Tracy Chapman

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Wrong. That had nothing to do with it.
We fukked with TTD on that first album. After that second, not many people fukked with him.
Tracy made white sounding, albiet quality, music.
There are Black artists who can do the folk thing but still make it soulful and Black as hell.
The late great Bill Withers is a prime example of that.
Just looking at Tracy, you can tell she was socialized around cacs growing up
Coming of age in the "racism is over" early to mid 80s and going to school with cacs informed her sound.
She's very talented but I bet she goes days, maybe weeks on end without seeing Black ppl.
I'd bet you what I have in my pocket that her lady is white as this background I'm typing on.

This is like fantasy hate porn.

Something is wrong with the coli.

Y'all hate Black eclectics

 

[SATAN]

I also wonder what people over 35 are listening to, because it's certainly not these trap rappers.

The trap rappers themselves are over 35

 

[I love Latina women]

This song gets play in every black household

Yup

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Tracy is a huge international star, trust me..
I grew up on her music, she is brilliant. Dont know what else to tell you.
Sorry if she was too earthy for some of you, but you missing out. Get with the program.


This song right here..this song right here

I look to the left, I look to the right

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Brehs...lyrically...

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover, for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for my lover

[Verse]
Everybody thinks
That I'm the fool
But they don't get
Any love from you
The things we won't do for love
Climb a mountain if I had to
Risk my life so I could have you

 

[CoryMack]

wasn't aware that Black people didn't fukk with her. i think some of yall just run your mouths without knowing anything about what you're talking about.

 

[606onit]

Nothing you said made sense. You're just tender that Black pl dont embrace an artist you like.
Or you're either a lesbian or a cac. Or a cac-loving lesbian.

Tracy Chapman songs definitely made the room stand still.

Some high caliber rappers oe even Neo-Soul folks should have had her featured on some tracks.

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

SEAL is in my top 10 singers.
James earl jones has always been what
i thought God would sound like and Seal
was his singing voice.

I'm sure they were but I'd be surprised if she was clearing samples.
