She proceeded, over the next 106 minutes, to play a plucked guitar over songs she mostly sang, but some of which had some spoken word passages. Hill took the stage in New York with her head shorn of the locks that covered Miseducation, toting an acoustic guitar, wearing a Yankees cap and some jeans. Instead of doing her old songs and shitting on the microphone like Nina Simone, Hill wanted to give her listeners something different at Unplugged: a look into the interior life of a performer who made it to the mountaintop of fame, and who found it as empty as the “regular” life she left behind. Since she had cleaned up at the Grammys in 1999 for Miseducation of Lauryn Hill-she and Outkast remain the only rappers to win an Album of the Year Grammy-she had disappeared in a cloud of rumors and smoke, moving to Jamaica with her partner Rohan Marley (yes, Bob’s son) and apparently had no plans to do a new album anytime soon. At the time, she was the most famous rapper on earth not named Eminem-your mom can hum “Doo Wop (That Thing),” ask her-but was in danger of getting left behind as rap became the defining music of the 2000s. The show, meant as a storytelling and acoustic live performance, had hosted rappers before (LL Cool J was actually one of the first performers ever), and had artists making appearances that ended up outranking some of their studio material (Nirvana chief among them, but also, uh, Eric Clapton).
