Ignore any bad publicity this CD or the group has gotten. This is the very best CD the Fugees have ever offered. The first Vocab remix makes the original song look like a spastic on a ferris wheel. This album is the bomb.

I saw this in the store the other day and had to buy it.

The Clark Kent Remix of "Ready Or Not" is arguably the best Fugees remix ever. It includes some new rhymes from everybody, and beautiful harmonies from Lauryn Hill. The unreleased song, "Don't Cry, Dry Your Eyes", is very good with some of the best rhymes. The "No Woman, No Cry" Remix, featuring Steve Marley is great, too.

Everything else on this EP is great, too. Except for the really lame Mad Spider Mix of "Nappy Heads."

This cd gets 3 stars from me alone just because it's the fugees. When this cd came out back in 96 I was wondering if these remixes could really be that good that they had to drop a cd just to put them out. After listening to the first track my question was answered. Songs I liked were "nappy heads" , "ready or not", "No woman no cry", and "Vocab"(refugee hip hop remix). Songs I didn't like was "don't cry dry your eyes" and "Vocab(salaam remix)". Just listen to the verse that lauryn hill spits on the first track and you will understand why I think that song is good. I don't know if the fugees will ever come back together but this will keep us and remind us what they had until that time. This is One bootleg cd u won't regret buying.

This is goes back and forth as my favorite fugee's album. It's built for those who love base and have the equipment to support it. TRACK 8 is an absolut bust out and has urged my repeat button several times. "NO WOMAN NO CRY" is the best addition I've heard; where else do you get the son of a legend singing next to a rap alstar. BUSTA RHYMES track 2 is quick and among his best. All of the "READY OR NOT!" editions are unique and illustrate completely independent and interesting sound techniques. Probably the only loser on the album is the "KILLING ME SOFTLY", but if you buy this to here Lauryn sing you're missing the concept of the album. This is purely a FUGEE'S RAP special, not a Lauryn hill sing-a-long. Enjoy!

Hey pple ...for those who don't get it ..THIS IS UNDERGRUND STYLE NOT JUST RAP MUSIC..LOL ..love it

The cd is probably one of the better cd's I have listened to, but a couple of the songs aren't very good. I personaly like "Don't Cry Dry Your Eyes" the best. I also liked "Nappy Heads" quite a bit. Some of the songs I just plain did not like were "Woman No Cry" and the second version of "Ready Or Not" on the cd.

I bought this back when I liked the Fugees but now I don't(especially Lauryn Hill). But even then I didn't like it. It's really not that good at all(probably cuz these are bootlegs). Don't waste your money
