Free Music Notes for The Preacher's SonFree Music Review: Wyclef Jean brings what he didnt bring in Masquerade Hit: 5 StarsYOYOYO, ok, I have to say that, ALL OF WYCLEF'S CDs ARE GREAT...yes that includes Masquerade. I am only dissapointed that...THE FUGEES BROKE UP. They are by far the best rap group and truly defined hip-hop, but I am gettin off subject.Wyclef haves you feel his lyrics, sort of like 2Pac, yet in a reggae way.My favorite tracks are, "Celebrate"-Patty Lebelle is great on this track,"Take Me As I Am", this is probably my favorite track on the album, "Next Generation"-this track is tied with "Take Me As I Am"...So, go by the freakin CD, and dont be like the idiot who gave this album 2 stars, Its real R&B, I bet that is the kind of person that listens to Meatloaf or Marylin Manson, SO GET OFF THE HIP-HOP TURF, GOTH...
Free Music Review: Nice Hit: 5 StarsI'm gonna keep this short. Great album overall. Beats are ALWAYS bangin', the lyrics are usually on point, and major kudos to Clef for originality. That's hip-hop's biggest problem these days: Underground aside, almost everything mainstream out there has a weak-assed sameness to it, so many thanks to Clef for snapping the neck of monotony, and once again coming out with an inspired and different piece of work. Having sung his praises, though, there are a couple of occasions when his lyrics verge on the cheesy. But that happens infrequently enough that those moments can be forgotten in the overall brilliance of the album. Like I said, nice.
Free Music Review: Disappointment Hit: 2 StarsThis cd is so disappointing--it's basically R&B and not even good R&B! The only song I like is the baby momma song.
Free Music Review: Wyclef Jean- The Preacher's Son Hit: 5 StarsWyclef Jean's fourth solo album is "The Preacher's Son" (2003). First track I heard off this was "Industry" two months ago, when the video for it was being played, this track really impressed me, I liked how Wyclef dedicated it to everyone who loves Hip Hop, and remembered rappers, singers and the Princess who have died while talking about some of the current issues/events that have gone on, and are going on in Hip Hop. I also like the memorable chorus Wyclef sings on this one. Another single is going to be the party track "Party to Damascus" feat. Missy Elliot, fairly sure this is going to be one to blow up on the radio. "Celebrate" is my favorite track at the moment, Patti Labelle's appearance is excellent, making this a very memorable collabration and props to Wyclef for giving up and coming rapper Cassidy an appearance. "Baby Daddy" feat. Redman is about trying to be a father to another man's son, which is followed up by "Three Nights In Rio" feat. Carlos Santana. Another real standout for me is the deep "Class Reunion", Wyclef and Monica singing duet is soulful and impressive. Clef experiments with his vocal tones on the slow "Baby", and then the pace picks up "I am Your Doctor" feat. Wayne Wonder & Elephant Man a track for the ladies, while "Linda" is about a woman on the warpath. Wyclef seems a happy man on tracks like the love ballad "Take Me as I am" and comes real on "Grateful". Scarface and Rah Digga drop in for "Next Generation" another memorable collabration. "Rebel Music" is decent though I would of liked to see a longer appearance from Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Buja Banton drops in for next two tracks, which are followed up by the remix closer. Of these three the reggae based "Who Gave the Order" stands out the most. "The Preacher's Son", is one of those chilled out albums full of diverse and refreshing music, that a wide variety of people who listen to different music genres can enjoy. Recommend this one for the collection.
Free Music Review: CD Of The Year!! Hit: 5 StarsAfter being a long time hip hop head, I have to admit that I had never actually bought a cd by Clef before...but I decided to check this one out...I was blown away. This cd is everything that Steve Harvey says it is on the albums intro, and MORE. Clef stays true to his hip hop self (Industry, Party To Damascus, Baby Daddy etc). but then ventures into different genres. Check out "Baby", a classic soulful R&B joint, or "Three Nights in Rio" with Carlos Santana. Two standout tracks are "Linda" and "Take Me As I Am". Both songs will stay in your head all day. After hearing the songs for the first time, I was singing along with the whole cd. Every song you just need to sing along. I'm definately coppin' his first 3 cd's now. This along with Andre 3000's THE LOVE BELOW are by far cd's of the year. Believe dat...
