The Fugees’ The Score remains a landmark 1990s hip‑hop record — musically rich, emotionally resonant, and culturally influential.

The Score was a commercial juggernaut and a critical darling. It peaked at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. It went on to be certified 7x Platinum by the RIAA, making it one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time.
