Keith Urban is from Australia and y’all basically made him the face of the genre. But the girl from Houston needs to prove she’s part of your world?

Tank’s boxing intelligence is just astounding. You can literally see the moment he said to himself “I got him.”

The criminal justice system is the only arena where anything less than 100% success is deemed a failure. If any other program had a 90%+ success rate, it would be hailed miraculous.

Can we all apologize to J. Cole?

I feel like people who chose Drake in the beginning should have to sit with their decisions. You can’t switch sides now. 😂

The WNBA Players Salary Was Always Been Disrespectful. But Why All Of A Sudden It’s So Much Outrage About It Now? It Was Disrespectful Last Year, The Year Before That & The Year Before That! I Get The Viewership, Attendance Etc Is Their Justification! But Why The Outrage Now? 🤔

A’ja Wilson, who is a 2-time league MVP, 2-time WNBA champion, 2-time DPOY, a Finals MVP, a 5 time WNBA All Star, and a best-selling author, is probably somewhere like …

This is the moment yall, where we dismantle the genre machine. I was happy to produce and write for AMERIICAN REQUIEM, along with Beyoncé and Dion "NO ID" Wilson. When I catch inspiration, the words and chords pour out of me. What a honor to then see how brilliantly Beyoncé made them her own and THEN further enhanced the lyrical statement, synthesizing it into the larger body of work. After the harrowing vocal prelude that happens to start Cowboy Carter, you get to hear these words that read like a proclaimation. "Do you hear me or do you fear me? " or better yet in our Louisiana vernacular "Looka dere, Looka dere"

Prior to this, Dion and I had been on a creative journey, having conversations about the state of music and where we could take it. We'd been having these conversations for years but something about recent times has felt ripe with the power of actualization. When I picked up my guitar and notebook to write this song I put my trust God to liberate my creative mind, as I always do when channeling inspiration.

Quincy Jones told me, as he also wrote in his forward to my WE ARE album, "it's up to you to de categorize American music!! " , which is what Duke Ellington told him. I really believe that is our generations role, led by a few artists willing to take this leap.

@Beyonce, very grateful for my contribution to your brilliant album, a work of such unimaginable impact and artistic firepower by a once in a generation artist. So glad that we finally got to collaborate with each other at this time.

Producing and writing for AMERIICAN REQUIEM was an example of extraordinary alignment—when many leading artists see a similar vision at the same time, that's when you know a major shift is happening. A new era, long time coming. Let's liberate ourselves from genre and break the barriers that marginalize who we are and the art that we create. Grateful also for the contribution by my brother @dixson and the other collaborators who made this opening statement of Cowboy Carter possible.

i hope this beyoncé era inspires people to look up some influential Black artists in country music. linda martell was the first Black woman solo artist to play the grand ole opry. she endured so much. i learned about her during one of my many research nights on jstor at rutgers.
