Partial transcript as follows:
WALLACE: So this spring, Beyonce tore up the charts. Cowboy Carter was a huge hit. How big was that?
RUCKER: Huge. It was so big. I mean, I can’t express enough how big what she did was because she brought so many eyes to the to the genre. You know, one of the things I love about what Beyonce did is when I started making country music and having hits I’d have African American women and men come up to me and go I love country music. I could never say it until now you’re playing and I can say it you know and she brought I think even more eyes to the to the genre and more people looking at it and more black people going alright man, I like country music and that’s, I always say I want country music to look more like America and I think she did a lot to make it go that way.
WALLACE: A couple of years ago, you wrote that country music still had the stigma of rebel flags and racism.
RUCKER: It’s still around, you know, it’s still these you still see it some places and I don’t think that’s I don’t think that’s ever going to go away. I mean, it’s still, it’s still there. It’s not as prevalent as it was. It’s not, it’s not the majority of country music, but it’s still there.
WALLACE: Still, a couple of years ago, you still think it’s there?
RUCKER: It’s still there because it’s still in America. It’s still part of America, the American. What we what we know is America so yeah, pretty sure it’s still there.
