Beyonce country music banned from country radio

^^^ prior to her album announcement I also thought it was a genre thing, hiphop/pop artists should stay in their lane.
But it now it seems CM fans have been heard yelling racist stuff at Beyonce when she did a concert with the Dixie chicks. The dixie chick fans were annoyed and tried to yell stuff that was audible to Beyonce,.

The country music industry is (not like the republican party) beholden to its base which is white rural and racist. Hence why they kept trying to cancel Beyonce.

Notice when Taylor Swift (who is urban pop as they get) sang country she became a mascot for white americans everywhere. The CMI embraced her as if she was blue grass and a daughter of the soil (not a spoilt brat whose parents are millionaires and corporate urbanites).

Beyonce has correctly pointed out she has more credentials to sing country than most white country singers. Similar racist shills came out when Lil Nas x did a duet with Billy Ray Cyrus. The CM charts tried to ban the song but Billy Ray was country so they looked stupid.

In all fairness, country music hasn't been great in 40 years.

Country is very songwriter-driven, derived from the life experiences of the artists probably more than any other genre. Hank Williams, both Sr. and Jr., Johnny Cash and George Jones were masters of their craft.

Since probably the early 90s, country has become just as commercialized and all about making money as most other genres.

This is exactly why I hate country music. I've always called it "redneck oppression music", because we all know the kind of people it caters to.

That isn't right at all. The song she sings is completely straight from the heart and it deserves to be on the radio. Actually, out of all her music that is a song that should be sung.

Beyonce is laughing all the way to the bank. Texas Hold ‘Em’ was not only number one on the Country charts but the national Billboard 100 singles chart.

I don’t hate Beyonce or Country music but they are not my favorites. Artists and Entertainers I can’t stand making more money in a hour then I will in a lifetime is a daily occurrence. It’s called getting old. I have had to learn to deal with it.

In the last number of years what started as a good thing, a backlash against white musicians making all the money off of music the blacks invented has morphed into where any musician that explores music of a genre their ethnic, racial group did not invent is accused of cultural appropriation followed by an ensuing attempt to cancel. If Beyonce helps end that it would be a beautiful thing.

This is 2024 not 1974 when if your songs were not on played on the radio you had no hope of becoming anything more then a cult act.

Yeah I understand the part about not giving a damn about celebrities who make more money than I would ever hope to see in my lifetime.

I really couldn't care less about Beyonce, and I hate country music a lot simply because growing up in the rural south I know that it's a genre that caters to a lot of racist white people.

I do hate the fact that all mainstream entertainment is becoming political instead of just, you know? Entertaining...
