Tracy Chapman – Fast Car
From the counter

Chapman cut "Fast Car" first in 1988, and by 1989 Foxy Brown had already taken it out for a spin. Same road, different driver. Play them back to back.

Tracy Chapman wrote this one and cut it herself in 1988, a good thirty-five years before Combs got behind the wheel. Spin hers first, then his, and listen to the same song in two different decades.
