Portishead's Dummy album suffered the same fate.

Marketing music is big business and The Fugees album (whether it was good or not) ushered in a new era of Urban music.
I disagree. The same ****ty RnB artists of this day just followed the ****ty ones before them, just they saw the opportunity (thanks in large part to locals jimmy jam and terry lewis) to make more money using a hip hop influence.

Boyz 2 men, Dru Hill etc lead to May j Blige and R.Kelly lead to T-Pain etc.

I admit the latest batch of the RnB 'singers' is crap, i just don't like lauren hill getting the blame

Oh yeah definitely, i blame Killing Me Softly, but i enjoy it a lot nonetheless. A lot of the album tracks deserve more credit. Laid-back yes, but the hooks are there.

And it's far too good to be dinner party music

I just heard Killing Me Softly the other day too, weird. ONE TIME.

Let's see, masterpiece for non spam issues... I haven't heard the album yet, but if the tracks on dude's Myspace are on his new CD, then 607's new CD should be a ****in smash.

thats difficult to say, the 'r'n'b aesthetic on a hip hop beat' was big way before the fugees; the genres had been fusing since New Jack Swing (Janet Jackson's third album is a corker).
Thusly:


besides i'd sooner listen to something with some soul over this bait 'underground' stuff perpetuated by beardy white guys in hunting caps. But then again you'd probably find the Fugees in any self-respecting student/backpacker hip-hop collection. i mean they're not that great really are they? i'm still undecided on 'the miseducation of lauryn hill' though. Incidentally this is available in all CD megastores in the URBAN section (if it's got black people/lack of guitars/digital production it's urban, fyi)

yeah man i swear her voice dropped or something?... it's got this reputation as one of the landmark hip-hop/rnb albums of recent times but i just haven't made the effort yet. And if I'm honest I don't own any Fugees albums, just being a judgmental **** as usual ready or not, here ah come... gonna fiiiind you... yeah.
