that tweet is so dense with punctuation my head hurts ima go lay down see yall in a bit

Same thing as Hotline Bling winning a Grammy in the rap catagory

who said igor was rap?

Been known. If a black person makes it its automatically rap/r&b unless the label feels they can make more money marketing them as pop like LNX

won best rap album at the Grammys

raw 2AM thoughts

him and his label submitted it in the rap category

if igor isnt rap, does it count as apart of tyler's rap legacy?

5th read.

It's not racial.
And a lot of outlets acknowledged Tyler's 80s synthpop

This is the thing people always tend to ignore. Same happened to Biebs, if you get nominated in a category you can’t really go online and vent. You’re nominated to that specific category because you submitted/consider your sound is in that category

But..But Tyler does rap on Igor

e.g. Bieber does afrobeats and it's considered pop. Is it racial?

Nobody called Rebirth rap. Same goes for Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven. Awaken, My Love. Can go on.

Don't think many people called Igor a rap album either. Idk what he's on about.

Igor probably wouldn't get nominated if it wasn't in the rap category

tyler benefitted from his management labeling the album hip/hop. prolly got put on certain rap playlists which ran up the streams

i kinda understand tylers initial point tho

This same place still claims Blonde is a hip hop/rnb album tho.

That s*** is closer to McCartney and Bowie then Kanye and Neyo yet people see Frank’s black skin and just automatically assume his music has to come from a black genre.

his point was pretty fragile to begin with (in the context of the 2020 grammys)

If you're referring to that song w Burna Boy on his last album I still consider that pop tbh. Its just afrobeats flavored pop. And its just one track off the album

u jus namd 2 "rock" artst... dats a blck genre ... u cn say pop artst bt evn thn pop is pop n da mst pop sht on dis plnnt is nigga sht... bsclly dem flks trsh n racst... alsooo TDE rlly wnt da grammys 2 giv em dat strippe lol evn doe "dey dnt carre"

I was referring to a lot of songs on the Freedom - EP.
