    How do you love rap when rap doesn’t love you back? From Rico Nasty’s harassment from toxic Carti fans, to Saucy Santana's unapologetically femme aesthetics in a queerphobic industry, to the assault case that put Megan Thee Stallion’s entire image on trial, each episode of Louder Than A Riot - the second season of our investigative hip-hop podcast - unpacks the unspoken rules of rap that hold the entire culture back. Tap in to our first episode at n.pr/louder-season-2.

      If I was speaking as a black man, I would say that one of the big issues rap faces is the overwhelming number of rap 'artists' who have little to no musical ability. (And, yes, you can list rappers who do, in fact, have musical ability. Wyclef Jean def has it, and lots of it. But so many don't, and are only able to spit lyrics in a monotone, and cannot write a musical hook to save their lives)
      Added to this is the fact that anger, misogyny, ego-gratification, drive so much of the world of rap that it turns off and shuts out a huge slice of the public. Again, exceptions exist. But there are so many rappers who follow that formula that it's a dead-end.
      And if one wants to point out that rap music sells millions of dollars worth every year, you'd be right. But that is more a function of great marketing and a successful plan to convince young listeners that rap is musical, rather than any real musical value.
      Word.

    Wyclef has to be one of the more underrated artists around. He's an absolute pillar in Hip Hop history with his bars and MC work with the Fugess, and then he has a beautiful singing voice and can play and compose with multiple instruments weaving that all together. Respect.

    • @808Living.com-Patrick
      @808Living.com-Patrick ปีที่แล้ว

      Completely agree. Underrated.
      He’s too big for the Tiny stage

    Only Wyclef can spit bars in Spanish, French, and English calling Trump out! I don't think people realize the musicality of this man. NPR you continue to feed my soul with great music.

    • @DavidKlausa
      @DavidKlausa 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      I'd like to hear more of him in Spanish and French. The way he uses them here feels like a gimmick designed to impress and build a brand of eclecticism, without doing anything substantial with it. Reggie Watts does this too. It's cool to play with languages but it doesn't automatically make you brilliant/talented or mean you actually speak it. (I realize WJ does at least speak French.)

    • @brandonmatthews4934
      @brandonmatthews4934 7 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      David Klausa Wyclef is from Haiti they speak French. Plus the Dominican Republic is right next to them. So most people from the Caribbean is bi or trilingual.

    • @DavidKlausa
      @DavidKlausa 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's why I said I realize he speaks French. And probably knows some Spanish. Still feels like a gimmick, until he does it for longer, more in depth. I've seen a couple other videos of him freestyling in other languages and it's brief, basic, repetitive.

    • @rustayballs
      @rustayballs 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Agreed - what Wyclef says in Spanish is not in any way related to Trump (it`s more or less `hey lady, how are you and your family, I`m coming at you on the mic, I hope everything is good). My French isn`t as good so not entirely sure what he is saying there.
      th-cam.com/video/EhnLJwmEy_k/w-d-xo.html
      All that said - I love this show and Wyclef is still a legend.
      Everybody stop requesting other artists and appreciate what you are listening to. I love Vulf too, trust.

    This is the most impressed I have ever been out of a tiny desk, and that is saying something because Tiny Desk Series is amazing. He played 3 different instruments, rapped and sang in 3 different languages, and kept the crowd engaged the WHOLE time with his stories/jokes. Such a performer... I am in awe.

    I saw Wyclef perform quite a few times and he puts his heart and soul into every performance regardless of where it is or how many people are there. I saw him at a bar in my home town. I was literally right next to him for most of the performance, that’s how small the place is. Yet he gave us one of the best performances I’ve ever seen (live or otherwise). He is a true artist.

    Anything he does is magnetic, just phenomenal, and he barely seems like hes trying, such an inspiration to alp musicians out there, young , old, good, terrible, red, black , white, or yellow, he's the MAESTRO,
    I always play ANY thing hes touched when i feel down & blue, or just need some musical schooling, soul lifting, or want to be elevated & lifted, thank you Wyclef,

      +Paco Aguilar agreed. I'm a big fan of this tiny desk but he fucks up so many elements of it. Bass solo on the first song he should leave to the bassist and just play the root notes himself, keyboard solo on the second is terrible and he fucks up when he should be coming in on vocals a lot and third song is just some horrible guitar playing with a terrible rap in the middle. He's clearly a big talent but should let the experts do their thing and not try to steal the limelight.

    Wyclef is a a damn stud, a legend. Guy is a master. Guy ripped this session. He's too real for this world. Turn me good is honestly one of the best songs made. People need to listen to this.

    Probably the coolest guy on the planet. He came to my nightclub Costas in Palm Desert Ca a couple of times and was so nice and listened to every person that approached him. Love and respect🤙

    Tiny Desk definitely deserves the best music channel. But I also don't want the whole world to see/listen, because I want to keep it to myself, so selfish. It just feels good after I come home late night after work. Perfect selection of musicians to set the mood too. Thank you. So much respect for keeping music alive.

    I remember when Blacks taught children seven languages. What disciplines we had. GReenHill farms made us proud of our culture. Proud of who we are. TIME is a group. Relaunch the sounds that we appreciate .

    wyclef is the TRUTH!!! i love his energy and he is so talented. Don't get me wrong the Fugess is so important to this hip hop music but Wyclef is defiantly underrated. The carnival is way before our time and still one of my top 10 albums of all time...one of my favorite desks visit..

    I don't know what amends Wyclef has made since 2007 with his Haiti charity, but the message of peace and love in this Tiny Desk Concert is something I can get behind.
