Ready or Not (Fugees song)
"Ready or Not" is a song by the American hip hop group The Fugees, from their second studio album ''The Score'' (1996). The song contains a sample of "Boadicea" by Enya, and its chorus is based on "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" by The Delfonics. While "Ready or Not" was a minor hit in the Fugees' native United States, the song was most successful in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it topped the charts. It remained at that position for two weeks, becoming their second chart-topping single of 1996 in Britain, following Killing Me Softly.〔(The Fugees UK chart info ) Chartstats.com. Retrieved 23 May 2009.〕 Singer Enya was prepared to sue the group for copyright infringement, because she had not permitted the group to sample the song "Boadicea", from her 1986 album ''Enya''. She eventually settled out of court.

== Video ==
Vibe reported that the The Fugee’s “Ready or Not” video helped usher in the era of bank-breaking, movie-like hip hop videos. The video featured helicopters, explosions, sharks, chase scenes, and a price tag of 1.3 million dollars. In justifying the cost, Pras told Vibe “People want to see drama, man. You figure: A kid pays sixteen dollars for your CD. Let him see a good video." 〔(Gimme the Loot ) Vibe, February 1998〕
