In the video for her 'Everything is Everything' in the restaurant sequence when she is sitting down she is wearing a yellow top with the word 'Selah' on it which is the name of her second born child Selah Louise.
Her second solo album, 'MTV Unplugged 2.0', an ambitious two-CD set released on May 7, 2002, was recorded live with just Hill on vocals and acoustic guitar. It contains all-new, original material, as well as in-between song banter, and was introduced as an installment of MTV2's 'Unplugged' series. Selling only 470,000 copies, it was a relative failure.
Went to the same high school as Garden State (2004) director/actor, Zach Braff.
Graduated from Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, which also produced actors Roy Scheider (Jaws), Elizabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), Andrew Shue (Melrose Place), Zach Braff (Scrubs), and musician Max Weinberg (the E Street Band and Late Night with Conan O'Brien).
Lauryn Hill, a native of South Orange, New Jersey, first came to the glory with the multitalented "Fugees". The first album, "Blunted On Reality" went unnoticed by the wide public; the real break-through came with the sophomore album, "The Score", that featured "Killing Me Softly". That album stills stays the worldwide top-selling rap album of all times (17 million units shipped). Lauryn Hill earned two Grammys (Best rap album and Best r'n'b performance by a duo or group) in 1996, gave birth to Zion (alleged father is Bob Marley's son), before releasing the self-written and self-produced solo album, "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill", that topped Billboard charts the moment it came out.
