Groovin' Jun 27, 2009
Love it. It's got lots of the good songs and remix of the sweetest thing. I'm groovin!
 I like it Apr 05, 2008
I love this album... one of my favs... mellow album with great bass licks starting with "Vocab". Great rasta sound. Great rap. Killing me softly of course rocks, but also like "no woman, don't cry", and "Fu-Gee-La".
Satisfies but doesn't thrill Jul 27, 2007
I was as pleased as Punch when this CD came out in 2003. For starters it had Salaam Remi's 'Mahogany Mix' of Lauryn Hill's "The Sweetest Thing" on it and I had been searching for that track for ages. The original version of the song is on the 1997 soundtrack Love Jones: The Music (1997 Film) and I heard the remix in a club sometime between '98 and 2000. I remember searching the four corners of London in vain, trying to get my hands on the 12". (It wasn't a hidden track on my European version of Hill's The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill though I've been led to believe it was on US versions). Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, that song was worth the price of the CD all on its own.
So I was happier still, to find out it also had the 'Remix Radio Edit' of "Nappy Heads". I'd seen the video on MTV and had always meant to get Blunted on Reality, the Fugees album it came from but I just never got round to it. I'm no hardcore Fugees fan; The Score is their only CD I own apart from this one, so The 'Refugees Hip Hop Mix' of "Vocab" added even more value, as did Salaam's 'Ready For The Show Remix' of "Ready Or Not".
But I can totally understand why real Fugee fans would be underwhelmed by this CD. Seven out of the ten songs on here are from "The Score alone", which is a bit cheeky, to say the least. I guess I was just lucky how things turned out for me. It gets 3.5 stars on account of the four tunes I mentioned but with a few more remixes or more songs from the Fugees other albums or even a few more songs from Wyclef or Pras's solo projects, it could have made five stars easily. My overall assessment: it satisfies but missed a golden opportunity to thrill.
 Poor quality Jan 09, 2007
its sounds like it was burned off of another CD. The quality is poor.

 "The Score" and "The Bootleg Versions" Aug 19, 2005
If you already own "The Score" and "The Bootleg Versions", there is no reason to even buy this because that's all it is. There are only two songs on her not from those albums: "Nappy Heads"[Remix Radio Edit] and "The Sweetest Thing"[Mahogany Mix] by Lauryn Hill, which is a nice track.
But all in all, this is a nice, short CD to listen to while you're relaxing or in the car. But not good enough to buy if you have the other albums.
