Album The Score |
 | | A breath of fresh air in the gangsta-dominated mid-'90s, the Fugees' (Refugee Camp) breakthrough album, The Score, marked the beginning of a resurgence in alternative hip-hop. |
| | Their protest tracks are often biting, yet tempered with pathos and humanity, whether they're attacking racial profiling among police ("The Beast"), the insecurity behind violent posturing ("Cowboys"), or the inability of many fl people in the Western Hemisphere to trace their familial roots ("Family Business"). |
| | Yeah, the Chinese restaurant skit is a little dicey, but on the whole, The Score balances intelligence and accessibility with an easy assurance, and ranks as one of the most distinctive hip-hop albums of its era. |
