Since the album's release, it has received mostly positive praise from critics, and to date; is one of the highest selling Hip-hop albums of all time with over 18 million copies sold <ref>http://www.mjni.com/news/details.aspx?ArticleNo=508</ref>. The album features many aspects of [[alternative hip hop]] music that would come to dominate the scene in the late 1990s. Among these are [[reggae]] and [[soul music|soul]] influences, female vocals and "conscious" lyrics dealing with social problems. The production was mostly handled by the Fugees themselves and [[Jerry Duplessis|Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis]], with additional production by [[Salaam Remi]], [[John Forté]], Shawn King, and [[Diamond D]]. The guest raps are from [[Outsidaz]]' members [[Rah Digga]], [[Young Zee]] and Pacewon as well as Omega, John Forté, and Diamond D. In 2001, the album was re-released as ''The Complete Score'', comprising the original album and ''The Bootleg Version'', a compilation of [[b-sides]] and rarities. ==Overview== Unlike the group's previous album ''[[Blunted on Reality]]'', ''The Score'' was entirely handled by the group, with their record label allowing them entire artistic and creative control. Among the standout songs on ''The Score'' are the covers of [[Roberta Flack]]'s "[[Killing Me Softly with His Song]]" and [[Bob Marley]]'s "[[No Woman, No Cry]]". The latter was performed with updated lyrics by [[Wyclef Jean]] as an homage to his [[Haiti]]an ancestry, and the former was almost a solo performance by [[Lauryn Hill]]. Other hit singles include "Ready Or Not" and "Fu-Gee-La". In 1998, the album was named one of the 100 best rap albums by ''[[The Source (magazine)|The Source]]''. In 2003, the album was ranked number 477 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine's list of [[The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|the 500 greatest albums of all time]]. The album was certified 6x [[Music recording sales certification|Platinum]] on [[October 3]], [[1997]]. To date, it has sold over 18 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.mjni.com/news/details.aspx?ArticleNo=508</ref> It has been called the most successful Hip Hop album of all time. The album featured three bonus tracks: two remixes of "Fu-Gee-La" and "Mista Mista", a short [[Wyclef Jean]] solo track. The track "Ready or Not" samples [[Enya]]'s "Boadicea". Initially this sample was uncredited, and Enya was prepared to sue for copyright infringement, however decided not to when she discovered that the Fugees were not [[gangsta rappers]].<ref> {{cite web |url=http://web.archive.org/web/20050407183319/http://www.enya.org/p_trans4/b019.htm |title=Irish Voice article at archive.org |accessdate=2007-03-26 |date=1997-02-18}}</ref> ==Production== ''The Score'' is produced by a variety of producers including each member of the Fugees as well as [[Diamond D]], [[Salaam Remi]] and [[Jerry 'Wonder' Duplessis]]. Although most tracks are built on [[sampling (music)|sampled]] [[melodies]], live instrumentation and [[DJing]] are incorporated into multiple tracks. Wyclef Jean plays the guitar on "Family Business," while DJ Scribble [[scratches]] on "Manifest/Outro," and the song "[[Fu-Gee-La]] (Sly & Robbie Remix)" is entirely instrumental. Still, samples are the predominant production tool on this album. "Fu-Gee-La" incorporates a sample of [[Teena Marie]]'s "Ooh La La La," and it is [[Interpolation (music)|interpolated]] in the song's chorus. "[[Ready or Not (Fugees song)|Ready or Not]]" also contains a sample that is interpolated--"Ready or Not (Here I Come)" by [[The Delfonics]]. Vocals from hip hop songs are also heavily sampled on ''The Score''. "Manifest/Outro" contains a sample from "Rock Dis Funky Joint" by [[Poor Righteous Teachers]], while the title track contains vocal samples from every track on the entire album. The wide array of samples and instrumentation on the Fugees' second album attributes to a diverse set of music. ==Reception== Since the album's release, ''The Score'' has been well received by fans and critics alike. Steve Huey from Allmusic stated ''"Even when they're not relying on easily recognizable tunes, their original material is powered by a raft of indelible hooks ... The Score balances intelligence and accessibility with an easy assurance, and ranks as one of the most distinctive hip-hop albums of its era."''<ref>[http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:ot68mpcf9foo allmusic ((( The Score > Overview )))<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> He and others, also touted it for its eclecticism, group rapping with good chemistry and social consciousness. ===Accolades=== (*) signifys unordered lists {|class="wikitable" |- !
