The Course

Ready or Not

1996 · via Fugees

The Course’s recording of “Ready or Not” came out in 1996, the earliest year on file; Fugees’ came out the same year. Thom Bell, William Hart, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michel are credited as its writers. Also recorded by Rudimental (released 2014), Space Invadas feat. DANK (released 2012) and The Fray (released 2012), among 86 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.

From the counter

The Fugees didn't write "Ready or Not" alone: Thom Bell and William Hart are on that credit right next to Lauryn, Wyclef and Pras. And The Course had it on record before them, so put their take next to the one you know and listen for what each crew pulled out of it.
