In a recent interview with MTV, Wyclef spoke on his absence from the game, and his upcoming album, “The Carnival 2: Memoirs of an Immigrant” — the sequel to his debut, The Carnival. He’s also been busy on his production grind, doing tracks for artists like southern favorite T.I.
“My sound is definitely missing out there, it’s obvious,” ‘Clef said. “And basically, I just want to regroup with my family. I got my little brother with me — whenever you hear me say, ‘All hands on deck,’ that’s my brother Sedeck. And you know, of course, Jerry Wonder forever … you just have to, as a producer, sometimes step at it from the outside, see what’s going on inside, and attack it with a fresh edge.”
He is still formulating the first single, but it’s said to include Will.I.Am, and Nicole Scherzinger. “The whole idea is [like] the ‘Porgie and Bess’ joint, the Gershwin [opera]; so as a composer, we come in and compose all this material and then we throw the artist in the setting,”said Wyclef. “So we put them in the world and now everyone has to perform in that world.
“My cousin came with … an old [1965] sample from Haiti,” he continued. “It’s an old Compa; Compa is the rhythm of my country. So imagine now, we land in the West with this old-time [beat] and we go, ‘Check, Will,’ and Will is like, ‘OK, this is what you working with?’ And he jumps on it and throws some drums on top of it. Then I’m like, ‘OK, this is what you working with?’ Then I go in the booth and start jumping in. He goes in and starts jumping. And then next thing you know, Nicole happens to be there. Like, ain’t nothing rehearsed because we went in on a vibe.”
Pras recently deaded any chance of a Fugees reunion, and Wyclef seems shaky on the prospect of it as well, saying: “Just keep praying.” “But right now it doesn’t look too good. I would love to see it happen.”

Clefs ok. I dont really care though. Fuck Lauryn Hill. I hate that bitch.
Clef shit be original you gotta give him that much
Yea Ill give him that much. Some of his shit will pop into my head sometimes. Or randomly I'll sing his "eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhheeehehehehehhe". Or "if I was president" that was on Chapelle was a cool track too.
Hold Up Hold Up Hold Up Did Niggaz Just Say Fuck Lauryn Hill! Whoa watch ya mouth she is the only Vet with 1 album! Till this day the miseducation of Lauryn Hill is 20 dollars and no less than 15 dollars in any music store so that says alot for her. She dropped a classic! Now on to Wyclef he's a genius he's the islander Pharell he can make the carribean meet the hip hop world and make it blend! He needs to come back out word!

I thank you for comparing me to Roy Jones and Charles Barkley, but that's like saying Lauryn Hill is up there w/ the top musicians ever..that's not the case. I'm more talented than Lauren Lauryn w/e will ever be. I just haven't gotten my break. I'm 21 but I feel 137.
Thanks to sonny for knowing what I'm talking about. This is my last post on here b/c I'm not wasting anymore of my thoughts on a Wyclef thread.
yeaa, u cant call Lauryn Hill a legend, she had a classic album, but so did Drag-On and everyone 4got bout dat nicca too. And I hope Wyclef gets choked by Dylan again lol
