In 1998 the album was included in The Sources 100 best rap albums list and in 2003 it was ranked number 477 on Rolling Stone magazines list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. In addition to receiving mostly favorable reviews upon its release the album has garnered a considerable amount of acclaim over the years with many music critics and publications noting it as one of the greatest albums of the 1990s as well as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.
On OctoThe Score was certified six times platinum in sales by the Recording Industry Association of America RIAA.
The singles Killing Me Softly Fu-Gee-La and Ready or Not also achieved notable chart success and helped the group achieve worldwide recognition. Upon its release The Score was a commercial success peaking at the number one spot on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart it was a number-one album on the latter in 1996 on the year-end chart. Most versions of the album feature four bonus tracks including three remixes of Fu-Gee-La and a short acoustic Wyclef Jean solo track entitled Mista Mista. The albums guest raps are from Outsidaz members Rah Digga Young Zee and Pacewon as well as Omega John Fort and Diamond D. The Scores production was handled mostly by the Fugees themselves and Jerry Duplessis with additional production from Salaam Remi John Fort Diamond D and Shawn King. The album features a wide range of samples and instrumentation with many aspects of alternative hip hop that would come to dominate the hip hop music scene in the mid-late 1990s. 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.The Score is the second and final studio album by the hip hop trio Fugees released worldwide Februon Columbia Records. 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 black people in the Western Hemisphere to trace their familial roots ("Family Business"). Even when they're not relying on easily recognizable tunes, their original material is powered by a raft of indelible hooks, especially the great "Fu-Gee-La" there are also touches of blues and gospel, and the recognizable samples range from doo wop to Enya. Their strong fondness for smooth soul and reggae is underscored by the two hit covers given slight hip-hop makeovers ( Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"). Not just a collection of individual talents, the Fugees' three MCs all share a crackling chemistry and a wide-ranging taste in music. It not only catapulted the Fugees into stardom, but also launched the productive solo careers of Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill, the latter of whom already ranks as one of the top female MCs of all time based on her work here.
The Score's eclecticism, social consciousness, and pop smarts drew millions of latent hip-hop listeners back into the fold, showing just how much the music had grown up. Its left-field, multi-platinum success proved there was a substantial untapped audience with an appreciation for rap music but little interest in thug life. A breath of fresh air in the gangsta-dominated mid-'90s, the Fugees' breakthrough album, The Score, marked the beginning of a resurgence in alternative hip-hop.
