"Country"
I listened to her country song. Aside from the profanity, it doesn't sound any different from all the other shit they call country these days.
shareTEXAS HOLD 'EM is really good. Catchy tune.

I think the question needs to be asked is Beyonce making a Country Music Album cultural appropriation? Black people complain about White Rappers all the time but Beyonce has never done anything to say she's lived country life. It's as laughable as when Taylor Swift started out as a country singer.
shareSwift is from PA = cultural appropriation. A lot of her music is pop. She has to fake a twang if she sings country.
Beyonce is a Texan = country is her culture.
Not everyone from Texas is “country.”
shareNo one from Pennsylvania is.
Beyoncé, born and raised in Houston = very country.
Too many people are unaware of history. The first cowboys were Indians called vaqueros when part of the U.S. was still Mexico. Cowboy culture and terms came from them:

Later, Mexicans and African-Americans were 1/3 of the cowboys in the American West.
Country music origin has African-American influences. Did you know that the banjo is a West African musical instrument brought over during the slave trade?

Schools are banning history books because they fear it.
That’s very interesting. I had no clue about the origins of the banjo instrument.
I have no idea of her history, but because she is from a huge city like Houston, I would have to question if she were indeed “counrty” or not.
More proof of just how fucking stupid you are. Houston is the largest city in Texas and you've obviously NEVER been there. Not "country" at all. You can grow up in a Texas ghetto as easily as a New York one.
While Swift is not country and never was, there is tons of "country" in PA, you fucking halfwit.
They're not country because of their music, plain and simple. Where they're from or how they grew up is irrelevant. Merle Haggard was from CA. Dwight Yoakam was born in KY but grew up in Ohio. It's all about their music.
Cowboys and banjos have nothing to do with it but I'm not surprised you think they do.
This whole argument is what happens when ignorant dumbasses like you get involved in the conversation for political reasons.
New "Country" is shit, so I guess she can make that stuff, I will stick with Merly Haggard...
