Whats the intro song?
@@calculus8219 is to get back
I remember when the Fugees reunited and performed at Dave Chappelle’s block party. In the words of Dave Chappelle, we really witnessed “a miracle”. Nobody thought they were ever going to get back together due to how thick Clef and Lauryn’s beef was. That was the cherry on top of that whole block party. Wish I could’ve been there
Shit was on my block
There were two block parties. One in NY and one in Ohio. I saw the lesser...
@@miketime4290 Stop lyin lol
100
I was there, shit was so crazy lit the whole week!!
In other words...we fumbled the bag, were young and didn't know what we had, started personal relationships instead of keeping it business, we can't change it now so we have to accept it and move on...
Pretty damn much sums it up!
🤣
Right I was wondering about the Temptations comparison because as far as I know Otis wasn’t sleeping with any of his group members 🤣🤣
@@richthebarberrs519 technically true that, but not just Otis was sure damn mixing pleasure with business though. It doesn’t have to be an inbreeding type of pleasure but essentially being whored and strung-out on all types of sensual carnality.
@@richthebarberrs519 you deserve recognition for this comment. lol
Wyclef sure knows how to dip around a question...
doesn't he? lol, it's hilarious how much he's ducking like hell
Manipulative ass Libra! 😂
True but he also don’t want to dig up 20-25 year old bones. People move on. Not to mention they have kids and may just want to keep that to themselves. Everything isn’t to spoken about just for our entertainment. That shit affected their lives
If you think he dipped, then you are plainly dumb. I can't mince words. He poetically tells you that people grew apart.
Bro he's a low-key politician of course he knows how to dodge questions lmao c'mon now !!! It's all a game son !!! 💯💯💯✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Lauren would have never made Miseducation if the Fugees had not broken up and Wyclef would not have made Carnival. Creatively their breakup allowed them to grow in different ways to create those masterpieces. So although The Score was also a masterpiece I would much rather have gotten what they ultimately gave us than to have gotten 2 more The Scores.
Same
💯
TRUE!
💯
Not true that would’ve happened anyway they wanted to do solo albums like the wu tang did
Wyclef is so underrated, and doesn't get the credit he deserves.
Agreed!
As much good he did didn’t outweigh the destruction he caused
@@TheKattEffect facts..he. Did so damage that the group couldn't be repaired
💯
He’s garbage. Watch any real live performances… all hype, horrible musical skills. The architect was John Forte, who rarely gets the credit he deserves.
“Nappy Heads” is still my joint till this day 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Yo Mona Lisa can I get a date on Friday and if you’re busy I wouldn’t mind a date Saturday ay ay day ay ay round up the posse Fugee comin around the way” love that joint mayne
The remix is 🎯
Wyclef is one of those dudes that think he's deeper than he actually is. Dude, just say...."we broke up because I was married and f*cking Lauren." Trying to make it sound all deep.
Correct!!! And he tried to say LH's son is his knowing he belongs to Rohan Marley
😂
Pretty much this. He acts like he don’t understand why Lauren don’t want nothing to do with him. He did her super dirty. Pras told him not to mess with the girl and he did it anyway. I like Wyclef as a producer and musician but the answer to why the Fugees broke up is simple, Wyclef fucked it up.
@@apoclypse he did fucked it up
EXACCCTLY.... 🙄
Crazy how the elevation of certain people, would have never thought or see Hoffa interviewing legends and having great convo .. peace & bless
Levelling up is real
Hoffa been had relationships with these cats, he legit was supposed to be the next big thing outta NYC at one point.. ain't too many of these legends that don't know him and got love for him
Math be having heavy hitters on his jawn. Preciate your content lord. Salute!!!
“All the artists who showed me that they liked me… I knew they were gonna make it.”
I cant believe Wyclef just sat here and said that he's 52 years old it makes me sad how fast time flies this man was a part of my childhood that Carnival album came out I had to be probably almost 20 years old 21
“Took one bit and you took the food away” I felt that
I love the Fugee's music and legacy. Each member has given me a soundtrack to a moment in my life. Yes, Pras as well. Once I listened to his album w/out comparing him to Clef and LH, I heard his voice. I can see why the Fugee's broke up. 2 passionate artist. The same vibe that brought them together (musically & physically) is the same energy that broke their bond. Great interview bro. I'm learning from ya!
Pras got one song. But it's legit a moment in time. Good thing they let Ol Dirty on that record. RiP
The Fuguees had such a Vibe and a legacy that can never be duplicated.. Its sad to see them fall apart.
I agree with Wyclef, never mix business with pleasure. Keep both separated and good luck!
Math I appreciate your fam for asking him a straight up question
Clef messed up the group with his ego and adultery. Love his solo’s and musical genius but The fugees were Magic.
Messed up canibus career and a lot of artists that didn’t come out. Straight devil
@@SpooneyLuv they messed around
Clef seems like a narcissist tbh.
@@SpooneyLuv Wyclef was (and still is) married at the time he and Lauryn fooled around... She ended up getting pregnant as well, but terminated the pregnancy. When she got pregnant the second time (Rohan Marley being the father), Wyclef became enraged and wanted her to terminate again.
@@SpooneyLuv no problem, dear...
This a gem! 💎
Man made "If I was president" then actually tried to become president in Haiti. Shits deeper than music. That Fugees Reunion tour needs to keep pushin tho 🙏🏼
And then stole a bunch of money
@@romeod7549 and you’re a jealous hater
Crazy that they did one album and it solidified them as one of the best groups of all time with one of the best albums ever made.
2 albums, bruh...
2🧚🏿♀️ Possibly 3, the remix album.
😂😂😂
Blunted On Reality was their first album, The Score was the second. Salaam Remi's remix of "Nappy Heads" was what sealed them as a group to listen out for.
Yeah no shit. I wasn't talking about the first album. I was talking about the score. The only album they did that matters
Ironically the same thing happened with the group named "City High" that Wyclef discovered. They mixed business with pleasure.
Yup
Dag you’re right
What happened to them? I remember they had that hit "what would you do?"
She was decent too I woulda got her pregnant too lol
@@metalfacedoom4820 Claudette Ortiz dated both the members.
Fave wyclef song.... "it doesn't matter" 🔥
He said age doesn't matter when u in the music industry...Yeah we all know that's what is happening but IT REALLY DOES MATTER. IT'S TIME to protect these young artists instead of Grooming & Exploiting them.
Lets go hoffa
Salute to Wyclef a legend ..been a conscious bro.since back .
I bought tickets for the Show in Paris next February. I really hope they’ll make it
He did answer that beautifully.
Ain't a thing changed, Math's right hand will still light you up.
Super facts! The Score is what made me love Hip Hop. & not to have another one is fucked up. Nobody rap like LH in my opinion greatest female mc. Imagine Score 2 Damm.
Wyclef was explaining the process of evolving as a person but remaining at the top no matter what...longevity. They left on top so they will always remain there...thats deep.
Math! What can I say? BROOKLYN!!! Big tings, keep doing ya thing kid the growth is crazy! 🇵🇷
One love 🌻🇿🇦
Legendary…PRICE JUST WENT UP!!!! 👑👑👑
WATCHING A YEAR LATER.... listening to him and i go to comment about how much of a spinster he is an what do ya know.... my comment from 1yr ago pops up... stating the same position... safe to say my feelings and his message still rings the same
🖐🛑🤔Wyclef gave the POLITIAN's ANSWER🤔 👉So basically "forget all ya'll that wanted more FUGEE's" , my SOLO career (EGO) was more important and I'm good with the TURN OUT"
💯
Hoffa Gang
Every group that we love had a slight breakup or some sort of friction from mobb deep to outkast to tribe to the wu....that love for yo peoples and direction of greatness changes as people grow.... Good shit big hoffa...
Not the LOX …
@@tyrellwilliams317 that's facts....some groups handle they discrepancies in the camp better than others...
@@tyrellwilliams317 Lox defenitely the exception to that rule. They know their roles and each one supports each others goals, Jada said this in one of his interviews. Plus they treat each other like family as opposed to just being friends.
Not OutKast either, not sure where you got that from. They best friends. Breaking up don’t mean they had friction, Andre just didn’t wanna be famous. They were still friends throughout.
@@cliffh.2432 this sounds right....I just know that we you rap with others in a group everyone's individual vision aint for the overall of the group....im sure nigga done at least argued...its hard to with your brother/homie....
Bro is such a real interviewer. But, Clef made a good point. Things happen for reasons. The breakup spawned other incredible Music. But, I feel him though.. because I felt that way about never getting another Black Star album. Just for them to come back yeaaars later and drop 3 singles, and not drop an album. “Bright as the Stars,” was fire too.
Yea we got a whole unreleased Black Star album in the Can. I pray it comes out
Clef dropped a few gems on this joint 🙏🏿
Bruh! ...Clef bringin' up Carnival. I had to go back and listen to "Street Jeopardy" shit is 🔥.
The Carnival was my ish! 🔥🔥🔥
Why is cleff talking in Riddles?
I want another Lauryn album
Me too, but she won't do it. That album was personal and a snap shot of her mental antennae and internal heartbreak. Artists fear not being able to live up to the hype of previous projects, so she puts out small things here and there.
Hope we get some new music from them
That lacoste sweat suit is 🔥🔥🔥
Carnaval Álbum was fire … and still holds up today
The answer to your question we can go back to temptations , literally ..
Wycliffe is giving up game right now🔥🔥🔥
That chain is off the chain 🔴
I want to know why did the brotha Wyclef had the CEO of Land Rover on his shoulders and then dropped him on his head.... WTH
Will always loved this group and miss education was best cd.
From the minute I heard plus saw MONA LISA aka NAPPY HEADS I was a fan of THE FUGEES‼️…. then they dropped their sophomore album THE SCORE in 1996…. and it’s been musical history ever since‼️🏆🏆🏆👉🏽👩🏽👨🏽👨🏾
That was a deep answer from Wyclef. The question didn't really get answered though lol.
He's s double taker, henced why he wants to get into politics
I was listening 🎶 to the fugues before the score🤔 Tracks like "I'm living like their ain't no tomorrow", 💥💥💥 You knew from that track they were coming with a different type of vibe and fire🔥
Enough said fair play
Zoe’s in the building 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
We grow into new people every day of our lives. But I gotta say, Wyclef snapped with that Dave Chappelle voice!!
Wyclef hitting Lauryn killed the Fugi’s
To this day, the skits on The Carnival kills me!!😂😂😂 🔥🔥🔥🔥you probably have to be Haitian or an islander to really get it
The best way to explain it is that the end of the day its night time....😄
I feel when its so much talent in one group egos start to play a part and then it goes downhill. The firm was a dope group but egos killed it. Same with fugees.
Fugees didn’t break up over egos. Wyclef n Lauryn was dating but clef already had a lady. Their relationship turned sour and that broke the group up.
Ecleftic is a classic.
Lauren and Wyclef had a relationship. Lauren Hill's The "ex-factor" was about him. Two band members were dating basically.
Yup
Don’t forget about “Lost Ones” by Lauryn. That one was about Clef too. “It’s funny how money change a situation/Miscommunication lead to complication/My emancipation don’t fit your equation/I was on the humble, you on every station…”
1:44 StuDenTs of the GAMe!!
Just say you don’t wana answer the question Clef 😂
Lauryn Hill broke that mans heart. dont let him fool ya
He was married so ummm he broke his wife’s heart😴🥱
If Math ever gets Eminem on his show, its going to break the internet
Clef has a good point and I’ve heard Yasiin say as much concerning the Black Star album: We act like these people owe us something-and treat them like they owe us something-instead of just being thankful for what they’ve already given. Also, not everyone is Prince or Stevie Wonder. Not everyone-hell, almost no one-is gonna have a catalogue that spans decades. Maybe these people have already given us what they had to give. We don’t think about things from the artists’ point of view, only from the consumers’. And what does it mean to consume? To take. “Gimme, gimme, gimme.” “You owe us.” “We feel jerked.”
Yea Yasiin Had a Great Point with that. People were offended but I overstand what he was saying.
💪🏾
He A Master Spin Artist... Remember He's In Politics To... He definitely not answering the questions 😂😂😂😂
EXACTLY, he had me so lost...I kept wondering..."dude, when the fuck are you going to answer the damn question" nevermind watching the full interview if this is a synopsis of what is in that shit, lol
I’m not even gonna lie What the hell was wyclef talking about 😅😂 mans was saying a whole lotta nothing. He lost me half way through the video
They reunited recently for a small pop up concert
He saying a lot of nothing, just address the question big man cha
That’s it … that’s all !!!!
Wow in 5 languages?! 😱
The key word in this interview was “Evolution.” Take heed.
Facts! 💪🏾💯
🎱🖤 #DEDICATEDSURVIVORS
Yo Why People Front On Pras Yo?! His Hit "Ghetto Superstar" With ODB & Mya Is A Timeless Record Hell His Solo Album Isn't Even Bad.... There's A Reason The Fugees Consisted Of Three Members & Not Two.....
I'm not 100 % sure if he answered the question directly, but another Fugees album would be dope!
Wyclef “At the End of the Day” Jean
The Carnival was a dope album
Oh damn
🗣️🗣️🗣️
Clef is saying a whole lot without actually answering the questions. Just say that y’all broke up because money and egos got in the way.
It's cause he smashed Lauryn & everything fucked up but he can't say that anymore. That's what he meant by mixing business with pleasure
At the end of the day
Dood with the long hair basically asking clef “how did you let life happen.” Life just happens the way it happens. It would be like asking you, “how did you become a dude sitting next to math Hoffa that nobody knows?” You could be the most amazing person and I’m going to concentrate on what you didn’t do because it could’ve been bigger or think why isn’t dood hosting the show? Missing integral parts of the story by thinking the story was supposed to go a certain way. Their story is just as great as the albums they produced. It just wasn’t made by Disney.
Well said….
Holy #@$%
This legendary
“But at the end of the day” 🤔🤨😂
It doesn't have to be a debate because both statements are true
Lol 😂 U need Vince Carter on here!
Respect to Clef but he said a whooollllee Lot without answering the questions. U could see the "ok nevermind" on their faces.
The funny thing is, I was so mad about The fugees breaking up, that I blamed Wyclef. I was so mad at Wyclef, that still till this day I never even heard "The Carnival"! I wasn't trying to support it. I am gonna listen to it now though...
Wyclef stop deflecting DAMN!
Did he EVER answer the question ? They asked him a couple times about the break up of the group
summary of Wyclef's brilliant statement is that fans hate growth. Fans want u to be 70 years old and still behave like your 18 year old self.
If you want to see the best concert...go see a Wyclef show
If there were no Fugees there's no Hov classic: Ain't no love in the heart of the city I said, where's the love? Ain't no love in the heart of town And then the Fugees gonna break up Now every day I wake up, somebody got something to say What's all the fucking fussing for? Because I'm grubbing more and I pack heat like I'm the oven door?
Chill
Clef never answer the questions
05:02 The MOMENT i said "Clef DIFFERENT"....Different different tho
That is so true, no lie I think I'm a good rapper but will never make it cuz I ain't put in the work
