For the next hour or so, beats bump, lyrics flow, and heads will nod whether you want them to or not. Right when the chilled-out first beats of вЂRed IntroвЂ™ drop, you know youвЂ™re in for a different hip-hop experience. In my defense,В IвЂ™d never listened to The ScoreВ from beginning to end. Add The Score to that list.В While IвЂ™m not ready to vault Fugees into Nirvana territory, I can say that I was wrong in writing off The Score asВ hip-pop drivel wrapped around a couple of dynamite singles. I openly admit that my stubbornness has prevented me from experiencing a lot of great music and musicians in their primes. I refused to listen to Nirvana until after Kurt Cobain was dead for the same reason вЂ“ and The Score was getting a ton of airplay in 1996.В I know вЂ¦ my loss.

Plus, IвЂ™m stubborn as hell and refuse to listen to music when I feel like itвЂ™s being force-fed. My massive Wu-Tang obsession at the time left me believing that Fugees were not hard enough for hip-hop. The Score just didnвЂ™tВ do it for me when it was released. I wasnвЂ™t heartbroken when Fugees went their separate ways. And a follow-up to The Score never materialized. The group wouldnвЂ™t perform together for another seven years. By 1997, Fugees members Pras, Lauryn Hill, and Wyclef Jean were all working on solo projects. Almost as soon as they hit, the groupвЂ™s fractured infrastructure began to show. And for a fleeting moment in the mid-90s, Fugees were the biggest act on the planet, touring to sold out arenas and snagging a couple of Grammys вЂ“ back when that still sort of meant something. With breakout hits in tracks вЂReady Or NotвЂ™ and вЂKilling Me Softly With His SongвЂ™, the album went on to massive crossover success, finding a home with jocks and hardcore kids alike and selling over 17 million copies world-wide.
