White boys are upset that Beyoncé is dominating the Country Music genre

Beyonce is not dominating the country music genre...AI Overview
Beyoncé has stated that her album Cowboy Carter is not a country album, but rather a "Beyoncé album". She clarified this in a statement accompanying the album's announcement, emphasizing that it's a genre-bending project that explores the Black origins of country music while pushing beyond genre limitations according to The New York Times. While the album features country-inspired elements and includes the hit single "Texas Hold 'Em," which topped the country charts, Beyoncé's intention was to create a work that transcends genre categorization.

Well, it isn't far off. Back a few years when a bunch of Southern states tried to lure businesses to move their corporate headquarters and operations to their cities they wound up gutting their tax base by giving tax breaks to the companies.

Taxes are what we pay for all the GOOD STUFF we enjoy. No taxes, no good stuff.

And, yeah, a lot of the South, especially the Tennessee Valley River region had to be drug into the 20th century thanks to what MAGA nation would today call "SOCIALISM".

It's pretty cool if you learn some history. I highly recommend learning. I know it may not be your thing.
 

Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards​

This marked a historic win as the first time a Black woman had won the award​

The video in the OP was educational in the sense that the banjo is basically a West African instrument, and country harmonies evolved out of the black church gospel choirs.

So when the soy boy country music stars complain Beyonce is out of her lane, the fact is that she is entitled to genre tourism of a musical art form her ancestors helped establish.

The regular five string banjo has long been associated with bluegrass or country music in America,
but the four string tenor banjo was a staple preceding the guitar in seminal jazz.

African Americans gave us jazz, of course. A precious gift.
All the more reason to hate the hip hop with which they're abusing us now.

I think most people would be surprised at how much country music owes to traditional black music forms.

Cowboy Carter was Number 1 on the billboard country music chart, which is obviously what pissed off a lot of country soy boys.

History is probably going to be relatively kind to hip hop and R&B. Hip Hop is popular around the world. I heard hip hop in Belarus, and Russia has embraced their own hip hop groups. I think the only place hip hop hasn't permeated is North Korea!

LOLOLOLOLOL.

So suddenly you care about people "answering questions"? LOL. Since when?

You refused to tell me what specific policies the DOE conducted that ruined special ed and you couldn't be bothered.

Hypocrite much?

Great.

Like I said, if you ever become someone who "reads a book" or has ANY interest in learning, some really interesting topics about Tennessee you might wish to read are things like the history of the TVA.

I point YOU at this specifically because you are a Trump voter which means you probably don't know all the huge amount of socialism that you build your life on. The things you like a LOT (like Nashville) are made possible through the beneficence of the entire country. WE ALL paid for that.

Now you enjoy it.

Just remember that next time you vote.
