6. The Fugees - The Beast One of the first hiphop albums I bought, The Score still holds up so well today. Lauryn Hill in particular dazzles throughout and her second verse on The Beast remains an all-time favourite; witty, sharp, and perfectly delivered. open.spotify.com/track/3FFDBb...

The Beast - includes Chinese restaurant skit

Song · Fugees, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Pras · 1996

7. Joni Mitchell - The Circle Game A voice unlike any other and surely one of the greatest lyricists ever. Her music is so incredibly beautiful. It was a close tossup between Both Sides Now and this but The Circle Game has a very special place in my heart. open.spotify.com/track/6MYDgk...
