This is why WP don’t want Black History taught because then they can’t lie about the contributions BP have made and still make in this ungrateful country.
The train beat rhythm came from the UK and influenced the 4 main genres of music PERIOD. Soooo, 🤷🏻♀️ guess who were the first people to use it? Ffs, the desperation in people to feel special and demonize others is nauseating and hypocritical at best
First of all. We are not demonizing anyone. Second of all we definitely don’t need you telling us our history. So you can go kick rocks without socks and stop being so fragile. The truth is the truth rather you want to believe it or not. Because many of us know that truth is not in you.
Lol I can tell when people don’t know history at all. Name ONE THING that black people created that was ABSOLUTELY 100% original and not even slightly borrowed from somewhere else.
We have created just about everything and it was stolen. No wonder they do not want us to know our history😭 In reality, just like most popular music genres, country music in the U.S. began with Black People. More specifically, the story of country begins with the banjo. The modern-day banjo is a descendant of a West African instrument, made from gourds, called the Akonting.
Yup. That's why we need to continue teaching our youth our TRUE history, beyond what school teaches them. I love how resourceful the Internet and social media has become over the years.
Black people created most of the music we listen to today, such as Hip Hop/Rap, R&B, Gospel, House Music, Go-Go, Rock N Roll, Jazz, Doo Wop, and yes, even Country music! John Schneider needs to keep his mouth shut! Country music is ours too! This video definitely set the record straight!
@@africangodman6145 Black Americans didn't create Reggae. That music belongs to Jamaicans. Don't get me wrong, it's still Black Music at the end of the day, it's just that my tribe can't claim it. But I hear you.
Bro., I'm proud of you doing thorough research and bringing darkness to light. Job well done. A movie needs to be made about the Black innovators of music to shake up the music industry.😊
Give it a few more years and those devils will claim that they invented Hip Hop and Rap. They are the only people on the planet who believe that if they steal something it’s theirs. Well it’s not! 🤦🏽♀️
I sure do remember seeing charlie pride on hee haw back in the day and Ray charles song just like a black man taught Elvis how too play the guitar and dance !
Well I'm going to say this, one knows country and one doesn't. So you know the rhythm and blues was our thing, country was there's. So me as a black person l have never ever heard that we came up with country music first.. So stop the 🧢. You know your Grandparents know.
@@lindaHalt1916 So sense Beyoncé want to do country. Now we came up with country now the first. Black people never call rather than blues country. You got some black folks that did country. Come on now Stop pushing this. And how old are you? Oh now I see who you really are 🤭😅😅😅 yeah you are funny.
@@jonmcneil222 We started country; we just moved on, as we are not limited🙏🏾🫶🏽 God has created us in His image; to continue to create new things. Have you heard a Black woman Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, Ph D, has created a cure for cancer, but can’t get enough funding?
@@jonmcneil222 Did you not see the video? It was very well explained and documented how country music evolved. Country music started with the Banjo, our musicians taught others and they marketed as their own. God has given Blacks many talents; we create and move on, we are not limited🙏🏾 Did you hear about a Black woman Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, Ph D, has come up with a cure for cancer, but can’t get funding???
I am from South Africa, where Amapiano and Gqom(Tyla, Black Coffee, Uncle Waffles) genre's exploded on to the international scene. We happy to see AA DJ's /Artists(melanated family) collaborating. It is cringeworthy though, to watch Europeans, and Asians first attending music/dance classes by Africans, then later emerging performing same genres with whites only performers to whites only audiences . Some sick shyte indeed!
Race will always be in the picture, and it is so sad. Music is for everyone so why hate another for trying something new? The Banjo came from Africa and even Thomas Jefferson spoke on it in The State Of Virginia notes of 1785. Tee Tot Payne is noted for teaching Hank Williams, Lesley Riddle taught The Carter Family, Arnold Shultz Taught Bill Monroe and Chet Atkins. And don't forget Deford Baily was the first black man on The Grand Ole Opry. Fast Car was already a hit and was just used by a Country singer and no one said anything negative. It's so funny that he was on a Tyler Perry show with a black woman as his woman and getting paid but are throwing stones. I am not so much so a fan of Beyonce but the hate is beyond.
Black is the beginning and the end. Our music, clothes and essence are ours; if others need to try and pick at it, let them. They are not us and never will be so long as we know who we are they can't take that. @@chayo4537
Go check out a book written by DC Cannon. In his book, titled Black American History, he speaks in great detail on matters like this. He says that white domination uses Black music as "soft power" to influence the world to admire and adore America. But the people who created the music are not only rarely given credit, but Black America is treated worse than anyone who comes from a nation that has militarily attacked the US. Also, he also speaks on the comparisons between Blacks and Asians, pointing out that those comparisons never seem to include which group has developed the most musical genres that the US ultimately benefits from in both soft power and monetary profits.
Travel extensively or surf a million channels and you see our "influence" (aka, appropriation) all over the planet. Then get mad when you point it out.
Banjo means celebration or festival in the Yoruba Language. A lot of Banjo names in Nigeria. Our ex vice president was called OsiBanjo. We have OyeBanjo, AdeBanjo. War Hero called Victor Banjo etc.
Thank you again the Excellence chanel for again SHUTING DOWN THE LIE"S !!! Black people have created damn near everything thats used on this planet and that includes the music !!!! GET EM EXcellence channel !!!!
And Black people created classical music also like we created country music!!! All music in American and the world is Black Music!!! And thank you for making this great, brilliant video. Peace
That would not stop infiltration from happening. No matter how many times BP create their own separate spaces, non-BP continue to invade these spaces and steal and copy BP's creations. Non-BP are just too damn entitled and greedy. They always turn to BP for the latest trends and ideas, that's why they keep invading their spaces.
I was waiting for "Bay-bah-baby!!!" at end! Lol EXCELLENT VIDEO! Informative and factual. And a great WAKE UP CALL to those who feel that Black people shouldn't do what WE created-the audacity!
I don't really care for County music 🎶 but I respect it. There are some songs I really love. I like Dolly Parton and I liked the Judd's. But Beyonce should have stayed out of this one. I was embarrassed to see the video. And she doesn't sound country, she sounds like Beyonce trying to sound country. Now K Michelle that's country with a soul twist to it. Stop with her being the sound of Black Country. He- haw? Hell No!
beyoncé said that she uses pages of the Bible for her period in her song lemonade. PRAY for her SOUL and ignore her music. People being upset about her music is the least of her worries. We don’t need her to validate anything from our community.
All these metal and rock bands that are satanic- All the underground music scenes around the world that are actually satanic. And you're worried about Bey 😂❤
@@chayo4537 I don’t listen to that or go near that either. she is the subject at hand that’s why I didn’t mention that. However, she won’t do rock or heavy metal because then she will be exposed. Then again I could be wrong.
@@lunamequaso you're saying rock and metal and techno music is that of the devil? I brought up other groups to expose how you're not actually concerned about the so called satanic energy itself- you have a problem with BEYONCE doing it 😂😂
@@chayo4537 she was the topic of my original comment. All evil is obviously bad. I don’t care who is doing it. I am fully aware that there are rock and metal bands that are not satanic. I singled her out because I was commenting on a community page about her.
You're right about, upset people being the worst of her worries. As a daughter of Sarah she needs to repent and follow the bible instead of using words from it in her worldly music. Peace
Books, articles and videos. I like to start with a Google search on a topic I want to learn more about and then I am presented with a plethora of resources.
All praises! be&a for breakin that thing down for us. Our father has blessed us with mega talent. Anyone can even check it out in the bible(Psalm 150:1-6), showing that we were perfecting these instruments even in ancient days. The movie "The book of Clarence" even has a small sample of how we make those instruments harmonize. Peace n blessings to you.

During the era of Enslavement in the U.S.; the music the Euro-Gentile Enslaver* heard the Enslaved* Black people playing, singing; and listening to was labeled as "TWANG*;" the origins of what is now labeled as so called "Country Music." Sister H.D.B.3*
Now all of sudden black people want to show support for country music? Where was all this support for Charlie Pride, the 1st black country singer to win album of the year, artist of the year, song of the year, and lifetime achievement award at the CMA?? Charlie Pride is beloved amongst the country music community, yet in all my years alive I've NEVER seen the black music industry invite Charlie Pride to a BET Awards show or NCAAP awards show, nor has he ever been nominated for an award. Charlie Pride received no recognition or honors from the black entertainment industry, only the country music community gave him his flowers. Now all of a sudden Beyoncé wants to put out a country album and now the black community is giving her praises left, right, and center in the country music industry for her achievements in country music. Charlie Pride worked way harder and achieved more as a country artist than Beyoncé ever will. Give him his flowers as Beyoncé takes a seat as we honor the real legend in Country Music...Charlie Pride. For those who don't know Charlie Pride, Google him. He's an amazing, legendary, and honorable black country artist.
Rick and roll was invented by a man call Chuks a black man. Calipso is African song. It was music that put us in class if African were given opportunity to do what they wanted many things would have happened.
The British today are singing swing low sweet chariot song like a national anthem. One of the best songs created by black people in the slavery days in the USA
Just because it's ignored don't mean yall own jack...in fact that's just like Rock music and even Jazz these days...yall can't do nothing that isn't stolen
Take a trip to Ireland and other parts of the British Isles, and you will find the origins of country music which predate any Black person ever stepping foot in N America. Other groups have contributed along the way no doubt but they are not the creators.
True. we may have onvented it. But, we didn't bring it to where it is today. Let's be honest. So we can't go back and try to reclaim something, that we pretty much walked away from decades ago.
@@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND hello BOND, you first must understand that the 1 true living GOD has a chosen people called the Nation of the 12 Tribes of Israel; which the "so called" native americans are part of. We were scattered out of Israel into every nation because of our breaking of GOD law's. There are many extrabiblical sources to prove SOME of us came from "so called" africa. You could look up the Negroland maps of africa, that the "so called" white man created himself, showing the resource's that he lusted after in africa, including where they stole slaves from. Also Emory university has a database of slave ships, their captains, logs, destinations, year of departure and arrival's, and slave's original names. Peace n blessings sister
@@YOUR-WORD-IS-YOUR-BOND please check out the Negroland maps made by our enemy themselves showing all the resources that they lusted after including slaves. Emory university has a database of slave ships, their captains, logs, destinations, year of departure and arrival's and slave's original names. These are but a few extrabiblical sources. Peace n blessings
If this guy was honest and knew anything about history, he would have discussed where country music REALLY came from: it is descended from Folk Music and Irish Hymns back in Ireland, which has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and then came to America when the Scot-Irish emigrated to America. The fact that he didn’t even mention this…explains it all. He did zero research.
Hey but it is ok for White Artist to sing R & B, Blues, Soul, Gospel, Jazz and Rap (Hip Hop) American music is American, most American Blacks are not from Africa. Do your genealogy to see if you have any African Ancestors. The slave trade is His Story not History and any slavery was between the Indian Tribes in America.
The first black female to have a song chart in Billboard was Linda Martell in 1969-70. Her 1970 lp, Color me Country was re issued in 2023 and available on ebay.
Beyonce is on a serious money grab at this time in her life why get into arguments about black country music artist information thats been out for so long way before Beyonce was born, She have multiple ways that people can support her and help make her richer. There is no need to try to defend her as if she's the queen of black country music, be careful what and who you defend
My sister don’t hate. Trust me, there is enough to go around for all who choose to tap into their best self, just like Beyonce has. This video is not about Beyoncé. It’s about the fact that Black people have the right to do any kind of music that we choose. After all we invented it all. John Schneider injected Beyonce into this controversy with his racist comments.
@BlackExcellenceandAbundance never ever hate, t's just a comment and a brief conversation, I never said nor will I ever say I hate Beyonce Hate is a very strong word used towards someone you don't even know, yet Im mature enough to know that will never define who I am as a black woman I really like your channel. The conversations and differences are nice to reflect on. I say to you, Black Excellence , keep up the great work, and I'm proud of your work.
Everything in this video is true and i've known this for a long time. That is everything except Beyonce song being country. One banjo don't make no country song.😢 There are plenty of songs out there with the Banjo That aren't considered country , and this is One of them. I'm not agreeing with John Snyder and I never cared much for the TV show.Dukes of hazard anyway. It was all about Daisy in the first place.😂
If you listen to country music, you will realize that it doesn't matter who created it. Like Blues, Jazz, etc. When you got it, you got it. Unlike Pop music, it's a feeling, not a style or genre.
What music do they own except nusery ryhmes? Oh, wait a minuet! .lol. If they think they have a right to say 'what are black people doing play a genre of music then what right they think have to play Jazz.
I saw Godfrey on Shay Shay. He completely wrecked their claim on country music 🎶 and the like by certifying that we basically created all music forms in the USA 🙂, a must see. Shan has his topics on this interview chopped up so you can easily find it.
😂😂😂 America is a weird place for sure as an African we definitely have been playing country music before anyone even over known of country music it’s just that Africans play the music or sing the music in their own culture and languages
Beyoncé has the god given right to sing what she wants to sing. Black people, go out in the droves and buy her record and make her the #1 for months and years. More power to her. Keep it up my black star.

We absolutely do not need your help with our history. Stay out of grown folks business and mind your own business. One of the worst tragedies that has ever happened is to have white people teach Black people our history. Teach your own people their history, let the Asians teach their history, Europeans, teach their history, Indians teach their history and You stay the hell out of Black history. We damn sure don’t need you teaching us Black history. Get lost and keep teaching your myth and theories to your people.
It’s amazing to me to read through these comments. Not only these comments on this video but the channel creators other videos. Nothing but hate filled sentences, racist, bigoted. I like everybody else have a a view in to all of the cultures, Nicaraguan blood running through my veins and I’m always astonished and at times perplexed at the black culture in America. As a perceived “white man” the only racism and guttural hate I ever experienced in the United States, beginning in 1971 mind you was at the mouth and hands of a 30something yr old black mom in 1981. S.E. Portland, Oregon 1981 my folks divorced so my mom moved my sister and I from our quiet tiny town of Scappoose, Oregon to the big city of Portland. Horrible horrible decision on her end. We arrived a few weeks prior to the new school year starting and she moved us in to these apartments that didn’t have any kids my age to meet. Several days later I’m riding my BMX bike on a side street all by myself jumping curbs and riding back and forth bored when a kid rode up to me from way down the street. He immediately introduced himself and told me I had a cool bike, I was so instantly happy! He had the SAME BIKE! He was my age! Same grade of school! He and I clicked instantly, like we had been buds since birth! He and I rode there showing each other bunny hops we could do, jumping curbs laughing and having FUN. Everybody seen us on that street, cars drove by and I remember vividly that people smiled and waved at us as they’d pass as he and I were obviously to them having FUN. I’ll never forget till the day I finally die and go home how happy I was in that moment of time. I went from sad that my dad was no longer at home, having no friends to elated and excited and happy in an instant! After about an hour my new buddy said hey I have another set of pads like these on my bike but at home if you want them for your bike. I of course said yes please and we joked how’d we’d be totally matching. He said ok let’s go get them at my place, we rode down to 136th and Powell Blvd, about 4 blocks away. I remember thinking how cool it was that he also lived in apartments like I did and I said to him man we even both live in apartments and we laughed, man we bonded in that 1/2 hour! I WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE MET HIM. When we got the parking lot he stopped his bike and turned to me with a serious look on his face and asked me to remain there at the entrance and asked me not to follow him, do not come to my apartment he asked. I told him ok I’ll be right here, didn’t think anything of it. Well shit man I was like 9 so I was gently and slowly watching the ground coasting around on my bike and unknowingly wound up on the side walk right at his apartment building, I seen his bike laying in front of the door so I stopped where the sidewalks crossed. I didn’t go to his apartment but I simply sat on my bar and waited a minute when all of the sudden his door opened! I was all excited “yeah baby we are gonna be so cool with matching pads tearing up the streets” I was imagining like we’re on motorcycles when out come his mom. In an instant I didn’t think anything bad, but few seconds later she began screaming and yelling at me. She screamed so loud calling me a disgusting ugly MF’ing white devil. She screamed at her son that she had warned him not to hang around or make friends with these f’ing ugly white MF’ers and she was done warning him. She turned back to me screaming every curse word you can imagine at me and kept adding devil at the end of each sentence. I was so scared and in shock and when I looked off to the side I could see 4 or 5 older black men sitting in lawn chairs on their back patio, not 1 of them spoke up for me or ask her to stop, they all just stared at me as they say there. She wouldn’t stop screaming and cursing me and I remember my heart beating harder than ever before, she said she was going to whip her son and teach him to stay away from white ugly nasty gross MF’ing devils, we both had tears coming down. It was awful. Again I was so young that I thought I better stay there and listen to her screaming at me as she was an adult till she finally told me get the F off her sidewalks and to get the f out of there you little ugly white devil MF’er. I flew out of there upset and crying. The entire complex heard that mom and nobody came out to stop her or help me. I knew then why he asked me to not follow him and I felt so guilty that I got him in trouble but I was feeling so confused and upset because I had never been through anything like that. Never experienced racism or any bigotry from any white people towards my light brown skinned family, who I’ll add only spoke Spanish when all arrived in cow poke redneck Scappoose in the mid 60’s. I never seen my new buddy again. Powell Blvd was the dividing line for schools so he went to another grade school. I remember learning this on first day of school few weeks later as I was so excited to see him, hoping and praying he would be in my class. I was so bummed out when he wasn’t there. I then learned about the dividing line and stupid Powell Blvd being the border. I remember vividly racing home all upset and running in to tell my mom what had happened when she looked at me sadly and simply,y gave me a hug and apologized to me for that mom and she simply,y said “beav just stay away and don’t go back, promise me you won’t and I’m so sorry that happened”. That was it! Just like that. I thought about him every day for weeks and weeks wondering how he was and did he really get a but whooping from his mom, I felt so bad. I to this day 43 yrs later think about him at least every couple months. I always wonder what happened to him and what is he up to today, how’s his life, does he have kids. I know for a fact he’d remember me and that beautiful day that got crushed, by hate, by deeply rooted hate. I know for a fact he and I would today still be best brothers, we bonded so well so perfectly in the hour. I say that because I had never met another friend and felt that way back then or since, 43 yrs later. My spiritual side tells me he and I go back many lives and he was there for me to experience that ugly moment in this life, as my bro and I will see him again in our next life. My entire point in retelling what happened to me is that today’s narrative doesn’t match reality. Few years later I experienced more racist hate, at the hands of Rufus, and black kid who loved bullying white kids. He even went as far as taking a push pin and stabbing white kids in the ass with it, anytime we all had to line up everybody was looking for Rufus to avoid him and he’d add insult to injury by saying shut up dumb cracker if you yelled in pain or at him when he got ya. He was tormenting prick. He didn’t stick other black kids, just white kids. He especially enjoyed poking Jeff the new guy who moved here from Australia. It was nuts. I hated the Portland Public Schools. Racism/hate/ignorance is not in our DNA it is taught in the home and in our community. White people don’t hate blacks. I’ve never met a white person who feels they’re above a black person, ever. Do different cultures make fun of other cultures they don’t know? Of course and so does the black culture and community, worse and more so than any other ethnic background and that’s a fact. Blows my mind also. I don’t get how blacks can feel so deeply as they do. Everything happens for a reason and look where blacks are today here, in America! The greatest country on earth with endless opportunities for ALL yet majority choose to allow history of slavery and simple culture clash to lord over everything and ruin everything constantly! It’s insanity. It’s nuts to me because if the majority of blacks would simply let go of the past and live and love in the present well then the universe couldn’t contain you. It’s incredible. I couldn’t fathom being immersed so deeply in the bottomless pools of hatred that I couldn’t escape it. I WOULD ESCAPE.
You’re talking about your experience with one person. You just got here to America in the 60’s. You can’t tell us nothing. Your little experience is nothing compared to well over 400 years of slavery, rape, murder, bigotry, red lining, Jim Crow, police brutality, police killings, church bombing, over 200 Black communities being bombed and destroyed by WHITE people. Discrimination in employment, housing, banking institutions. Inferior education, food, services. You are no qualified to speak on what we should do as a people. We will get over our trauma in this country and in this world as soon as we are paid what we are owed. As soon as other people get over the atrocious that were done to them. As soon as Americans get over 9/11. It was definitely unfortunate what happened to you as a child but using your own logic. Get over it and stop blaming all Black people for your little misfortune. You can’t even get over your little incident and you want us to get over our history. You and your people benefitted from all the hard work that Black did in this country. So shut the h-l up and Get Over it!
Black people shaped and influenced country, but they did not create it. It was a merging of several different cultures as is MOST MUSIC. Ffs, just stop…
Ummm yesss we did ! We started country from slavery . There is a whole documentary on this. This is history that white people hate and then lie . Why ??
You have no idea what you’re talking about. We all need to repent. We’re setting the record straight. It doesn’t matter if it’s Beyonce or any other Black music artist. Black people create country music. So what if she’s rich. Like her or not, she earned it. It’s not in support of Beyonce it’s in support of Black culture. Stop hating on the sister.
