How do people look back on Fugees The Score?

[SAJ!!]

Overrated then and overrated now.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Only remember the singles.

as with the rest of the public. Album is CLASSIC off impact only. Non-single album cuts meant nothing back then and STILL DONT. Never heard anyone bumping or discussing the album cuts ever in real life.

 

[LucaBrasi]

I personally have a copy in my collection, CLASSIC album




Edit- Matter fact I'mma put it on right now

 

[phatphuck]

not a classic, just one of those cool albums you could listen to from time to time

 

[FlyRy]

fugee la was so good it was on the album 3 times

 

[mozichrome]

i've only heard 2 Fugees song in my life.
never liked the group

 

[Walt]

Always viewed it asa corny pop album, on some hip hop ABBA shyt. Super accessible, mostly eh, and cursed the public with decades of one of the corniest nikkas in hip hop, music, and world history in Clef Claude Von Clef.

 

[jadillac]

Didnt like it at all.

I remember I ordered it thru BMG where you got several CD's for like 1 cent.

I HATED 'Killing Me Softly', never understood why it became such a big hit since it wasn't an original song and didnt feature an amazing vocal performance. and they playd the HELL out of it on The Box.

Only song I think I liked was "Cowboy"......never understood the hype for the rest of the album/singles. I have the CD somewhere(couldnt tell you where exactly) but I have NONE of the song on my Ipod or anywhere in my mp3 music collection.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Classic album, but I probably wouldn't fukk with it much today..

 

[Trill Bellamy]

I just remember Lauryn fryin' them nikkas on every track

 

[ThaRealness]

Its true that the lyrics are corny but if you dont fukk with the beats.. I dont even know what to say.

It's not possible to not atleast have heard Fu-Gee-La, Ready or Not and Killing Them Softly. That is, if you're atleast 20 years of age, but even then...

As Lauryn said:

So while you're imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone
And defacating on your microphone.

This is also a gem:

My circle, it can't be broken, open, cut-throatin', provokin'
Record promotin', tokens chokin' on they words like smoke
And 'cause we soft spoken, doesn't mean that we've forgotten
Your bootie smells rotten and one day you will be gotten
And see jokers is scatter-brained, their focus is unrestrained
My army is trained, you never find us beefin' in vain
'Cause I've seen fire and I've seen rain
You claim fame, while modest nikkas remain
I can judge a character like Ito judge a verdict
And if you bringin' threats I give you sex if I ain't heard it
See poppin' shyt's about your attitude and how you word it
I've seen the biggest nikkas on the block get murdered
And they deserved it or so the beast said when they served it
That shyt is nervous so what's my purpose?
Family, we must preserve it
Your number's retired, I hope you like the hell fires
You'll be screamin', "Murder, she wrote" like Chaka Demus and Pliars

 

[DaveyDave]

what i remember the most is people who never listened to Hip Hop in their life all of a sudden loved their music because of Killing Me Softly.

That's almost every album ever released. The singles are most likely going to be the most talked about songs from an album. Singles are like a point of reference because it's what most are going to be familiar with even if they don't know the album.
