gift cd I heard no negative feedback so I expect this to be an ok product!!!. I can not really review this product as it was a gift.
Ecleftic is right
This is the 3rd time I've purchased it, the other two I either lost or got scratched from use/abuse. I've liked this album. Now with mp3 technology I just keep this one with the rest of my collection. Wyclef is so diverse and brilliant I recommend this to anyone who likes good beats and fusion of rap/rock/hip-hop/dance/country and everything else you can think of. .
Wyclef is Awsome!!!!!
He can blend hip-hop, country, jazz, rock, soul, reggae etc. He may not be the best rap artist we have ever heard/seen, but he definatly is one of the most diverse artists out there. . . And make it come out sounding like a masterpiece that was meant to be. Take "Kenny Rogers Dub Plate" for instance, Kenny's version was country to the extreme, but Wyclef blended it together with Pharoahe Monch, and made it sound hip-hopish. On "911" Wyclef sings a soulful melody with Mary J. Blige, then shows more diversity on the club song "Perfect Gentleman". He ends the album with "Wish You Were Here" which shows off his singing again, as well as his great guitar playing skills. My favorite track though, is the funny, yet hip "It Doesn't Matter" which features The Rock, and again showcases Wyclefs diversity & talents. All in all it's a good album, and definatly worth adding to any collection. .
Listen...
You cannot put a whitney houston cover with a Pink Floyd cover . . . . period. . . it is not right chico. . . "it don't mix" if you can understand my english. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. . . so I know about the underground. I love wyclef and I understand what the kid is trying to do, but it does not work. Your No woman no cry cover is really chill. but don't press your luck my friend. . . . whish you were here just does not sound right.
This man take risks , make mistakes and is original
Wyclef jean take risks , so all the songs are not the at the same level . I think this a very creative record . But a record that have Diallo among the tracks deserves serious listening and deep attention. Period.
I give to it 5 stars for its artistic achievements ( and because Earth , Wind and Fire appear !!).
