And yet she couldn't let a young black woman sample her song. LGBTQSWE are a problem... Lol

I always liked her music from jump. People always called me “different” because of my music tastes though.

I dont think Tracy Chapman was rejected by the black community so much as she was rejected by the music community as a whole. Im sure she was seen as "unmarketable" despite her talent.

A BLACK female artist who has no sex appeal for men and performs acoustic guitar music with an emphasis on humble lyrics over flash and controversy. She was so far removed from the music and pop culture sensibilities of the 90s its no wonder she got drowned out and rejected by radio, MTV, and even BET which preferred sexy flexy R&B music and gangster rap at this time.

The fact she even managed to strike a record deal is a testament to her musical talent.

Chapman is a true folk artist and folk artists are suppose to reject overt commercialism of their music. I doubt she herself wanted the clout and the attention.

Folks gotta understand even 2pac did it for the money. Its very rare you get true music artists who are in it for the art, and she was one of them. I wish the black community would acknowledge her more. Can we at least get an Unsung special? She truly is a forgotten genius of our musical community.

Dope ass post Man you had no choice but to hear her lyrics cause her music was so stripped down. I’m sure that was done on purpose. Tracy was like one of them people you hear singing at a club or event that have you like “you should be the one with a record deal” Man nothing else has to be said after this post

MTV loved Tracy Chapman - fast car, give me one reason, revolution, etc . Not to mention she was killing those festivals back in the day.

i feel like Tracy didn’t want to be acknowledged by the black community.

She never made an attempt to collab with other black artist but, she broke her neck to collab with racist ass Eric Clapton or Springsteen, etc

 

[levitate]

She’s great.

Yeah we shoulda rallied around Tracy more .
