Wyclef Jean: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy...Sort Of

About a week ago I talked about Wyclef Jean as an example of political activism run rampant in rap music, specifically mentioning his track "If I Was President." A sampling of the lyrics if you please:

If I was President, I'd get elected on Friday,

Assassinated on Saturday, buried on Sunday.  

Well, I suppose life imitates art.

Last Saturday night, Wyclef Jean was shot during Haiti's presidential elections. No, he was not elected president the day before and he did not die; the shot was actually to the hand, and whether or not it was actually a bullet is still sketchy. But still, a little eerie.
