The Score »rank: 4268 by: Fugees (Refugee Camp) 0ur Review: :Their remake of 'Killing Me Softly' was the hit, but that's only the beginning of the story.

The envelope-ripping beats shouldn't come as a surprise given that he's supplied the soundscapes to monster singles by everyone from Alicia Keys ('You Don't Know My Name') to Talib Kweli ('Get By').
