Lauryn Hill: Faith, fame, and a different measure of success
Latest episode of Theology of Hip-Hop
Lauryn Hill’s legacy isn’t just about charts or Grammys — it’s about integrity.
In this episode of “Theology of Hip-Hop,” Chris Burton (Di Baddest Chaplain) explores how Hill’s music holds together faith, vulnerability and moral courage. From “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” to the raw honesty of “Unplugged,” this conversation traces her refusal to trade her soul for fame, her scripture-soaked lyricism, and her vision of love, justice and spiritual freedom.
Rather than treating Hill as a cautionary tale, this episode reframes her as a success story: an artist who stepped back when needed, protected her spirit, and left a body of work that still preaches decades later.
Listen for a deep dive into faith and fame, motherhood and calling, and why Lauryn Hill’s music continues to shape generations.
