Title: Tracy Chapman
Post by: CRAFTY on March 17, 2007, 10:33:55 AM: I bought her "best of" cd last week ("Collection") and man...what a great album. She's got an extremely nice voice to listen to. Good singer/songwriter.
I'm sure most of you will know "Fast Car", "Talking About A Revolution", "Baby Can I Hold You", etc...if you don't, check Youtube or something.

Anyone else on this board who listens to her?

Nice N Smooth sampled it on "Sometimes I rhyme slow..". She also had that joint "Give Me One Reason" back in like 94-95 that blew up too.

Anyway, I can recommend her "Collection" album. Definitely worth the money!

Check K'naans remake of it "VOices at the Crossroads" as well, both are incredible songs; Chapman is a truly talented artist, and Nice and Smooth took Fast Car and made my second favourite hiphop track ever off that sample. To me its TROY and the SOmetimes i Rhyme Slow.......

True. In the Tupac: Ressurrection movie, they actually play one of her songs "All That You Have Is Your Soul". Doesn't surprise me that Tupac liked her music...she writes from her heart, just like him.
