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.

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.

my type of music, the revamped beat has a livelier feel to it (liked the original too), & lupe's verse is on point, of course.

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.

The self acclaimed #1 Haitian, has done it again. Teaming up with Lupe was a great idea for the remix. This is hot, my kind of music for sure.

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!

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 :)
