Wyclef Jean almost became a rocker instead of a rapper, after becoming obsessed with U2 as a teenager growing up in New York. The former Fugees star moved to Brooklyn from his native Haiti when he was just nine, and even though he grew up in the same borough that produced rap legends Notorious B.I.G, Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes, Wyclef reveals he was more interested in the guitar than the microphone, and admits he often mimicked the Irish band's frontman Bono. He says, "I walked around in a...

Wyclef Jean Talks DJ Drama Collabo Mixtape, "People Forget Where You Came From": PHOTO
From Jean's perspective, the EP allows fans to get a closer look into his inside life. "When you get to a certain point in your career, people forget where you came from," Jean says of the EP's concept. "So now, [it's] going to show everyone my skills and how I got started in hip-hop. Just in case you thought Clef was dead and he don't spit: Here's the reinvention....[it's about] whatever you want to do, you can accomplish.

"Born A Shotta" (Video)
You can't get much more straightforward than this. The video for "Born A Shotta" features Wyclef Jean sitting, playing guitar, and crooning with a red overlay. Not exactly what one would call innovative or attention-grabbing. But it's a quick video at just under two minutes and it does make you pay attention to the music, which itself isn't too shabby. "Born A Shotta" appears on 'Clef's concept album From The Hut, To The Projects, To The Mansion that was released on Nov. 10 and features...

Wyclef Jean grew up a teen rock and roller on the streets of Brooklyn — idolising U2 frontman Bono. The embarrassing secret came out after the pair were awarded a humanitarian prize in New York last week. Wyclef confesses: “I walked around in a trenchcoat, speaking in the worst Irish accent.” How we’d have loved to witnessed that!

McCulloch: 'U2 are for teenagers'
Echo & The Bunnymen frontman Ian Mcculloch has sparked a new war of words with longtime rock rivals U2, branding the Irish band's music "flag-waving" and "immature". The outspoken British rocker has been a fervent U2 'hater' for decades and uses interviews to poke fun at Bono and his bandmates. Often bitter about the fact U2 have become one of the world's biggest supergroups, McCulloch insists he would never emulate U2 - because their music only has commercial appeal. He...

Glasto Bloody Glasto: U2 To Headline Festival
U2 are to headline Glastonbury for the first time ever next year. Festival organiser Michael Eavis confirmed that the campaigning Irish rockers will be the top act at the next Festival. It is the first time that Bono and the boys have ever played Glastonbury, and he hinted earlier this year that it may happen. Bono, real name Paul Hewson, said: “I know lots of people want us to play. It’s something we’re working up our whole life to do. We really, really want to do...
Califone - "Funeral Singers": VIDEO
Generally, I think Califone is boring. 2006's Roots and Crowns is mostly one long, purposefully strange song and anything that deviates from that mold sounds like a darker, less epic version of U2 (which I guess is also pretty weird). Their new release, All My Friends Are Funeral Singers , is much of the same, punctuated with even more detuned interludes and stark moments of reflection. However! Califone always manages to produce one or two gems per record (see: "Michigan Girls" and "Burned by...
