This Vintage Pop Stardom episode of 'Greatest Pop Stars' flashes 30 years back to the year of 'The Score,' which made stars out of the three Fugees but never got a proper follow-up.

In 1996, Pras, Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean emerged from their New Jersey basement as unlikely conquering superstars, serving as both the culmination of various ’90s trends and a stark contrast to several others. As sophomore album The Score sold millions of copies, dominated MTV and radio and topped the Billboard 200 for a month, each of the rap trio was prepped for solo stardom — or at least solo hits — in the years to come. But the Fugees never properly reconvened, as personal drama and diverging agendas split the group later in the decade, and made it near-impossible for them to reunite in the years that followed.
