Azealia Banks mentions Rita Ora in her new Beyonce rant

[Roughhouse Dandy 11,588]

One is highlighting HBCU's, African culture, civil rights, black empowerment quotes from notable figures throughout history in their art, and presented the Black National Anthem on the Coachella stage. The other has a skin bleaching controversy under their belt. So who is tap dancing for white people again? Just Olympic-level yapping.

She's right, she's a genius, love her 

[raragaga 8,119]

oh she's still talking?

[spookytanooki 795]

Hold up... She made some points tho.

I'm all for black women finally being seen in the country genre, don't get me wrong. I'm horrified that for Tracy Chapman to finally get any recognition, her song had to be covered by a white man.

I also regard the majority of what AB has to say as psychobabble, but she really did make some points with this one.

This is a made up narrative regarding “fast car” by Tracy Chapman. People have wanted so bad for the narrative to be “country white man steals success of black Tracy chapman’s song”. The version by Tracy Chapman was #6 on the pop charts in 1988. She got plenty of recognition then. It’s like saying Dolly Parton never got recognition from “I will always love you” until Whitney Houston covered it. People reach so hard for victim situations they just make up narratives.

I'm speaking specifically on the fact that she didn't win a Country Music Award until her song was covered by a white man. She was a black woman singing country, and she was categorized as pop. Her song was never recognized as a country hit until it was covered by a white man.

“Fast Car” was not a country song. It was a folk pop song in the 80s, written by a lesbian. Folk music is and has always been been in the lesbian community.  I think you are getting folk music and country music confused. The original version shouldn’t be celebrated as a country song, as it never was one. It was a very successful folk song that soared up the pop charts. The new version is by Luke Combs- and it is a country version, sung by a country artist. Thats why the new version is being recognized as a country song. Tracy Chapman was never a country artist.

Hold up. So you're telling me that it's not a country song, yet it suddenly gets awarded a CMA when it's performed by a 

1. White 

2. Man

 

But when it was sung by a 

1. Black

2. Woman

It's a folk song?
