Product Description
Their remake of "Killing Me Softly" was the hit, but that's only the beginning of the story. A hip-hop trio whose talents reach out into the world of the pop song (Wyclef Jean is a fine guitar player, and Lauryn Hill's a heck of a singer), the Fugees are also all distinctive, inventive rappers--you find yourself waiting for each of them to take the next verse in turn. The beats are the familiar crossed-armed boom-bip, but the group's understated grooves and subtle effects lie low in the mix. Aside from two kicky covers of classics (the other is Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"), The Score's focus is on the stars' rhyming with the free-form grace of performance poets and showing that they've thought deeply about the issues they raise. --Douglas Wolk

    Summary: The Score-Fugees cd
    Comment: I had this cd previously but it got misplaced. Me wanting to even purchase another one should tell you what I think of it but I'm going to put it in laymen's terms. This is one of my all-time favorite cds. My favorite track is number 4, Zealots. That is one of Lauryn Hill's best raps ever. She truly breaks it down in terms of her style and the way she sees the world. Killing Me Softly, Fugee La and Ready or Not are also on this cd, which garnered them heavy acclaim.

    Summary: One of the best ever.
    Comment: Forever a classic. One of the best hip-hop albums around. Hell, one of the best albums around OVERALL.

    Too bad hip-hop/rap music isn't like this anymore.

    Summary: Wish I could give this more than 5 stars
    Comment: This is one of those albums that hit me the first time I listened to it, it hit me hard. The unique lyrical styles, and versitile production makes for an other worldly specie of Hip Hop. Very seldom do we get a piece of music like this. Music that's so honest, real, and rare. Lauryn's beatiful voice with dominant lyrics (sorry Wyclef fans, but she gets the gold for lyricism), Wyclefs lively charismatic delivery, and Pras's (very underrated) laid back smooth style. The three combined are almost too much for me.

    I couldn't help but read the negative reviews that people left for The Score. Don't listen to them, those are people that haven't EXPERIENCED this wonderful piece of music. This is an album I reccomend to ANY music fan. If you haven't already given it a shot, listen to it all the way through. Before you know it, you'll be sucked in like the rest of us Fugee heads. PEACE!
