Fugees - The Score

Available for 24 days

Fugees' 1994 debut album Blunted on Reality was a commercial and critical failure, and that could have been the end of the story. But, given a chance to make a follow-up, the band ignored the pressure they were under, and let their natural creative instincts shape their direction. The result was one of the defining albums of hip-hop, and album so strong that the band never followed it up, and the shadow it casts over the genre still looms large today. This episode of Long Player delves into the cinematic world of The Score, the record that saved Fugees from obscurity.
