The Score is a 1996 album released by The Fugees. Despite being their most famous album, it is not their debut - as is often suggested. Their debut album was Blunted on Reality.
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 influences, female vocals and "conscious" lyrics dealing with social problems rather than "gangsta" tales. The slow-groove style of the album was also copied by many other performers.
Among the many standout songs on this album are the covers of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" and Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry". The latter was performed with updated lyrics by Wyclef Jean as a homage to his Haitian ancestry, while the former was almost a solo performance by Lauryn Hill.
