Drive Slow is the fifth and final single from Kanye West's 2005 album, Late Registration. It features Paul Wall (the song is also featured on Wall's album The Peoples Champ), John Legend and GLC. Back-up vocals were provided by singer Tony Williams. The song samples Hank Crawford's "Wildflower", as did 2Pac's "Shorty Wanna Be a Thug", Eminem's "No One's Iller", Dynospectrum's "Anything is Everything" and Masta Ace's "Revelations".
A remix was later released onto mixtapes featuring an additional verse from T.I. The remix was also released on a limited edition Bonus Disc DVD from T.I.'s album, King.
The song was originally to feature M.I.A who opted out of the appearance due to a busy schedule.[1]
[edit] Music video
The video for "Drive Slow" was filmed in both Reno, NV and Las Vegas, NV and was directed by Hype Williams. It features T.I.'s verse from the remix version on the special edition of his album King. The song having also been slightly altered; certain notes have been lengthened and made more frequent. At the last few seconds of the video, the song changes into a chopped and screwed tempo.
With the exception of the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, most other vehicles featured are Lincoln. The Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Mark LT are very prominent in the video.
