I definitely listened to Lauryn Hill - her's was like the first album I bought myself. Brandy's Never Say Never and Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill were always in rotation for a couple of years.
'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill' happens to be my favorite album.
I listen to unhealthy amount of Kanye. The Fugees. Also, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.'
I never knew listening to a song could give you goose bumps and make you cry until I listened to Lauryn Hill.
Growing up, I listened to a lot of Queen and Lauryn Hill because of my dad. Those are songs that have messages.

I'm definitely inspired by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Lauryn Hill.
I've always loved playing with hair. I used to want dreads like Lauryn Hill, but my mom wouldn't let me.
When I started singing, I was covering Lauryn Hill, Brandy, and all the girl groups of the '90s. It's just what I would listen to and what I was singing when anybody asked me to sing for them.
Lauryn Hill. I admire her bravery and her strength. Hands down to the queen.
I always had a love for music, but I was watching 'Sister Act 2' with Lauryn Hill, and I heard her sing, and I was just like, 'Man, I want to do that.' The whole movie overall was an inspiration for me.

I'd want to collaborate with Eminem, of all people. Maybe even Lauryn Hill.
I was a huge Lauryn Hill fan; that was all my mom would listen to in the car.
Lauryn Hill might have cursed a couple of times in her music, and Missy Elliot definitely just doesn't care. I'm really more inspired by their creativity more so than just the cursing. I'm really impressed by clean music.
If it's a heartbreak-related stress, I like to listen to Lauryn Hill's 'Forgive Them Father' the most, especially the harmonies.
