Carnival


Although I am not much of a fan of hip-hop and Wyclef Jean these days, I fondly recall discovering his first solo album via some old acquaintances in my youth. He deserves props for trying to fit together R&B, Haitian, Cuban, reggae and hip-hop influences (there's even an opera influence) together in a single album. If only he didn't have so many damn interludes! That would cut down on the length of the album and what is really his only great work post-Fugees.
