No matter what I'm goin' through, I could still exist.
Wyclef Jean
My father being a Caribbean minister, one day I stole the radio. The radio that I stole, I took it to school, showing off how big this boom box was and how bad I was at the time. Once my father figured out where I left the radio, he then got his belt and he walked me, he beat me all the way to where I had hid the radio, and with the boom box.

What a lot of people don't know is that Wyclef started off as a battle rapper, when he decided that he would rhyme.
Wyclef Jean
When I rap, I get to express myself in a way where putting words together is like poetry, and sometimes it's better to talk in certain expressions than sing, you know? So I love, I love to rhyme when I want to express certain things.
Wyclef Jean
It's important, when you see darkness, to understand that there's light ahead of that, and I'm the living testimony of that, you dig?
Wyclef Jean
When you enter the realm of politics, you don't enter it because you want to be popular. When I want to be popular, I pull on a guitar and sing a song.
Wyclef Jean
My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.
Wyclef Jean
The reason why we're warriors is that we rise to the occasion anyone that's felt like the system put them down, and then they rose to the occasion, they're a warrior. It's not about whether you come from the hood or you come from the suburbs, you know what I mean? It's about reality and life.
Wyclef Jean
Me and my father went through a war period where we wasn't talking. He wanted me to go to theology school - I didn't want to go. I wanted to do music. I told him I was a minister through music.

For me, before I go on stage, it all depends. Might be a girl, might be an edible, might be a verse, might be somebody mixing something in my drink without me knowing - hopefully that won't happen tonight.
