy Slim
% You've Come A Long Way Baby
FatBoy Slim, a.k.a. Norman Cook,
deserves much praise for this hand
crafted album.
The big-beat brother from
Brighton, known for throwing the
baddest house parties in England, has certainly
come a long way since his first release. Better Liv
ing Through Chemistry.
