Hip-Hop pioneer Chuck D has recently voiced his opinion regarding Wyclef’s decision to run for Presidency in his home country Haiti.

In an interview with VladTV.com, Chuck D states that although Wyclef was disqualified, his decision to  run for President would have been great for the country that has been “torn between Spaniards and the French” since its inception.

“I think he is justified,” Chuck D said in the interview. “Everything up to this point has failed because the white man has had his western hand in an island that has been split between Spaniards and the French, so from the beginning the country seemed damned.”

In addition to speaking about Wyclef, Chuck D also discussed what has led to the country impoverished state, even before the earthquake and what he feels would take to help along the road to recovery.

“I think that right now then [Wyclef's] positive energy,” Chuck D continued. “I think that the country had been raped for so long by the white man and by western hands, that they need him to come in and give everything a different direction.”

Chuck also discussed whether politics was in his future plans.

“Hell no,” Chuck D said. “Maybe a cultural advisor, because I am all about bringing people together. “
