Masquerade
Description
Wyclef Jean's third solo offering finds him still trying his darndest to prove to hip-hoppers and pop audiences alike just how eclectic he can be. And no one knows exactly why. After all, eclecticism does not necessarily translate to quality; Jean's disturbingly mediocre collaboration with Tom Jones on an updated version of "What's New, Pussycat?" is a prime example of how an intriguing idea can go awry. Likewise, his reinterpretations of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" and the Four Seasons hit "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" demonstrate just how spiritless this truly gifted emcee/producer can sound. Sure, Masquerade boasts Wyclef's broad coverage of black music, flipping styles from reggae to R&B in a heartbeat. The R&B flavored "Two Wrongs," featuring Claudette Ortiz of City High, and the touching ode to his recently deceased father, "Daddy," sound grand. But in the end, Jean's attempt to masquerade as a hardcore rap artist on the "PJs"--a tired ode to low-income housing dwellers--reveals that he's been on cruise control since The Score. And it's a real shame. --Dalton Higgins

4 of 5 stars  Good, good
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
THis album? Pretty good. Half of the songs i really liked, the other half they were so-so. I still like Wyclef's Style though, and he's still a great rapper. Thumbs up.

5 of 5 stars  Wyclef

Wyclef mixes unique voice with hip-hop and the Carribean, and the result is a tight album. I don't know what yall were thinkin if you gave him less than 3 stars. The last songs just make you want to get up and start shakin it. The one thing I find wrong with this album is that he keeps pretending the CD is a radio station. But, still 5 stars. Also, Wyclef has tha tightest cadillacs.

5 of 5 stars  One of the most realest rappers alive!

I've been trynna search for a new artist with the style of old rap style, but none of them have it! The only really new artist with old rap style is Angie Martinez who's actually been rapping since 1996/1997. This album I respect for it hardly lacks anything of old rap style. I think Wyclef is one of the best rappers ever! Him and the rest of the Fugees, will always be one of the best in the Rap Industry besides all the other old styled rappers like 'Pac and B.I.G and Lil' Kim etc. This album has a title which I dedicate to all the new rappers who think they it. Their music is all a "MASQUERADE" it's a lie. Wyclef has really done it for himself this time! The rap songs (Peace God, PJ's, 80 Bars, Masquerade) are all hot songs with phat verses thrown by Wyclef and featured artists on the records. I was busy reading another review of this album and I found something true, Wyclef brought one of the best R&B Ballad songs we've heard in a decade, that song being "Two Wrongs" with Claudette Ortiz. A piece of work which I fancy has gotta be "You Say Keep It Gangsta" cuz it's hot and this is what artists like Nelly and 50 Cent are saying, but when beef come, they run! A song which really hit me was "Daddy" it's a Gangsta-Rap-Ballad which should touch people who've had this situation (like my best friend) and also peeps who know what feelings are. To end off with, get this album and bump all them [other] rappers off the rap rack ...! WYCLEF is da BOMB and so is MASQUERADE, GOD BLESS HIM!

5 of 5 stars  Wyclef is all about peace and love
Monday, November 11, 2002
I don't care what people say, but this album is great. I mean the man can do it all. From the lyrics to the sound of his guitar. At least I can see someone who is not just after my money, but also want to send a message out there. I mean Clef keep up the good work. The man does everything humanly possible to make this album. And he should receive the love he deserves. That's what I call music.

4 of 5 stars  Good but too many skits, a great buy though
Saturday, September 28, 2002
This is a great album, my favorites(in order best to worst): Peace God, Two Wrongs, PJ's, Masquerade. The song peace god makes up for all the lousy skits, in one all they say is "Hot 93.1" and their is about 3-6 skits. This is a great album if you dont like "pop-rap" or real hardcore hiphop. Wyclef Jean has rap, R&B, and reggae/ska in this album
