hip hop isnt about sound its about subject matter, attitude, and MARKETING

u cant really say hip hop is based off sound bc, hip hop today sounds different 10/20/30 years ago

going out of your way to say "i'm not a rapper, im a singer actually" is just a nicer way to say "i'm making music, not black music"

u can argue i'm assuming, and i'd even agree with you, but this isnt a new phenomenon

His label saw his tweet and said

I don't think he reached that Convo yet during that time, but like what you said when he went completely Pop-centric around 06 with Release Therapy and cut off the Fro.

It hurt his chances by a long shot, because people by then thought he sold completely out.

Luda is one of the few rappers that could've went into the GOAT Convo, if he had taken a different direction in his rap career. People forgot how much of a good lyricist he is.

@Lmfao be trying too hard with his b**** ass 💀

fraud speedrunning his career

Damn near all modern music is “black music”

Bro music is terrible by the way. Regardless of whether he's a rapper or not.

I might have to take his spot then lmfaooo

my guess is what seemed like a random tweet was when he found out it was submitted that way and he jumped out the window bc he didn’t want his music under rap

what’s funny is the Tyler speech about IGOR getting placed under rap and not pop was championed and this s*** might be a stain on this guy’s career

Probably bc Tyler is Black and Tommy Rich isn’t

yall turned on him so quickly lol

the combo of that and Tyler took the time to word it right and say it in an interview vs a seemingly off the cuff tweet

Never got the hype for this dude

Album sounded like TikTok ass music

No soul or substance

No one cares about this guy

Unsubmit ur s*** then biotch

Tommy Richman hate

I got no beef with the guy but claiming they're not rap only to submit to a rap category for awards is some sucka s***

Niggas debated like hell that Tommy wasn’t a rapper

Now look

Bro needs to just let the music do the talking lol

I guess he thinks that he'd have a better shot winning in this category vs R&B? Still a very odd choice. He's basically Brent Faiyaz Lite and I'd never consider Brent Rap

Full mask off within a few months? Couldn't even honey d*** us for a few years like Post Malone?
