Wyclef Confirms Fugees' Enduring Legacy
5 Aug
Summary
- The Fugees' legacy is cemented, despite few albums.
- Wyclef Jean compares Fugees' impact to The Beatles.
- Fans still show strong support for The Fugees' members.
Wyclef Jean is confident that The Fugees have solidified their historical significance in the music industry. He recently shared this sentiment while discussing the group's enduring legacy, which began in high school in the 1980s. This legacy was cemented by their diamond-selling album, "The Score," released in 1996.
Wyclef recalled Bono of U2 calling The Fugees "Hip Hop's Beatles" during the album's peak success. While he didn't fully grasp the compliment then, fan devotion over the years has validated its meaning for him. He has also hinted at new music from the group, a topic that Pras Michel previously addressed coyly.
The group's members continue to draw large crowds. Lauryn Hill recently addressed her notable lateness during her "Miseducation" 25th-anniversary tour stops in Los Angeles. These shows also featured surprise performances from artists like Lil Wayne and Nas, who celebrated Hill's Diamond plaque for her solo album.
