Description
“The Score lives in that narrow archipelago between the end of the boom-bap Golden Age and the rise of the Jiggy Era. It’s both the last of the old tradition and the first of the next generation. It helped bring hip-hop to the mainstream without the crass commercialism that mars most attempts. No East Coast hip-hop album had previously combined dulcet melodies with such hard beats, crossing over with experimental pop that catered to the masses. It’s the most safe, seditious record ever made.”
– Jeff Weiss

Quotes from Jeff Weiss’ Digital Liner Notes
The Score is the classic album as astral comet. A séance with those encased by concrete and those six feet deep, the lone group masterpiece from a crew who conquered the world, then dissolved to pursue parenthood, spiritual ecstasy, global philanthropy, and the occasional motorcycle joy ride in a speedo.
If you want to know how special the Fugees were, think about the Black Eyes Peas. By adding Fergie to a sputtering “real hip-hop” crew led by a dreadlocked frontman, will.i.am. replicated their formula, subtracted the soul, and still managed the lasting world domination that the Fugees passed on. The Fugees created an archetype and promptly abandoned it. Do you really think we would have tolerated “My Humps” in a world where The Fugees were still working?
The Score was inescapable in every American high school: from nerds to jocks, cheerleaders to teachers. 6.1 million people are often wrong, but they weren’t this time. It sold 17 million copies across the globe, going international in a way that pre-figured the next decade’s globalization of hip-hop. But how did it happen? How do you go from second-tier tax write-offs to one of the greatest groups of all-time in just two years? How do you win a Best Rap Album Grammy and never properly follow it up?
