30 Years Ago Today: The Score — Changed Hip-Hop Forever
📀 On this day in 1996, The Score by the Fugees dropped, and hip-hop shifted. Straight out of Jersey!
This wasn’t just another release. This was a moment.
With records like:
• 🎤 “Ready or Not”
• 🔥 “Fu-Gee-La”
• 🎶 “Killing Me Softly”
The trio of Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Pras Michel blended hip-hop, soul, reggae, and Caribbean influence in a way the mainstream had never fully seen before.
🏆 Multi-platinum.
🌍 Global impact.
🎧 Timeless sound.
Thirty years later… it still knocks. No skips.
This wasn’t just an album — it was a cultural reset.
