Análisis (en inglés) - :
Much to his credit, {$Wyclef Jean} is more of a producer in the vein of classic {\R&B} and {\soul} producers than he is in alignment with many of his contemporaries. Where most {\hip-hop} and {\R&B} producers are just focused on making a beat or making the hook as catchy as possible, {$Wyclef} has a vision beyond that with his production style as well as his endeavors as a solo artist. This attention to detail and broad scope of music styles has been evident since his early years as a key member (if not the key member) of {$the Fugees}. In a genre where formulas and playing it safe are the norm, {$Wyclef} is a mad scientist taking constant risks and fusing elements of almost every genre imaginable into an amazing signature sound. And although not every experiment can be deemed a success (his cover versions of {$Pink Floyd}'s {&"Wish You Were Here"} and a duet with {$Kenny Rogers} revisiting {&"The Gambler"} immediately come to mind), {$Wyclef}'s production skills on his worst day are still better than many producers' finest hour. {^Greatest Hits} covers three solo albums over a period of six years. While the argument can be made that such a short span of time might warrant a greatest-hits compilation a bit premature, {$Wyclef} has enough quality tracks to justify one -- especially if you are just looking to own his most well-known hits. From his commercial successes on the {\pop} chart ({&"We Trying to Stay Alive"} with fellow ex-{$Fugee} {$Pras} and the classic {&"Gone Till November"}) to some of his lesser known hits that only made an impact on the {\R&B} charts, every single one of his finest solo moments is contained here. Die-hard fans will already own many, if not all, of these tracks, but those just getting warmed up to {$Wyclef}'s style will find {^Greatest Hits} to be an essential primer. [{@Columbia} issued a bonus CD edition in 2006.] ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
