Ready-or-not their back!!!
1994 started the beginning of a musical revolution called the
Fugees. The Fugees contained the lyrical strength of Prakazrel
Michel (Pras), the musical genius of Wyclef Jean (Clef) and
harmonious voice of Lauren Hill. Although the group had dropped
"Blunted on Reality" in 1994, that was only the tip of the
iceberg for the group; it was not until 1996 when the group
released the fury which was "The Score" upon the world, they
became critically acclaimed. "The Score" reached the top of
billboards chart during the same year with the help of such
singles as: 'Ready or Not', 'Killing me Softly', 'Fugee-la' and
an amazing cover of Bob Marley's 'No Woman Don't Cry', just to
name a few. But 'what goes up must come down'; after completion
of the 1997 Smokin' Grooves tour, Lauryn Hill to take time away
from the group in expectation of her son.
Hill seemed to be the glue which held them together, because
once she was away Pras and Clef begun to have tension with one
another. Nothing worse than in camp dispute, look what it did to
the Beetles, the Jackson 5, Wu-tang, so they all decided to
pursue solo careers. Clef was first to debut his dolo joint with
"The Carnival", and with twenty-three tracks Clef once again
flexed his musical prowess and gained an identity aside from the
Fugees. Pras, not one to be out done, came out with "Ghetto

tracks as 'For the Love of
This' and showed that he can grab the publics attention with the
title track, 'Ghetto Supastar'. But it was the massive success
of Hill's album which presented the strong case that the Fugees,
might not ever come back together, "The Miseducation of Lauryn
Hill". This album portrayed all which is Ms. Hill as an artist
and a person and she gained worldly observation while being
nominated for many musical awards.
With all the individual success, the raising star which was the
Fugees has fallen; that is until a reunion at the Dave
Chapelle's block party. Hill has been the remediate in the whole
situation trying to get the group back together; she and many
fans got their wishes granted on this year's BET awards. The
Fugees opened the show and tore it down, performing many of
their hits from "The Score". After that performance even the
group themselves couldn't deny that they missed it, and so after
a whole decade, of lets just say 'personal growth', the Fugees
presented the first single 'Take it Easy', and they haven't
missed a beat. In a recent interview with Clef on local
Washington D.C. radio station 95.5 fm, he explained how they
were putting any and everything they had in this album, "Man on
our shows we don't have any back ups it's just us; you're
getting all of us,", the wait is over!!!
