Wyclef Jean: The Ambassador of Peace
Wyclef Jean has superseded his role as a Rapper/Hip-Hop artist. He is one of the few mainstream artists who has utilized his infuluence in music industry to agitate, inspire and uplift the people of Haiti. Music has always been a vehicle for change in the Black Community, but in recent years it has been blinded and overshadowed by money, bling, and debauchery. Wyclef Jean demonstrates a clear distinction from the norm. He doesn’t seem to be as concerned about record sells as he is about the elevation of the Haitian people. God bless that brother. Peace to Haiti!

& i also like Wyclef Jean too.

I repeat, I said that once yet, I've a visitor whose father was a great writter in Haiti and Haiti was French. He was a defendor his culture. And our President Mitterand asked to him to work for that in his governement
It's good to have enough courageous person to accept to have such responsability : defend their own culture
Sounds like music IS the real thing with him.
Were blessed with more of his sobriety...
I agree. I think that many of our rap artist should become more conscious. It would help some of our young people out a great deal because that's who they look up to.

I agree with you to support artists that stands for peace. We need a lot of it in the world now...
And really, I'm approaching to your blog as a tavern of wisdom. I'd have thought about a cave, but it's scary and you're frendly instead. So I think that the image that fits is a big table, with people chatting but above all LISTENING the right things...
I'm learning a lot by your blog. Thank-you so much! :-)
