The beats, the lyrics, this album just killed it.Īnd just like that The Fugees were no more, as this was the last album they recorded together. “How Many Mics”, “Ready or Not”, “Zealots” and “Family Business” just bring me back. I remember going to Club 2001, a dance club not too far from where I lived, and dancing to “Killing Me Softly with His Song.” All us girls would sing Lauryn’s part at the top of our lungs, hoping our vocal prowess would entice the guys we were dancing on the floor with.

“Killing Me Softly” was a hit for Roberta Flack before it was ever a hit with The Fugees, but it did not make the song any less iconic. Wyclef and Pras’s flow was so melodic, and it goes without saying that Lauryn Hill was such a brilliant vocalist and quite the MC. The vignettes between the songs and the flow of the album as a whole was like nothing I had ever heard. Although The Score was The Fugees second album, it was brilliant. When I first heard “Fu-Gee-La” through the halls of my high school’s music wing, I immediately ran up to who was playing it from their boom box (remember those…) and yelled, “Who is this?” I recognized Lauryn Hill’s voice immediately but did not know much of Pras or Wyclef. I could go on and on about so many albums, but I narrowed it down to the top albums that brought back the most memories of my senior/freshman years. Even though those albums came out…cough, cough… 25 years ago. So many new artists, albums, familiar faces, and a lot of those memories I look back on are suddenly thrust upon me after listening to certain albums.

What a year it was, and the memories I made are those forever thoughts that flood your brain constantly saying, “Remember those days?” Music was electric in 1996. The first six months of 1996 was my senior year of high school, the next six months were my freshman year of college.
