Timeless: The Making of Fugees 'The Score'

[@violetmartinez9642]

Man The Score is still one of the best albums ever made. It had lyrics, chemistry, and beats.

I don't know about the "Best" but I respect your opinion

[@nightwing1823]

There's not enough content on youtube and just talk in general about this album. One of my favorites!! Fucking ever!! My parents played this around me all the time as a little kid front to back in the car and at home. Early 2000's, some of my best memories of music include this album. One of my biggest inspirations today as a musician

[@PatrickObiang]

"THE SCORE" IS TIMELESS! BRAVO!

[@ThePhilomathe]

It's 2021 and this is still the only album I can listen to from skit 1 to Mister Mister. One of the greatest albums ever.

[@Okieant]

I was in 8th grade when this came out and I used to steal my Dad's CD player just to listen to this on repeat. I knew that whole skit with Talent in the Chinese restaurant by heart. Lauryn was just a monster in this album. Her verses on Ready or Not and How Many Mics are ridiculous.

[@TheDavid111089]

That basement should be a historic landmark.

[@ndujamz]

Family Business is one of my favourite track of all times.

[@jarrelely1126]

Pras remind me of Dwayne Wayne

[@nia_space]

One of the best album in the whole music industry.. thank you guys ❤️

[@feralLove]

Dang, John Forte and Saleem do not look a day over mid 20's, at most, in this documentary!! I remember my one daughter was 15 at the time this classic album came out when she brought a CD home and we were both big fans Immediately!! The Score still stands the test of time!!

[@staj]

Enough cannot be said about this Phenomenal Album... Lord. Huge shoutout to everyone involved, you made History. LEGACY INTACT!

[@danielrobinson7569]

My all time favorite album. Never watched this before, thanks hot97!

[@MONET8iAM]

Today's artists will barely be able to have stories like this because many are always sending over verses and beats as opposed to getting together to vibe out and create. I agree that this should be a regular segment or at least one a month.

[@MsRaquelD]

I was 16 when it came out!! Still listening :) #jerseygirl !!

[@KlasicRock]

Had no idea Akon had anything to do with the Fugees

[@avianjackson17]

Klasic Rock same.

[@dramahawkpromotions9621]

yup he sure was

[@ReckyD]

He sang that line on Fugeela... Call Mr. Martin, Tell Him to build the coffin... Crazy guy back then... This is nice to see

[@avianjackson17]

Recky D oh shiiiiit. Right

[@Nitelifebuzz]

"Call Mr Madden." Its a popular coroner/funeral home in Kingston, Jamaica. That phrase was very common in Jamaican sound clash culture & partially represents the dancehall influence on this album.

[@fantasma.b]

Classic. Still can go against any body of work up to today.

[@hoc1992]

Carlito Brigante yep

[@Ayplus]

Wow. Now I still have hope in Hot 97

[@BlackAmericanVet]

classic album and pivotal in my life

[@navigatingmadness180]

[@Classikh]

Listened to this for the first time this year. 🔥🔥

[@JCruz83]

THIS WAS SO EDUCATIONAL & DOPE! ONE OF MY FAV ALBUMS EVER

[@illlmatic4life981]

Great work Hot97, are you intending to do this for other 90's classics?

[@Guapiitooo]

they need to do one for Camp Lo "Uptown Saturday Night."

[@jarrelely1126]

@@Guapiitooo camp lo sound similar to the clipse

[@michaelwalker7271]

Nice work hot 97! This is definitely in your wheelhouse. You need to do more of these. It's like 30 for 30 for hip-hop.

[@beatsbykana]

when I first heard ready or not I remember being stunned by the flip, and the vibe and the bars. definitely dope still

[@garnetbey7400]

this 1 touch my heart deeply thanks Hot 97

[@dominikbnine6912]

One of the best!!! Classic.

[@ayotadhiambo]

I really like what Wyclef injected in the fugees musically, you could perform Hip Hop songs live!Not using playbacks from a DJ at a turntable.The concept of half live music has never been so clear more than now!Lauryn was the flower that made Fugees beautiful! Pras was the businessman. When the roles are clear for each group member, the whole group flourishes and they produce amazing work! Salaam Remi produced FuGee-La and did the Nappy Heads Remix!How old was he then? The Fugees are synonymous with the word energy! When they poured their souls into 'The Score' it was worth it!

[@williammarquez2552]

Imma keep it real Imma Say what nobody got the balls to say. Lauryn Hill should have been on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine as the most beautiful African-American woman in the world.

[@because_the_internet]

You think I open a restaurant in the middle of the hood and don't know what's going on? I fucking represent!

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

the fugees the score awesome dope classic album favorite song

[@fernandog.1575]

that's crazy I cannot believe music was recorded like that in that small place

One of the most played tapes I bumped in my ride back then.OneLove!

[@lordg3803]

Thanks for this. Brings back too much memories. Damn.

[@heirbornelite]

Please do more of these Hot 97

MC John forte and Lauryn Hill are the MVPs of this masterpiece far as lyricism and MCing

[@altdelet3778]

Thats crazy I love those verses on Cowboys and Family Business! Glad to see the face to the voice.

[@premoview4957]

Do a google search for the rapper Omega. he was real "Booga Basement"...."E.O."...."Illtown"...."Dirty Jersey"...."90's underground" contributor to those times. He has dozens of songs but "the industry" also was a force that either he or they could not handle

[@wameezy]

People need to understand the reason the Fugees and Lauryn hill will never make another album. The energy of music and life during this time was just different!!! And u can see the passion and hard work that went into creating that Score album!!! They did it with a lot less money than most artists spend now to record a million dollar plus album plus they were all hungry and it was the love of the music vs chasing the money. That album has them paid for life and transcended what it needed to the masses. why try and recreate something better when that album is the pinnacle I honestly don’t think they would be able to outdo that score album. But why need to.

[@Vuer89]

This is dope! More of these please.

[@toddferguson7626]

i haven't watched the whole video yet (I love the Fugees!) but I have a request of Hot 97. Whom ever does the editing of Hot 97's videos: could you choose a better consistent metering method for the volume on your uploads for a calibrated mastered playback range? It's not every video, but a lot of them tend to be annoyingly quiet (on every device at max vol.). It's a finicky request as they are just KZbin videos but it seemed like something a radio station filled with people who take sound very seriously would like to hear feedback on.

[@1LORENZOUTUBE]

I remember hearing the tune at the end credits of Stephen Kings 1992, Sleep Walkers (Boadicea) before the fugees. I ALWAYS said if somebody uses it in a song it’s gonna be fire. Years later, fugees use it in a song! 🤯

[@DJacksonII]

HOT 97 got a winner with this series

[@ketienne1021]

Akon got locked up and missed out on the fugees. In the end it turned out good.

[@keithgiles3334]

He made so much Bank off of signing Lady Gaga. Akon stays paid still!

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

K Etienne Akon is on the album. He had a video back in 96 but the single was a failure. He got locked up in 98.

[@joetwinz]

Great video Hot97

[@BOSFreddy]

Dope!!! Definitely one of my favorite albums

[@iqfromthe2152]

Hip Hop still has not matched the Score. This was hip hop’s “Thriller”. The Carnival, and The Miseducation make them the best ever! Nothing beats Afro-Caribbean flavor.

[@ESPmattESP]

17:52 he’s talking about sampling “fool yourself” by little feat to use for killing me softly. That was awesome I’m glad I watched this video.

[@Justice098]

I remember when the score came out. I was 13 front and center at the record store the day it dropped. It was like thriller in terms of the effect it had at the time

[@amontri3246]

i remember being young hearing this album for the first time I knew instantly this was going to be dope not because I was into music but something special about an energy that you could not deny like wu tang album 36 chambers same thing music is different now you don't get that feeling anymore

[@theundergroundjuicenyc9539]

amon tri i agree... its that transparency

[@GrotesqueHyydra]

Favorite album ever

[@djwreck1200]

AMAZING piece right here! not sure if it was on purpose or not but the group wasnt in this vid but hearing from the producers themselves to me at least is just as great! hot 97 hope you make this a regular segment.

[@bennyfoxmore9506]

wow, I used to run with these guys. what a time.

[@jarrelely1126]

You from Newark?

[@langmoran3633]

That was really good! It was like a learning session for me. It almost makes me want to do researcher on the real founders of Hip Hop to get a better understanding of how everyone links and the hours and years they put in at there craft to make them who they are now! I believe Hip Hop changed America and also a community that didn't have much to call their own until Hip Hop. I feel as if it's a culture, a culture that stepped up and got a voice in the world. Thanks for sharing

[@KlasicRock]

The one person who disliked the video is the one who lauryn took the "oh la la la" verse off their record! #hater

So. Clinton Ave. East Orange New Jersey USA. The "Booga Basement" something I witnessed and experienced that was purely b'cuz of God and man. Something now years later, looking back I can see was magical. This documentary is missing a very important factor, and that is the artist Omega on the song Family Business

The Score was a cool album but not the best. The Fugees is a little overrated. They had classics but no one plays them as much as Pac, Biggie and others and no im not a young kid who was born in the 90s. i was born in 88

[@scholageemusic9373]

there songs woke up more people than fugees. I actually like underground but fugees just wasnt all that entirely

[@djangelortiz]

Bruh you were 8 when this album came out. Your opinion on this album is irrelevant. The impact this album had at that specific moment in hip hop was incredible and unlike any other sound at that time.

[@scholageemusic9373]

DJ Angel Ortiz ok? i was 8 when pac and biggie was out too lol

[@BeatBodega]

It is non sense to compare biggie and 2pac with fugees of first... they all unique

[@razrsliq7623]

Dude you were a baby when it was popping. im from Nigeria and the score was just as massive as pac and big
