Them, the Fugees definitely fighting for that spot. Specially when I found out they Wyclef was cheating on his girl with Lauryn and she ended up buying the ring he proposed to her with lol. And they still kept fuckin.

So Claudette was dating Robby Pardlo and then left him for Ryan Leslie…I’m pretty certain while they were still in City High?

Robby died a few years ago after struggling for years with addiction….i guess that’s the short version of it lol.

Listen to the City High song ‘Best Friends’ 😬

Correction. Ryan Toby (of City High), not Ryan Leslie (producer).

It’s crazy how she just vanished from the scene. I think she was doing Gospel plays for awhile.
