Butch Cassidy Remakes Tracy Chapman Classic "Fast Car" - By : Rud - April 17, 2009
(http://www.dubcnm.com/artistimages/butchcassidy03.jpg)
Earlier this week we dropped and update on legendary gangsta soul singer Butch Cassidy. In that update we not only recapped some recent music but also told you how, at long last, he is finally free of restrictions that, until now, have prevented him from releasing his debut solo album.
The new album title is the aptly named "First & Last" and today we have been presented with the first single from the new album, we are also expecting an announcment that Butch described as an announcement about "everything that’s been going on and the legal troubles that have barred me from releasing an album until now."
The single has arrived before the announcement and to avoid delay we have it here now for stream and download. "Fast Car" is, as promised, a remake - of the classic track by Tracy Chapman of the same name. The new version is produced by Qura who has worked alongside Rihanna, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce fame.
Butch Cassidy - Fast Car (Produced By Qura)
Enjoy the new track, drop your comments on our forum, and check back for this update to ammended with the announcment as soon as its available. Expect "First & Last" in stores on May 26th, 2009

Yeah this is low man i heard it last night
-
i love the original of this record...so regardless how "Pop" this is i am definitely digging it and I think itll be huge 4 Butch if it hits radio...REAL TALK this can make him a big artist!! Support him with this instead of holding him down and keeping him an underground favorite artist of yours!!
-
damn i'm disapointed as a motherfucka!
wtf is he doin'? butch doesn't need that autotune bullshit!! leave it to the wack ass singer as kanye west and game that don't want to pay a real singer for their hook!!!
this is not the worst autotune song but once again we want butch's voice! that's what makes him feels unique and now he just sounds like everyone else!!
still can't wait for his whole record hope it's gonna be the only wack song...
chuuuch
-
At least butch can sing,there's nothing wrong with this song. Its not like kanye west or t-pain,these fuckers can't sing without the auto-tune.
This is just something for the radios.
VIVA BUTCH CASSIDY! 8)

This is bad! Oh my god! Butch got the greatest voice in the game. He doesn't need this auto tune. This auto tune sucks donkey balls!!! All I See is a million times better than this bullshit. Scrap this song please! Very disappointed :-X
-
Ouch...this is not good. Swing and a miss Butch
as stupid as it sound I hope Nate health pbs will keep him away from music until this autotune thing is way played out so when he comes back , he wont be tempted to use it ... Nate on Autotune would be an ALL TIME LOW

This is a sad day

What some of you guys are after baffles me, of course Butch is an awesome singer but this has got Hit Single stamped all over.
- The familiarity of the original which is a classic record
- The modern production
- The "in" autotuning (like it or not)
- Butch's pitch on the track

You are correct Rud im sure it has the in factor with Auto tune in it but me as a westcoast fan and being used to that original westcoast hook era being blessed with great westcoast hook makers i dont like auto tune
-
The worst part is if this didn't have auto tune i would of been all over this song because i really do like butch cassidy in this shit i actually think that butch songs more feminine than Tracey chapman in this even though in no way does Butch sound feminine
-
Fast Car is an ill song, so I like this remake, coulda done without the auto tune, but hopefully this helps him do it big
-
JESUS CHRIST!!
You got a voice like Butch's and then use autotune on it?! It's not only on the hook, it's throughout the entire song! WTF is wrong with these people??
And as if that wasn't enough they still work with that Ill Will homo.
If this is a taste of what the album is like, I'd rather have them redo it and never put this garbage out. Everything is better than this bullshit.

Everything you mentionned here is not something I expect from an artist like Butch. Don't get me wrong, I don't want an old-as-fuck G-Funk type of record, but I liked his previous singles.
An artist should never use autotune or use the lollipop type of beat only to get recognition. That being said, maybe he just want to be big and not make great music. To each his own.
I'm really, really dissapointed. The only good thing about this is the song they chose to remake. Fast Car is a really good track. Seriously, Butch, don't use autotune anymore you don't need it.
-
I Think This Track Is Pretty Ill! 8) Mind You He Didn't Need The Autotune The Whole Time But It's Still A Good Track!!
-
The auto-tune continues to plague hip-hop.
Fast Car? i should of known it was going to be some Akon type piss-poor soft pop lullaby shit and not about car jackings and Ghetto Bird chases in the hood.
-
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING
-
Why oh why would you use autotune. i mean if it gets him a top 40 single, great. but at what cost? this is only fuelling the shittiness of hip hop these days. im sorry butch but im a big fan, and wont be listening to this song.

AGREED, This has hit writing all over it. Which the right promotion this song could be BIG. And hes got one sone with the Auto tone and if it helps Butch get into the mainstreem and sell alot more records, and get the album out sooner. Im all for it! Im sure the whole album wont sound like this. But the track is still pretty ill, nice laid back track. I hope this does become a hit, Butch deserves all the success he can get.

i like that cut. :)
-
Regardless that im fillin this song or not( whitch im not sure if i do, butch whit aotu tune is like yao mingh whit high heels, no point) , but anyway i m gonna play this to everyone i know(i live in norway, they mostly listen to pop music over here so the probly love this song) bacause i realy realy fucking realy want that Butch Cassidy album to come out and if this single flops it will never come out.
Even if you think this is a wack song, if he had choosed a gangsterr song that the fans probly would have felt, but noone else, the album probly would never come out,,, so lets just hope teenagers whit bad taste everywhere enjoy this song so the rest of us can get the whole fucin album...
-
this is beneath butch cassidy....and the beat sounds like a MIDI tune
-
As an introduction, a couple random facts about A LOT of the average DUBCC members (most of them have at least one of the beneath characteristics) :
- They complain about talented artists not dropping an album, yet they would not even buy the album, but download it illegally, if it dropped (I am not mad because of the download I am mad at the combination of it with the complaints)
- They are mad that their beloved artist sold so few copies, but lack the intelligence to understand that in order to sell in 2009, an album has to have descent promotion, a big buzz, a very good first single, a very good video, and has to appeal to many different people (white black rich poor) MANY OF THESE ELEMENTS HAVE TO BE COMBINED.
- Recently they remind me of modern hippies who support their favorite artist to the fullest, yet completely turn their back on them once they become extremely popular, calling them too commercial (crf. ''Artic Monkeys Fans Syndrome'')
I understand folks, that 'All I Need' song was awesome, but Butch's new 'Fast Car', although it contains autoune, is wondeful imo.
ITS NOT RON BROWNZ AUTOTUNE FOR GODS SAKE!!! NOTA BENE I SHOULD SAY GAYMES AUTOTUNE!The list is too long...
Some of the biggest names in the industry call T-Pain the only one who rocks the autotune in a good manner...and i have to agree, at least technically it is flawless...yet most of his recent hooks SUCK ASS, they have no originality, are repetitive, have no content etc... But y'all don't want to support someone who tries to appeal to a larger public while at the same time tries to hold on to his roots.

Meh...

disgusted lol

haha people actually think this song is going to blow up because he used autotune
-
Some people will never be pleased. I despise autotune, but Butch Cassidy made it work. He made it sound better than pretty much any other artist that has used it. Can it blow up? Sure. Will it blow up? Time will tell.
It's taken long enough for him to even get close to putting an album out, I'm just happy that it's even coming. He wants to try to expand his fanbase, show that he can do it better than all of these other mainstream artists, so he should be allowed to do that rather just being stuck in a box. He's done his thing for a long time and has helped others make hits and west coast classics. It's time for him to get his.
-
It was alright & different. At least its better than Jamie Foxx's autotone song that's on mtv 2.
-
fukk i hate that autotune shyt.
if he released an album 5 years ago, we wouldnt be having this problem with him having to put sellout shyt on the records to sell coz thats whats mainstream at the time.
autotune being one of the latest wack fads to be considered cool at the moment to do. i guess in this day and age, these artists believe they have to make their singles sellout music in order to sell. i aint mad at him for it, coz so many other artists have been blinded by this illusion aswell.
butch said he's sorry that it took him 10 years to release an album, so i forgive him for that, lol.
