"Wyclef Jean" is a song by American rapper Young Thug. It is the opening track to his mixtape Jeffery, which was released on August 26, 2016. The track sees Young Thug ad-libbing and rapping sexual boasts over a half-time reggae beat produced by TM88 and Supah Mario. Its instrumental features horns and a groovy baseline. Like other tracks on Jeffery, it is named after one of Young Thug's idols, with the song being named after Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean. It peaked at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100.
On January 16, 2018, a music video for the song was released, which subsequently went viral. The video was co-directed by Ryan Staake of Pomp&Clout and Young Thug, however Young Thug did not appear for its shooting. As a result, the video, which had a budget of US$ 100,000, consisted of title cards which detailed the improvised production of each scene. Although Young Thug was only featured in the music video in a short clip of him eating Cheetos, the video received praise for its novelty and went on to win the MTV Video Music Award for Best Editing in 2017. A day after the award ceremony, Young Thug expressed confusion in a tweet, saying he was unaware that he had won an award.
Composition and critical reception
The track features a half-time reggae beat produced by TM88 and Supah Mario. The instrumental features horns, and is driven by a groovy baseline. Writing for XXL magazine, Scott Glaysher said that the beat had "a distinct Caribbean vibe", and sounded like something that Wyclef Jean himself could rap over. Vocally, Young Thug croons sexual boasts while "ad-libbing noises that resemble a human imitating a horse", according to The Guardian's Lanre Bakare. Brian Duricy of PopMatters highlighted Young Thug's soulful and nasal vocals on the song's bridge and hook respectively.
"Wyclef Jean" is the opening track on Young Thug's mixtape Jeffery, which was released on August 26, 2016. Like every other song on the mixtape, it is named after one of Young Thug's idols, with this track being named after Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean. HotNewHipHop's Mitch Findlay considered the song "a shining point in Thug's discography", and praised its presentation of Young Thug's unique artistry. Duricy also praised the track, writing that it was one of Jeffrey's high points. Bakare criticized the track, saying that it was not a good start to the mixtape. Glaysher considered Young Thug's lyrics "nothing out of the ordinary" but praised the production on the song.
Music video
The music video for "Wyclef Jean" was co-directed by Young Thug and Ryan Staake of Pomp&Clout, and was released on January 16, 2018. It had a budget of US$ 100,000, and was shot in October 2016. The video was produced almost entirely without the involvement of Young Thug; he arrived to the shoot 10 hours late, refused to film any scenes, and promptly left after finding out that his Instagram account had been hacked. Staake had never met Young Thug prior to the shoot, with their only communication being a recording sent by Young Thug outlining ideas for the music video.

August 28, 2017
The music video was received positively and was met with praise for its novelty. It went viral, receiving over one million views within 24 hours of the video's release. The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Editing in 2017, marking Young Thug's first VMA win. The day after, Young Thug tweeted that he was unaware that he had won an award.
The video consists of title cards bluntly detailing the production of each scene. Originally, Staake wanted the video to be of Young Thug lighting the US$ 100,000 budget on fire, but Young Thug's record label was concerned with potential legal consequences. An audio recording of Young Thug's conversation with John Colombo, who was originally slated to direct the music video, was sent to Staake. The audio, in which the two discussed ideas for the video, was ultimately included in the music video. The music video's shots include children dressed in police uniforms smashing police cars and police threatening to shut down production. Young Thug's only appearance in the music video is a brief, self-directed clip of him eating Cheetos, which was sent to Staake two months after the video's shooting.
