Pras Michel on the Return of The Fugees: 'I Think the Culture Really Needed It'

How did you, Ms. Hill and Wyclef settle on the decision to do this reunion tour?

I’ma say it like this to you -- last night, it really felt good. Although, everybody moved on and they’re doing their own things, whether it be music or simple projects, whatever, they [Wyclef and Ms. Hill] were rehearsing a little bit before that, but yesterday was my first day actually going in with them, and I was a little skeptical.

I would say that in general I’m proud of the fact that we were able to have this much of an impact on the culture, and people really resonating, because you know how things are: Here today, gone tomorrow. And to still have people excited about what we created, that’s my proud moment. The accolades are always gonna be there, but to me, it’s about how you make someone feel and how you touch people’s lives.

When you look at what different artists have contributed outside of music, from Rihanna to Kanye to Dr. Dre to Puff -- we’ve expanded, and people are buying our products, buying our cosmetics. I’m going into heavy innovation, and I’m excited to be involved with different [types of] tech, especially space. It’s just going to help other minorities to want to go into innovation, go into science, [and] cosmetics. What we did for hip-hop, we’re going to do for other avenues.
