  • Subtitles section
  • We just walked out to Beyonce's latest single, Texas Hold'em, which made her the first black female artist to reach the top of the Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
  • Yeah.
  • Yesterday she revealed that the album cover, so folks could see, it's called Cowboy Carter.
  • She showed it in social media posts where she shared how the record was initially inspired by a past experience where she didn't feel like welcomed by the country music community.
  • So I guess...
  • You know, the best way to combat that is to put out a record that tops the charts.
  • And then people have to figure out what their problem is.
  • The best revenge is success.
  • Well, yeah.
  • Or to do what you love doing.
  • Why should the fact that other people don't necessarily appreciate you stop you from singing the music you want to sing?
  • Did they suffer for her politics?
  • I don't know what it was, but you know, you have to hear the music to decide you don't like it.
  • And you don't own the genre, so who decides what music fits?
  • So one thing you may not know here is when I was younger, I was a part time country music DJ in my hometown.
  • So I come to the table as an expert.
  • No, but I had grown up on all country.
  • The best radio stations growing up in the Midwest, they're all country.
  • So I'd only ever listened.
  • I'd listened to the things my parents listened to, Willie Nelson, and even Johnny Cash, if you want to, I guess that's country too, right?
  • All the different places.
  • I had never looked at the history of country music.
  • I'd just grown up on it.
  • Looking into it, I saw some of the most beautiful things.
  • Country music artist, John McEwen said,
  • in regard to country, it was music of the country.
  • It was a combination of the Irish, the recently freed slaves bringing the banjo into the world, the Spanish effects of the vaqueros down in Texas, the Germans bringing over the oompa of polka music, all converging into one.
  • And so it was like the melting pot of what this country always was, which was immigrants and people coming in.
  • And that is not just like the Native Americans, by the way, every time I say that, I know there were natives here as well.
  • But I think,
  • She owned this moment with success.
  • As you just said, this has been topping the Billboard charts.
  • And she said, it's not a country album.
  • It's a Beyonce album.
  • And I would argue that is the most valuable currency is a Beyonce album.
  • So I loved it.
  • I just had no idea what a hodgepodge it was.
  • And not only is it a hodgepodge, I mean, if you think about it, black artists have been performing country music since the nineteen twenties, and that Billboard Music Award thing, the list, started in nineteen forty four.
  • So it took eighty years for a black woman to top the charts.
  • And it just goes to show you, when you look at American history, which is also black history, which Whoopi often says, you know, the industry, music industry, tried to label white folk music as hillbilly country music, but black country music as race records.
  • That is the very history of the country.
  • And I think, to your question, Joy, the reason, what they're saying is, she had an experience in the year of the Dixie Chicks.
  • at the Country Music Awards.
  • They're called the Chicks now, not the Dixie Chicks.
  • And she said that she received a lot of backlash.
  • Well, they got in trouble because they spoke out against George Bush, W and the Iraq War.
  • They did.
  • And then they said that she was speaking out about police reform.
  • And so I looked back at some of the tweets that she was getting, and they said that she was un American and didn't deserve to perform country music.
  • So I think what she's doing is she's reclaiming the genre for the African American community, and I can tell you.
  • I don't see what would be more American than the first amendment.
  • She doesn't need to reclaim it because black artists have been singing country music forever, and we have a plethora of black country music artists at the moment.
  • But are we recognized for it?
  • Yeah, I do believe we are recognized for it.
  • First of all, we have to recognize that we're part of country music, which is something we don't always do.
  • And when it comes to race records, that was based specific, didn't matter what kind of music you were singing.
  • If you were brown, you were a race record, didn't matter.
  • They just said, that's what you're doing.
  • But you know what?
  • Beyonce, I don't mean to speak for her,
  • But I don't think she's thinking about those people who don't like her.
  • I think she's thinking about all the people who are happy to welcome her into this genre.
  • But she did say this is the reason why she did the music.
  • No, no, I understood, but this is me saying,
  • People wake up.
  • Artists make the music they want to make.
  • They don't make it necessarily for you.
  • It's what comes out of them, and they're happy if you appreciate it.
  • But you can't kill the joy of making music to...
  • Well, what was funny to me about this is I remember watching the CMA performance.
  • It was, I believe, of the year of the year.
  • I don't watch the CMAs because I don't listen to country music.
  • I tuned in to see Beyonce.
  • And she was good.
  • That was the highest rate of fifteen minutes of the entire show.
  • Shocker.
  • It was good.
  • So now what's happening, I think, is country artists who don't necessarily follow Beyonce, or country music listeners, are hearing her music and they're like, oh wow, this is excellent.
  • But she's also bringing over listeners like me to country music.
  • Crazy stats.
  • So since Texas Hold'em came out,
  • It's boosted streams for other black female country stars in significant ways because people are like, oh, I like this.
  • Let's see what might be like it that's out there.
  • But also in her defense, she grew up in Texas.
  • She grew up in a rodeo culture.
  • Her mom put out a statement defending and being like, this has always been part of her, you know, a genre that she's interested in.
  • This is why people have to like,
  • Y'all gotta stop judging everything.
  • People are not doing this for you, they're doing it because it makes them happy.
  • And just celebrate that, celebrate the musicians.
  • If the music's good, then dig it.
  • If it's not good, don't listen to it.
  • But you know, you don't need to be giving people attitude because they're singing and doing their thing.
  • And I also don't think it's appropriate for people to tell someone which spaces they belong to.
  • It belongs to and belong in.
  • You know what I mean?
  • And for so many people to say, Beyonce doesn't belong in this space.
  • What I have read is Renaissance was about reclaiming house music.
  • And this album is about country music.
  • The next album, my understanding is going to be rock and roll.
  • And so Beyonce is sending a message that she belongs and we belong in all those spaces.
  • And I appreciate that.
  • And that's the key.
  • She can do it all.
  • Now all the folks that are cretching and bitching about it, can you do it?
  • I don't know that you can.
