this comment made my day 😂😂

[@thagodwecreate5179]

What tha real conundrum is, is that to define "yea" and contrast it with tha definition of "no" and then find tha essence of not only tha meaning of these verbal retorts but tha intention behind tha words that tha artist uses, takes a deep look at not only prior knowledge of such abstractions but further analysis of one's own characterizations, and beyond that, what tha motivation was for such proclamations. Now onto my multiple faceted diagnostic approach to tha word "maybe"....

[@ThomasWallen]

wyclef made everyone sound so philosophical

[@MeMe-ec6mm]

[@blackcomely2537]

[@BRANnun]

[@shanejohn-lewis3715]

Right 💀

[@mikaeels.6477]

Lol, hella philosophical

[@1DjJmoney]

This is one of the best video videos from this series. He fully breaks down each bar no matter how simple it’d may have read, while respecting everyone’s lyrics he read no matter how abstract or simple they were written. This is the type of veteran rapper that needed, one that can understand appreciated all forms hiphop can take and live in the now. S/o Wyclef is a true artist

[@polojn]

I like this and Redman video. They both explain how each bar can lyrically make sense

[@m111990]

This reaction was completely useless. There’s no point in rating if people are not going to be honest. Just a complete waste of time, a true artist is going to speak his mind not sit there and fake it in order to not hurt feelings.

[@stanhenderson9928]

Well I think its basically hes older, and pretty dont fucc with hip hop like he used so he dgaf, but hes also just tryna do nothing, but spread love, at the same time, you can tell by he facial expressions he like wtf, but still tryna edify his younger brothers, bcuz lord knows they need some kinda guidance

[@InfernoTM100]

The way he rates this shit makes everything epic in its own way

[@youngkr3w200]

Lil Pump: “Poppin on X, Poppin on X, Poppin X, Pills.” Wyclef: This is legendary, and I say that because he was descriptive post-hook. See, in hip hop this is called a double bar. He described X as pills and at the same time the letter X is the 3rd from last letter in the alphabet. HE SAID X 3 TIMES. So I gotta give that a 5.

He’s so good with his hip hop and rhyme scheme understanding. Such a wealth of knowledge

[@rpgtimefire]

A double entendre is a line with 2 meanings not a word used twice

[@ASAPAutumn]

rpgtimefire and he clearly was referring to the same word used twice with different meanings

[@rpgtimefire]

@@ASAPAutumn still not a double.

[@ASAPAutumn]

rpgtimefire you don’t know what you’re talking about

[@rpgtimefire]

@@ASAPAutumn its not a double cause she used it twice. The word has 2 meanings but if you dont structure the bar right it won't be a double. Feel free to correct me if im such an idiot. But here's an example for you "Cole under pressure what that make? Diamonds" its ok if you dont understand its hard for alot of people to grasp.

[@ASAPAutumn]

rpgtimefire I’m not saying you’re an idiot. I don’t disagree that how you structure the bar determines the quality and how impactful it is but it doesn’t necessarily have to be done in that way. There are different calibers of MCs and what you used is an example of a higher quality bar than simply repeating the word

[@SuperTman103]

Finally!! Someone is adding sub-genres into the conversation of hip hop. This is so much more than rhyming.... We categorize music by feeling (rock, hip hop, metal, jazz etc) yet within one genre can be so many emotions... hell within one album nowadays you can be cheering and raving... music is evolving and it’s good thing :)

[@alvin9713]

Most old rappers would bash such lyrics as ignorant. I really respect Wyclef for appreciating all forms of Hip Hop

[@CuddyTG]

I like that he rated each bar for what they are

[@GMM1879]

I like how he credits the fact that there isn't nothing new under the sun, lyrics and style just get interpreted in a different but there are the original, or originators at the end, meaning something things once in a while are new under the sun. Blame the system but not the environment.
