Fugees Zealots lyrics
[Wyclef Jean]
One two - I'm bout to set this off! Like this
Hip-hoppers, check it
{*singing*}
Another MC lose his life tonight, lawwwwd
I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, why
Ohh laww-WWD, father don't let him bury me, whoahhhh
{*rapping*}
I haunt MC's like Mephistopheles, bringin swords of Damocles
Secret service keep a close watch as if my name was Kennedy
Abstract raps simple with a street format
Gaze into the sky and measure planets by parallax
Check out the retrograde motion, kill the notion
of biting and recycling and callin it your own creation
I feel like Rockwell, 'Somebody's Watching Me'
I got no privacy whether on land or at sea
And for you biting zealots, your raps are cacophonic
Hypocrite, critic, but deep inside you wish you had the pop hit
It hurts don't it, a ReFugee come to your turf
and take over the earth
[Lauryn Hill - *singing*]
See my rhymes, are the type of fly rhymes
that can only get down with my crew
And if you try, to take lines or bite rhymes (hehe)
we'll show you how the ReFugees do
{*rapping*}
Yeah, yeah behold, as my odes, manifold on your rhymes
Two MC's can't occupy the same space at the same time
It's against the laws of physics
So weep as your 'Sweet Dreams' break up like Eurythmics
Rap rejects my tape deck, ejects projectile
Whether jew or gentile, I rank top percentile
Many styles, more powerful than gamma rays
My grammar pays, like Carlos Sanatana plays, 'Black Magic Woman'
So while you fumin I'm consumin mango juice under Polaris
You just embarrassed cause it's your 'Last Tango in Paris'
And even after all my logic and my theory
I add a motherfucker so you ig'nant niggaz hear me
Crew remember take notes, as I sow my rap oats
And for you biting zealots, here's a quote
[Wyclef Jean - *singing*]
Ay! Another MC lose his life tonight, ohhhhh
I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, whyyyy
Ohh laww-WWD, father don't let him bury we, aiyyyy
{*rapping*}
You can try but you can't divide the tribe
These cats can't rap, Mr. Author I feel no Vibe (whatchu readin?)
The magazine says the girl should have gone solo
The guys should stop rappin - vanish like Menudo
Took it to the heart, but every actor plays his part
As long as someone was listenin, I knew it was a start
For me to get my chance, grab my pen and revamp (bing!)
Do a cameo while everybody do the dance
Quick now, cause you runnin out of luck-a
Playin Mr. Big, 'I'm Gonna Get You Sucka'
While you munchin at your luncheon
I'll be plannin your assassination, then hit you like the Dutchman
[Prazwell]
I compress sound sets with my rap DBX
Then drop vocals on my 456 Ampex
Bring terror to the shop of horror
As she cry, 'Mi amor,' the Phantom dies in the Opera
And to the young'uns who carry gadgets
And kill six days a week, then rest on the Sabbath (hold up, hold up!)
Violence ain't necessary, unless you provoke me
Then get buried like the great Mussolini
And for you bitin zealots, your rap styles are relics
No matter who you 'Damage,' you're still a false 'Prophet'
[Wyclef Jean - *singing*]
Ay! Another MC lose his life tonight, lawwwwwd
I beg that you pray to Jesus Christ, whyyyy
Ohh laww-WWD, father don't let him bury me, ye

Fugees (/ˈfuːdʒiːz/; sometimes The Fugees) was an American hip hop group who rose to fame in the early 1990s. Their repertoire included elements of hip hop, soul and Caribbean music, particularly reggae. The members of the group were rapper/singer/producerWyclef Jean, rapper/singer/producer Lauryn Hill, and rapper/producer Pras Michel. Deriving their name from a shortening of the word 'refugees', Jean and Michel are Haitian while Hill is American.
Before disbanding in 1997, the group recorded two albums, one of which, The Score (1996), was a multi-Platinum and Grammy-winning success and contains their hit single 'Killing Me Softly'. Hill and Jean each went on to successful solo recording careers; Michel focused on soundtrack recordings and acting, though he found commercial success with his song 'Ghetto Supastar'. In 2007, MTV ranked them the ninth greatest hip-hop group of all time.[1]

Career[edit]
Formation and beginnings[edit]
Lauryn Hill and Pras first met at Columbia High School, in Maplewood, New Jersey, New Jersey. Pras, Lauryn, and a mutual friend named Marcy formed a musical trio called Tyme; Pras' cousin, Wyclef Jean, joined the trio and Marcy left soon after in 1990.[2] The moniker Tranzlator Crew refers to the name of their band at the time, which included Johnny Wise on drums, T Boss (Jerry) on bass guitar, and Leon (DJ).[3] In 1993, after some gigs and recorded demos, the trio signed to Ruffhouse, distributed through Columbia Records.[4] The trio's name was later changed to Fugees, which was purposely taken from a word often used derogatorily to refer to Haitian-Americans (refugee).[5] Refugee Camp, while a name sometimes credited to the trio, also refers to a number of artists affiliated with them, and particularly Jean.
The trio soon changed musical direction, and released their first hip-hop LP, Blunted on Reality, in 1994 under the guidance of Kool and the Gang's producer Ronald Bell. Although the album did not contain as many lyrics with overtly political messages as songs from The Score, there were still political intentions.[3] The album spawned the singles 'Boof Baf', 'Nappy Heads' and 'Vocab', but gained little mainstream attention, despite earning plaudits for its artistic quality and innovative use of samples.[6]
The Score[edit]
The musical qualities of their first record would be revisited with their second album The Score which was released in February 1996.
The Score became one of the biggest hits of 1996 and one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time. The Fugees first gained attention for their cover versions of old favorites, with the group's reinterpretations of 'No Woman No Cry' by Bob Marley & the Wailers and 'Killing Me Softly with His Song' (first recorded by Lori Lieberman in 1971, remade by Roberta Flack in 1973), the latter being their biggest hit.
The album also included a re-interpretation of The Delfonics' 'Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide From Love)' in their hit single, 'Ready or Not', which featured a prominent sample of Enya's 'Boadicea' without the singer's permission. This prompted a lawsuit resulting in a settlement where Enya was given credit and royalties for her sample.[7] The Fugees have continuously thanked and praised Enya for her deep understanding of the situation, for example in the liner notes for The Score.
The Fugees won two 1997 Grammy Awards with The Score (Best Rap Album) and 'Killing Me Softly' (Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group).
Later career[edit]
In 1997, the Fugees all began solo projects: Hill started work on her critically acclaimed The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill; Jean began producing for a number of artists (including Canibus, Destiny's Child and Carlos Santana) and recorded his debut album The Carnival; Pras, with Mýa and Ol' Dirty Bastard, recorded the single 'Ghetto Supastar (That Is What You Are)' for the soundtrack to the Warren Beatty/Halle Berry film Bulworth. In early 1998, they reunited to shoot a music video for the song 'Just Happy to Be Me' which appeared in the Sesame Street special Elmopalooza, and also on the Grammy Award-winning soundtrack album.
The Fugees Cd
The three Fugees reunited and performed on September 18, 2004 at the concert in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn featured in the film Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2004), headlining a star-studded bill that included Kanye West, Mos Def, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Common, Big Daddy Kane, Dead Prez, Cody ChesnuTT and John Legend. Their performance received several positive reviews, many of which praised Hill's near a cappella rendition of 'Killing Me Softly'.
The Fugees would make their first televised appearance in almost ten years at BET's 2005 Music Awards on June 28, opening the show with a twelve-minute set. With a new album announced to be in the works, one track, 'Take It Easy', was leaked online and eventually released as an Internet single on September 27, 2005. It peaked at number 40 on the BillboardR&B Chart but was met with poor reviews, noting its radical departure from the Fugees' sound.
Disbanding[edit]
In 2005, the Fugees embarked on a European tour - their first together since 1997 - from November 30 to December 20, playing in Finland, Austria, Norway, Germany, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and Slovakia. They had been scheduled to play at the Hammersmith Apollo on 25 November 2005; however, they were forced to move the gig to December due to production issues.[8] The tour received mixed reviews. On February 6, 2006, the group reunited for a free show in Hollywood, with tickets given away to about 8,000 fans by local radio stations. Later that month, a new track called 'Foxy' was leaked, a song dubbed the 'REAL return of the Fugees' by several online MP3blogs.
However, following the reunion tour, the album that was said to be in the works did not materialize and was postponed indefinitely, as relationships between band members apparently deteriorated. In August 2007, Pras stated, 'Before I work with Lauryn Hill again, you will have a better chance of seeing Osama Bin Laden and [George W.] Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies, before there will be a Fugees reunion'.[9] Meanwhile, in September 2007, an equally outspoken Wyclef told Blues & Soul: 'I feel the first issue that needs to be addressed is that Lauryn needs help.. In my personal opinion, those Fugees reunion shows shouldn't have been done, because we wasn't ready. I really felt we shoulda first all gone into a room with Lauryn and a psychiatrist.. But, you know, I do believe Lauryn can get help. And, once she does work things out, hopefully a proper and enduring Fugees reunion will happen.'[10]On 15 July 2017, an old song by the Fugees was leaked on Hot 97 radio leading to reports that the group was reforming. This was later denied by group members on Twitter.
Fugees turned their recording studio, The Booga Basement, into a transitional house for young Haitian refugees immigrating to the United States.[5]
Legacy[edit]
After the group split, Wyclef Jean co-founded and headed the Yele Haiti Foundation, a non-profit organization 'focusing on emergency relief, employment, youth development and education, and tree planting and agriculture' in Haiti.[11]Pras Michel starred in a documentary about homelessness in Los Angeles and remained outspoken about Haitian politics.[12][13][14] Lauryn Hill continued recording and performing socially conscious music and went on to advocate for female empowerment especially within the music industry.[15][16]
Scholarship[edit]
Alexander Weyheliye's 'Sounding Diasporic Citizenship' looks to the Fugees to consider the possibility for the term 'refugee' to be a liberating call that builds international community as an empowering form of 'diasporic citizenship'. He writes that the Fugees 'address the prejudices against Haitians in the States and also reclaim the figure of the Haitian refugee not as an instantiation of the abject but as a point of solidarity.'[17]Ninja shadow of darkness ps1 iso torrent.
