Maybe it's just because The Score is one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums in history but Blunted On Reality is still better than most things I've heard. I think people started to realize that just because The Score is the masterpiece - there's no reason to sleep on B.O.R. L.Boogie always kills it with her verses - there's just never been anyone like her (male or female) before or since. Whenever I meet someone who doesn't know anything about Hip-Hop and is turned off by all of today's crap - I show them Fugees, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Arrested Development, Common, Mos Def and all the rest. It's like a new religion for them and I've put them on the right path lol

The Fugees were also overtly political from the start - not just inward looking (i.e. strictly US issues), but truly international. You pay a price for such positioning within the industry, and they knew and accepted this. The Fugees may have shared the same perspective as the groups you mentioned (coming from the same US black experience), but their worldview, as evidenced in their music, was definitely unique at the time.

I'm from Chicago but I remember thinking Jersey was so dope when it came to rappers...Jersey is basically NYC metro but they definitely had their own distinct style. Now I see rappers like Fetty Wap who is from Jersey and u would never ever know because he sounds like he's from Bankhead. Like are their anymore original artists from the NYC metro area that are true to the landscape but still commercially appealing? The answer in 2015 as of right now is no. And think NYC metro is over 20 million people and there's zero rappers out today under 25 putting out this type of vibe. Yeah somebody might give me one or two names but back then u had too many mc's popping up out the sewer with their own style and too many records you had to get. Back then u could go boutique shopping for hip hop tapes and cd's if u lived in an urban area. I remember back in like 95 my dad threw out all my tapes I dubbed because that's the only thing I cared about was hip hop. Sadly, public education was not sparking my brain and I had like 100's of tapes with all type of rare blends like this song. I got reconnected to this song by listening to Power 102.9 in Atlanta which plays NOTHING but classic hip hop music hosted by DJ Nabs. So if u live in a big urban city y'all should start requesting classic hip hop stations because the music and culture is not going to have a rebirth. If u weren't around back then u missed out period.

I grew up in an avg size town in italy and kids my age were laughing at me cuz i used to take the train and go 2 hours away from my home town where there was a nato base. and because of that, a guy had the brilliant idea to open a record store where you could buy all the dope stuff that was on in US. that's where i started to get into pharcyde, disable planet, talib kweli, digital underground, scarface, etc. I started a trend. close ppl to me were grateful because i introduced them to sth unique and super kool. we are all nostalgic. when i moved to london uk, that's where i got a deep immersion in the environment and man, those were the good years. move to canada after, i've never had the same quality and feeling i had when i was in london. and nowadays, when my ears hear stuff like drake or others, my brain asks for mercy. i would pay whatever just to go back to the 90s. i want rap pages, i want MTV yo raps. had to go beyond my reach to manage to have a taste of this back in the day.

If you have a song that you really, really love - if you've created something and you work with a producer who isn't 'feelin it', would you change the song? Especially if the producer says 'try this or try that or go back and rewrite this section and make it more relevant to what's happening socially in the world'. My point is everyone compromises to some degree so why do some people get slammed for it? I am not a Nikki Minaj fan but I ain't mad at her for being true to herself. Just my two cents.

Was always a rock listener.. anything with guitar was my jam. Especially from the nineties. Loved nirvana, smashing pumpkins, Bush, 311, and sublime. Now, it wasn't until living in Tokyo that I was turned on to jazz for they love to play that in stores and restaurants here. Thought jazz was alright but never considered how monumental this music truly was from the culture to the influence it had. That got me into lo-fi and old rap and I thank god it did. Never tasted such flavor that is found in all music until I tapped into these genre and gave it an honest try when I was finally ready to. This being said I just unlocked more culture that was waiting for me and others that haven't sought it out yet when the lyric "never had to battle with my bulletproof vest"... always thought it was Sublime's 'What I Got' was the first to phrase it. I was mistaken. So for any late hip-hop bloomers or young ones that find this comment. I hope you keep looking into other good artists and unlocking more connections because musical tessellations like I've explained are a musicians gold. I am so happy for hip-hop.

John Bell Nicki does though, right? Quality over quantity. Between Lauryn's work with the Fugees, her classic solo debut, that MTV live album was RAW ( yeah I said it. LOL), and her guest appearances...I've seen enough to know ain't nobody really seeing her. ESPECIALLY when comes to spitting about real life.

Nicki is quality, people mistake singles or whats on the radio for body of work. Nobody has done it like Nicki and while I still think Lauryn Hill is one of the best female emcees to grace the mic, none of em can match what Nicki has done in the game. And she spits that fire, you serious?

Yes Yes yall well I'm a Libra yall!

This verse was my first introduction to the masterful lyricist Lauryn Hill.

She’s good at singing and Rapping and that so within five always life’s about her.

All the members of the fugees have criminally underrated bars.

Well, I'm a LEO ya'll, Love the Fugees and Lauryn Hill!!!!

[Wyclef] Yo Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday? And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind taking Saturday-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay Round up de posse, Fugee comin around the way [Wyclef] Yo, hey nappy head [Lauryn] Yo whashup? [Wyclef] Whatchu got there? [Lauryn] Hah, I got some of that lyrical cheeba cheeba [Wyclef] Worrrrrd? A cheeba cheeba y'all, well I'm a Libra y'all A cheeba cheeba y'all, well I'm a Libra y'all [Verse 1: Wyclef] You wanna battle swing I bring commanding men like I was king In all your dreams I write the horror flick of Stephen King Cling to false also those papers say ock I got tired of the fat lady so I sing to my own opera Ba-lang-balang-balang-to-de-man-de-rock-cause I love thee If you live by the sword you will be die by the gun Cause all guys tell lies, and more girls commits it I was ordered to Code Red, but now I'm chillin with A Few Good Men Assassination on the kid from the capitol I never play the soap opera but now I'm a General Hospital Condition critical, spirit over who's the physical So if I die, catch me at the funeral I'll fly away, ohh glory With a mic in my hand to a land where only God knows me And the angels write raps on holy paper I said I'm lookin for Jesus, he said take the escalator One flight up, is guaranteed you'll be there My sister'd be there, my mother'd be there So, Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday? And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind taking Saturday-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay Round up de posse, Fugee comin around de way [Verse 2: Lauryn Hill] I don't puff blunts so I always got my breath Never had to battle with a bullet proof vest They call me cock-weasel but I, still cave a chest I don't wear Jheri curls cause I'm nah from the West No disrespect to the West, true indeed I rock it to the East, the East is the seed To see that them days back, yo sheepskins and Hot Tracks Peace to Mr. Magic, things are getting tragic Now we on some new stuff, I never feared the Ku Kluk My own clan is actin up, I blame it on the Phillie blunt Whatcha gonna do, kids are acting oooohhhh Hill is gettin fed up, yo where's the coporate at A Mister Three Piece Suit Check the square roots, Girbauds and Timberland boots Nahhhh that's the serpents, and know them garment tips I got a head full of problems and a hand full of nappy roots I feel a Jones' comin down, yo I... (I got the slang to make the chitty-bang-bang a-rid-dang-de-dang, the nappy head bang) No I, got hte slang to make the chitty-bang-bang a-rid-dang-de-dang, the nappy heads bang (Yo Mona Lisa, could I get a date on Friday And if you're busy, I wouldn't mind taking Saturday-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay Round up de posse, Fugee comin round de way Ay-ay-ay, ay-ay-ay Nappy heads in the zone and we're not goin home!) [Verse 3: Prazwell, Wyclef] Hey yo a battle is a battle but a battle's not a battle if it'sssssssssss snake doesn't rattle Cause my style's as old as a reptile As slick as a new Nile, as new as a new child So come follow me to the land of Abraham This land's your land, this land's my land The blacker the black man, the better the next man (Yo some nappy heads need to check they necks for red) Ihhhh, feel injection Put the needle to your skin feel reality's heroin You maintain to put a negro in pain you used to diss me "Oh you wanna hang with old Eddie Kane?" (The Five Heartbeats) Ain't nuttin wrong, snap your head to the song Word is bond, you get wrong, I'll have you sing like Louis Armstrong And I say to myself, what a wonderful world But what the hell was so wonderful bout cotton in the farm Mr. Slaaaaaave Maaaaan! The harder they come, the harder they fall, so come one come all Don't stall or I'ma stick you like a voodoo doll Doors locked stop drawer for the count who drops You slept on a kid from the boondocks Out of Motorville land of the ill kill Bellsburg Viking so you know I'm top ranking Phil Some say who coming like like the yuma but save the rumor Cause I've been rockin ever since eighty-two when I used to rock my Pumas...

Ah yes, that golden era where you couldn't say "cheba cheba y'all" on the radio.

Nice song to pump while you cruising at night with city lights east NY ...

The baseline in this song is fucking wicked!

this song randomly just popped into my head today (july 8, 2021). had to pull it up and get blessed by it once again! 27 years later STILL a hip-hop CLASSIC!!!

weeks away fro 2024 and still waiting for a reunion concert

Wyclef style is crazy.. all over

Why are we not producing new good music like this anymore

Listening to this in 2021 and really giving Lauren Hill props, didn't need surgery or to show off her body and her talent spoke for itself, damn! Makes me a little sad how far we've strayed from pure intellectual talent and skills

Nobody has flava like Lauryn, nobody. Not even close to this day

feel like method man owes some of his adlib style to lauryn ya no thinkin bout it

Happy Nappy 20th Anniversary everyone! Fugees - one of the best music groups of all time regardless of genre. Thank god they came along. And no, most Hip Hop artists do not or never have promoted dark skin black women in their videos that's why a lot of people literally 'bugged out' when they saw Lauryn. Yes - dark skin black women are equal in the 'really pretty' or 'glamorous' tag. If people needed Lauryn to show them, then it is their shame and our gain...
