celeb news Luke B to Bey: If you're gonna make country albums, come into our world & be country

[Triton]

Oh Luke, you simpleton of a man. Quite charming and even adorable but go back to making the most basic pop songs.

What a rude little ****!

it's not upsetting? you can resort to the typical 'you mad?' response but how is it daring for someone with such a huge career that was able to make her a billionaire going into a genre that (sadly) became so popular, daring? 

 

My point in mentioning the forum in another post was that this is how it is with every genre (rap, pop, rock, country, etc)

if you just release something and let it die like bey did by not promoting, not performing in country awards, by not releasing any type of visual to show what she was thinking when creating this, the genre itself isn't going to award you. 

It isn't about being upset at bey, though I was when she decided to work with Travis Scott after what he did in her own hometown but that's off topic 

Wtf are you talking about. 

 

Whats your response to what I actually said instead of trying to reduce my comment to "you mad?" since that's apparently all you got. 

 

Is your response and answer to my query "she didn't promote it"?

A Bar Song is #1 because of Tik Tok, not because he was featured on a random Beyonce album track that no one has streamed since April  Please be for real. 

The song debuted in at #36.

Not a single song of his charted before this.

 

I can give TikTok its credit for giving it a lot of ears and its certainly the reason it has stayed a hit for so long but do you really think TikTok was THAT QUICK to catch onto an independent, relative nobody's song so fast if not for the fact that there was a certain amount of attention and impact afforded to him from his two collaborations with Beyoncé?

Also a random Beyoncé album? It was one of the most anticipated releases of the year the moment it was announced. It had an entire multi-week #1 hit on it. It debuted at #1. To think that Beyoncé twice featuring him had no impact on his success whatsoever is wrong, and he'd tell you the same thing.

Beyoncé... expected to coast by on her brand name and popularity outside of the genre, all while promoting an album whose classification as "country" has been fairly dubious and divisive.

I don't think she expected this at all. Have you heard the album? Have you read the lyrics to AMERIICAN REQUIEM? She very much knew she was challenging the genre and those within it. The album itself being inspired by a negative experience she had at the CMAs, I don't really think she expected to coast back into the ceremony with wide open arms after 1) alluding to this in the album's pre-release and 2) doubling down on it in song.

What seems to be happening though is projecting onto her what you accuse her fans of, rather than just addressing them and their statements.

[king_queen]

Mfers get a couple hits and think they can start telling BEYONCÉ what to do with her career

It's literally so disgusting to think about how the banjo was taken from African-Americans and then used in Blackface to mock them, and that these performances were SO POPULAR amongst white people that it established the banjo as a popular musical instrument for white people to use and became one of the most iconic and recognizable instruments of the country genre.

 

And even more recently, up until the 1920s the idea of "country" music wasn't even a thing. And they only made up the term "country" to segregate the genre so they could differentiate it from "blues" which they assigned as the name of basically the same type of music just performed by Black artists. The disgusting desire to make country "white" has been there from day one in the pop industry.

Hello!!! The nerve of white ppl trying to gatekeep a genre that they didn't create

[Lyrical.]

Little does his tiny brain know that black people created country, rock, jazz and most genres you can think of. Yet another thing white people stole and claimed to be their own.

An absolutely insane thing to say about a Texan woman

That's a good question, probably when Katy's '143' gets certified Gold

Crediting TikTok solely for the success of A Bar Song (Tipsy) is outrageous. Clearly Beyoncé had major impact on his name recognition, let alone his music consumption.

 

Can anyone name trendy TikTok songs that have had as immediate a chart impact as just seven days, and from someone who would have basically had zero name recognition? I just don't think it happens for people that fast. Even Chappell who has had a huge year is still reaching peaks. Apple by Charli XCX was a big TikTok sound, and peaked at #51 in August of 2024, months after the dance was first posted. Tinashe's Nasty debuted at #90, started to go viral in April and it didn't peak until June. Its peak was #61. And compared to the scale of Shaboozey's career at the time, Tinashe and Charli XCX would be considered a superstar and a megastar respectively.

But Shaboozey, with 0 singles to ever chart on the Hot 100 debuted at #36 (higher than Apple and Nasty ever reached) and it's purely because of TikTok?

Shaboozey had the foresight to set himself up with a super catchy, fun track to be released 2 weeks after COWBOY CARTER. He was smart and he used this moment and it paid off, propelling him to 12 weeks at #1. It's not all because of Beyoncé, but in the topic of the album's impact, the light it shone on Shaboozey certainly paid off.

There is no impact from this specific album, there's been many other smaller black artists doing country that are from Texas, so what is the difference? because she's a billionaire that has a huge stan base?

 

and yes I'm from Texas so what? yes there is different types of country, like the original actually good outlaw country we had here back in the day that I grew up loving, I don't like this loser and the crappy bro country that started up ages ago, same as I don't like glossy country music 

says you.

[50thStateofMind]

anyone who thinks A Bar Song would even CHART on the hot 100 without Bey is straight up delusional

The dupe in here kicking and screaming 

 

[Lose My Breath]

Beyonce once never gave any expectations of anything, she put out an album. 
 

She absolutely owes no one anything, and has nothing at all to prove.

Furthermore "come into our world" pisses me off so much. You missed the entire reason CC was even made

 

Just say the TRUTH which is you don't want black people, especially women, dominating the genre they, themselves, created

The whole comment is strange, like she isn't "allowed" to put out a country album.
