The Score | Colored Vinyl

The Fugees' breakout second and final album, The Score, propelled the hiphop trio to worldwide superstar status and garnered a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, Best R&B Performance for 'Killing Me Softly' and a nomination for Album Of The Year. In addition to their runaway hip hop-stylized covers of Roberta Flack's 'Killing Me Softly' and Bob Marley's 'No Woman, No Cry,' the release is also home to the popular singles 'Fu-Gee-La' with its Teena Marie “Ooh La La” chorus and the Delfonics-sampled 'Ready or Not.' Wyclef, Pras and Lauryn Hill transcend 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. Hill herself described The Score as, '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 of 'Tommy', like what The Who did for rock music.'
