FUGEES ROCK 8,000 IN HOLLYWOOD REUNION CONCERT: Group takes live show to corner of Hollywood and Vine.
*About 8,000 Fugees fans were given free tickets from Los Angeles radio stations to see them perform live at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Hollywood.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Monday’s concert began with Wyclef taking the stage first with a 10-minute freestyle rap, part of which was recited in Spanish and French.
Lauren Hill, always the fashion plate, wore a waist-length fur jacket, while Pras Michel was described as wearing a “peach summer jacket.” Both joined Wyclef on stage as the backing band began to play.
The crew ripped into a 20-minute version of “Zealot,” which targets fake MCs, then flowed into “Ready or Not,” “Fu-Gee-La” and their new single "Take It Easy." The group led fans in a sing-along to the Spanish classic "Guantanamera" and Mya's "Ghetto Superstar" before performing their biggest-selling hit, "Killing Me Softly."
Wyclef took command of the evening, jumping offstage to get the audience pumped and climbing up a light tower to perform. The Hollywood Reporter says: “Although Hill is the most beloved of the three performers, it is Wyclef's energy that fuels this ship. The Fugees have not lost a step and are a welcome re-addition to a genre dominated too long by gangsta rap.”
