Free Music Notes for The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book
Free Music Review: Rap at its best
Hit: 5 Stars
Wyclef is simply a genius. He writes song with meaning like "Where Fugees At" and "Diallo", he writes song with emotions like in "911." I'm tired of people rapping about sex and violence all the time. It's getting old and redundant. But then Wyclef releases an album like this and restores my faith in the rap community. I hope others follow suit and stray away from the "standards" for rap. I understand that style is supposed to be "gangsta," but there most be more they can say. Public Enemy found a way. Anyway, this is clean rap (another refreshing moment) and good rap. Nice beats and strong lyrics. A must buy.Free Music Review: It's all bangin'

I mainly picked up Wyclef's new album because i loved the Fugees album. The only song i had ever heard off this record was "It doesnt matter" with the Rock. But after hearing the rest of the album... That song doesnt even compare to half the songs on the CD. Wyclef showed his diversity with different beats and different styles and it flat blew me away. I was reading the other reviews about "the ecleftic- 2 sides 2 a book" and everyone seemed to neglect the final track on the CD. It is a cover of Pink Floyd's "wish you were here" But it is not like any other remake. Puff Daddy should take notes on how Wyclef remade a song but didnt ruin the integrity and greatness of a true classic. This cover of Pink Floyd and the use of Earth, Wind, & Fire in "runaway" showed me that Wyclef truly has respect for the people that have come before him! Plus the great club style beat and catchy chorus in "Perfect Gentlemen" will be bouncin' in your head all week. And finally... i dont have much to say about the track "Something about Mary" except- Wyclef can play a guitar with the best of them. Yo go check out Wyclef's newest and best effort ever!later- WALKER

This album should come with a warning: it stinks. There are perhaps four tracks worth listening to, which are or are going to be the singles. Otherwise, the skits and other songs do not even begin to compare favorably with "The Carnival" or any other mildly intellectual album in hip-hop. The album's lyrics are shallow, the beats sound like they were composed in about ten seconds, and all in all it seems like Wyclef phoned this one in to Columbia, rather than taking the time to produce something worthy of his talent. And the rendition of "Wish You were Here" is insulting; for all his shout-outs to guitar legends and his boasts about how we have to "peep his guitar skills," it sounds like some beginning guitar student in his second lesson being shown how to use both hands at, gasp, the same time!Free Music Review: richard diagnosis

His album was very good but he could of did better.Compared to the carnival, all the songs were perfect. On this album, he only has one good song "thug angels". That's my opoinon.Free Music Review: Really Great

I really liked this album. I had never heard Wyclef Jean until he collaborated with the Rock with It Doesn't Matter. I like the first 12 songs the best. Then I think he gets almost too diverse. I know I won't be very popular with this, but I thought Diallo went on too long. I laughed out loud at Red Light District and Something about Mary. Wyclef combines so many great beats with really cool lyrics. It doesn't matter was probably my most favorite song. I think, like Diallo, that Hollywood to Hollyhood went on too long. But overall, this was a great album.
