Bootleg Versions (1997)

Details Lead Performance: The Fugees; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Bootleg Versions — a response by the Fugees to hip-hop bootleggers — is made up of revamped hits, courtesy of mix masters Clark Kent, Salaam, and others. Fugees followers may miss the thrill of a brand-new release — seven of the eight titles will be familiar, including two callbacks from the band's first, less popular album. But the one new tune, ''Don't Cry, Dry Your Eyes,'' should make their next record a much-anticipated one.
