Lauryn Hill did it because it was a concept. So did Jodeci. (Which both were great)

Lauryn Hill is supposed to be in class and she is missing an important lesson in class. She was absent in the attendance remember (The Intro)?. So the album flows with what she would be learning in class and what she's missing, as well as what she is learning on her own time (the actual songs). That's why its called the "Miseducation of Lauryn Hill".

And Jodeci's is how their life is from the Show to the After Party to the Hotel. It shows how the group lives its life (groupies, shows, party tracks, after parties, then hotel time, then they aboard a flight at the end etc.)....I love that. That's why the album flows so well and its their best overall album. Every track is playable from intro to outro and the transition from track to track is great.



See I can get down with that. But an album like Raheem DeVaughn or Jill Scott's where the interludes are pointless talking is what I CANT get down with. They need to cut that shit out if it ain't got no purpose.

Interesting how I thought about this the other day--

I think H-Town did cool on their 'Beggin after dark' album (tracks 4 & 11). Track 4 - Prelude to Emotions... I think they should have made another version like that. Track 11 named after the album has a nice piano instrumental between good tracks.

ALthough, I like to listen to intro/interludes just to hear the purpose of the album or for whatever reason. Other than that, I dont really care too much for intro/interludes as much as the next individual.
