Tracy Chapman Appreciation Thread

[Sad Bunny]

That’s…my entire point.

The song wasn’t respected by certain members in the country/folk music world until a white guy made it “cool”. They knew about the original.

fukk you even talking about? Anyway I thought that you were done here off swimming in Hispanic bussy on a private island somewhere. fukk outta here and go listen to trash ass Bad Bunny.

Damn why are you so upset y’all be real life miserable and take it out online

@CouldntBeMeTho

Anyways.

He brought more attention to the original song. More eyes on it now. This happens a lot in streaming era due to popularity from tv shows and movies etc.

If she wrote it it's a win

give it a rest y’all. Music is music. It doesn’t have to fit within a made up genre

So blues, jazz, hip-hop doesn't exist as genres anymore either. They're just music

Just because there are different styles of music, doesn’t mean that a particular song has to fit into one particular genre.

Country music on some funny style shyt now lmaoo

Mofos talking hit hop culture using it in country music like folk not seeing it

I was just listening to this song today the Tracy version of course

 

[Menna]

That can

The rest of the album was mid. But this was a great song about how naive and hopeful women are when they start dating loveable losers and the pressures that mount on them when family and finances meet the fantasies in their rabid ass minds.

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

I was thinking the same thing what naive lyrics but that’s why ppl fukk with the song or part of the reason

 

[Geek Nasty]

Honestly I never really paid attention to the song's lyrics until they started replaying it after the cover was released

She's getting paid royalties so I don't see a problem

Fast Car could classify as country imo… it’s definitely folksy
The music industry didn’t know how to market her and probably just dumped her in the alternative category.

Facts.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

A country remake of the song gains popularity.

The song is from a black woman.

Country music has a stigma of being for racist whites.

Before we receive backlash for celebrating a white man's rendition of a black woman's song, we will honor her at our own awards ceremony to jump in front of any potential controversy.

This version the best
