Why the hell was Wyclef Jean speaking in a Jamaican accent on TI's You know what it is ?

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Why the hell does Wyclef Jean do any of the embarrassing shyt he does?

 

[I AM WE ARE]

didn't someone drop damn near a whole album using a fake accent

 

[Buckeye Fever]

lol who cares it sounds cool and thats probably why he does it. No one is criticizing Krayzie Bone when he does that shyt

Krayzie>>>>>Wyclef

 

[Buckeye Fever]

For as much as TI talks about jail and other things slowing down his mainstream momentum

it was really this album. Universally panned not even his stans fukked with it

You loved that album back on sohh. Dont front

 

[get these nets]

"and with help of the doctor Dre...........kick it"

Nah fan, I don’t thiinks there 4 songs on that entire double disc that I care about

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Nah fan, I don’t thiinks there 4 songs on that entire double disc that I care about

It was so underwhelming I only remember 3 songs

Big shyt Poppin'-Dope
You Know What it is-meh
Touchdown-

 

[bordeaux]

never cared much for wyclef but always liked this song and my swag to a lesser extent. album wasnt bad at all.

 

[Cuban Pete]

There's a reason LL Cool J did the song Rasta Imposter

Uncle L smoked that nikka something horrendous like he did Canibus too

Only wyclef song I like is the joint with Cypress Hill cuz he shouts out the Cubans meeting the Haitians, ironically Cypress always tryna claim Mexican same way he claim Yard flavor

 

[get these nets]

Chuck D delivered a crazy subliminal to dudes doing this at the beginning of this record

 

[MajesticLion]

lol who cares it sounds cool

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I didn't even know it was Wyclef until this thread lol

I have heard this song probably a thousand times and to this day, I don't get why Wyclef Jean who's Haitian was speaking in a Jamaican accent.

Here's the actual music video:

I always thought it was interesting that only 2 singles were released from that "T.I. vs T.I.P." album. It must've been a disappointment.

How do you feel about the next album? I thought he went with too much of pop/mainstream/commercial sound on it & it turned me off.
