The Ecleftic: 2 Sides to a Book (Columbia, 2000) by Wyclef Jean

After twelve years, this album certainly doesn't hold up as well as Clef's debut.  However, it still has its moments.  The two tracks that are most memorable to me are "911" with Mary J. Blige and "Diallo."  "Wish You Were Here" is also a clever ode to Pink Floyd.  Unfortunately, those few shining spots are unable to save the rest of the album.

The Carnival (Columbia, 1997) by Wyclef Jean

Wyclef Jean is super-talented.  It is unfortunate that his work on Canibus' debut soiled his reputation as badly as it did.  The Carnival is an awesome album.  Not only does it have all the members of The Fugees on it, but it also has The Neville Brothers on a track.  I'll admit that "We Trying to Stay Alive" is a bit tacky due to the obvious sample.  But he more than makes up for that slight misstep with "Gone 'Til November" and "To All the Girls" (shout out to Bob Dylan for his cameo appearance in the music video for the former as well).
