After splitting with the innovative hip-hop group the Fugees, Lauryn Hill scored one of the most impressive solo debuts of the 1990s with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which blended intelligent, incisive lyrics, funk grooves, old-school soul ambience with Hill's strong and distinctive vocals. Nearly four years later, Hill appeared on MTV's newly revived Unplugged series, and MTV Unplugged: Lauryn Hill -- No. 2.0 finds her performing a set of brand new songs, as well as sharing her thoughts on her music, her philosophies, and the circumstances which helped to shape her work and her life. Songs include "Adam Lives in Theory," "War in the Mind," "Water," "The Conquering Lion," "So Much Things to Say," and eight others. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Singer/songwriter Lauryn Hill goes for the gold in the live concert Lauryn Hill: MTV Unplugged No. 2.0. Presented in 1.33:1 full frame, this is a very pleasant-looking image that sports vivid colors and dark black levels. Shot live on-stage, the transfer has a very rough and real feel to it that should please most Hill fans. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround in English. This is a very full and lively soundtrack that utilizes all of the speakers during each of the 13 songs featured on this disc. The dialogue and music are all free of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc is a subpar PCM Stereo soundtrack in English. The extra features on this disc are in the resounding negative -- not one single supplement is included on this disc (unless you count a song chapter list as a feature). ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
