Wyclef Jean And Guests - All Star Jam (DVD)

WYCLEF JEAN WHY NOT

Advantages: A masterly diverse journey through musical styles
Disadvantages: None

together, titled ?WHERE FUGEES AT?. Next up is the dubious, yet supremely successful teaming up with Kenny Rogers ?KENNY ROGERS - PHAROAHE MONCH DUB PLATE? which features the country star combining his hit ?The Gambler? with Wyclef?s rapping. One of my favourite tracks. The Rock joins with the fifth track ?IT DOESN'T MATTER?, an unusual mix of hard rap and humour which samples the Bad Manners 80s hit ?This Is Ska.? I personally think that this is the worst offering of the nineteen.
