      What did that cave slave say about Beyonce? I’m sorry, qwhet again???

      I was just telling one of my white coworkers this last week when they were talking about how “Beyoncé ain’t country…”

    3. ~~Karl Urban and Keith Urban are from Australia~~

      MY BAD THEY JUST HAVE SIMILAR NAMES

    4. stellarinterstitium on

      Keith Urban has been US country for more than 20 years. It’s not the same situation. Not that I endorse a snub on the basis that she is “new”.

      It’s funny that white artists think they’re the epitome of country music when the genre wasn’t started by them. They appropriated it

      Who died and made Luke Bryan the arbiter of country music? Also,who the hell is Luke Bryan?

    7. giskardwasright on

      Why do these people want to gatekeep musc so much. And what does “being country” actually fucking mean? Not like he’s out working the fields between tours.

      Luke Bryant is welcome to make an R&B album if he wants. Doubt it will sell as well as Beyoncé’s country album, but good luck with that.

    8. Saying “who is Luke Bryan” kind of proves the point that you don’t know who country musicians are. He has been around for like 20 years now. Beyoncé’s album is also hardly what most people would consider country music

      Look… say what you want but if Morgan Wallen beat Kendrick Lamar for best hip hop album, people would riot. Don’t act like there’s not some thread of truth in what he’s saying.

      When Ray Charles made his HUGELY popular country album, you didn’t see him going around in a huge hat and boots. He just did it.

    11. Since when does Luke Bryan’s opinion weigh anything, let alone “in on Beyoncé’s” awards??

    12. lol yall these award shows are meaningless. Beyoncé has cross over and will earn more than whatever Billy bob is at the cma’s. Can you even list the top 10 country songs and artists? Fuck outta here 😂

      They made him the face of the genre so they can tell their grandkids they like Urban music too

    14. White people in black business : culture is for everyone, appropriation doesn’t exist!

      White people when black people look from afar at white business : you cant sit with us. (see the nascar noose and now the Beyonce country competition)

    15. Funny seeing Luke Bryan saying that, when he is just a rich kid doing redneck cosplay.

      But also, the biggest country song atm, is a country cover of a 2000s hiphop party banger.

      Weird all around, not even like Beyonce did that much country. More like RNB with a southern twinge than any country.

    16. Same thing goes for their “cowboy” hats, boots, belts, etc. all influenced by Mexican vaqueros. The entirety of their country culture is borrowed from the same people they cant stand.

    17. pitchingataint on

      The genius who sang “Rain make corn, corn make whiskey” wants to weigh in on *real* country music?

      Doesn’t matter if he’s from Australia, he’s been in the genre for decades – idiots 🤣
