Product description No Description Available.Genre: Soul/R&BMedia Format: Compact DiskRating: PARelease Date: 13-FEB-1996 .com 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

One of the Greats
The Fugees are one of Hip Hop's gems in the entire genre. No other group was as spiritually uplifting, and no other group before or after the era of the Fugees was creating this kind of blend of funk, reggae, R&B and hip hop all at once. All three members with the de facto Wyclef Jean, Pras and of course the impeccable Lauryn Hill have incredible chemistry together that is undeniably captivating. As much as I give praise to the lyricism of Wyclef and Pras, the star of the album is without a doubt Lauryn Hill, with her cunning lyrical ability filled with swagger, tenacity and demand for attention; not to mention her distinct soulful singing. With this album, we see the upcoming of a star that would be Lauryn Hill, with female emcees on the decline since the late 80's and early 90's along with MC Lyte and Queen Latifah, I would consider Lauryn Hill the top Female MC of all time with incredible talent. This album was created as a listenable movie filled with skits that tie the entire album together. The overall sound of the album is diverse but has an undertone of a hardcore New York backdrop that is similar to many of the mafioso-themed Hip Hop albums that were released during the times such as Biggie's "Ready to Die" or Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...".The album as a whole is filled with social commentary of the human conscious, going through life with contemplations of their surroundings and finding one self. My personal favorites would have to be "Ready or Not", "The Mask", "Fu-gee-la" and "Killing Me Softly". The production is rich of colorful instrumentations mixed with 90's boom bap, jazzy samples, funk and reggae. This is one of Hip Hop's best that any music fan should own.

The last and Best Fugees album, Fives Stars!
Very happy that I was able to buy "The Score" album by hip-hop/R&B super group The Fugees on Amazon, Featuring Hip Hop Greats Wyclef Jean, Pras, And of course the main star of the album in my opinion Lauryn Hill or Ms. Lauryn Hill as she is known by now?, Who would go on to be a Superstar in her own right for a short time with her one and only solo album "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" (1998), Which sold millions of albums and would sweep the Grammys, This album was a great preview of what was to come for Lauryn Hills career, My favorite songs on "The Score" includes the hits "Ready or Not", "No Woman, No Cry" ( A Bob Marley cover), Fu-Gee-La, And the Roberta Flack cover "Killing me softly", A true Rap classic!, One of the best Hip-hop albums of all time and also the Fugees best selling album.

Some surface noise
Can't complain for the price I paid, but it does seem as though a lot of these reviews are right. Even on a nicer table with a good needle there is still some surface noise.It's a must have to any collection so if you can look at this as buying a used NM- or VG then you're set.
