Editors Pick : Track Of The Week 7

You know what time it is! — Every Tuesday we’ve been hitting you with Editors Pick: Track Of The Week, for the past 7 weeks, and as a collaboration between Simply J and I, we decided that we’d do a throwback track at the end of each month. This week we are taking you back to 1996. Honestly we all remember the 90′s and for the most part, that had to be one of the best eras for music period; Hip Hop, R&B, Neo-Soul, and other genres as well.

This Hip Hop trio came out with a bang. I remember it like it was yesterday, my sister and I were in my grandmothers room sitting on her bed watching MTV. As the screen started to count down from 3 to 1, then leading into a small film, we were intrigued. The beat left us nodding our heads and jumping on my grandmas bed (knowing we’d prob get our asses whooped if she would have walked in, rotf). As catchy as the chorus was, we had no choice but to join in *sings “Oooh La La La, It’s the way that we rock when we’re doing our thang, Oooh La La La, It’s the natural LA that the Refugees Bring, Oooh La La La La La La Lalala La Laaah, Sweeeeet Thing” . . .

And now I present to you, Editors Pick: Track Of The Week (7) – “Fu-Gee-La” – The Fugees produced by Salaam Remi. You can find this highest-selling single on their grammy award winning album, The Score. The album in its entirety is one to remember, but this joint in particular had the ears of everyone. Wyclef, Pras, and Lauryn Hill left a dent in the Hip Hop community. We will never forget and will always wonder when they will reunite once again.

P.S. Lauryn, come back thanks !
