Resumen del Editor
Wyclef Jean is one of the most influential voices in hip-hop. He rocketed to fame in the 1990s with the Fugees, whose multiplatinum album, The Score, would prove a landmark in music history, winning two Grammys and going on to become one of the best-selling hip-hop albums of all time. In Purpose, Wyclef recounts his path to fame from his impoverished childhood in "Baby Doc" Duvalier's Haiti and the mean streets of Brooklyn and Newark to the bright lights of the world stage.
The son of a pastor and grandson of a Vodou priest, Wyclef was born and raised in the slums of Haiti, moving with his family to New York when he was nine. He lived in Brooklyn's notorious Marlboro projects until his father, Gesner Jean, took them to Newark, where he converted a burnt-out funeral home into a house for his family and a church for his congregation. But life in New Jersey was no easier for Wyclef, who found it hard to shake his refugee status. Forced to act as a literal and cultural translator for his parents while still trying to master English himself, Wyclef soon learned that fitting in would be a constant struggle. He made his way by competing in "freestyle" rap battles, eventually becoming the best MC in his school. At the same time, Wyclef was singing in his father's choir and learning multiple instruments while also avidly exploring funk, rock, reggae, and jazz - an experience that would forever shape his sound. When Wyclef chose to pursue a career in music over attending theological school, Gesner, who hated rap, nearly disowned him, creating a gulf between father and son that would take nearly a decade to bridge.
Within a few short years, Wyclef would catapult to international renown with the Fugees. In Purpose he details for the first time ever the inside story of the group: their rise and fall, and his relationships with Pras and Lauryn Hill.
Wyclef also looks back with candor at the catastrophic earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 and his efforts to help rebuild his homeland, including the controversy surrounding YÉle, his aid organization, and his exploratory bid for president of the island nation. The story revealed in Purpose is one of inspiration, full of drama and humor, told in compelling detail, about the incredible life of one of our most revered musical icons.

By all appearances, Fieldy had the life. But he was on the dark path of excess, alienating friends, families, and loved ones, nearly destroying himself and the band. It took an unexpected tragedy to straighten him out: the death of his father, a born-again Christian, to a mysterious illness. Following his father's dying wish, Fieldy found God. Filled with the spirit of his new faith, Fieldy quit drugs and drinking cold turkey, and found the best part of himself.

John Lydon is an icon - one of the most recognizable and influential cultural figures of the last 40 years. As Johnny Rotten, he was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols, the world's most notorious band. The Pistols shot to fame in the mid-1970s with songs such as "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen". So incendiary was their impact at the time that in their native England, the Houses of Parliament questioned whether they violated the Traitors and Treasons Act.

In 1989, as US news outlets declared an end to Operation Just Cause, Craig Morgan was part of an elite group of military operatives jumping into the jungle along the Panamanian border on a covert operation. Fans know the country music star from his hit songs and acclaimed albums, but there’s a lot more to him—a soldier who worked with the CIA in Panama, an undercover agent who fought sex traffickers in Thailand, and a dedicated family man who lives the values he sings.

Great, great, great read!
it's not a an autobiography. it's a book filled with insights and wisdom for anyone forging their path in a new country, industry or world.

I just see Wyclef as an artist who is proud to wear his Haitian flag everywhere. Now I understand what he has been through and how he makes it clear to people who listen to all of the negativities. I wish he reads his own book, but the narrator did a good job. I am touched by his sincerity.

The man behind the man!
What made the experience of listening to Purpose the most enjoyable?
Learning more and more details about a person that gives you an in depth look into what created the artist. The fact of how Wyclef was shaped due to being left behind in Haiti without his parent. I had no idea about he and Lauren Hill's relationship. The explanation of why he chose his wife as his life mate, beautiful. Now I see why their will probably never be another Refuge's project. I'm so glad I purchased the book.
What other book might you compare Purpose to and why?
'The Measure of a Man,' Sidney Poitier and 'Callus on My Soul,' Dick Gregory
Which scene was your favorite?
Too many to name. The book really opened my eyes to how Wyclef was shaped. I think I can say the scene of His father at Carnegie Hall when Wyclef directed the spotlight on him.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both.
Any additional comments?
Wyclef, I love your book.

Good Listen
Any additional comments?
Overall a good story and an easy listen. There were some entertaining parts. Wyclef Jean's personal arrogance, which is on full display, is a definite turn off. At a number of points, I questioned if I would listen to the end. The perception he portrays is the one that he truly believes. I'd bet my last however, that many who really know him may not see him in the same light.

The raw honesty
Wyclef will always have a special place in my heart. The way he always represents Haiti even when it wasn’t cool to do so. The raw honesty in this book was incredible. But I also saw a man that was a bit selfish. I don’t know how it feels to be famous, but he seems to have been a very bad and selfish husband. His relationship with Lauren added fuel to their creative fire but also caused the Fugees to burn out quickly. The Fugees had at least one more great album together; but their relationship seemed extremely toxic.

Amazingly Written!!
I am amazed at this life story. And I will forever listen to The Score with differently now that I have read the making of that album. I was a fan of Wyclef Jean before reading the book but now I feel like I know more about him now that ever before. His story was so necessary and needed for the culture. I am also relieved that he has set the record straight but his and Lauren Hill’s relationship. His story is raw and gritty but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Haiti should be proud of their native Wyclef Jean!!

Deep!!!!
Would you consider the audio edition of Purpose to be better than the print version?
Yes the narrator was his brother so it sounded just as if he was telling the story.
Any additional comments?
I loved loved this book.... I can't imagine going through what he went through as a child. However I would have beat his butt too after all his parents sacraficed, he comes here and do the things he did...Try to kill his grandma oh my god I was stunned lol.. But his rise to fame was that of a man with AMBITION! I applaud him for that. His relationship with Lauren was the best part ever because everyone speculated back then but it wasn't a big story. Great book thanks for sharing
