The Score [PA] by The Fugees

Pros: The Fugees went for a universal flava, and this album universally pleases.
Cons: I could have done without the two remixes and the Bob Marley impersonation.

What Didn't Make the Top 10 10: Me Against the World 9: E. 1999 Eternal ...

Pros: Lauryn Hill, beats, guests, universal appeal.
Cons: Skits, a couple of questionable remixes.

“It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you Without a strong rhyme to step to" - Rakim Hello Epinions, its been a while hasn’t it? The last time I put out a review was in 2005, a whole 3 years ago, and I’ve been ...

Pros: One of the best Rap albums of all time.
Cons: The Fugees are no longer together.

One of the funniest things I remember about Lauryn Hill is her describing their first in-store promotion for the Fugees debut album Blunted On Reality. She tells how the store was so empty that Pras, L, and Clef spent most of their time...

Pros: Classic Hip-Hop Music from the Fugees... EVERYTHING is Great
Cons: Everything that came after it (except a few of Lauren and Wyclef's joints)

Every once in a while a group will come along in music that will deliver something completely unexpected, lightyears away from anything that was released at the time. Then of course, the unexpected happens, and the group will split up after releasing an ...

Pros: Sounds good cranked up and blasting out of my speakers.
Cons: None!

I have this idee fixe on music that makes it a necessity to listen to pleasing sounds. That is why I have to take on my daily dose of music any time; day or night. It is music that contains precious stones in it that win my approbation. So I have no ...

Pros: -
Cons: -

Note: I started writing this review about a week ago. It ended up getting postponed because the new NIN album came out about three weeks before I was expecting it to. Thus, the dates and events that transpire henceforth are a bit sketchy. Also warning, ...

Pros: Original, fresh and fun
Cons: - - - - -

When the Fugees came out rap was about 40s, lowriders, 9mm glocks and b1tches and hoes. Rap was ruled by the heavyweights like Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube and was pretty heavy, violent stuff, and although I do defend their right to rap about what...

Pros: organic... the way music's supposed to be
Cons: a follow-ups is long awaited

There are very few discs in the history of popular music that don't ever deviate from their cause and start talking about fast cars, fast love and fast women (or alternatively, Jennifer Lopez).

Let me explain.
If you put on Equal Rights...

Pros: Wyclef and Lauren are at the top of their craft here.
Cons: If you don't have time for multiple listens, some of it will pass you by.

There is a moment on one of the Fu-Gee-La tracks where you could swear Bob Marley had returned from the dead. Given the modes of production these days maybe he did. In any case, if you are someone who is not rap-hip-hop-inclined, this is the album for...

Pros: A Revolution in CD Form
Cons: No Immediate Sequel...

Have you ever walked into a store and said to yourself, "Gosh, I want a rap album that is going to absolutely blow my mind away". Look no further; here is the rap revelation brought to you by Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel. After the...

Pros: origional for once
Cons: can't think of any

I love this CD. I used to be heavy into rap, but now it seems like it the quality just isn't what it was like 7 years ago, except this. This album is soo much better than there first CD, it's not just copying of other rappers styles (a lot of Das EFX),...
