Reclamation or Propaganda? Beyonce, Cowboy Carter, and Country Music

If you liked this, and want more insight into what I create, get early access, or see exclusive performance vids, consider joining my Patreon linked here: patreon.com/squarecymbals Going over the many branches explored or hinted at during recent Beyonce discourse. We discuss her flag usage during her Christmas Beyonce Bowl Performance for the NFL. Her historic use of black panther imagery during the Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show for the 50th superbowl. We define propaganda, and explore Beyonce's legacy as a member of Destiny's Child all the way up to her current run as a singer, songwriter, and creative director, as well as her iconic performer status. We break down the history of Country music, and how it functions as a political project, and finally, we discuss Mario and how political recuperation occurs. 00:00 Intro 02:39 Bey Day Introductions 12:13 Lets Git Cuntry 25:33 Back to Bey Studio Edition 29:02 Cowboy Carter Review 39:17 Bey Bowl Breakdown 55:39 Wait is Beyonce Mario?
