Fugees – The Score (Vinyl)

The Fugees’breakout second and final album,The Score, propelled the hip-hop trio to worldwide superstar status and garnered a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, Best R&B Performance forKilling Me Softlyand a nomination for Album Of The Year.

In addition to their runaway hip hop-stylized covers ofRoberta Flack’sKilling Me SoftlyandBob Marley’sNo Woman, No Cry,the release is also home to the popular singlesFu-Gee-Lawith itsTeena MarieOoh La Lachorusand theDelfonics-sampledReady or Not.

Wyclef,Pras, andLauryn Hilltranscend hip hop cliches here by making musical variety, gender diverse points of view and a socially conscious message accessible, ultimately resulting in one of the most distinctive and best selling hip-hop albums of all-time.Hillherself describedThe Scoreas, “An audio film. It’s like how radio was back in the 1940s. It tells a story, and there are cuts and breaks in the music. It’s almost like a hip-hop version ofTommy, like whatThe Whodid for rock music.”
