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 have thought deeply about the issues they raise. --Douglas Wolk

Would I have been happy with it?
Actually I remember listening to "Ready or Not" on the radion and MTV and really liking it. So yeah, it would have been a nice birthday gift."
""On their second album, the Fugees, led by Wyclef Jean, blend R&B and rap influences into an eclectic, politically aware sound on joints such as "Fu-Gee-La." But the track that grabbed everybody was the hip-hop-flavored cover of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly," showcasing the amazing pipes of Lauryn Hill.""
