Legendary producer Salaam Remi sits in with the Bossip crew to speak on his work with The Fugees and how it changed music, among other topics.

Eeeeee. According to a report by the New York Post, in Wyclef’s new autobiography, Purpose, he reveals that ultimately the reason that The Fugees broke up was because Lauryn Hill lied to him about her pregnancy, claiming her first born child with Rohan Marley, Zion, was his.

“In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn’t forgive that,” said ‘Clef. “She could no longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken.”

Wyclef Jean spoke about the work ethic for success, what he calls the 16-17 year grind.

“We went from the hut to the projects to the mansions, so we say you don’t have no excuse, whatever you want to be you can do it, we tell people it don’t happen overnight, the struggle is real, wether if you see me, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Shakira, Mary J. Blige, Lil’ Wayne, there’s really no escape this is like a 16-17 year grind for everybody that you see, so you plan to be in the business make sure that you’re not trying to get it overnight because it’s not going to happen and get ready for that 16-17 year grind.”

He went on to discuss his passion for literature & exclusively announced his upcoming book called ‘Purpose’,

“There’s no way you can have my brain of thoughts and don’t read, it plays a part of life, I like books more than I liked school, favorite book is ‘Egyptian Book of the Dead’. I always encourage people to read the Bible, read the Quran, make the choice for yourself, I grew up Christian, but half of my friends are Muslim, we have to find some kind of unity.”

“Actually my first book is coming out, there’s several books, first book’s coming out in September, y’all actually got the exclusive right now, my agent might be pissed off, I don’t know if I’m supposed to be saying it. My first book’s called ‘Purpose’, because that’s the first thing I did, I had to find my Purpose, and that what a lot of us go through, there’s kids watching this right now grinding and they’re getting hated on, so they be like what’s their purpose. The first book is ‘Purpose’, its like a biography of Wyclef Jean. ”

He said he hasn’t spoke to Lauryn Hill in a long time, but that he was on the phone with Pras prior to the interview,

“I ain’t speak to Lauryn, it’s been a minute, I heard about the little drama she got in the news, wishing her better on that. I was on the phone with Pras earlier, and it’s all good man, nothing but love for the Fugees, one hundred.”

Nas speaks on his July release Life Is Good, explaining that it is a “complete piece of work”. He reveals that producer Salaam Remi compares the album to both Amy Winehouse’s Back To Black and The Fugees The Score, both of which he had a hand in producing.

This isn’t a joke or a hoax or anything like that. Wyclef Jean – an active supporter of his homeland Haiti – is rumoed to be considering running for president in the upcoming election, as the term of current president Rene Preval is coming to an end. In a statement released by “The Jean Family”, it states “Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward … If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately.”

Rumors have been swirling for a while now that ‘Clef would run, and in a recent AP interview, were ‘Clef mentioned that he would somehow be “involved” with the next Haitian election, not clarifying if he would be a candidate or not. “Do I have political intentions? At this time no. But what I do have is a movement — it’s called Face a Face, ‘Face to Face’,” Jean said. “The youth population … we are going to encourage them to vote.”

If ‘Clef does indeed enter the race, he has a huge uphill battle ahead of him. Surely recent allegations made that he was receiving payment for post-earthquake fund-raising events will be brought up again, which his camp has denied. If he enters and wins, he not only has the challenge of rebuilding the country after the earthquake, creating a functioning economy (which the country has not had in years), and of course, the risk of assassination.
