Wyclef Jean wants The Fugees to get back together!

Posted in News on November 26th, 2009 by The Prophet

There’s been a whole lotta drama surrounding Hip-Hop supergroup The Fugees these past few years, with most of it stemming from the groups most famous member Lauryn Hill, but that hasn’t deterred Wyclef Jean who’s admitted in a recent interview that he’d love to see the band reunite.

“Yeah. And it’s actually a good question, because people within hip-hop don’t really care about groups like that, you know what I mean?,” Jean said in an interview with DJ Booth. “Once you’re done in hip-hop, you’re done. But somehow the Fugees is the soundtrack to everyone’s house. What I’m hoping is that this group really gets inspired by the new movement that I’m on right now, with the whole Warriors movement, the new music that I’ve got comin’ out, the movement with the youth, and I’m hoping they’ll get inspired and be like, ‘Yo, let’s find Clef and let’s get this thing crackin’.’ And it would be an honor to go in and make it a super album.” [source]

I guess Wyclef has forgotten what member Pras said about Lauryn Hill back in 2007 then?

“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.”

There’s certainly a lot of money to be made in a new Fugees album, with their 1996 sophomore album The Score selling almost 20 million copies and being considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Same goes for Lauren Hills solo record The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill to.

Do you think they’ll get back together. I don’t, but I can dream.
