In other news, producer/rapper/philanthropist Wyclef Jean was recently named 2010’s “Artist of the Year” by the Harvard Foundation at Harvard University.
S. Allen Counter, director of the Harvard Foundation, explained Jean has gone above and beyond through his professional and person work over the past year. “His contributions to music and distinguished history of creativity have been appreciated by people throughout the world, and he is admired worldwide for his humanitarian efforts on behalf of the people of Haiti,” Allen said.
Wyclef Jean will be awarded during their annual Cultural Rhythms Festival this Saturday. Previous recipients include Queen Latifah, Herbie Hancock and Will Smith.
I’m glad to hear such an individual is getting recognized for the true humanitarian and conscious building efforts he’s done. Wyclef is very influential worldwide, even if he is not as mainstream as other aritists. His music is real and you can feel it. And he is using his fame to uplift his people and shine the spot light to issues that normally are not talked about.
Mexicans are also a fan of this great man and what he stands for. I stand united in his efforts and appreciate that an elite school such as Harvard is recognizing him.
It has to be said that even though he is being recognized for his recent work with Haiti, Wyclef has been doing this! The Haiti tragedy just put a spot light on the work he’s already been doing for over a decade now.
I commend Harvard for their recognition and applaud Wyclef. He deserves it. And to all the haters that were hating on him a few months ago with bolonie accusations, eat a phat carrot dipped in habanero chile sauce!
One!
Well done ‘Cleff. He has made some amazing music thus far and helped alot of people round the world.
