Wyclef Jean isn't worried about how history will remember the rap group he was a part of with Lauryn Hill and Pras. The Fugees have sold over 25 million records worldwide and are considered one of the most influential groups of all time.
U2's Bono even referred to them as "Hip Hop's Beatles" when The Fugees were enjoying the success of their sophomore album, The Score, which is certified 22-times platinum. Wyclef admitted he didn't understand the compliment until he saw their fans packing stadiums with minimal promotion.
The Fugees are more than just a group of musicians, they are a movement. Wyclef explains that the name Fugees is short for refugees, and it's a message that they want to promote.
The Score, released in 1996, still resonates with fans today due to its strong messages of perseverance in the face of difficult situations. The group's love for their people has kept the album in rotation for many decades.
Wyclef believes that world peace is possible, and is something The Fugees promote. He is hopeful for the future, and says that anything is possible. Fans of the group can see them onstage celebrating Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill until Dec. 13.
