Description:

The Score is the second album by the Fugees, released in 1996, following their 1994 debut Blunted on Reality. The album features many aspects of alternative hip hop music that would come to dominate the scene in the late 1990s. Among these are reggae and soul influences, female vocals and "conscious" lyrics dealing with social problems rather than "gangsta" tales. The production was mostly handled by the Fugees themselves and Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis, but Salaam Remi, John Forté, Shawn King and Diamond D also produce. The guest raps are from Outsidaz' members Rah Digga, Young Zee and Pacewon as well as Omega, John Forte and Diamond D. In 2001, the album was re-released as The Complete Score, comprising the original album and The Bootleg Version, a compilation of b-sides and rarities.

    When I think of hip hop I think of a few influential names, one of them being The Fugees. The Score is one of my favorite albums. From their covers of Killing Me Softly and No Woman, No Cry to Cowboys and The Mask, this album is something to nod your head to. There is something about the Fugees that makes their music even more appealing at night. I highly recommend this album to anybody who likes "smart" hip hop, meaningful lyrics where every other word isn't "fuck" or "bitch."

    Love this cd. Lauryn Hill is a wonderful singer and songwriter. Wyclef, Lauryn and Pras were an excellent blend of hip hip and soul.

    from 60's to the 90's music just sounded so much more serious and real...so much more connected and true...so much more romantic, fun, political, vocally entertaining and grounded in "real" artistry and this album is the pinnacle of all that in one shot...

    I loved and still do love this album. It reminds me of the day when I loved to ride around just blaring it. LOL Those were some good times.

    This is a great CD. Lauryn Hills soulful voice along with the grooving hip hop beats are a winner. The lyrics give you something to ponder.

    This album came out when I was in high school, and I still play it when I need that extra boost of energy. This is a classic!

    I've had this CD since it first came out when I was in high school. I love The Fugees and wish they would reunite to make more beautiful and thoughtful music.
