As far as I'm aware, this is the only hip-hop album my dad had in the house growing up. He never played it.

It's pretty dope.

Classic album, and some of the first hip-hop (and music, period) I fell in love with

It's a shame Wyclef fizzled out as I really dig his creativity here and on The Carnival.

Lauren's performance is fantastic.

The second Wyclef album features some of the weirdest, most misbegotten genre-splicing attempts (the Kenny Rogers/Pharoahe Monch mashup; the earnest 'Wish You Were Here' cover) and some of the most shameless pop crossover pleas (the one where The Rock does the hook; the pop reggae, guitar-driven song about weed that shouts out some of the performers from Woodstock '99 - "DMX, Limp Bizkit, Sheryl Crow" - at the beginning for seemingly no other reason than to parade his own self-inflated sense of eclecticism/"eclefticism" *sigh*) and desperate 'check out my Rolodex' flexes (getting Whitney fucking Houston to gently coo reggae clichés for an interlude) I've ever heard. (And this to make no mention of the Youssou N'Dour-featuring Amadou Diallo tribute, because in spite of my cynicism, it's actually a pretty heartfelt and touching effort.)

However, it also contains, in '911' (which succeeds regardless of the overwrought silliness and vocal histrionics) and particularly the giddy, effervescent 'Perfect Gentleman', two of the greatest pieces of R'n'B or hip-hop of its, or any other, era. Go figure.

this is an amazing album.
I played it loads back in the day and still spin it now and again
Killing Me Softly was THE song of the summer of 1996. It was everywhere.
Lauren's vocals are just sublime
