After the relative non-success of their debut, \u003ci\u003eBlunted On Reality\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eChrist Schwartz\u003c\/strong\u003e, head of \u003cstrong\u003eRuffhouse Records\u003c\/strong\u003e, decided to give the group another chance. In 1995 he gave the Fugees an advance which they used to set up a studio in Wyclef's uncle's basement. They spent the second half of the year recording the album, producing it mostly themselves. There are a few tracks that had some outside assists on production, most notably the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=Salaam+Remi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalaam Remi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e produced \"Fu-Gee-La\" and the title track which was produced by \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=Diamond+D\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e (dig the \u003cstrong\u003eCymande\u003c\/strong\u003e sample on that one). The rest is pretty much history. There were three singles from that album that are probably permanently burned into everyone's mind who's old enough to remember the mid-90s. \"Fu-Gee-La\" kicked things off to be followed by \"Killing Me Softly,\" which arguably helped Lauryn go off on her own. The final single was the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.sbs\/search?q=Enya\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnya\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e sampling \"Ready Or Not,\" with it's equally-memorable over the top video. The sky was pretty much the limit for the Fugees. Unfortunately their relationships deteriorated over time and all that we're left with is their crowning achievement, \u003ci\u003eThe Score\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack double vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Columbia 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Kool Moby 07\/0214\u003c\/h6\u003e.","brand":"Fugees","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":811478333,"sku":"lp-6121","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/fugees-thescore.jpg?v=1762268652","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.sbs\/products\/fugees-the-score-180g-vinyl-2lp","provider":"turntablelab.sbs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
