The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book
The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book is the second studio album released by Haitian singer Wyclef Jean. It was certified platinum in the UK in 2001.[1] The album features a guest appearance from Kenny Rogers, contributing a variation of the chorus from his 1978 number-one hit "The Gambler." Track 18, "Bus Search", is a spoken-word mini drama, in which Jean's tour bus is stopped by two Police officers, one of whom threatens to make them empty the bus' contents unless they play him something by Pink Floyd. The following track is a cover of the latter's "Wish You Were Here", overlaid with Jean rapping about the band.
