Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
Their remake of "Killing Me Softly" was the hit, but that's only the beginning of the story. 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've thought deeply about the issues they raise. --Douglas Wolk

4 out of 5 stars The Score-Fugees cd   December 2, 2008
L. Clapp (Silver Spring, MD)
I had this cd previously but it got misplaced. Me wanting to even purchase another one should tell you what I think of it but I'm going to put it in laymen's terms. This is one of my all-time favorite cds. My favorite track is number 4, Zealots. That is one of Lauryn Hill's best raps ever. She truly breaks it down in terms of her style and the way she sees the world. Killing Me Softly, Fugee La and Ready or Not are also on this cd, which garnered them heavy acclaim.


5 out of 5 stars One of the best ever.   November 27, 2008
ph2072 (New York City)
Forever a classic. One of the best hip-hop albums around. Hell, one of the best albums around OVERALL.

Too bad hip-hop/rap music isn't like this anymore.



5 out of 5 stars This is the best album ever!   October 9, 2008
Elizabeth LaTrace
The Score by the Fugees is the most classic, amazing albums of the 90s from hip hop! If you loved Killing Me Softly, buy this album and expand your love for Lauryn Hill and the rest of the Fugees!


5 out of 5 stars long live the refugee camp   September 17, 2008

altough this album is old school its definetly a blue print that many should follow what I like about the album is a rare mix of reggea,hip-hop
rap and r&b and half the album were major hits wish anyone would bring back the taste of the rufugee camp and many say the sly & robbie mix was akon first song well all I hope you enjoy this album it is a must have if you dont have it.



5 out of 5 stars Wish I could give this more than 5 stars   August 12, 2008
Supreme Clientele (U.S. of A.)
This is one of those albums that hit me the first time I listened to it, it hit me hard. The unique lyrical styles, and versitile production makes for an other worldly specie of Hip Hop. Very seldom do we get a piece of music like this. Music that's so honest, real, and rare. Lauryn's beatiful voice with dominant lyrics (sorry Wyclef fans, but she gets the gold for lyricism), Wyclefs lively charismatic delivery, and Pras's (very underrated) laid back smooth style. The three combined are almost too much for me.

I couldn't help but read the negative reviews that people left for The Score. Don't listen to them, those are people that haven't EXPERIENCED this wonderful piece of music. This is an album I reccomend to ANY music fan. If you haven't already given it a shot, listen to it all the way through. Before you know it, you'll be sucked in like the rest of us Fugee heads. PEACE!
