It's frustrating when comments constantly label her as underrated. Tracy Chapman isn't underrated; she simply chooses not to be overrated like other artists who rely on auto-tune or lavish media and advertising budgets. She creates music solely for those who truly grasp it, those willing to open their minds and comprehend the reasons behind her lyrics. Her music isn't meant for mass appeal; she's unconcerned with the pursuit of material wealth, often associated with being overrated. Therefore, it's not that she's underrated, but rather, she's exactly where she wants to be.
