Reflecting on the recording process, Pras said: "At one point, the group had disbanded. The song's chorus is based on " Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by the Delfonics, which was an addition suggested by Wyclef Jean. According to Wyclef, "Luckily when Enya heard everything, she was like, ‘This is different’ and she gave us a pass – which she don’t even need to do." The situation was a learning experience for the group, who at the time were unaware of copyright clearance and unfamiliar with publishing procedures. It was a case of, I wasn't featured at all on the credits and it was very much a part of the song." However, the singer reached an agreement with the Fugees to an out-of-court settlement after she realized that their music wasn't gangsta rap. Enya stated, "We were actually on the verge of suing them because of the copyright infringement, because they just didn't approach us. Enya considered suing the Fugees because they had sampled "Boadicea" without her permission. The song contains a sample of "Boadicea" by New-Age singer, Enya from her first solo album, Enya (1987). "Ready or Not" was placed on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame list of the 'Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll'. The single has been certified Platinum in the UK and in the United States.ĭuring Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, Blender magazine published a list of his top ten favorite songs, and "Ready or Not" topped the list.

#FUGEES THE SCORE CD COVER PLUS#
If you want to see the band making some of the music for their final album then head over to Disney Plus and watch Get Back, the legendary album sessions that lead to Let It Be and some of Abbey Road.
UPDATE: Abbey Road is currently second in our best album covers of all time list. Originally just a protective cover for the fragile crackly goods beneath, it soon evolved into a space for artistic expression in its own right, very often becoming as important as the music itself. The rise of digital music, unfortunately though, threatens one of the greatest canvasses of art seen in the 20th Century - the record sleeve. With the rise of streaming the humble album cover is becoming something of a lost art, which is a crying shame as this list of the best album covers of all time proves that there is some amazing art for the long player.
