Description
| 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 Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

when i was 8 years old i got this album.
10 years later it's still tight, i listen to it everytime i want to
and i feel this is very good. this album is not just a season hit,
it's a classic, the kind you'd listen to in 20 , 40 years and think -
it's awesome.

I remember when this first came out 11 years ago I was in 8th grade and almost half the album was hit singles, and multi million copies were sold so I had to pick up the album again (I lost my old one). Wyclef, Lauren Hill and Pras defintiely regorouped after their 1st album didn't create much buzz, and this is the best work any of them have done, before or after the album. All 3 have very different styles but they blend them so well together through the whole album. With 15 songs (2 are remixes), you get 4 ok songs, 1 I skip, the rest are mostly real good songs. Geusts are on 4 songs, and Wyclef has 2 solo's and Lauren has 1. Production is nice as well, with the Fugees doing 10 of the 15 songs, Jean Forte does 2 songs, Diamond D , Salaam Remi and Handel Tucker each do 1 song. A must have album for hip-hop fans.

EXCELLENT MUSIC, BUT YOU HAVE TO LIKE RAP. THE LYRICS ARE A LITTLE GRAPHIC BUT NOT BAD. PARENTAL DISGRESSION IS ADVISED. BUT FOR THE MOST PART IS A GOOD CD.

Best CD ever. Love Lauren Hill, she is right up there with Eminem as far as rhyming is concerned.

After all of the hype, I decided I'd finally check the cd out for myself and while it is a pretty good rap album, lyric wise, nothing else really kept my interest. A majority of the beats sounded the same which was dull and dark. Some people may like dark music but I can't listen to the same simple music for a full album. As I said, the lyrics were pretty good but not enough to keep my attention. I'm not saying that this is a terrible album, but I'm not saying its a great one either. To me, its just a very overrated album. Very far from bad so I would suggest just listening to the samples before purchasing it.
