 The most amazing hip-hop album I have ever come across. May 04, 2009
This CD is the most amazing thing. I just got it in the mail today, and I just can't seem to let go of it! With Lauryn's vocals (of which I have been a huge fan of for forever...I bought the Miseducation when it first came out), Wyclef's lyrics, and Pras's rhymes, this thing is the most amazing hip-hop experience anybody can ever have. I highly recommend that anybody buy this, but not if you can't stand rap music. NOT for listening around little children. ;)

MY CASE HAD NO CRACKS IN IT JUST A FEW SCRATCHES! I AM REALLY UPSET WITH MY PURCHASE...I WANT WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE...WHERE DID MY BOOKLET GO, I DONT EVEN KNOW MY TRACK LINEUP! THIS IS VERY UNACCETABLE. I AM AN AVID BUYER FROM AMAZON AND I DONT LIKE BEING LIED TO. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO TAKE MY BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!!

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED ALBUMS OF THE '90S Aug 05, 2001
When Lauryn Hill dropped "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", critics and laymen alike tried to act like the excellence on that album had no precedent. Like they couldn't see it coming. Likewise, Wyclef's "The Carnival" was praised with no homage to the past. People tried to act like the Fugees were some mediocre trio which bred two phenomenally talented stars, with Pras as an afterthought. In reviews for Miseducation, I often saw folks saying "The Score" was alright, but...." Please! This is one of the best hip-hop albums I've ever heard! And, though Pras' solo turn produced such hokey material as "Ghetto Superstar", he was a big part of why the Fugees were so good. He and Lauryn are the star rappers here. Wyclef is better doing the eclectic, instrumental stuff highlighted on the middle and end part of Carnival. It makes me cringe when people point to "The Score" being famous only for "Killing Me Softly", which was a break from most of the rest of the album, in that it was a hip-hop/soul track rather than rap. KMS was a nice song, but the true gems on the album are the bleak-sounding, down-tempo numbers like "Family Business" and "Ready or Not". "Fu-gee-la" is great, also, as is the opener "How Many Mics". Their rhymes are not dumbed down. ...you get references to the Sword of Damocles and Parallax. The precise, intellectual MCing Lauryn was praised for on Miseducation was totally evident on this album, which predates that record by 3 years. I really can't think of a bad track on this record. And, 5 years later, I still listen to it and it's still better than just about anything in the mainstream today. And, this record sold something like 17 million copies worldwide. It's a shame these Jersey/Brooklyn kids (and they WERE kids then, which makes it more amazing..remember Lauryn was only 23 when TMOLH came out in '99) couldn't seem to get along. They were the bomb!
