MTV Unplugged No. 2.0 is a live album by American singer and rapper Lauryn Hill. The performance comes from her 2002 MTV Unplugged special recorded on July 21, 2001, at MTV Studios in Times Square, New York City. Hill abandoned the hip hop sounds of her debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998) in favor of folk and soul songs she performed with an acoustic guitar. The songs were interspersed with spoken interludes about her personal and artistic struggles.
Was met with mixed reviews. Most critics fa youth cup final found Hill's performances self-indulgent and repetitive, while some appreciated the album as a bold and sincere change in artistic direction. The album has since received retrospective acclaim by critics who have praised the album for its uniqueness and rawness, and a variety of hip hop, R&B and pop artists have cited it as an inspiration.
The album sold approximately 122,000 amitabh bachchan copies in its first week, debuting at number three on the Billboard 200. It has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, having shipped one million copies in the United States. The song "Mystery of Iniquity" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Rap Solo Performance, and was famously sampled by Kanye West on his 2004 song "All Falls Down".
For MTV Unplugged No. 2.0, Hill departed from the hip hop sounds of her debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn phil foden Hill (1998) in favor of austerely performed acoustic soul and folk-based songs. She jokingly described herself as a "hip-hop folk singer", and according to Robert Hilburn, assumed the role of a folk singer accompanied only by her acoustic guitar. Rather than singing any of her previous hits, Hill debuted all new songs in a folk style and, in between songs, spoke at length about her personal and artistic struggles.
Was released to mixed reviews and modest sales. It debuted and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, where it charted for fourteen weeks. The album was certified Platinum by RIAA, a month after its release. Most critics questioned Hill's discipline as an artist on the album.
Some critics appreciated as a radical and bold change in direction by Hill. In a positive review, AllMusic's William Ruhlmann conceded that Hill's spoken interludes sounded vain and foolish but still felt the album was "fascinating" as an "unfinished, unflinching presentation of ideas and of a person". Q was more enthusiastic, finding her songs beautifully sincere and performed austerely in a way that recalled the vibrant quality of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" (1980).
"Mystery of Iniquity" was nominated at the 45th Grammy Awards for Best Female Rap Solo Performance.
Over time many critics have reevaluated, which has gained more acclaim and positive reviews. In a retrospective review for Albumism, Daryl McIntosh wrote: is one of the most unique albums ever captured on tape. One that points straight into the soul of this once-in-a-lifetime artist in raw form, exposing both the brilliance that we fell in love with when we first heard her voice and the fragility of the human spirit."
Katy Iandoli of Revolt praised the album's socially driven material, stating that the songs "I Get Out" and "Mr. Intentional" are now the constructs of modern-day thinkpieces rooted in self-empowerment and "letting go", while referring to the album as "ahead of its time". Journalist Andy Greene of Rolling Stone commended the album, calling it "the most unique, unpolished Unplugged ever to see the light of day", placing it on his list of the 15 best episodes from the MTV Unplugged series.
The Boombox placed on their '10 Underrated Sophomore Rap Albums From the '90s' list. The album has appeared on many publications list of the best and most memorable MTV unplugged performances, including list by Blavity, BBC, and UDiscover Music. Yardbarker named the album among the twenty recordings they consider to be the best live R&B and hip hop albums; while DJBooth ranked it third on their list of "10 Best Live Hip-Hop Albums".
