  • fuck niggers they would be better hanging on trees

    

  • I love his voice and his lyrics are pretty powerful.

  • eminem, jay z, drake, kanye west, and lil wayne can all suck my dick. thats rediculous that there are people in this world that are under the impression that they are the best rappers

  • Drake sucks period. Man like who has to get auto tune to sing on your own track? If you can't sing good enough with your own power then why not pay someone to sing for you, I thought he was a baller or something. F*ck Drake!

  • Tupac,Biggie,Dre,Eazy E,Snoop,Ja Rule der is th list of best rappers ever

  • @SuperNYC91 get the fuk outa here.......eazy e was an amazing rapper but he didnt even write his own shit.......what about Big daddy kane?, Ol dirty bastard? dmx? nas? and a million other people.....and ja rule was never that great of a rapper.......he was good while he lasted...leave it at that....thats one of the most ludacris assumptions i've ever heard.....where are all the lyrically talented rappers.........talib kweli, mos def, krs-1, eminem, old busta rhymes

  • Eminem

    Jayz

    Drake

    The game

    Kanye west thats the best rapers in my view but I like the fact that u didnt pick that fagget lil wayne

  • love dis song

  • the sad thing is he said the radio woulnt play this and he fucken ment never once have i herd this on the radio comercail or satilet

  • this song is the shit!

  • If You Want This Song PM Me Wit Ur E-Mail And Tell Me Dat U Want The Song

  • @shockid1125 cant you type normal english? wit? dat? come on...

  • This song was COMPLETELY ripped off of Downface - Alone.

    -50 respect points, Wyclef.

  • @GOLD3NxHAWKx21 The lyrics aren't alike, so it wasn't COMPLETELY ripped off... Besides, this song in my opinion turned out to be a better song

  • @GOLD3NxHAWKx21 hmm no.

  • the closest thing we will ever get to bob marley

  • @MrTitzmagee guess you never heard of Ziggy Marley...youtube search Lauryn Hill and Ziggy doing Redemption Song live and close your eyes...it's like he channeled his pops from beyond the grave. That's a stretch comparing Wyclef to Bob and I got mad respect for Wyclef. That's like comparing Rihanna to Aretha Franklin(actually, that's even worse but you get my point ;D). Jah bless...

  • @jlovell40831 you are MORE RIGHT THAN YOU KNOW concerning Ziggy's ability to basically become his father in his recordings. its beyond impressive. as a side note, whenever im commenting on Reggae music, i have to throw a shout out to who i believe is the greatest artist since Bob Marley, the pristine-voiced Luciano, my favorite tracks being "Carry Jah Load", "Watch What You're Doing", "Hold Strong", and 2 of the greatest songs of all time IN ANY GENRE, "Nah Give Up" and "Talkin' Bout". One Love!

  • @jlovell40831 lol i got you bro, youre right though

  • @MrTitzmagee what about barrington levy? he's good too.

  • @MrTitzmagee watch the music video to Perfect Gentleman.. bob marley my ass lol

  • @MrTitzmagee Wow.... True True. =D

  • Thumbs up if you're high and just had a eargasm

  • Great song

  • his voice is like nothing else, this version is the most unique voice and tone i've ever heard

    thanks for posting

  • this is remix and the real versions good but i love this fucken song

  • i thought wyclef jean was jamaican till i watched dave chappelles block party

    

  • hell yeah

  • The best musical performance ever on Chappelle's Show. It's not far off, his rival was almost assassinated. It's a great acoustic song too.

  • This is such a beautiful song, so much truth. Makes your stop and realize whats going on-moves you. THIS IS MUSIC

  • Even if we eliminate race as an issue and a reason for discrimination, we would fund some other reason to discriminate. It's only human nature

  • beautiful song couldent stop listing to it

  • ive got the video on chappele show live want me to upload it?

  • I honestly think that cahppelle show was the funnist show ever.. I still watch it and I laugh allot

  • There are people who want peace and people who don't. These people want to stay in command and dictate peace. That is why we fight. We fight to defend our born right to freedom and peace. Yes there is always something extra like fighting for resources but that's because the leaders we have elected are greedy bastards.

  • Dave chapelle always had some of da realest musician on his show. I miss dat show it made me laught evertime I saw it. (plus it reminds me of wen wyclef got choke in da studio lol)

  • @Fire67895 I'm just being realistic, we can never achieve total peace because regardless of the time or conditions, if people are involved, there will always be a self-serving individual that is looking suit their own wants. War is imminent, it is the entity that is always present and hanging over us waiting to rear it head again.

  • @MidgetCo I used to think just like you...and i also agree that the will always be that one individual, but we have to find a better way to deal with it. people keep saying that the end of the world is gonna be a natrual disaster, but its acctuly just when we all kill each other and the human population decresses dramaticly...but from that peace can bloom

  • @Fire67895 u no wat ur takin bout but i think maybe if we teach or children about peace and how to see beyond race creed and not to be greedy and share wat u have so everyone can be equal we will have peace withoutwar

  • @izzy4441 war is not human nature, but greed is. all living creatures have primal instincts, those are the instincts that come through for survival. when food is not readily available we do what is needed to obtain it, this means that there cannot be peace unless there is no poverty, and there cannot be poverty without money, but if money was taken out of play then the world would collapse to our primal instincts the ones that drive us to find food and shelter at any cost. communism doesn't work

  • @kushbudz1000 im not sayin get rid of money but just to try and get rid of race and other bondaries wed have a mutch nicer world

  • @izzy4441 I feel you, either way, its an idealistic idea of a utopian society that is only conceivable in your imagination because of human nature and because of the scale of people's minds you'd have to change to think like ours. Also if this were to magically happen then the person who brought us to this new world would be put into power because followers need leaders and if the first leader is good, what are the odds of the second, third and so on.

  • @revolution2pointO don't compare us to ants and act as if they willing choose to work to help their brothers. they are mindless drones assigned simple tasks to serve the purpose of insuring the survival of their queen and have no free-will. we are the only animal that uses money because we are the only animal capable of abstract concepts like currency. We wage wars because we are naturally a self-destructive species. WAR IS A PART OF HUMAN NATURE and it will always be a part of us as humans.

  • @MidgetCo its thinking like that that compleatly ends the concept of peace, if you just compleatly shut out the idea of peace by saying " WAR IS A PART OF HUMAN NATURE" then that is what people will belive. people arent just natrualy vilent, vilence is something that is learned, and is normally assosiated with where you grow up. what revolution2pointO was saying is that they all work together to survive. humans are the only spieces that hold wars over stupid shit, peace...is a long way off

  • We could end so many problems if we would stop fighting over money, the governman wants us to fight over money, how can we unite if we are too worried about getting that next paycheck or taking it from your brother? We could work for free just by doing what we love. Thats the only way we can advance as a spieces. Ants dont get paid, no animal but us does things for money, they do it for the advancement of their civilization. I know it sounds crazy but it was like that once we are just smarternow

  • @Revolution2pointO governman?

  • @pooponarail25 pooponarail25? 

  • @Revolution2pointO thats right. its kind off my catch phrase

  • If I was president.........I would put the Chappelle show back on the air

  • @poppypotpoppers he quit the show so theres no point. and they play re runs every now and then. we could have the wayne brady show:) hahahaha

  • @bfebob lol well i could use force to get chappelle to do the show again. Or at least have him record some skits so we could have The Wayne Brady Show :D

  • @poppypotpoppers The show didn't get taken off the air, Dave stopped doing it by choice because of all of the ignorant people in this world that found his work to be offensive. Dave was trying to teach us with his comedy. Most of us listened, the rest just shunned him to the point of leaving his own country. Sorry I didn't mean to go on a rant, I just thought you should know that the Chappelle show was stopped because Dave wanted it to stop.

  • @Sylasism yeah believe that if you want.... cocaine is what really happened

  • If I was persident.....I would put the Chappelle show back on the air

  • amazing i love wyclef

  • This is Donald Trump's theme.

  • @setamhmh I, being a haitian, know that people in haiti sing like thatr when they are sad while they sing. so stop passing judgement and use better word choice dude.

  • @dselony You can tell by his spelling he isnt smart

  • @setamhmh i don't think someone being high talk about stuff that need to be address. Just listen closely to the words.
