Right now I'm trying to help my sister with her school situation, 'cause she's real smart. Besides me, my other brother's a lawyer... my parents stressed education a lot.

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'm like Cab Calloway: I love the entertainment, and I've loved entertaining people ever since I was little.

What happens is we're all gonna return to dirt, so at the end of the day we're all equal.

When I'm rhyming it's all in my head... Like the slaves, when they were picking cotton, they would block out their minds. They would sing.

My dad was in the hood, he was a minister, and he would always put churches in the ghetto.

I've never really [written] something that was inspired.
