<BR>>Had Wyclef (who I can't stand) <BR>>been there he would've done his <BR>>material that suited the occasion.<P>What's wrong with Wyclef?(Just curious)<P>Of course he would have come with his material that is Caribbean-tinged....its part of his sound--he had 2 songs in Kreyol on his album. To expect The Roots to do the same (especially when they weren't really trying to be a part of the parade(did y'all actually think you could shoot like that in peace?)) isn't being true to their form, and I think it'd be more patronizing than anything. And honestly, I doubt the crowd would have even felt them had they prepared a Caribbean repetoire, being that we were all expecting acts from our native countries--including myself (though ?uest on that Afro-Cuban tip @ the Bowery Show was memorable)<P>>Now you've left a negative <BR>>impression including the vibe that you <BR>>don't respect your own by not <BR>>being ready for one of their <BR>>biggest celebrations. <P>I didn't feel that way at all. I was more insulted by the politicians coming out just this once to make sure that they have our vote come election time (hmm..I never saw them on Eastern Parkway BEFORE!). I was happy to see that our own even came out--only other hip hop artist sighting I saw was Peter Gunz.<P><BR>LoL...and all I wanted to know was what's wrong with Wyclef. (Haitians Represent!!!)<P>"Peanut Butter Capn Crunch is the best"--me<P>"That is THE WORST cereal of all.....taste like finger paint and lotioned breast nipples together!"--Mr. 1989<P>"Damn, now I wanna bake a pound cake"--the fifth<P>"Yo, If you can make that, I'll suck your toes!!"--NazDak<P>"Why are all my quotes food related?"--me<BR>Peace and Love <img src="http://www.okayplayer.com/dcforum/Images/happy.gif">
