My first record wasn't even with the Fugees. I was signed to Big Beat Records, so I was signed back in 1989 to the label that the Knocks are on now. You can always tell which generation had the pulse based on how they see things.

I always want to know what's wrong with you, why you ain't smiling. That's just my character; I just love people and want to see people having a good time.

My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.

I want people to experience what it's like being from Haiti, coming to America, being Wyclef - multicultural, multilingual.

When you find the talent, it's always raw, and when you put the talent in the formula, you get the Knocks.

Rap records don't make you feel good no more. Six months after release, it can't come back as a classic

At the end of the day, just know that God made you, so you can be your own individual, and don't let people give you that peer pressure.
