My Thoughts: This is one of my favorite hip hop albums. The Fugees basically only have 2 albums, this is their second one and after it they all went in different directions, Lauren Hill's direction being -> making one of the other greatest hip hop & R&B albums ever then followed by a quick stop in crazy town, which is the rumor for why the Fugees haven't really reunited although there have been many an attempt. But this album is just amazing tour de force of three incredible lyricists and rappers.
Reminds me of: driving around in the K Car & the Bonneville.
Random Fact:
The track "Ready or Not" samples Enya's "Boadicea". Initially this sample was uncredited, and Enya was prepared to sue for copyright infringement, however decided not to when she discovered that the Fugees were not gangsta rappers. ~ (wikipedia)
Ready or Not
Fu-Gee-La
