Hmmm... I sort of agree with this, at least as far as the recognition that
Hill is getting compared to that Me'shell, Badu (and Brigette McWilliams,
for that matter) are getting, but there are some _very_ nice tunes on
"Miseducation" - "Nothing even matters" being the best - I've just about
played that tune to death. Five Grammies though, when Me'shell only
managed to get one _nomination_ for Plantation Lullabies? Oh well...
