re: Beyoncé Becomes First Black Woman To Top Country Music Chart

This isn’t my thread

You’re blind if you can’t tell OTs racism. It’s very obvious and they would rather say Beyoncé sucks and country music is dead rather than recognize her success and music

So it's racism as to why someone might not like the song? It has nothing to do with terrible lyrics, being of some style that many don't actually consider country, or that someone may not like country at all, etc. Nope, it's just racism.
I can't stand 99% of rap and/or R & B. I also can't stand 99% of all newer music that is played on any radio station. However, because I don't like the rap or R&B, I must be racist.

I’m 90% sure our Spotify would look alike

It really hits almost every “country music trope”.

But does it mention trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting' drunk?

Pretty good song. If it was by Carrie underwood, the OT would be singing praises

Might be a good song, but it ain’t country.

Nope

Is this the stripper that did the super bowl halftime show a while back?

These music (and race) debates get tired because music is so subjective, but if this type of thing interests you and you want to hear other black voices in country/folk/Americana may I suggest Rhiannon Giddens. She's been doing this for years and has an amazing voice and is an extremely talented musician.
