This whole album is in response to how she was treated at CMA. American Requiem is telling them about themselves. She researched and it took over 5 years for her to develop this album. The album is full of history and reclaiming music that black people/ slaves started, but were kicked out of once it became popular. If you look into the history, it started by people putting on black face for minstrel music making fun of the slaves with their banjos. Then people who are credited with starting country, came to black street artists to learn their craft. Once it became big, black people were pushed aside and they started gate keeping the genre. Same thing happened with rock & roll, jazz, blues, and many of the genres that are considered to have been started in America. Thus, Beyoncé is reclaiming all of the music that we’ve been kicked out of that we helped create.
Especially this song is specifically about that perfomance. A lot of talking going on, people there were literally walking out, shooting daggers at her, and in one recent MSNBC article the journalist talks about a women in front of him literally yelling out, "Get that Black b*tch off the stage!" then despite it being the most watched CMA perfomance ever they yanked it off YT to placate the racists. So talking at and about the performance, the white racists in the audience with their "looky there, looky there" like it was some freak show they couldn't believe. And she's the one who is going to address all that bullshit and gatekeeping of keeping Black people out of the genre, ignoring the history of racism and oppression in this country and all the (false) big ideas of being a bastion of freedom and equality. The song is pure brilliance.
The talking when she was singing is her performance during cma's.. that situation is what birthed the album this song is so emotional.. she was telling her daddy lesson is not a country song well if thats not country what is?
Can you guys please take notes and telling us everything at the end instead of stopping the song everytime 😭 you literally paused at every good part of the song that y'all had to hear.
i think she was talking about all the white people talking too much about her not being country while she’s too busy making country! a whole lot of talking going on
