It's grown on me a bit, but I always thought "Fast Car" was kind of silly and out of place on Love/Hate. It still doesn't seem as fleshed out as his subsequent Prince homages to me.

it's certainly the barest, which is why i probably love it most

Never got the overwhelming love for Fast Car. Vastly prefer Nikki (pretty sure i voted for it in this poll)

'playin' in her hair' followed by 'purple kisses' is his pinnacle

voted "nikki" but i sort of hate alex for pointing out what a bad line "springtime, summertime, falltime, winter" is in one of these threads. now it bothers me every time.

I like that line! There's a beautiful asymmetry to it, the way it sets up a pattern of two-syllable seasons then stops cold with this abrupt dead-end. It perfectly parallels the relationship he's describing.

i think 'fast car' is a way better prince homage than 'yamaha', which is way overrated imo
― prego, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
yeah i dont think its a bad line either
― prego, Tuesday, 13 September 2011 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
and schoolin' life is better than both xp

getting the two of you mixed up

bump "she needs my love" down a couple, slide "shawty is the shit" above "falsetto". theyre all so close besides "ditch that..." tho for me
ha xp

tbh i considered doing so recently after seeing the dance troupe that deej recently posted on rolling raps did a routine to 'i luv your girl'... but then i looked at it and i could still play all the songs in my head just fine
― r|t|c, Sunday, 15 January 2017 00:23 (seven years ago) link
'livin a lie' is sounding great in my head right now. alfred always was right on that one
― r|t|c, Sunday, 15 January 2017 00:25 (seven years ago) link
Livin a Lie seems poignant now, like remember when r&b playing with housey beats seemed fun?
― Tim F, Sunday, 15 January 2017 00:55 (seven years ago) link
This may seem like heresy, but I could never get into this one. Probably because I heard the second LP first, and then when I came back to LP 1 it just seemed a bit too flat and not quite self-aware enough.

i always felt like that too, like i can't not be thinking 'i cd be listenin to love vs money'. i love fast car tho
