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
The song was already categorized as hiphop. Due to that, it was already charted on hiphop charts and is considered a hiphop song, not R&B so it’s submitted to hiphop categories. I get their complaints, but they should have made sure their music was categorized correctly on release

I guess that's why he came out and said this s*** about not being Hip Hop then? I mean the only hip hop aspect is elements of the production but that's about it lol. Not his fault that the charts put him in these categories

I think million dollar baby is a hiphop song and that’s why he released it that way, but because of that being his biggest song, people think he’s a hiphop artist so he was getting ahead of it and it blew up in his face

how is it a hip hop song if he doesn't rap
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
Black music isn’t just hip hop bruh
What the hell?
Never got the hype for this dude
Album sounded like TikTok ass music
No soul or substance
His last album is pretty great imo. Don’t like how he’s tryna denounce hip hop but his music is definitely r&b & funk he doesn’t rap
how is it a hip hop song if he doesn't rap
Badu, Lauren Hill and Mary J are considered Hip-Hop so there are exceptions
Lauren being more hybrid since she does rap and sing
The insulting part of this is dude was quick to denounce hip-hop rather than embracing it

The grammys can move the song to a different category it should be in the pop category tbh.

The artists themeselves are but they are also singers idk about Erykah though.

That confuses audiences since the song was distributed as hiphop. Same way Lil Nas X put his song on streaming as country and it created controversy when it was moved to hiphop. If you want it in that category, then get your label to make sure the distributor releases it in that genre
how come people let him slip thru all the cracks on here lol. first its 'obviously hes not a rapper this is very obvious its obvious' then its 'he meant a different thing he didnt say what he said' then its 'oh its his team its not him its his team' like whats the end benefit of doing this over a cracker whos gonna drop this side of his fanbase the moment those pop country features start returning calls? you know you can like the song and still call him an appropriating piece of s***? hes not gonna stop making music if you do lol its his job
He’s gonna be making country music in 3 years
hes making country music as we speak its just not out. watch him getting on with posty on their 'anti-hater' alt-pop-rap s***
Black music isn’t just hip hop bruh
What the hell?
quote me where i said / implied that internet buddy
Dang you brought me back to early ktt2 with that
im still around but not as much lol

You can’t be this goddamn obtuse
He got the worst team imaginable between this and not putting his singles on the album lmao.
