American Requiem {mass grave or burial}" funeral is laying to rest the past that we have suffered as a nation and now moving to a new way of life. "Black Bird" was written by Paul McCartney (Beatles) during the 60's civil rights for Black Women. The extra vocals are 4 current young black female country singers that have all paid homage to Bey in their songs and or interviews. "Daughter" is following the don't mess with me or mine vibe from "Jolene" {which is actually from her mother's perspective, who is from Louisianna} and having fantasy's that she needs to ask forgiveness for that she then sings an Italian Opera (Lost Love). Then she followed it up with "Spaghettii" (Spaghetti Western outlaws' reference) saying She's going to handle whatever comes her way and not letting the industry play her. Willie Jones and Shaboozey are new age Black male country artist. Willie Nelson is a pioneer in folk country style music and is known for supporting and singing about unity. Post Malone is doing a country album too. "Oh Louisiana" is a sample from Chuck Berry. Linda Martell 1st Black female country artist to hit mainstream popularity and sing at the Grand Ole Opry. This album is so important for the culture, at least to this Black Nashville Native Girl! Also the horse on the cover is a "Lipizzan Horse" They are born Greyish Black and lose their pigmentation over time. "Sweet" is sampling Patsy Cline's " Fall to Pieces". Last this album was recorded 1st after Lemonade then "Renaissance" 2nd, but she felt after the pandemic "Renaissance" was needed to lift the mood. That's why the last part of this album flows right into the 1st song on "Renaissance."

[@ozziebaez6144]

Thank you… People need to understand that nothing Beyoncé does is coincidental

[@CosmicJournee]

I love Joe asked is that acceptable because you not being able to finish an album has nothing to do with the album. Lol the white guy ofc is gonna drag the end of the album that was the most iconic part and rooted in black music. ✌🏾

[@Mesa4u2nv]

They clearly don't understand what she was doing and honestly that's unacceptable because she spelled it out on track one

[@maxmcnamara8382]

I've been listening to Cowboy Carter ad nauseum since its release date, and to me, this is her best work so far - and I've been rocking with her for over 20 years. There's a lot to unpack and something for everyone. The first half is slow, and the 2nd half uptempo. You're doing yourself a disservice to only listen to a few track. Might have been better off catching the 1st verse and chorus off each record - that way you can keep a mental note on what moved you. Tyrant is one of my absolute favorites along with Ya Ya, Daughter, Spaghetti, Levii's Jeans, and Sweet*Honey*Buckin'. Those who like Hip-hop, Rap, R&B, and [old school] Rock will like these tracks - I play them for my morning cardio. I dislike when people hate on an artist just for the sake of blowing smoke out their asses. The album is a critical success. Hate her or love her that woman puts 101% in everything she touches. That alone should garner respect 💯

[@TriggaTreDay]

❤❤❤ I was one that didn’t really listen to the renaissance album but I totally need to give it a revisit. But this album was for sure a masterpiece. A few songs could win her album/song of the year. I even think that daughter is Oscar winning level good.

[@TriggaTreDay]

But yes you are totally right about how them are doing themselves a disservice by not giving it a full listen. But so many of the podcasts like JBP are into so much stuff such as hit hop drama that they would never take the time to give it a thorough listen unfortunately.

[@hugocloudi]

The dance records were there because this was originally act i lol. The whole point was to challenge the confines of genre (a white man’s construct that furthers racism). Rock and roll was once called R&B. Challenging the definition of country was the point. It’s country because Beyoncé is country.

[@BeU127]

Musical genres are not a concept be created by white men, different music sounds different and we categorize them based on their general sound. Y’all say ANYTHING🤦🏾‍♀️

[@BeU127]

Rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm and blues have always been separate. Chuck Berry and Ray Charles were not making the same type of music, so it has different names.

[@hugocloudi]

@@BeU127 was Aristotle of Sagira (the inventor of genre and specification) that late launched genre in media outside philosophy and poetry not whyte? He’s also the father of scientific racism. They teach you nothing in school. It’s also not based on general sound. It’s based on specific design qualities-those of which Cowboy Carter meets and expands. Pipe down next time.

[@BeU127]

@@hugocloudi Mozart and Duke Ellington both played the piano, yet they played in different ways thusly we have to call them different types of music. That man might’ve coined a specific term for it, but the actuality of genres existing has nothing to do with white people.

[@torashi._]

[@robinvolpi]

This album is meant to serve as a musical education of the African Americans historic place w/in Country music, which would sound like Irish Folk (great in It's own right, mind you) if it weren't for the Blues & Gospel of the enslaved Africans. This includes the BANJO, which was created by enslaved Africans in the Caribbean then, later brought to The States. Yes, the banjo wasn't created by the Appalachians but by Africans. I could also go into the Black artists that many of the earlier big name white country artists learned from then portrayed as their style.... as it was with Elvis and Black artists like Roy Hamilton, Big Mama Thornton, Chuck Berry and Sister Rosetta Tharpe - The Godmother of Rock & Roll), but it would take awhile. ;) Beyonce adds a bit of those artists work into this album as well. Her last few projects have been a meld of grand musical production, a mosaic of Black History and how the two interconnect. It appears that Beyonce is in a period of the Reclamation and Rejoicing of African American Culture, trying to correct the record due to the erasure and gate keeping whilst also trying to push The Culture forward in Unity, Knowledge and Beautiful Experiences and Conversations. 😎 It's what she's become known for. The Superficial and surface level won't fully appreciate this album over the more curious and expansive minded.

[@hamoOT]

YOU SAID IT ALL! This is history. This is reclaiming whats rightfully ours & educating the world & bringing the conversation to the forefront. This goes beyond the idea of genres. This challenges the music industry in so many ways. love everything about the album. Renaissance being released after this wouldve been ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!!!!!!!

[@PressedByDestiny]

Parks not liking how she adds dance music towards the end is interesting, because it’s the second part of a 3 part body of work. I’m sure act iii will also have dance music on it, no mater what direction she takes it.

[@melsyoutube]

the lore of this album runs so deep it’ll be studied in universities for years just like self-titled, lemonade and renaissance have been. the concept of a woman’s drunken night spent listening to a radio station is SO well executed. she goes from lamenting about america’s horrid past, to reminiscing on her childhood, to struggling as a parent, to imagining her mother’s heartache and seeking revenge, to getting high and experiencing a bad trip, to falling in love and losing it then finding it again, imagining herself in a movie, coming down, picking herself up and leaving the bar. all of this executed while also paying homage to americana/folk and country’s black roots, weaving together interpolations and samples from a whole host of other collaborators. she really is a master of her craft AND a student of the past, always paying homage to those who came before her in order to push culture and art FORWARD. 34 years in this business and she ain’t slowing down yet. a LEGEND. many laymans will continue to appear foolish due to their lack of comprehension regarding this album and indeed her career as a whole

But when some people did their breakdowns of some of the underlining means throughout the songs it only makes it that much more powerful.

@@robinvolpiexactly they are so butt hurt that the cover was a master piece all on its own. It’s the sister version to the original and that’s what makes it so beautiful.

[@DaRunningMan]

@@robinvolpi " Dolly fan and don't understand why you're comparing the two. Lol" Because it's a cover. Of course it's going to be compared. "What would be been the point to just do a play by play cover of what Dolly did?" Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" uses the exact same lyrics except that it was turned into epic powerhouse ballad. That's actually what Dolly Parton wanted Beyonce to do and sadly Beyonce didn't do that. She mostly just changed the lyrics to fit her brand which is fine but not as interesting as what Dolly herself was hoping for.

[@DaRunningMan]

@@TriggaTreDay "exactly they are so butt hurt that the cover was a master piece all on its own" It's laughable to call Beyonce's "Jolene" a "masterpiece." Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" is a masterpiece. Heck, Beyonce's "Jolene" isn't even close to being the best track on the album. That would go to "Bodyguard" which isn't even a country song.

[@robinvolpi]

@@DaRunningMan "That's not want Dolly wanted Beyonce to do"???? Are you Dolly's fcking publicist or are you PROJECTING your own WANTS and EXPECTATIONS from Beyoncé’s cover?? Lol Your deludedness is particularly disturbing. According to reports, it was discussed. Dolly was considered, consulted, INCLUDED - aaaaand DESPITE Beyonce's changing some of the lyrics, adding a men's choir at the end (with some help from Willie Jones - young Black country artist), Beyonce STILL honored Dolly by giving her the SOLE writing credit for that track. Dolly wanted it to go big and to be popularized... as Whitney had done w/her song. That translates into DOLLARS. And according to an outlet, Dolly was so grateful and inspired by what Whitney did with that song that she invested some of those big dollars into communities of Color. But for YOU to present your own ignorance as Dolly's thoughts or wants, is alarming. Lol Holy sheit. Dolly has been had a rebellious spirit ALL OF HER LIFE.

[@LaCheleWallace]

Don't fight it, fellas. If y'all didn't rock w/ the LP, y'all didn't rock w/ the LP. And it's as simple as that. I understand that folks walk the tightrope whenever it come down to Beyoncé Carter even when it's strictly about the music. I'm not a country music fan all like that. Nah, of course I know some country records, but it's definitely my least favorite genre. I'm an R&B/Hip-Hop/jazz/gospel kinda girl. In country music, I feel like all of the men sound the same. Nobody has a unique identity, especially, vocally. Same applies to the women. Basically, it's one, long, boring song. My history w/ Beyoncé Carter is pretty simple. Over the years, I've enjoyed a healthy amount of her records, but to just sit and listen to her music like I do Faith Evans & Mary J. Blige, absolutely not. I'm not a Beyoncé fan all like that. The tone of her voice is kind of irritating. I do, however, enjoy records like 2006's _Déjà Vu._ But yeah man, ain't no love lost. Anyhow, I thought her country LP had pizazz compared to the other modern-day, run-of-the-mill country LPs that kinda clog the marketplace. I think folks are interested in the "idea" of Beyoncé Carter in country music v. country music through and through. Make no mistake about it, family, this is a trend. Let's see how long this lasts before folks go back to listening to garbage female rappers. There's this curious "love" for country music that basically happened overnight.

This is a masterpiece and yet these good balls don’t even understand or appreciate it. Shout out to the white gut with actual musical curiosity 🔥👸🏾🐝💕

I'm a country girl and I really liked about 4 songs including Spaghetti and I'm a Beyonce girl but Renaissance wasn't for me either.

[@mindbully]

Jay wrote the rap, goofies. Check the album credits. He’s on 6 tracks.

[@kristinev700]

The album doesn't stand out compared to other women's country albums that are out now.

Stop the Cap!!!! That shit was trash

Beyoncé’s album was too long. And lacked pace. It wasn’t a renaissance since she didn’t reference a lot of older Black Country music. She referenced Dolly Parton. The song with her and Miley is probably going to be pushed for a Grammy.

💯she is a culture vulture with selling power and they are not even aware of the older black country artists they rsn straight to the top white artist......white people don't even embrace or uplift blacks after they steal our music and likeness at all....and black artist are one hundred times worst and are always quick to jump on a microphone and kiss ass😂

[@whip1720]

There was no lack of pace nor was it too long for the people that actually listened to it. A good amount of songs are short and are just interludes. She did reference only black country artist you people just slow af fr

[@user-ci2sy5jb2j]

@@whip1720 she didn’t. Thats MY opinion on the album and its not changing, stay mad.

[@damilolabashorun8890]

She did reference older black country linder Martel??? And the cover of oh Louisiana by chuck berry???

[@user-ci2sy5jb2j]

@@damilolabashorun8890 I felt like the first half of the album was pandering to white country. That’s MY opinion.
