My father being a Caribbean minister, one day I stole the radio. The radio that I stole, I took it to school, showing off how big this boom box was and how bad I was at the time. Once my father figured out where I left the radio, he then got his belt and he walked me, he beat me all the way to where I had hid the radio, and with the boom box.

Once you're done in hip-hop, you're done.

My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.

I like to go against the grain, against what's out there. Every day is like a challenge.

I grew up in a Caribbean family household, so the parents are always right. My father smacked me up til I was 20. It was a strict household.

What a lot of people don't know is that Wyclef started off as a battle rapper, when he decided that he would rhyme.

I feel that life is short, so we should be disciplined, but at the same time we should have a good time.
