#Throwback Episode - w/ Wyclef | (Ep.90)

Hey, Hank sag Gree, Hope you're sovia, this is your boy in what up?

Dj e F and this streak Chance motherfucking Paul.

And right now we've got hands down, one of the best producers, one of the most diverse artists, one of the persons who's been part of the most influential groups in the world, that changed the world, that helped personally, helped change me in my outlooking life. They came from the depths of the hell bottom and they rose to the top. He continued to make hits for people like Carlos Santana, Beyonce, Destiny Child and you know whatever else you want to say.

In pop started.

They had to come to see him. They had to come to see him if they wanted to go to that next level. And right now we got John wat Clip Jean. So you know, this is how I'm gonna do it, because I'm a real fan. I want to take it from the booger basement.

Is that what it's called. Yes, it's called a bug of.

The book Jersey, right, yeah, studio, Yeah, the studio is called a booker. But first, you know, I want to bring you salute from the whole the whole entire Haiti. You know what I mean. You know, we love you, we salute you representative.

Yeah, so uh he ran for president.

We wanted to make sure that that was clear. You know, that was the first thing. So I'd say, man, the Booker basement. You know, I was after Haiti leaving Brooklyn, kim Marlboro Projects, Coney Island. My dad was searching for a better life. He brought us to.

Jersey and and we lived in East Orange.

Yeah.

So so from East Orange, I one O seven South Clinton. From there we moved to Newark. So I was back and forth between Noyork and EASTTNGE. And you know, my dad was a minister. So when the church they had that, it was that whole myth about circular music and so the same thing that the Cats went through. That was in the seventies where if you was playing church music, you couldn't be playing you couldn't go to be playing club music, you know what I'm saying. So basically we

Nell.

I used to eat motherfuckers up for breakfast and lunch dinner.

Barely seventeen years old.

I was obsessed with just because coming from Haiti, I was like, yo, the only way I'm gonna get attention and people to pay attention. It's almost like you gotta spit better than them. So I took the vocabulary to Shakespeare and just became like a wordsmith, you know what I mean. And the Booger Basement, the way it sound, that's what it is, you know. I meant a Kon. A Kon came to the Booger Uh was.

Actually Jersey City? Correct? Yeah, the Royal Black Warrior.

Yeah, so so I'm you know, I'm gonna give it to you like the death Man. A Kon was a barber like akond this. Yeah, you know I'm gonna give it to you. Yeah, one of the jobs, yeah a kon Yeah, yeah, so a Kon one of his jobs man. He was an incredible barber, but he always used to come to the bugger and he come to the book and be like, Yo, look Clett, listen to my music. I got this music. So in my hood I was like Doctor Dre. So I was like that Haitian Doctor Dre.

That was a scenario.

A Kon was on our side, but it was sort of like a Kon was doing his thing. It was just he always was on the grind. So even though when Fuji's was blowing up, he still was like, Yo, you need to check out my music. And then years after it's all good that years years later he blew up. But it's just to show you erkabat do. A lot of people came through that book of basement, you know what I mean? A lot of a lot of talent

So so you being from Hayden coming to you went to Brooklyn first, because I think you went to Brooklyn and then you went to Jersey, right, yeah, we lived in Brooklyn. You let in Brooklyn, went over Brooklyn and you But but Haiti is Caribbean, correct?

How was that that first call when they said, Yo, Shakiro wants to work with you. Did you think about Ian pussy? Did you think about because.

That's the first thing I'm.

Thinking about.

Before you don't have the clar.

I'm sorry, I forgot awkward.

So the funny thing about the Shakira record is that, uh, that record was done.

Two years before Shakira. I did it for a movie.

Called Havana Knights. So Clive told me that he wanted it.

And at the time we said, clip you talk about talking about the regular nigga.

He's got a bigga from.

Down the.

Clid from flat Bush who used to sell.

You know what.

So yeah, so that climb. So Clive hit me up like, yo, I'm doing the soundtrack and I need a joy from you. So for me, the whole, the whole idea of what I do, because you know, Haiti is just Spinola, so it's like basically Haiti and the d R.

Geographically it is really one because we want let's break that.

But for Columbus actually discovered that island, well he didn't discover it.

He came there and the people was already there.

It was actually originally called Espanol and that was Dominican Republican.

And hey, I'm sorry, I got smart.

I'm so sorry.

Let me get back to come. I don't want people to know.

And then the French colonized the side, right, Yeah, is that the way when in the Spaniards stayed on the Dominican side is out of the division.

And somebody a pussy along them every time I secure you dancing, continued I'm sorry, my mom, don't don't repeat these bad words.

Yeah.

So, so, basically, he just wanted me to do the song for the movie. At the time, we had a group called City High. So City High we had to start as Claude artists.

She got pregnant by the other guy, right, which came.

Later, right, which came later. A lot of mistakes, you know what I mean, learn from So so it was you got no, no, you was breaking on. I didn't get him pregnant yet, I didn't get nobody pregnant was bad.

Nobody would be mad at you. We thought it was your baby for a long time, be honest to No. No, Billy Jean myself with forward continued Yeah.

So, so so we do it for the movie and the record sits there, and you know, Clive, I was like, Clive, just record feel special. I think it's bigger, but he was like, no, it's just for the movie. So two years later I get a call from Donniana and Charlie walk and Charlie walks like, Yo, we need a record for Shakira because we're trying to get her on the other side of the fence and is also a big guy.

Let's continuey. She hadn't done it bi lingual record yet at this point.

Yeah, there was, there was. There had a few records on her, but they was trying to cross her the way that I had crossed Santana over.

So we got to get to that because into today's yeah on college wild thoughts.

But yeah, so so then so I told him, I said, look, I got a record. I was sitting here for two years. So anybody if you listen to the original record, it was on the Havana Night soundtrack. It's Claudette singing it word to Bond, It's the same record. The only thing I added was Shakira, Shakira, Shakira and Cara veryble. So I get the call man and and then it's Shakira. It's real talk. And then so she hits me, Shakira called you direct, Yeah, she needs to hear. Yeah, So Shaky calls me.

Right now.

Yeah, So so shaq collar and she's like I was like, Yo, you know you heard the record. She was like, I love the record, and she was like, I had I had a dream about you. Yeah, so exactly. I I didn't know where it was going either.

I was in I was.

Nigga, I was so I get the call and Shackie's So the dream wasn't what I wanted to dream at the time, but it was just the fact that we was connected. And then we we met in Miami and when we got together, I would say, what made that record special was the fusion. She came with that straight Columbian fusion. And sometimes you could write a record it's like a movie. It takes a certain actor to make

So that was the situation with that, and it was an incredible and it.

Felt like y'all kind of did that on the hip hop side with Cypress before that with Cubans me Haitians. That felt, oh yeah, yeah, a big record for you, Yeah yeah, I just feeling that record.

Yeah, big time, big time. But for me, you know, the melting pot for me is like as much as of Haitian, no one can't tell me I ain't Latin. No one can't tell me I ain't African, because you know, if I if I start to play sousa or Caribbean, if you close your eyes and I start to play piano, so you be thinking I'm from Cuba. Because for me, no one could okie dope me. Like at the end of the day, we want people they separate us whatever. But for me, it's like, I know, I got family from Cuba, from.

Jamaica or whatever, you know what I mean.

The percussions were exactly were connected.

By them drums.

So that's that's how it what happened.

Man, So let me ask you something. You did Cara call? Now that you're just a shaky shaky, shaky I'm sorry, cool like that. I still got called. But so you're saying you got the.

Call Santana call prior that that that record came prior. For some reason, I thought you Carra came first here.

Now you know in Santana. Remember I did Santana and I did Whitney Houston.

God you did what?

Yeah?

I did?

I'm doing that road. My love is your love, and your love I forget. Yeah, we never.

You gotta rely. So it's super now.

Now, now here's the reason why Colos Santana for artists like us, right, it's super like special because Carlos doesn't sing.

Oh he does.

This is me. I'm sorry, I'm mad.

I come on, that's me. It's me, it's me.

So so called Santana traditionally doesn't actually sing on the records. He actually tried to compose. So when Carlos called you, what was your very first thought? First off, did you think it was Carlos Santana or you knew because you was that big?

You know the way that it happened. It happened through Clive Davis. So Clive is like, just a.

Clip from flat.

You gonna start clapping. You can't be around here. If I clap your clap, we're.

Gonna step love in the building, stephead. So so Clid from flat Bush calls it. Yeah, so Clod from flat bushit me.

And you know, he gave you the big godfather talk, you know, and the talk is like, yo, why cleft?

I know you study your presence by the way, study jazz. And I've been thinking, what do you think about a fusion with Carlos Santana?

And I was like, yo, I love Carlos Santana.

He's on arist at the time. Yeah, okay.

And then you know, and then Clive then he gonna hit you with that pressure. He's like, okay, you have twenty four hours. So basically, so when I do these records, though, it's like all of my records got schemes in them, man, Like you know what I mean, I break down the fundamentals, you know, saying hip hop is one of my schemes. But growing up in the hood, I used to escape, and I used to scape and watch movies one movie

Watch what happened to Product g n B.

Man, that's a good question.

So the guys that saying on that, oh.

Yeah they finished, yeah, but they.

Don't finish that.

We never knew who they was from again they got that was a big record, No, no, you know what. So so one thing that you said, which is is how the records are put together? Right? So from a composer aspect, right, the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna say who can and sing this?

Right? So I was obsessed with David Ruffins.

So Product g m B from from from from Long Island, Kid Money Harmed had that vocal where it was like yo, he just had because I needed somebody, like you said, Santana a singer. He's an instrumental.

Like Willie Cologne in Puerto Rico. Willi Cologne only plays instruments, correct, Yeah, and.

He always a singer.

But so that's what is So I had to put the whole sky. Yeah, no, that's dope what you said. So to your point, So as a composer, this this is where you know reality has to always How I'm able to do this over and over again, it's because my background is, like I'm a hip hopper, but I'm a jazz major, Like I love jazz, So jazz is based on the composition. So I gotta set the scheme up. So there's a few schemes on that record. The other scheme is I'm a big fan of Wu Tang clan

No?

Okay, So I'm gonna grab my guitar. It's a different type of park. We got niggaso guitars and ship got with guitar.

You gotta.

Da says your day.

Everybody be quiet, everybody quiet, please walk continue.

Yeah, So this is what we're going to producing one on one vibe and we.

Don't got to play this or night right now, you ain't got it.

The music younger, clear it man, I own it, mano right, so check it out. So so when I'm composing, right, So the first part we composed was right, So that was the first zone you feel and they all feel that record. So so then when we said Wu Tang clan ain't nothing to funk with. So one of the things I thought that public would identify with with Santana's an instrument tillis right, this is where the haitian comes out?

If that.

Ain't with.

I'm giving them my hip hop hip hop car for one day.

I know that.

So when we said we said playing by card Little Santana, they did in the record. Yeah, yeah, So my whole vibes be about the mashups. As a hip hop student, you know what I mean, I consider myself a hip hop guitarist first, so so I think a lot of the records like I always pay tribute to. So that fusion came out like that because of you know what I mean, like when when? And then so that scale sounds like Wu Tang, but it's originally a gypsy scale,

Yeah, so l L wait but did that science translate to the to the new calid record?

So so so so cal we go back to that question, the record. We can stay in the record.

You're right, yeah, wild thoughts Rihanna, Yeah, did they clear that record with you?

Yeah, definitely. So so Khalid, who I've known man for we're all good for. We all know. Yeah, so we we you know, I go back with Color. That's like brother the brother together. Yeah, that's how far he was.

Yeah.

Yeah. And then like people don't even know like I used to like clash like dub plates, so I used to this is there's a part of me like in Miami in the early days with Kali. Yeah, so dudes don't even know, like I could show up with a crate and the murder the place. So so for me, So I get the call from from my brother Colored and he's like, yo, just this one seemed like it's this this cleft. You don't understand. This is going to

That worked, because you could do it the record, well, you clear it.

But at the end of the day, So it just it's a beautiful thing to be in twenty and seventeen to hear the new generation sampling either the Fujis or music by Wild Cleff is incredible.

Man.

So he directly sampled your version. Yeah that's the way.

Yeah, that's I just want to but yeah, and then just.

Was that the guitar.

That was the guitar?

Okay, that was play what they said.

Yeah, So basically when you hear this, so so the whole grove is this.

For some reason. But it is a foundation.

So a lot of the foundations, that's how we create them, you know what I mean. But that's how that want happen. So from there, like I said, so Clive Davis knew I had the Latin pulse with me, you know what I mean? And I go back so far. This is why I be crediting like you pud like you don't know, like I go back back with the music as a as a student, I go so far back, right, I go back to Evy queen.

So one of my reporter we on, but.

Some money's walk up. That's one through out there.

We had sting raised, Sting Rays one hundred and thirty second and what fifth Avenue sting Raised. In case you guys don't know, they gotta s rock cola. They got the Delion, which is the best of killing in the world. And you know they got walk left and the drink Champs and in the af everybody here.

That's why you know what I'm saying, don't forget sting raids. Come see us. The owner got a cowboy hat on, we got we got streets.

And guess what and guess what he's We are also leasing a horse very soon, so your kids, we will have a donkey in the front and.

A whole back. Let's do it.

Sting Rays one hundred thirty second up town.

Yeah we we we.

Sam.

I was very to go somewhere else. Need to go.

Remind us when we're coming back. We come back to that. Okay, listen, you gotta relax. This is where I want to go.

Yeah, l L and Cannabis has a problem. Yeah you picked cannabis.

I respected your decision, but I knew you wasn't gonna win all that because this is l L cool chat at the time.

Yeah, and l L.

Had all the back.

End from the whole universal system. This is the first artist that actually developed universals. So I just want to know why was it loyalty because that was your artist. Because I heard somebody say that that was I didn't ever knew cannabis are signior J just your friend.

Okay, So you know I'm a I'm an artist, but before artists, I'm a personality from the Caribbean. So when you know, so, I say, I'm never ashamed of my friends.

You know.

So I grow up as a Caribbean youth. We're very strong where I come from. So when Cannabis approached me, he approached me on a conversation. It was not it was in a music conversation.

So so you know the gist of my problems.

So the gist of my conversation with Cannabis, it wasn't based on It didn't start off musically. It's just it was it was just certain people come to talk to me about when certain things happen sometimes, you know, if someone goested.

This is probably one of the most historical battles in hip hop.

Yeah yeah, so so yeah, definitely one of the most historical battles. So once again, right, so me and you we not communicate right at this point. So you got you looking at it like, yo, the cleft just choose his side, right yeah yeah yeah, because it looked like you know.

What I mean.

So because so now I'm gonna tell you that's right, because I'm gonna tell you the way it goes down. So the conversation with Cannabis was as followed. He comes in the studio, he lays his part. He's a big l L fan and the tattoo on his arm, you know, he's he's like when it comes to ll at that time, like there's nobody bigger than L. Who J Cannabis had the L L walk. He just loved L. So he was like yo when he left the studio, L came in later verse this.

Is L's record, by the way, record, Yeah, the record.

That started it off. Yeah, so so So basically cannabis point of view was like yo, when L was like yo, the tattoo on my arm is limited to challenges, you know. And in Cannabis verse, he was acting, could he borrowed atack? Give me the tack, right, give me give me the mic on your arm. So now now what Cannabis decides to do is now keep in mind I'm a producer, and so L l Is puts his record out and

Look, this is this is you heard of this all this is.

Right now? Okay, this is getting a stout from flats over there, all right, but look how a shot you'll hit the shot?

Why Cliff?

You've been my friend for so long? And I don't know if you understand or you know what drink champs is. But so many shows. They want to get these artists there and they want to ask them who they fucking and who they fucked and all this other ship.

It's not what we do here. We salute our artists because you know what, what was it that you sound like a pig? Don't lose focus, my friend.

What's up with artists is I'm a quote unquote legend. That's what they want to say. I don't give a funk about that ship. But what I am first and foremost is a fan, and I'm a fan of people before me. I'm a fan of people in the middle of me and a fan of people after me. And that's what I want to do. I choose to celebrate hip hop.

I don't. I don't.

I don't care about these other shows, these other podcasts or whatever they do.

That's not what we do.

What we do is we celebrate our motherfuckers. And you need to be celebrated tonight. So today this is and I'm gonna take this. This is the best block in the world. Baby down, take it down. We got tune in on me, man.

It's yo.

Let me tell you something.

Everybody focusing on me, robs loving the building steps, Let's way more.

In the building.

Listen.

Let me tell something red listen, and our culture.

It's kind of corny to big up somebody else if you say you're a legend, or you somebody that's made it as somebody that got money or somebody got status, and you big up somebody else in our culture, that's corny.

And guess what I need to change that. We're corny. We just got forty nine million lists. Do we have to buy fifty million? No? CBS gonna take care of.

No.

But I'm saying, should they take care of that as as as real a good part? Tell us give us a fifty million plaque. But listen, in our culture, people don't big up each other. People don't say great job, hazardous sounds, great job communicating, Sonny Drain, We appreciate your pictures. People don't say that in our culture. And you know what we gotta do, being that we have a platform and we have an audience.

We have to change that. One of our best episodes.

And people that tuned in was when we saluted Prodigy, and we love Prodigy, but we wish we were saluted Prodigy where he was alive.

Absolutely, because we got to give our legends. They flowers when they can smell, and they treat.

You look at and something you look at, and something when they think, and what drinks when they can drink.

Don't understand and this is what we gotta do.

Listen, so many people praise people when you're going away and you die and it's great, but that person could have really appreciated live.

So why left tonight? We want to praise you. Watch, we want to salute you. When I'm taking a shot, I don't know who pulled me to shot shots the Book of Base to the President.

I hate this.

Nigga was two seconds away from me the President. You No, this is like taking a shot of Bill Clinton? Looking about what cleft? Always we're going to continue, want to concrete say what cleft?

What?

Two three.

Two three two three?

Clef?

I mean, honestly, did something to be this time? Did something to be this time?

I don't know what.

We're going back the second round knockouts, knockout those infamous battle records.

The deal, Clef, Mike Tyson on this record, and everybody listen.

Everybody listening.

Everybody listening, everybody, everybody, white girl conversations, come over here, listen, because here's the deal.

We didn't know.

We knew you produced the record, but we didn't know you got dragged into the battle. So how what was the exact moment you got dragged because you produced the record with cannabis?

Is that true?

Yeah?

But the whole record was like sunsu the art of war Son sou So, so when you told me who won, right, So we we're gonna get into who actually won, right, So who won for me would start off with the conversation that I had with Cannabis. And the conversation I had with Cannabis is like, Okay, if you want to really go on this route, there's a few things that I have to let you know that's going to happen,

I'm looking at you, but I was just looking up just so you know.

So what I mean the reality of it is like you know, we we all grow up in a certain environment, you feel me, So it's like okay, like I ain't a shame like my mama took a gun out of my hand, put a guitar on my hand.

Right.

So, but at the end of the day, we all came up like once upon a time in America. Right, So it's like, it's still my family. So whether if it's gangsters, it's still my family. You know, Whether if it's my brother that's a lawyer, it's still my family. So at the end of the day, I felt like, as a Caribbean man, if someone comes to me from the Caribbean that have an issue, I'm going to address it. But I want to know how you want to deal with it. So Cannabis said, I want to deal with

Okay, so this is the this is me you're telling him, dude this.

So so yeah, so so let me tell you And it's good because the beautiful thing about this is the beautiful thing about this is l L is listening, you know what I mean, because Y'll give you know how when things happen, you get a one way perspective until this. So this is the real conversation.

Right.

So basically with l L cool J. You know, coming from Haiti and watching that movie when l L comes out with the radio and he places it down and then he goes into it. I mean he wants this is the reason, you know what I mean. So now we all take this and we say, if we want to be battle rappers, we take this. This is one chapter of how we hit the block when we hit it with that determination. So I said, look, at the end of the day, you want to go there, I'm

So so we have.

Come to myself, why can I.

But but you, my men, you got.

And they like this, nigga, I got the night.

I'm sorry, no, no, I love it baby, so so so, after this conversation, After this conversation, we go into it. And now in order to compete with a giant, right, because l is a giant, the first thing that we have to do is we got to come.

Up with a scheme.

You feel me so and then so the scheme becomes second round knockout. And then so Mike Tyson at the time had Beep in mind.

I don't know what Mike was.

Yeah, so so so so so Mike. Once again, the strategy was war.

Right.

I'm a composer, right, so keep in mind, whether if it's Santana or anything, I'm gonna come from the level of composition. I'm gonna put a Shakespeare movie together. That's what I'm gonna do. So so in putting this movie together, you know we need Mike. You know, Mike has to say he eats people, you know, ears, and you know we need that.

We need that.

So you have it's about to go down on some hood Shakespeare vibe. Now, keep in mind, at the end of the day, it's no beef with nothing it's still it's hip hop, right because when I came from Haiti listening to KRS one, these are this is how you can settle a situation. So Cannabis does the record, and Cannabis was one of the first artists. I literally used to watch sit on a laptop computer just right. Yeah, so see that in the hip factory.

One time I came in, y'all, y'all said, yo, niggas started writing. I say, yo, I gotta leave yo. He just on paper.

It was like, yeah, you know what I mean, like this like this the first right around with word facts before because you know, your phone wasn't that so back then.

Said he said, you know that's.

You know, that's the natural thing to see another MC I need the verse and they like you have a real and he was like, yeah, what is that?

Immediately I'm so sorry, No, no, no, that's at least somebody else seen Cannabis writing rhymes on computer. Yeah, So he was one of the first. So he did that. Now we did the record and Second Round Knockout comes out. Now when Second Round Knockout comes out, the once again, when we talk about hip hop and we talk about the culture. That's why I say, you already know me. I'm a culture bunny, so I'm always inside of the

Poor person that's outside looking at I feel like you just produced the record and then Elle said.

Your name, and then you had the response. Yeah, So now I get dragged into the record.

So l L.

Basically now he goes and he now he has to do his response right because it's Shakespeare at Jouston. And then the process of his response, he calls me the Bob Marley impost right, Yo, this ship gets funnier, right, Yo, I'm gonna tell y'all some real ship.

Right.

So but yo, what the thing is though, It's like the thing is the way that I love l L and was obsessed by him, and he ain't know. When I came from Haiti, one of my skits was holding the radio act like I was talking to Russell Simmons, but I had an invisible mirror in front of me, so so so for me, so I was like, okay, now this is what I mean by its chest. So what I did was I said, now that he called my name, so I have to be careful because I'm on my going to November ship, right, be real careful

You But in all honesty, Cannabis is in trouble. You're not really in trouble because you know your financial is great. But you're a hip hop person.

That's what makes you feel like you're in trouble, not your financial.

But wait, wait, how at what point do you see Cannabis in trouble?

Because it's such a great record.

But I tell you, when I didn't go for him, I'm gonna walk left finish, And I'm telling you when I Cannabis is in trouble.

I mean, I know the lyric side of it.

Come on, we've done the podcast only for a million years right now.

So what happened was we talked about what would happen when you did this record? Right, so I think like a few things had to happen. So when Cannabis did this record, one of the things that had to happen is now his entire album would have had to been changed. That's the first thing, because he was bigger. Because what

I forget?

Well, we said so we said tell yeah, yeah, So now I didn't so I do a record. So when he does this record, so brilliant brilliance is I said, Okay, I know who this guy is and I know who's backing them, and now yeah, and I said, this is L who J this is the King. And now I said, I'm gonna respond with a record. Now I respond with a record. The record is called What's clef? Got to do with it. And now this record is brilliant because what happens is I'm actually LLL. What's CLEF got to

Weekend.

Yes, good girl. So so Naomi does the end of the record, and so she's like, l L. You need to give it up. You need to stop. This is because now when I put a top model at the end of the record, you know you can't say I don't like females. So I'm gonna so I'm coming straight for your base. So for me in doing that, the only reason I even did that bro, because I felt like I didn't when he did that record. I went back home and my girl, right, she like, she's like

The blood clean million pasta? So y'all gotta sit here and eat the chicken it or I said, no, I respond to the.

Yeah, leave it to a woman. A woman always sends the king to war.

The queen always says the gotta respect the queen.

Yes, But in all seriousness, it was like the amount of respect that I have for LLL and continue to have for l L. I would say it was at the pun funeral, you know what I mean, when I saw him and after that I like shook his hand. But for me, it was it was a battle, you know what I mean, And it was all I want him to get out of it even till today. Is like we were so obsessed by him at the time. I just wanted to beat him.

You know, you think when you just produced the record for Cannabis that you can stay out of it.

No.

I knew it once. I mean, it's the art of war, right, you would a gang, You would a gang, So I knew it. Even got worse, Like, forget about the fact that I did the record. I was the freaking referee in the video. So once I said, I, he's all the way in. But that's the kind of dude. I was like, look, we're gonna go in. He's gonna come at me, He's gonna come at you, but you have to be ready. And I would say, really, the first Fuji album was Blunting on Reality and that shit sold

So so do you think, so what what what intent does it make a person to say that that that's person is the star?

Is it all those qualities that you just said, yeah, to make a person a star? Like, well, okay, so I remember called that. Yeah, I remember that.

No no, no, no no, but you know.

You know.

No, no, no, you mean good.

I would have got it.

So emparamilitary, emparamilitary.

Right.

So is in general what we do is when we want to get information from the certain people, right, what we do is we make them drink to the point where they their consciousness and they start to tell you, I'm watching you man, I.

Got you.

Come on, we go way back definitely. So for me, what makes it a star is the it factor. So I remember Sony was like, Yo, cleft, there's these four girls. You have to go listen to them sing. We need you to do a record for them. And I go into a hotel and it's four girls and I remember like, Yo, It's like, yo, what would you like us? To sing

You guys, you know what I mean.

So and then you know what the if factor is. It goes deeper, right, the if factor goes deeper because you know who's going to be the it because they're studying.

Right.

So if Beyonce is listening to this right now, right, this is what's the deepest part is this is probably listening. I just got you a three three female Campbell, right, So this is this is the if factor which determines it. To me, I remember us performing like I'm performing on stage, and I remember Beyonce on the side of the stage watching Destiny Child already performed, believing she's.

There as you were studying.

Are you with I'm performing as why cleft the Carnival right, I'm performing, yeah, the first one, Carnival three soon.

Three as they said that, so Carnival. I had to piss for like two hours. I've been holding because I respect our class so much.

You know, if you got pissed. We'll just take a pissed bread. No, it's okay, just peri, but.

That's drink history. Don't stop. We're gonna go Carnival stop stop good you look at you look like you've been teared up.

I don't know what you've been.

Your beach, but I'm saying a good way. You gotta know, I don't like.

That's my sister.

You really like that? You ready open this?

Yes, many class man, you're talking about the album, the new album, the album, the new album three?

Yes, man, you know listen everybody.

Yeah, Carnival three. Yeah, you got, you got, you got, you got Shakiro on it.

Yeah, this is what makes this no no, no, I was saying, yeah, this is what makes this album dope.

Right.

So for me, it's twenty years later and we're celebrating the Carnival and the first Carnival is all people. It was like, yo, you can't do a record. You can't do a hip hop album in four languages and get it to sell. It don't exist. So I was like, no, I said, I'm from Haiti, Espanola. We speak Spanish, we speak French, crayle, we gonna get it. And so the Carnival. Yeah, so the Carnival broke records like it did like seven

The record? The record we're gonna play it though.

So it's a young man by the name of Young Thug and he decides, come on, he's got you got your niggas, not got a riddle y'all niggas.

In front of the projects man.

No, no, that was his scheme.

That was a kid.

But so but who produced that record with Super Mario? And I was like, Yo, this dad boy know this little kid was just coming up. He's worked with Drake. But you know, I was like, this kid sound his frequency? Sound like why c at twenty years old? Who's this kid?

Like? How is he doing?

These drums in this. So the whole thing about Carnival three is I went and I got all of the kids that were influenced by the Carnival. When the Carnival came out, there was twelve thirteen. So you got Super Mario, you got the Knocks, you got Wavy Boy. So what happens is now the fusion on Carnival three is the nephews meet the uncle. So it sounds like Teddy Riley meets Michael Jackson or Michael Jackson meets Quincy Jones. What

Listen, I know, listen, listen, But tell these niggas tell these niggas that the psycle picture you took, you have the speedo, you.

Gotta you gotta know that the way you was well defined oil. Yeah, I can tell that was that was a house lady. Come on, you was riches and using a five million dollar house?

Is that?

Am I correct? Eight man?

Like, yo, I mean you know it is what it is, right, But I mean the Ducatti pick man you yeah, yo, real talking. I seen my Twitter get divided, right. All the niggas ran off one damn you know what I mean?

It was crazy. I did.

Yeahs went crazy man, you like just one minute, yo, but you know I did it, bro, just to get back to the fact that I'm human and like I'm human, my nigga, Like, I felt like so many people was coming at me at this time as if I wasn't human, Like it was like, yo, dude, try to run for president his charity.

It was sort of like dudes was coming at me as if I didn't have a fan family, as if I'm not from the culture. And I was like, dude, I'm a rare, I'm that dude that used to be on the block making niggas laugh. So it was like at the end of the day, I stripped it all down, and I knew with my antics that everybody would talk and get back to the fact like this is a regular nigga at the end of the day, you know what I mean. So shout out to the speed stripped down the conversation, Like I.

Feel like if it wasn't for you wanting for president, I think like you kind of gave Trump the idea. Come on, man, don't put that on this. You almost became.

I'm not putting it on you. I'm sorry, but it's not like that Clapper was the first president.

I'm gonna tell you what's I'm gonna tell you what from sweet Nigga is brother?

Okay, I mean, okay, So here's a few facts to your point. That's not my point. No, I'm gonna show you you got you hitting on I'm I'm gonna show you like you're hitting on some science. So it's important that the listeners fully get your science because you hitting on some science that I'm gonna get into because I.

Feel like Trump seen you and said this nigga almost made Trump. I'm almost made president, and he said, let me try won I think it's your fault.

Now, we wouldn't put it on me.

But now.

Because you're you're your he was this close.

I was.

Like, were eligible?

Yeah, well the first part of it. Let's let's if you are if if we go online, right, you'll find a picture of me, Donald Trump, Sweet Mickey together together.

That sounds like a controversy.

Just listen to this. Listen to this.

The old.

Ain't even president yet even president yo, it's just three celebrities. The biggest artist I'm taking you yeah three So Mickey. So basically sweet Mickey is like for me like he's our Michael Jackson if that makes sense, Like he like we all grew up.

With his music.

Sweet Mickey was the president, correct, Yeah, but listen to how he became the president. So when we took Michael Michael Jackson become the president. Yeah, so this is like in Haiti. Yeah, but think about this. When I took the picture, this picture like becomeing president. Yeah exactly. So when I took this picture with Trump, me and Mickey.

Hold on, yeah, go ahead, fan nineties hippob junkie, what you're doing?

Come on, yo?

We had one hundred and thirty seconds between what.

Thirty second and fifth come through?

We interview and walk left and you gotta relax. That's it.

Let it look it real quick, real quick rock perform time at twenty years at the column.

We got that want to relax. We had tickets.

We had tickets two years ago, tickets second, I'm sorry you got no.

No, it's good. So what we do is what we call a random real quick. So Eric being rock Kim. So I'm gonna call it random real quick. So Eric being rock Kim my first music video ever. I was an extra for a rock camp video and I got more shots than any other extra history. What's don't swim at the technique? I'm playing up right then, I'm your bunny man. I told y'all man, yeah, son, do you know? He said hip hop junkie.

I you know.

But we gotta go back to Donald Trump.

Yeah, it's a deep picture. He said that because family was saying, like when he probably saw that. So now look this is like Donald Trump ain't the president. Everybody's chilling. Donald Trump book us for a show. We show up. We at the Caesar. I called my man sweet Mickey, and I'm like, yo, Mickey, were out here with Trump, come on over. But let's be clearsed.

Micky is the president, and the president he's just chilling.

He's like my friend, you know what I mean? So yo, were down here, come so now and years later, right, because all I could do is tell y'all because back then, yeah, but all I could do say, all I could do is tell y'all. Right, all I could go is by facts checks.

Right, I'm gonna give y'all the facts.

Man. The fact is at the end of the day, coming from where I came from, if somebody gave me a check to perform, right, and it actually wrote the check right at the time, at the time, and the check clai at the time, I was like, this person's by the business now then, But dude, when you sit on a presidential chair, that's a whole another scheme now because you representing the world and you're representing like you can't be for one side of this, it don't exist.

Right.

So I only tell y'all that because at the end of the day, I wanted to show out in America or all of the kids that was here, how dudes was getting down in Haiti, and how hip hop music influenced Haiti. Right, so you have. So at the end of the day, y'all saw me run for president. But what they didn't show, y'all is when they had beef with the gangs. I had to go negotiate for the gangs visa rappers. I'm talking about the gangs. I'm talking

This is me.

But y'all don't see none of this yet. Then I fly back to my country. This is clef Then I fly back to Washington.

Right.

Anybody who's watching this, it ain't hard. You could google this. I'm in front of Congress and I'm talking about Look, y'all need to yet a bill passed. It's called a textile bill. This bill help brought back textile and manufactured of my country. While I'm doing all of this, y'all don't see any of this. This ain't promoted. The only thing y'all saw was y Cleve Jean, Yola Haiti scandal. Y Cleve jen run for president?

Right.

The only thing is this. I'm a garvyiit just the part of me that people don't know. I'm a Marcus garvyit and what that means is at the end of the day, yeah, niggas see me run. But who told me to run? What made me think I could run? No one know. I sat with Nelson, Mandela, Me and Mandela. We had the conversation eye to eye like we have in this conversation. I had a few questions for Mandela. It was only three people in the room, Me, Mandela, and my cousin Jerry Wonder, So for me, this was

Who's speaking to you?

At the end of the day, Bill Clinton, who's listening to the show right now? I'm getting off of Air Force one. I'm getting off of Air Force one with Bill Clinton as a youngster. So I'm not no ordinary dude at the end of the day. Though they had to block me. The reason why they blocked me is because they didn't see me as a capitalist, even though I am a capitalist. They saw me as a populist, somebody that's going to be for the people.

You know what I'm saying to you.

So that's the bottom line, and that's how I went down. But look, at the end of the day, I could have raised my pinky and the country with a turned red. I didn't do that because I didn't want the youth to fight over me. Because at the end of the day was bigger than me. It was about Haiti. So we helped get Sweet Mickey elected. So my party, my party back was my party, Dicky Mickey Sweet it was.

Yeah, it was, it was, it was, it was.

It was Sweet Mickey aka Michelle Michelle Martin Lee. So at the end of the day, that crew raised me to a point. So I backed him up and at the end of the day we all got together. He became the president. After him, it's another president that's young. All I wanted to do my job is accomplish what I wanted to do. Before I ran, we had an old regime.

Dog.

Everything was over sixty five, seventy years old. There was controlling a country. There was controlling for country for over seventy eighty years. I broke the cycle and that was the mission that I wanted to do.

So Cleft, I know, I know because I know you so many years, and I know you for being rich for every year.

And then these people they say, oh, well, wow, Cleft took from there, and I said, not, Cleft ain't taken from ship. This is me defending you from the outside looking in because I know you, I know your personal lifestyle and.

How many years I said, what what you told me?

That this is whatever?

They said that they they said that you stole from the campaign? How what was I like, Sonny keep.

It said, got it wrong, and it's going on with this white.

Cleft and I said it on the podcast. But I just want, I just want you to shut all the haters down.

Please.

Well, I think I think, first of all, it's an insult to say I stole sixteen First of all, it's an insult. First of all, it's an insult to say that's what that I would steal sixteen million, right, at least say I would steal one billion. This is a complete insult because sixty million, it were equal to the artwork and a few cars.

In the That's the truth to That's the truth, right about it.

I gotta tell him right. Sometimes you tell him right. You feel me sometimes for some of the Yeah, but yo, at the end of the day, though, think about this, though, anyone who's really paying attention, like what part of their history you want to know? I mean, j Edgar Hoover set up the FBI for Look, Marcus Garvey was infiltrated. They came in and said everything They said I did. They said Marcus Garvey did. At the time, Marcus Garvey people wasn't that strong. Marcus Garvey got deported and Obama

We was moving like an organization.

This was a threat to everybody, including the Red Cross, including everyone else. And what's funny is I've worked with the Red Cross, I've worked with different people. But why is it if you google the Red Cross right now and say how many houses y'all put in Haiti? Y'all going to see five houses? They raised billions? What happened with the Clinton Foundation got me anything? But think about this, But think about that. But once again, why Clef Young

I still want to know.

Do you think that Plinn Foundation did their job in then?

No?

I think that to your point that I did the tour of the houses, the model houses, and none of that was building. Once again, I think that a lot of the money that went to Haiti through the relief fund is a disaster. It's the same thing that disaster, the same thing that happened and control.

I'm so sorry, sorry to cut you off, but can you just explain to the people because me personally, I know that you don't need me personally.

When they said I cant to anything, I know you personally. I know how you ball. I know how you don't need this money. I know that, But how do you like address these people who think.

That, Well, the first thing is anyone who thinks that you have to go facts right, So the only thing is look if you if I bring you to the well and you a donkey, that mean you're gonna drink the water. But if you're a giraffe, I can't get

Right?

Because at the end of the day, when you look at it, it's all a distraction for what And I'm going to state it again on your show. First of all, the idea of why Cleff winning a Grammy and putting his Haitian flag around his back and establishing Haitian pride, it is cool?

Were with you?

After that? The idea of why Cleft trying to become president and set up a governmental organization where you're not going to sing it. It starts to change, right, And in this process you have to do what's called covert and dude, any everyone that's paying attention, this ain't conspiracy theory, This ain't the Luminati. The bottom line to it is in this room right here, as you do what you do, if they feel like it's an infiltration, they will plant

I'm so sorry.

But now Cleft takes this job genre and he wins the presidency will be wa Cleff's first thing to do as president as president of Hey.

Well, the first thing that we would have to do as president of Haiti. You have a population that's living on less than eighty percent, right, is living on less than a dollar a day. So then you would have to establish what's the wealth right of the country. So then there's two parts of it. What's the richness? Human

I saw that that's the only thing I saw.

Money go to police.

What do you think happened to Haiti after what was it the earthquake that happened right here?

So sostating earth questions? They were stating there there.

So what do you think was the problem? Message with you would have took.

If you was the president, the problem is this. It's eighteen oh four, right, eighteen oh four, the Haitians get their independence, the first Black republication. I gotta take you there. I gotta take you there to understand the root of the problem. Eighteen oh four.

Peep this guard.

Eighteen oh four. I gotta go on my five percent them over, please me, okay, watch this eighteen oh four. God, in eighteen oh four, we basically was free. We defeated the Napoleon army. What that means the most army at the time, the best army at the time. The Haitians defeated them. They were outgunned. How was they able to do that? Right now, what happens is after they has defeated the Napoleons, the French now put a tax on Haiti. This tax still till today is hurting Haiti.

And that's why Haiti people speaking.

The reason why Haitians speak French is because Haiti was occupied it it was by the French, but because they never agreed to be colonized, because they agreed to be free. Some people say Haiti God its independence too early. Some people say that because at the end of the day. So now when you say damn, well, how do we get Haiti back. The way that we get Haiti back is to bring Haiti into the modern world. And the way we bring Haiti into the modern world is through technology.

You know what I mean.

Yo, Haiti is beautiful, man, I'm telling you when I went, it's beautiful.

And then in order and we get our only got to be economically and that's the that's the problem over there.

It's one of the best. Like I went there as a non Haitian and it was beautiful people, beautiful landscape. And then they were telling us like we went into the mountains, that's where all the rich people live and it's the only place where the beachfront is the poorest.

But let me ask you something though, in California, isn't there a rich place of course, right? And then they but the.

Beach side it's still high property value.

That's right, it's high property value. And then when we go into Compton, certain places we see the difference, right, and then those boys in Compton can't really come to the beachfront property value, right. So in Haiti it's the same way. So you have places called by that's right. So then what is that telling us? It's not really a hated thing. This is a this is a world thing. Weather. We love Brazil, whether we go to Brazil to the fulvelas,

Walk up political.

Yeah, we need to get.

You know, you gotta get.

I got y'all, man, it took me dark and you want broke off.

Fine, I'm so sorry to ask question. Laura Hill, Baby not your baby. That's what they told me about.

I'm so sorry. That's not sorry. You can do it. Yeah, a fake media right.

Now so your media my friends.
