This is Michael Mixerr. Tonight I will do an album review on The Score by Fugees.
How Many Mics is the Fugees posse cut. How Many Mics is very street rap/freestyle rap oriented. Not too many can do what the Fugees can do the right way.
Fu-Gee-La comes with an upbeat reggae dancehall melody. Elements of heavy percussion and rhythmic pianos are added to this reggae melody on top of Haitian accents. The track Fu-Gee-La describes the troubling lifestyle of a refugee. Fu-Gee-La samples Ooh La La La by Teena Marie. The mood however ever seems to be fairly dark.
The Fugees rendition of No Woman, No Cry is absolutely beautiful. The The Fugees rendition of No Woman, No Cry is a tribute Bob Marley’s No Woman, No Cry. The acoustic arrangements match up with the vocals well!
Mista Mista has an upbeat reggae dancehall melody. You can feel this reggae melody easily as the Fugees take you on a reggae tour. Reggae meets rap on Mista Mista. Mista Mista in some fashion is a tribute to the reggae music genre.
The Score is one of the greatest albums of all time! (Not to mention the greatest album from 1996.) You can listen to this album without hardly skipping any tracks. The production value is well arranged. The volume is set at an equal level on the equilibrium. So the listening experience is enjoyable.
However after this album, the Fugees never recorded another album ever. The Score and Waiting To Inhale to me was telling the market that rap groups were falling apart and no longer popular as in the mid 90's.
I rate this album, The Score, 5/5*****!!
