See beta country. It would have been a different story if this happened in Nigeria

I guess you should have asked, what’s the difference between what he has done and the works of many lobbyists in Washington?

"Michael also testified in his own defence and said Low wanted a picture with Mr Obama in 2012 and was willing to pay millions of dollars to get it"....Hmm

I guess he was paid to lobby…
Re: Fugees Rapper Pras Michel Found Guilty Of Political Conspiracy by naptu2: 8:02am On Apr 27, 2023
The basic problem is that he was acting as a lobbyist for a foreign power without declaring it.

In the USA, if you are acting in the interest of a foreign entity, you must declare it and register as an agent of a foreign power.

sadvery easy to get a 20 year staying power in a world with no media and internet saturation. if michael jackson came out in this internet media saturated age he wont last past 6 months before being discarded . those days of long lasting stars are over. one of the curses of the internet

That's not the only limitation.

R.Kelly (of blessed memory grin ) was able last.

Wyclef got sated.

Only a very few achieve this feat in their life time…

To me any one who stays more than 4 or 5 years at the peak has paid their dues. Then are those who stay at the peak for decades. They are exceptional. It takes a lot to achieve that…

Not just talent alone!

Yeah.

I think they all underachieved considering their individual talent.

Lauryn fell off the planet for 10 years despite being the biggest thing for about 2 years.

Same with Wyclef.

From being the most sought after producer to being unproductive for decades.

Don't get me wrong, when they delivered they delivered.

But for some reason they lacked staying power.

I swear Ed Sheeran has had a longer career than them lot.

Wyclef had to stay of music cos of his presidential ambition.
The first time he tried to contest, he was told he was not qualified cos he hasn't been living in Haiti for a particular period of time. So, he had to pack his things and go back to his home country, Haiti

are you for real ? R Kelly came out in 1989. There was no internet proliferation till like the 2000s. He had an 11 year head start to get in the consciousness of the world with no internet distraction. In fact he started fading out after the internet came and started talking about his private life

Oh and wyclef came out early nineties. Close to the start of the internet. That’s why they had like a 10 year lifespan

Lauryn Hill was my dream crouch while i was in primary school, she was so beautiful and natural. I felt bad when late Bob Marley's son married her.

I won't forget her verse in the song: "storming my pains with his fingers..." Wyclef Jean was there too.

I think the fame got into their heads. Human beings are notoriously susceptible to some form of hubris once they start getting the adulation of their fellows. They themselves start believing the hype even when they know they are just as fallible as the next person out there.

Wyclef is bigger than Ed Sheeran.

And you are right, no ruler lasts forever.

Yet, there were people like Quincy Jones who did it for decades.
L
That's the kind of staying quality I expected.

I do not agree wyclef is a bigger artist than ed considering their times are different.....same with your juxtaposition with Quincy Jones,their eras were different...... artist seem to have a timeless era during their time because of the more relaxed and confined spaces they operated,a song in Joneses time could have staying power of even upto 10 years due majorly to restricted distribution channels and low penetration......a song could take several years to go round the world unlike this days where it goes round in a day and everyone listens to it the same time...... modern artist have far higher workrate and more intense delivery to stay competitive.

I am thinking maybe marriage, family and child bearing got the best of Lauren…


As for wyclef I don’t think he under achieved.

Music and entertainment generally is about time.

If you say wyclef under achieved then you have to say the same for the timberlands, the missy elliots, the jarules, even at the local scene where is 2 baba etc. where are all of these people today.

I think in entertainment no one stays at the top forever. Young blood springing up every single day to challenge your spot.

Only a few sustain the momentum at the top for more than 4 or 5 years.

The thing is they did shine and performed when It was their time in the spotlight. The audience have a very short attention span also.

In my opinion wyclef is a bigger star than Ed Sheran though too!

we also have singers who will stay for a long time if possible they would sing till they die..e.g Adele

More reason to respect Tupac. He disliked this guy and referred to him as a snitch while everyone thought it was just the usual beef. Now he has been proven right

what are you saying? Even some of our local artist.. gospel secular have stayed 5 to 6 years doing great.
Michael Jackson is naturally exceptional who would have stayed even much longer
