Wyclef Jean
Comment:
Born in Haiti and relocated to Brooklyn at the tender age of nine, Wyclef Jean is one of hip-hop's true everymen: an outspoken activist, jazz-trained guitarist, fearless producer, free-flowing MC, and ambassador of cross-cultural collaborations that sound absolutely seamless. Who else can say they've worked with Paul Simon, Patti LaBelle, Santana, Destiny's Child, Shakira, the New York Philharmonic, Mary J. Blige, Black Eyed Peas . . . and, well, the list goes on and on? On top of all that, Jean was a key part of the Fugees alongside Pras and Lauryn Hill, a trio that's [i]still[/i] considered one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time despite releasing only two albums. It helps that one of them, 1996's [i]The Score[/i], left behind a legacy, making hip-hop safe — and profitable — for alternative rap types like Mos Def, Talib Kweli, the Roots, and Common. Now if only they'd reunite for more than random shows. Until then, we'll be watching Jean's every move behind the boards and at the mic.
