With a Song In Her Heart, A Woman Of the People
Lauryn Hill staked out her high-minded aspirations as she began her set on Tuesday night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. From a darkened stage came Bob Marleys Redemption Song, about musics promise of freedom and consolation; then she sang His Eye Is on the Sparrow, about the certainty of faith. Reggae and gospel are touchstones for Ms. Hill, whos determined to pass on positive messages along with a groove. But she doesnt stop there. She also wants to update the sensuality and confessional intimacy of smooth 1970s soul and to harness the streetwise bluntness of hip-hop. For long stretches of her show at the Theater she managed to do it all. Her first solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (Ruffhouse/Columbia), has sold five million copies and won the Grammy Award for album of the year, making it clear that Ms. Hill no longer needs the Fugees, the hip-hop group with whom she made two albums. As both singer and rapper, she has forged a multilevel pop persona: smart and vulnerable, affectionate and strong, fervent but capable of admitting mistakes. She falls for untrustworthy men, demands more of them and decides to rely on herself. And she insists, to herself and to performers who would pander to mass tastes, that music is supposed to inspire..

With Help From Roberta Flack, The Fugees Are Redefining Rap
ITS SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE the start of the recent Fugees show here at the Irvine Auditorium on the University of Pennsylvania campus, and the rap trio -- two-thirds of it, anyway -- is well into its preshow sound check. The stage is filled with technicians, roadies, promoters, security personnel and hangers-on. With all the commotion, it would be easy to overlook the band on stage, that is, until Wyclef Jean, the groups 26-year-old guitarist and rapper, tears off eardrum-splitting riffs over the booming hip-hop track the D.J. is playing. Out in the empty seats, Lauryn Hill, 20, the groups singer and another rapper, is dancing and shouting encouragement. (Prakazrel Michel, 23, the third member, has skipped the sound check to shop for clothes for the Fugees coming appearance on Roseannes new television show, Saturday Night Special.)

A Poor Example
To the Editor: Lauryn Hill is not only self-righteous [The New Conscience of Pop Music, Sept. 19]; shes also a hypocrite. In her scripture-quoting, shes clearly not walking the walk but merely talking the talk. In a recently televised awards show acceptance speech, she spoke about hip-hops responsibility to the world at large and to this country and its individual communities in particular. If Ms. Hill were truly concerned about the troubling paths many young women find themselves on (as in her song Lost Ones), should she not consider the message shes sending to these same young women by having children out of wedlock with by her boyfriend? Surely she must be aware of the mixed-message shes sending: Im a Christian, I believe in the Bible and its teachings, Im trying to pass this knowledge on to my own and the next generation but Im also going to do my own thing. WILLETTE L. BARNETT New Haven.

Pop Superstars Vote for Her Town; Lauryn Hill and 5 Grammys Are Firmly in South Orange
Last year this affluent, image-savvy town that abuts Newark toyed with the idea of changing its name. Worried that the other Oranges -- namely the poorer and largely urban Orange and East Orange -- were dragging it down, a group of residents here proposed rechristening their 120-year-old town South Mountain Village. The campaign, which opponents called racist, ultimately failed. Tonight, after its most famous resident, Lauryn Hill, brought home five Grammy awards, a record for a female artist, there was little talk about burying the name South Orange. From the local Starbucks, where Manhattan-bound commuters grab their daily mochachinos, to Kevins, a gritty tavern on the Newark border, this suburb of 18,000 was reveling in the success of the countrys most celebrated hip-hop star.. Profile of South Orange, NJ, hometown of Grammy Award winner Lauryn Hill; many residents say that Hills decision to remain in South Orange long after she had achieved fame is an affirmation of integration in a town that has clearly been struggling with its racial identity; South Orange, like many aging suburbs on fringe of troubled cities, in this case Newark, has been trying to maintain its real-estate values and vaunted public schools in face of heavy demographic change; 1990 Census shows that towns black population grew to 19 percent, up from less than 5 percent in 1970; but a more revealing figure is composition of school district, which is now more than 50 percent black, up from 22 percent eight years ago; photo; map (L)

Crossing Back Over From Profane to Sacred
ON her solo debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, the rapper, singer and visionary artist Lauryn Hill imagines herself as part of a very old story. It transcends her own 23-year-old life, as stimulating as that may be with the success of her hip-hop group, the Fugees, her highly promising career as a musician and producer and her personal happiness mothering a baby boy. And it eclipses the back catalogue of rhythm-and-blues, although Ms. Hill has established herself as a tradition bearer by respectfully reworking the classic Killing Me Softly for the Fugees biggest hit, writing a song for the regal Aretha Franklin, inviting the funk-rock guitarist Carlos Santana to appear on the solo album and recording part of that album at Tuff Gong Studios, founded by the reggae icon Bob Marley. The saga that inspires Ms. Hill even surpasses the details of black American life that fill her work, right down to her albums title, which echoes that of The Miseducation of the Negro, a book that she probably read in an Afro-American studies class at Columbia University. Her gaze reaches farther, to what she considers the Greatest Story Ever Told: that of a black spiritual legacy grounded in Christianity but constantly adapting to the world outside the church, the buried lifeline of the African diasporas social movements and its arts, foremost among them the music that Miseducation (Ruffhouse/Columbia) renews..
