PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The best-selling rap record in the world: ultra-cool but warrior in the soul, firm but never aggressive, and raised by Lauryn Hill's delicious voice. After a debut album classified in the ungrateful category œalternative rap, that is to say, gone almost unnoticed, the Fugees set the upper speed and literally break the shack in 1996. The Score succeeds in the dream connection of rap and reggae by combining root flavors and hip-hop minimalism: the impact is terrible. On this dozen mature and greyful songs, Wyclef, Pras and Lauryn create an unprecedented rap, popular and fragrant Haitian way. Because the patronymic of the group comes directly from the experience of refugees lived by the Haitian community (from which both of them come from). Almost entirely produced by the New York trio, the album was catapulted to the top of the hit-parades by the grace of the rap-gospel adaptation of a standard popularized in 1973 by Roberta Flack (œKilling Me Softly) and ends with the cover of Bob Marley's œNo Woman No Cry. AMAZON.CO.UK 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 have thought deeply about the issues they raise. --Douglas Wolk
