180-gram double LP reissue
With four massive hit singles and 17 million copies shifted worldwide, the Fugees did, indeed, score big time in 1996 withĀ The Score.
A breath of fresh air in the gangsta-dominated mid-'90s,Ā the Fugees' breakthrough album,Ā The Score, marked the beginning of a resurgence in alternative hip-hop. Its left-field, multi-platinum success proved there was a substantial untapped audience with an appreciation for rap music but little interest in thug life.
The Score's eclecticism, social consciousness, and pop smarts drew millions of latent hip-hop listeners back into the fold, showing just how much the music had grown up. It not only catapultedĀ the FugeesĀ into stardom, but also launched the productive solo careers ofĀ Wyclef JeanĀ andĀ Lauryn Hill, the latter of whom already ranks as one of the top female MCs of all time based on her work here.
