Starting point is 00:00:03 You know, side note, did y'all see that Beyonce is following Jay-Z? Now, why may that be? You know, it's not like they're in a long-term relationship or anything like that, of course. But I went to Jay-Z's account, and what do I see? Promotion for the Book of Clarence, which already released back in January. Why do I bring that up? Because I just want to talk about something that a lot of black people, ask for but then when it's produced by us put out by us starring one of us people don't go watch it that's
Starting point is 00:00:41 all i wanted to say now let's get into something that black people do support and of course deservedly so because this is one of the more prominent figures in just black culture as bianca not only is pivotal in her own genre but even outside of that she's so inspiring to a lot of black women who come up in this game called life. So besides opening all the doors for others, she also opened a door for herself to become the first black woman ever to claim the top spot on Billboard's country music charts. And not only that, Beyonce made history as the number as the first black woman to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot Country songs chart. So if you look at the numbers as far as Texas hold them being on top of the worldwide charts and of course the other track which
Starting point is 00:01:41 i totally forgot the name of is it on here or her youtube has i believe also if you want to see the video along with the audio analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio so anyways 16 carriages was the other track i was uh searching for and then also let me see biance Okay, basically she just made all type of history with her country track as far as charting. Now, I know she's not the first black musician to make country music, but as far as topping the charts, the country charts, she's the first black woman to do this. So very monumental, if I do say so myself. So following that up with a new album titled Renaissance, Renaissance. Act 2 coming March 29th now of course this was this announcement was made during the Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:02:42 because of course if you're the biggest ever as far as in black culture and culture in general you will make your announcement during one of the biggest festivities in the united states i was saying the world but obviously football the real football which is soccer is still reigns dominant over the worldwide appeal. So as far as in America, the biggest festivity, which is the Super Bowl, she made her announcement during a commercial for Verizon, basically with Beyonce periading trying to break the internet. And at the end, she was saying, okay, let's drop the music, which then led to Texas Hold'em and 16 carriages coming out, coming out. And then, you know, the rest is history, literally, as she was the first black woman ever to top the country
Starting point is 00:03:30 charts so act two obviously is taking a little turn as biancé is trying to go more to her cowboy country well not cowboy but going into her country era and obviously she's been giving us hints with the album on renaissance act one she's been wearing her cowboy hat as you see right here at different events well this is a super bowl but she's been wearing this cowboy hat for quite some time now which some people may say is a lazy attempt of just trying to hint towards a country album but obviously she can't be too on the nose because the beehive will figure out what she's trying to hint at which is why she had to be subtle with her hints so they do say well it's a rumor allegations I don't know what
Starting point is 00:04:15 it is they say the third act which is what I'm most anticipating because of course I'm a hip-hop reviewer and Jay-Z to me is the best rapper ever do it dead or the live so when people are speculating that the third act will be a collaboration with Jay-Z. A Beyonce and Jay-Z album at this point would still break the internet. I don't care how quote-unquote old they may be getting. I still believe lyrically and sonically,
Starting point is 00:04:45 they still have it to the point where if they put out a whole collab album knowing what they know, being able to open up the doors that they open, I think they could get some of the best producers, obviously songwriters, well, for Beyonce, and put together one of the best. albums that we've ever heard like in general so with that being said we're focusing
Starting point is 00:05:07 on Beyonce so act to Beyonce's past country crossovers includes the 2016 single daddy lessons from the album Lemonade which also gave a hint at her trying to go more country obviously the announcement followed Renaissance and basically she said that the whole trilogy for renaissance was recorded over three years during the pandemic providing a creative outlet for biance and they said that the importance of independent journalism was also emphasized during the news cycle for for her because if you don't know it should go without saying but bianca is very pro-black so with these type of tidbits coming out is not surprising so at the end the day bionc's going to make history with act two being more of a very of
Starting point is 00:05:59 a country centric album and then the third reportedly being an entire collaborative project with her husband j z so with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about in general biancé putting out renaissance act to march 29th and also are you a fan of this new turn with the country album
