It's funk not folk tho, it's gonna be fun. 

 

 

Oop 

Since she stopped teasing act iii, we'll take the Renaissance Film on streaming on its one year anniversary and a cute accompanying album. Thank you.

 

If it weren't for Beyoncé and Shaboozey, country music would have been mostly locked out of the main four categories: album, record and song of the year and best new artist. Beyoncé is represented in album, record and song of the year, while Shaboozey is nominated for best new artist and song of the year.

 

For the last 10 years, and not including today's nominations, only four country artists have received album of the year nominations (and that's including more Americana-leaning artists, like Sturgill Simpson and Brandi Carlile) and there has only been one winner: Musgraves for Golden Hour in 2018.

 

So it will be up to Beyoncé and Shaboozey to represent country music in the main categories (all of which are presented on air, while country is often relegated to the pre-telecast) on Feb. 2 and maybe Beyoncé will finally get her long overdue album of the year win.

Has anyone else been listening to Crazy In Love the original version, a LOT more often in 2024? Yeah the live versions are cute but OG just HITS and Jay's verse and contribution is SO underrated. Also I played around with my Spotify settings to make the bass and clarity hit.

I still struggle to sing along to Jay's verse after all these years. It's not an easy rap to rap along to at all. It's so intelligently done.

It is a massive flex that CC is the most Grammy nominated album of all time! This album is really cemented in history on so many levels! 
 

First Black Female Country #1 Album

First Black Female Country #1 Single

First #1 Hot 100 By A Black Female Country Song

Most Grammy Nominated Album of All Time

I think something we've sort of glossed over when it comes to the country resurgence is how it's focused largely around men who make "bro country" like M- Wallen and Z- Bryan, P- Malone etc. Music that frat bros find "real" and "deep" 

 

Before "Texas Hold Em," the last woman to have a multi-week Hot 100 leader with a (real) country song was a long time ago. I can't even recall who it would be when you leave the faux-country, Max Martin-produced Swedish pop factory song "We Are Never Getting Back Together" out of the equation.

And to think it was Black social media pages making fun of her looks when she was only just a BABY. Still no apologies from those media outlets and internet personalities. She looks so stunning. As she continues to blossom, she looks more and more like Bey.

Poor Cowboy Carter. It's going to be the last 27 tracks of the ranking

not when II HUNG II HEAVEN and YA YA are some of the best songs of her entire career and recorded history

I absolutely loathe country music and even I can admit Cowboy Carter is a pretty excellent album  

RENAISSANCE will forever be special since every track got elevated live. if there was a COWBOY CARTER tour we would look completely differently on those songs

 

also when visuals come out (and if there are visuals for every song), they would elevate what we know even more. damn, i wish it could come sooner. maybe next year 

Virgos Groove was NOT elevated live 

 

Anyways, I think 16C is finally starting to get the attention it has always deserved  

I want to see 16C win that Grammy bad tbh. 
 

I've been kinda shifting to the tinfoil hat hive dreaming of a grammy medley performance. She obviously doesn't need to use them as a promo platform especially with their declined ratings(although a Beyonce performance announcement is a guarantee lift in viewership at least compared to 2024), but man just one televised performance of a few of the tracks really feels like it would be a 2 fold effect in boosting hype around a potential tour and more specifically should she win AOTY(not holding my breath) would help showcase the excellence of Cowboy Carter upon that potential win. 
 

sorry yall also just home high and revisiting the album for the first time in full in a whileeee and I'm feeling things

Don't say that to me. I wanted to get II HANDS tattooed on one calf and II HEAVEN on the other when the album came out.

But judging basé, CC is in trouble on that ranking.

I've always thought closing with Summer Renaissance was a tad anticlimactic. Very beautiful to look at  but there's something missing there.

hyped for the act 3 teaser that will drop with the lead(s)
