Dave Chapelle's Block Party (A Fugees Reunion?)
Fugees Reunion
Mon Sep 20, 5:15 PM ET Add Entertainment - E! Online to My Yahoo!
By Josh Grossberg
It was a concert for the ages--for those lucky enough to have known about it.
After an eight-year hiatus, innovative hip-hop supergroup the Fugees reunited and performed at a secret show organized by comedian Dave Chappelle over the weekend in Brooklyn.
Billed as Dave Chappelle's Block Party, Saturday's gig took place in the middle of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Ft. Greene and featured a who's-who of R&B and rap royalty, including Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Common, the Roots, Dead Prez, and Jill Scott.

I read about it, and I'm beyond jealous of New Yorkers today. But the worst part is that only a few hundred attended a FREE hip hop concert w/ those artists. Maaaaaaaaan, 
I really hope the Fugees get it together to make a new album. Hip Hop is lacking in several areas, and they could help fill a void.

So I take it that Lauryn and Wyclef have made up?

Seems like it. Maybe Lauryn’s change has allowed her to bury the bad vibes and move on, at the same time giving her wisdom not to get caught up Wyclef's creative madness.
I'm not trying to be funny but does this mean Pras is done with drugs?

Wow, I guess I've been MIA for a while, lol. So, for all of you wondering, I'm the one who went to the block party. Y'all this was by far, THE BEST concert I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of concerts. And it was FREE! The best part was when Lauryn came out. I couldn't believe my eyes! It took her a while to warm up, but when she did... Lauryn is BACK! Aside from her, Jill Scott was awesome, as usual. Everyone did a really good job. I'm really over Kanye, so I could have done without him. The only downside was that it rained off and on throughout the day (light spurts of drizzle) and it lasted about 9 1/2 hours. We couldn't drive there (they bussed everyone to the "secret" location), and they really frowned upon people leaving early because it was being taped. So, it was a looooong day, but SO worth it.
