Babylon System
<p>March 23, 2022</p><p>Babylon System</p><p>Summary: "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" was an album very clearly held together by a theme, love. And then when Lauryn performed on that stage in MTV studios with a brand new set of songs with just her and an acoustic guitar, there seemed to be a lack of cohesion within the songs themselves as well as the performance as a whole. Initially derided by critics and fans, "MTV Unplugged No. 2.0" went on to influence artists such as Kanye, Lecrae, and many others in hip hop. But what might not be apparent from a single or a dozen listens of the performance is that the album's songs are narratively connected. This album is her story but it is also the story of all humanity, where Lauryn takes us from Genesis to Revelation and through the words and life of Jesus.</p><p>Timestamps:</p><ul><li>The Media, Critic, and Fan Response to "MTV Unplugged No. 2.0" - 00:00</li><li>Bob Marley's "Babylon System" As The Inspiration for "Unplugged" - 4:50</li><li>Femi Olutade Dissects "Mr. Intentional" - 8:16</li><li>"Adam Lives in Theory" as the Story of All Humanity - 13:00</li><li>"Freedom Time" as the Central Theme of "Unplugged - 20:06</li><li>Femi talk through various "Unplugged" songs ("Just Like Water," "I Gotta Find Peace of Mind," "The Mystery of Iniquity," and "I Get Out") as the narrative of the Bible - 34:29</li><li>"The Conquering Lion" as Jesus and the one who destroys the "Babylon System" - 35:59</li><li>Krystal and Matt React to the Narrative that Femi found within "Unplugged" - 45:44</li></ul><br/><p>Hosts: Lauryn Hill researcher, Krystal Roberts, and Hip Hop scholar, Matt Linder.</p><p>Contributors: Julius Tunstall, Raven Jones Stanbrough, and Femi Olutade.</p><p>Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok: @theflickerspod</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.flickerspodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">flickerspodcast.com</a></p><p>Subscribe: <a href="https://www.flickerspodcast.com/listen" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.flickerspodcast.com/listen</a></p><p>Rate & Review us on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/flickers/id1437163252" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/0I6YVTVdAvERnz6j95Im3K" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/flickers-733168" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podchaser,</a> and <a href="https://goodpods.app.link/nAAlMWy9dmb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goodpods</a>.</p><p>Follow our Harklist for Season 2 highlights:<a href="https://harkaudio.com/lauryn-hill-season-highlights-77939" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://harkaudio.com/lauryn-hill-season-highlights-77939</a></p><p>Join the conversation about Lauryn over at our <a href="https://goodpods.app.link/pcYGQALzsnb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goodpods group</a>.</p><p>Take the next step and text this episode to a friend who is a Lauryn Hill fan, a hip hop fan, or a music fan.
