    Pras sucked rhymin & Wyclef was hit or miss. Lauren Hill was G.O.A.T. Had she had more material she'd top 3 greatest mc's EVER

    Clef doesn't get enough credit, he was/is a good rapper. Lauryn was amazing though, I guess that's sort of the takeaway from the group. Nobody could appreciate Clef because Lauyrn was so cold with it.

    Salaam Remi got his first big look with them

    5 Mics to me. Still gets played to this day.

    Yeah in saloons we drink Boone's and battle goons till high noon
    Bust rap tunes on flat spoons, take no shorts like poom poom's
    See hoochies pop coochies, for Gucci's and Lucci
    Find me in my Mitsubishi, eating sushi, bumping Fugees
    Hey Hey Hey - try to take the crew and we don't play play
    Say say say - like Paul McCartney, not hardly
    ODD-ly enough, I can see right through your bluff
    ? huff and they puff but they can't handle us, WE BUST
    Cause we fortified, I could never hide
    Seen "Cooley High", cried when Cochise died
    I'm twisted, black-listed by some other negroes
    Don't remove my Polos on the first episode
    Ha Ha Ha Ha, You shouldn't diss refugees, and
    Ha Ha Ha Ha, You whole sound set's ? , and
    Ha Ha Ha Ha, You have to respect JERSEY, cause I'm superfly when I'm super-high on the Fu-Gee-La

    Now that I escape, sleepwalker awake
    Those who could relate know the world ain't cake
    Jail bars ain't golden gates
    Those who fake, they break
    When they meet their 400-pound mate
    If I could rule the world
    Everyone would have a gun in the ghetto of course
    When giddyuping on their horse
    I kick a rhyme drinking moonshine
    I pour a sip on the concrete, for the deceased
    But no don't weep, Wyclef's in a state of sleep
    Thinking bout the robbery that I did last week
    Money in the bag, banker looked like a drag
    I want to play with pellet guns from here to Baghdad
    Gun blast, think fast, I think I'm hit
    My girl pinched my hips to see if I still exist
    I think not, I'll send a letter to my friends
    A born again hooligan only to be king again

    [Hook]

    [Verse 2 - Lauryn Hill]
    I play my enemies like a game of chess, where I rest
    No stress, if you don't smoke sess, lest
    I must confess, my destiny's manifest
    In some Goretex and sweats I make treks like I'm homeless
    Rap orgies with Porgy and Bess
    Capture your bounty like Elliot Ness, yes
    Bless you if you represent the Fu
    But I'll hex you with some witch's brew
    If you're doo-doo, voodoo
    I can do what you do, easy, believe me
    Fronting n****s give me heebie-jeebies
    So while you're imitating Al Capone, I'll be Nina Simone
    And defecating on your microphone

    I actually preferred digable planets, esp their second album, but I loved this album and groove theory album came out around then too, I remember playing them both non stop.

    The Score album was GOAT for a few reasons.

    1. Very little cursing
    2. Dope Beats
    3. Down to earth subject matter (no guns or kingpin drug stories)
    4. GOAT rhymes from Lauryn, Dope Rhymes from Wyclef and Pras played his position

    Classic album, Wyclef has one of the most annoying voices in hip hop but him and jerry wonder are underrated as ? as producers.

    One of my favorite lines from Lauryn Hill! My brother and I used to play this tape out!
