Artist: Fugees. Genre: Nigger?



I was going to copy my CD-single of Fugees' "Ready Or Not" to the computer, and popped it into the CD-drive. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, usually someone has written all the details and track names for most CD's and uploaded it to freedb.org, and CD-rippers like EAC can read this automatically, so you don't have to enter anything yourself when you want to rip something.

Look what someone wrote when they entered in the details for this single - when did Fugees start making music in the genre "nigger"? Incredibly racist.
