10 Rappers That Have Never Made A Bad Album

10. The Fugees

Ever since the '90s, the hip-hop world has been aching for another Fugees album. As the era of gangsta rap was in full effect, albums like The Score have been a part of many a childhood in its day. However, with every member still doing their thing, it's unlikely that we will see any new music on the horizon from these guys.

Though the band's first effort was a pretty serviceable slice of hip-hop, the Score rewrote the entire playbook on rap, with Lauryn Hill's sultry croon laying over the beat so naturally. While this record was still a straight-ahead hip-hop release, the way in which Pras and Wyclef Jean interpolated elements of reggae into the mix helped set the standard for what would become alternative hip-hop later down the line. Just when it seemed like they would be taking the genre to the next level, the band ended up falling apart due to creative differences.

Though Wyclef has been the most prolific out of all the members, the presence of Lauryn Hill's croon on the radio is sorely missed, with no new record on the horizon since the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998. The Fugees back catalog remains untouchable by hip-hop standards, but as time goes on, the thought of them getting back together seems more and more like a pipe dream.
