Social media remains in an uproar after Kanye West‘s Yeezy Paris Fashion Week Show on Monday (October 3) saw the controversial rapper unveil a new line of custom tee shirts with the phrase “White Lives Matter” printed on them.

Rocked by fellow celebrities Candace Owens, Selah Marley (daughter of Lauryn Hill and Bob Marley‘s son Rohan), and others, the shirts garnered quite the backlash despite West’s attempt to classify them as “revolutionary art.”

Hours after the GRAMMY winner took to the net to defend the Yeezy tees as a response to the “scam” that was the Black Lives Matter movement (as we reported here), Selah has done the same.

As iconic albums go, few can rival the reverberating, culture shifting brilliance of Lauryn Hill‘s 1998 solo debut ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.’

Winner of 5 GRAMMY Awards, including Album of The Year, the socially conscious  LP is widely hailed as one of the most revered releases of all-time. Indeed, it received the honor of being included by the Library of Congress in the National Recording Registry.

But one reality has always run parallel to its legend: til this day it remains Hills sole studio album.

Various reasons have been offered up over the years, from Hill and the project’s collaborators, but the singer herself has spoken up and out about the matter in a super rare interview with Rolling Stone.
