Bounty Killer feat. The Fugees, “Hip-Hopera (Mr. Punx)” (1996)

Before MTV’s Carmen and even Prince Paul’s Prince Among Thieves, Bounty and the Fugees realized the possibilities in hip-hop and opera. This song was not that well received at the time, but it’s aged nicely. Who can front on Wyclef singing,”Michael Jackson brought you Thriller, It made all the gunmen holler/ Refugees with Bounty Killer, Mack 11, guard your grilla” TUUUUUUUNE.
