The Flashback Fridays #2 For 8/24/18: Lauryn Hill - Everything is Everything (1998) (Special Edition of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill's 20th anniversary)

Personally speaking, my #1 track of the 14 from this classic album. No matter the definite drama on if she did write all the lines, from singing throughout and her spittin' on verse 2, this was Lauryn Hill at her PEAK all throughout. And while "Doo Wop" took all the glory and "Ex-Factor" is in current day stories, this fully showed the quality she brought in 98. Every line, both sung or rapped, was tremendous in this one co-produced by Johari Newton. So, it's "Everything in Everything", as the celebration of Lauryn's 20-year classic continues.

While everyone over the years gave most of the attention to "Doo Wop (That Thing)", Ex-Factor still was its own sensational track to the point that Cardi and Aubrey either sample it or used the bridge this year of course for "Be Careful" and "Nice For What." Anyway, here is the celebration of "Ex-Factor", the first Flashback Friday choice of this celebration of this timeless album.
