"The Score" is celebrated for its deep album cuts as much as its hit singles. Here is the standard tracklist of this classic album:
Stream on Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal for instant access to the deluxe version, which includes bonus remixes like the Clark Kent remix of "Fu-Gee-La."
The album functions as a cinematic experience, complete with skits that paint a vivid picture of mid-90s urban life and the pressures of the music industry. Several standout tracks define the narrative arc of the project. "Fu-Gee-La"
In February 1996, a Haitian-American trio from New Jersey released an album that sounded like no other hip-hop record before it. The Score by the Fugees—Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel—wasn’t just a commercial blockbuster (selling over 22 million copies worldwide). It was a manifesto of diaspora, genre alchemy, and raw vulnerability. At a time when West Coast gangsta rap and East Coast boom-bap dominated, the Fugees smuggled acoustic guitars, Nina Simone covers, and Creole patois onto the charts. To hear The Score today is to witness refugees turning their displacement into art’s greatest advantage.
