Wyclef Jean Reveals The Only Man That Could Get The Fugees Back Together Again

Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 9:00 AM

It’s reaching a decade since fans have the seen The Fugees happy and onstage together. But in a recent interview with Wyclef Jean, the rapper provided a glimpse of hope for a reunion to actually happen. And according to Wyclef, the only person who is capable of orchestrating a Fugees reunion is Dave Chappelle. It seems odd that a comedian is the only one who could bring Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, and Pras Michel back together, but Wyclef says it’s because the influencer is a huge fan. “What could put the Fugees back together? Okay. Wyclef’s gonna tell you: Dave motherf*cking Chappelle,” Wyclef said in an interview with Uproxx . “Dave really loves, and admires, and understands that intellectual property of rap. For us, it was re-invention, it was incredible.” Read more: vibe.com

Wyclef Jean Ft. Lunch Money Lewis & The Knocks “What Happened To Love,” Twista “Disrespectful” & More

Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 8:00 AM

Wyclef Jean sure knows how to get a party started with an uptempo tune. In his visuals to “What Happened To Love” the Brooklyn Carnival artist tears a page out of Andre 3000’s book and becomes a man of many hats (or wigs) depending on which instrument he’s playing at the moment. Anyone ever call 9-1-1 for that shorty that shot him in the heart? Heard she was five-foot-four. Speaking of bodily harm, Twista gets his horror movie on and takes a few hostages into his dungeon chamber where all hope gets lost in his ominous clip to “Disrespectful.” Check out the rest of todays drops including work from Steve Aoki featuring Gucci Mane & T-Pain, Jacquees featuring Ty Dolla $ign & Quavo, and more.
