This past December, Wyclef released his latest album, Carnival Vol. II: Memoirs of an Immigrant. In roughly under four full months, the album has only sold a quarter of a million copies, but it has received acclaim from many outlets and spawned the hit single, Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill). Following the release of the Paul Simon assisted Fast Car, Wyclef has sent a new remix our way, this time featuring a verse from Lupe Fiasco and amped-up production from long-time collaborator, Jerry “Wonder” Duplesis. While an acoustic version would probably be a more vintage Clef experience, the marriage of two talented lyricists (over impressive production) might help the album sell a few more copies.
Lupes part slowed the temp down a bit but i enjoyed his verse..real nice ez flow on dis one...rappers like lupe are examples of the maturity of hip-hop and far hip-hop has come
This bang HARD! Production makes you bang your head back and forth! Lupe snapped nicely. WYCLEF AIN'T LOST NOTHING! Y'all better go cop the album. Dudes a beast. I been on dude since I was like 11 years. old. This is definitely the best of the batch of new songs tonight to DJBOOTH.NET
Let me just start of by saying "SAK PASSE" to all of my haitians who are improving humanity. The remix is by far more upbeat than the original. Lupe was a good selection for a remix. Jerry Wonder knows how to masterfully create great productions. I give this a 4.5 rating.
Wyclef debuted the music video for the original version today on "106 & Park" and that was the first time I heard the record. I can say I'm feeling the remix a lot more. It definitely holds a greater amount of radio/club play after the reworked production. Lupe Fiasco's acquisition was minor but his name will always make people want to listen.
This is very energic...I like it! But I prob wouldn't add it to my mp3 player. Chilaxx if you think this song is overrated, then why do u rate it 5 stars? You are "overrating" it, too!
lol i was thinkin da same thing pattypatty. haha dat shit confused me. i agree wit london's finest, its a lil too all ova da place for me but i respect da attempt. i guess sumbody will like it but it wont b me today..
Jerzey BOYS!!! I grew up literally one town over from the Oranges/Maplewood/Irvington where all of the Fugee members grew up! Dang I miss it up there. Anyway; this track is really nice. I like his upbeat songs with a good message. The flow isn't really hot; but its all in what he is saying...I will put it in rotation; but I won't be bumpin this down the street over that Lil Wayne Lollipop joint!
Like almost every song on Carnival Vol
Like almost every song on Carnival Vol. II, Fast Cars is a fresh
and very well produced song, with substance. This remix
is great; the variations
from old school to club like are crazy! It
pleases both banger lovers and old school supporters. Lupe delivers and
changes flow properly. Wyclef should have seen more
praise for his last album, which was musically rich.
Never been a Wyclef jus cuz his music is "weird" in my opinion...its different then alot of people but i don't like it..Lupe was the only thing that made this song playable the first time
OK.. I was a HUGE fan of the original version of this song, and this remix is definetely HOT. Lupe is on fire, and the production is on point. Wyclef's albumn was definetely overlooked, and I think everyone who didn't like it needs to go listen one more time :)
That's what I'm talkin about ...Great production, great chorus, great Lupe's verse...what else ???
they've changed the beat around, but it hasn't ruined da song
DIS IZ SOOOO BORING I DONT KNOW Y YALL LIKE IT! i wont rate cuz id give it a 1 and mess up da ratings (acually id ive it a 0/5 if i could lol) but anyway I wont list-n 2 it again...
wyclef will always produce bangers.....and this is one of em.......Lupe did the damn thing and his flow fit the vibe of the track.....feelin it fo sho....
I know Clef personally from my past and the whole crew....lost some love for the music but this song is hot and i saw the Video on the Playstation Network..Hot man
