'Clef single
The Rock remix of cheated on is an instant clasic, a great CD as long as your not a L.L. Cool J fan.

Disappointing
A very disappointing release by my man, Wyclef. He's a musical genius and a true entertainer but misses the mark with this single. Just got one question-where's the remix that combines all the mixes together? The version on the video release? That was tight but it's not found on the single-whut up with that? To interested buyers-save your dough... ... Read more

The Unabashedly Simple Slow-Mo Flow
"Lookin' At Me" steps away from the Harlem representing emcee's uptempo party-rap sound - the dense, funky style. The number features Mase in complete slow-mo mode and showcases his flat, slow delivery that catapulted him to superstar status. The single is structured around a well chosen sample and razor sharp production by The Neptunes. "Lookin' AT Me" is focused around pedestrian rhymes at best and Mase's monotone can become rather wearying since he rarely changes cadences - features Puff Daddy who isn't exactly a preposessing rapper himself. The subject matter is simple - "tough guys" acting hard and the simple question asked by Mase, "Now what the hell is you lookin' for?" "Lookin' At Me" remains one of Mase's most successful singles - No. 1 Hot Rap Singles Chart, No. 8 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Chart and Top-40 Pop.

men i think this CD is the bomb
MA$E you really tried in this cd and i really love it. i'm one of your greatest fan and i want you to continiue singing and please write me.

Lookin at me rock$ Da hou$e
Ma$e is great in this song. A must have!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that Mase's cd, Harlem World is the best cd.
Mase's cd Harlem World has really inspired me.I think a lot of his songs also help people feel better about themselves such as it brings peole up to make them happy when they are feeling sad. Mase has a very special talent and knows how to use it.I think he deserves snaps for this cd and everybody should at least take time to listen to some samples.

"Taste the culture, know who you are," exhorts a voice in the opening seconds of The Carnival. While Fugees mastermind Wyclef sets a high goal for his first solo album, essentially a follow-up to the Brooklyn hip-hoppers' multiplatinum The Score, he never succumbs to feel-goodism or preachiness while traveling the songlines. Including everything from over-the-top operatic scatting to Bee Gees samples and Celia Cruz as part of its rhythm nation, The Carnival proves that, "Killing Me Softly" or no, the rapper/producer is far from losing his knack for mad fun and games. And, indeed, if you're not careful, you may end up learning something: witness the ballad "Gone Till November," a drug runner's unflinching lament. --Rickey Wright ... Read more

The best of any of the Fugees-album
When the Fugees hit big with 'The Score' they all got a chance to launch successful solo carreer's. Lauren Hill got both immediate reviewer and public success with 'The miseducation of ..', Pras got great sales with his project 'Ghetto Superstar' and Wyclef got almost no attention with 'The Carnival', except from the song 'Gone 'til November'.

When it comes to judging these debut records, Wyclef wins in all aspects: Wyclef knowns how to build a good melody up, and he knows how to mix genres, he delivers his rhymes with an ease that seems rare, and even though they aren't always the smoothest, they are never bad. On some songs Wyclef sings wholeheartedly as you would only expect it from Stevie Wonder, and on others he is joking as a mild version version of ODB. The versatile rapstar switches with ease between rap, singing and brilliant guest performances. Wyclef's debut album certainly keeps it's listening value whereas the hit records of Pras and Lauren are easily forgotten.

I see two reasons the later Wyclef albums doesn't reach the level of 'The Carnival'. 1: It seems that he has spend a lot more time and energy on melodies 'The Carnival'. 2: In 'The Carnival' Wyclef keeps an ironic distance to the ganster attitude in the MTV hip-hop culture. Later he adopts this attitude and that certainly doesn't suit him: It takes the heart out of his music. He has got to lose the ganster attitude completely if he wants make an album at the level of this.

"It's got to be more gangster, more powerful, more drugs." Wyclef says on Carnival. I disagree on all three.

Classic
This is a great album! Complimenting The Fugee's album The Score, Wyclef Jean's The Carnival and Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are true Refugee classic albums. Wyclef always nails whatever he does and The Fugees are still one of the best artists collectively or individually. Thanks for beautiful work ya'll!

My first 5 star review ever.
This LP is seven years old ya'll.I still listen to it.It's one of those CD's that you just can't let dust collect on.Wyclef may not be the best lyricist, or even have the best flow, but it's the whole package he presents in this LP that brings it all together.The beats are tight, the guest appearances are tasteful, and hey even the jokes and skits are funny.Gone till November rightfully won awards.We tryin' to stay alive was fun as hell.But the other tracks on there are what makes the album worth buying.Don't sleep ya'll.Amazing.
Best tracks:
Gone till November, Tryin to stay alive, Guantanamera, and Year of the Dragon (Lauryn Hill is Viscous on that joint)
Enjoy

In A Class Of Its Own(4.5 Stars)
Sleep if you want to, but this Wyclef album is almost classic material.There are some suspect joints that kept this album from reaching that status, but this LP is still a VERY strong album.Wyclef has a style that's all his own.This album has it all.This CD contains radio friendly smash singles like "We Trying To Stay Alive", "Gone 'Til November", and "Anything Can Happen".Cleff follows those songs up with meaningful tracks like "Gunpowder", "Bubblegoose", and "Year of The Dragon" feat. Lauryn Hill.There are even songs like "Sang Fezi", Jaspora", and "Yele" that are done in Creole instead of english.Though you might not understand the language, there's no mistaking the vibe you get from these songs.Even skits and interludes like "Killer MC" and "Pablo Diablo" are some of the funniest I've ever heard.The rest of the songs may not be as out of this world as the aforementioned tracks, but they are still tight nonetheless.Tracks like "To All The Girls" and "Street Jeopardy" are near classic tunes that are well deserving of all the praise they get.The LP even features a promising newcomer named John Forte.He rips "Street Jeopardy".It's too bad that he ended up in jail on some bogus isht.Anyway, there are a few shortcomings on the album though.Tracks like "Mona Lisa" feat. Aaron Neville and "Carnival" aren't completely terrible, but they come off as boring and skippable.They don't really seem to belong with the rest of these songs.But that's a very small complaint.The album is definitely one more hit short of a masterpiece.I would reccomend this CD to anyone.Go and pick it up if you haven't already.

Standout Tracks:Street Jeopardy feat. John Forte & R.O.C., Jaspora (My Favorite), Year Of The Dragon feat. Lauryn Hill, We Tryin' To Stay Alive feat. Pras & John Forte, Gunpowder (Another Favorite), Bubblegoose, To All The Girls, and Gone 'Til November

4 1/2 Star album
The Carnival posesses possibly the most creative musical production of any Hip Hop album during the 90s. It's not a surprise because of Wyclef Jean's diverse musical outings, from hip hop, Latin American, reggae, haitian, calypso, rock, and everything in between. I can't say if there is any large Hip Hop star that has the cultural insightfulness and diversity that Wyclef has. Being Caribbean myself I'm in love for the fact that he has patios lyricism displayed here. I would love to see him team up with France's superhero MC Solaar. The album is less serious than the Score, which it is otherwise a general follow-up, including a more comical feel. But this isn't to say this is 3feet High and Rising Part II, it's got it's share of introspective and serious topics. Overall it's a masterpiece, however I took a five star away because I am convince that Wyclef Jean was holding back. He could have included more intellectual lyrics on the album than he did. Otherwise, if you want the ultimate Hip Hop collection then you MUST own this album. ... Read more

puff daddy is poor
This is not real rap it's teeny pop music, the lyrics are appalling rapped in a terribly monotonous way, with corny backing music. Puff daddy is a rubbish rapper anyone who buys his music should be ashamed of themselves and obviously doesn't know what real rap is. This is poor.

Puffy Shows Rap Who's The Best
I am not that big of a fan of rap music, but I do generally like all of Bad Boy's hits because of the awesome style and beat they have. I have to say, that in the Bad Boy family and the collection of hip hop, rap, dance, and r&b music, this is the best song that I have heard. It combines the power and feel of only the greatest rap with the heaviest guitar piece I've ever heard and tops it all off with the lyrics of such great rappers as Lil' Kim, and the late Notorious B.I.G., and the solid guitar of only Fuzzbubble. It's truly the greatest rap song I've heard and has a video that will rock you like only Puffy could. Master P and the late 2Pac should have payed more attention to Bad Boy to learn how to make a good song.

This is the Fattest Remix Puff Daddy has put out
Not only is Puffy the King of Hip Hop... He has his family to back him up... and what a family to have your back like they do... They're all so talented and this not only is the Best remix by Puffy and the family but it's also the best video... I suggest you buy this if you're a fan of Puff Daddy and the fam... YOU WONT BE DISSAPPOINTED! ... Read more

sorry i bought this one
sounds better as snips on the TV commercial for the movie rather than as a 5 minute record

it was obviously terrible to listen
there is no need to listen it again and agai

Good song, but Sisqo is SO ANNOYING!
It's got good lyrics and a great beat...but Sisqo of Dru Hill is very, very annoying!If I ever have to listen to "We goin' straight to the Wild Wild West" again, my head is going to explode of a migraneheadache (this song is most equivalent to a migraine headache).Still agood memorable song.

This is the greatest CD for when you are happy or sad!
I really like this single and I think there issomething in it for almost everyone.I really like Will Smith and this song just shows his great talent yet again.The lyrics are very ammusing and easy to sing along to,everyoneshould have this single.

What's the point of rap anyway?
I'd rather be listening to the sound of thejet engines of a Russian-made airliner ... Read more
