“It’s like a million memories I got.” Photo-Illustration: Vulture; Photo by Lionel FLUSIN/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images Last month, ’90s hip-hop legends the Fugees announced a surprise reunion tour, staging a tantalizing preview of it at Manhattan’s Pier 17 with an impossibly large band in tow, treating the audience to classics like “Ready or Not” and deep cuts like “Zealots.
The basement was moments, man, that could never be recaptured. Just a bunch of kids leaving college, leaving home. “Let’s have a dream, man.” “Just believe, yo.” “This going to be it,” not knowing what it is. We just believed that somehow we were going to succeed. We felt the love we had for each other at that time, the love for the music, and the love for the hip-hop and the culture. It was just a great moment with everybody that was coming in — Snoop, Pac, Biggie. Mary J. Blige. Wu-Tang.
We were supposed to go to Africa to do the show, but there were last-minute logistical issues. So Global Citizen was gracious enough to put it together. They are one of the most incredible organizations I’ve ever dealt with. Within days, they put the whole Pier 17 show together, which was amazing. It wasn’t so much about coming back to [announce a tour]. It was about doing something for Global Citizen. This was dear to Ms. Hill’s heart.
Essentialness of live instruments to the Fugees sound Clef and I grew up in the church. It added to the character of group. What was dope about hip-hop then is that if you had a hundred hip-hop artists that was popping, each one of them had their own individual style, right? Wu-Tang had a sound. Snoop had a sound. Dre had a sound. Busta Rhymes had a sound. Da Brat had a sound. Jay-Z, Big. Bro, everybody had their own unique sound, and it was just dope. But today’s a little bit different.
Number of mics he’d give The Source At one point, The Source was the Bible for hip-hop. When we came out, they were saying the group was wack. The girl is cool. The guys need to go back to 1980. But we settled the score. It’s so funny how we look for validation that really means nothing at the end of the day. But back then, we wanted our five mics. They were saying Blunted wasn’t up to par and all that. Then, they were like, “Oh my God, The Score.
Best part of recording debut solo album Ghetto Supastar I was pushed to do it [by the label]. I just kind of, like, did it and put it out there. The single was rejected by Sony at first. Then we put it on the Bulworth soundtrack and followed up with an album. But “Ghetto Supastar” came out of it. Mya was great. Ol’ Dirty Bastard, God rest his soul, was incredible. That process was incredible. He was not supposed to be on the record.
