Tyler the Creator calls out the Grammys on race

[MajesticLion]

 

[Barlow]

his album has contributions from Charlie wilson, lil uzi vert, solange, kanye, ASAP Rocky, playboy carti, Pharrell, cee-lo

his performance last night featured Charlie wilson and Boyz II Men

his group odd future that he started back in the day is entirely comprised of black musicians who have gone on to bigger careers as well (earl, Frank ocean, syd, the internet, etc)

It’s the coli breh. Logic doesn’t work here

there’s literally a nikka in the thread who said he’s never listened to him but is now making retarded statements as if he has

 

[Barlow]

Also proud of Tyler’s maturity and development.

And what he said is entirely right. Everything gets dumped in the “rap/urban” sector despite the fact some of these guys are branching out to do special things in unique genres. It’s just a way for cacs to keep them from dominating other genres.

the same reason they hated lil nas x being country.
Also y’all gotta stop acting like rap is the only “black genre”. One day y’all hate rap and think it’s the devil, the next day it’s our entire life blood.

 

[poprocks]

He got a point but

can’t take him too serious..
I’m just saying*OJ Simpson voice*

i know it’s grammys but why is he dressed like this

 

[get these nets]

who gives a fukk

Spoiler

about a gotdamned Grammy

?

 

[Monoblock]

He told no lies and spoke the truth. Why yall giving him a hard time? His album was not a rap album and hardly any rapping was on it.

only N here is the one you see in the mirror

he's not the first artist to speak about music categories when it comes to charts or awards

fact that you think that this is some novel idea, points to your lack of knowledge about music history

fukk tyler the weirdo

 

[Easy-E]

Ahh hell naw

And it was just that shirt and hat.

I don't wanna post the damn clothing line.

But, fukk his observations on race. And really hearing what he's sayin'; my album wasn't a rap album.

It wasn't shyt for black people.

Who said he was the first? I said he was right.

the only one lacking knowledge and speaking out of his ass here is you

 

[DaPresident]

Tyler had a mean ass album man...I definitely thought it was album of the year

 

[Michael's Black Son]

he's a problematic moron that said he don't care if white folks call him n*gg*r SMH.... but putting that aside i actually agree with this somewhat

despite being a rapper IGOR ain't no damn rap album, he doesn't even rhyme until about 7 tracks in and it's minimal at best. it should have been classified as a pop album

this. Tyler needs to decide what side of the tracks he wants to be on because his buckdancing moments have him looking very suspect.

but he’s very right about how these CACs categorize his music and black music in general. IGOR is a great album but definitely not a rap album just like 808s wasn’t. Barely any rapping on IGOR but they don’t dare let a potentially crazy Negro get even a droplet of that Taylor Swift type of shine since he’s so damn unpredictable

big facts

 

[Izanami]

He spoke the truth but a Nicki was pointing this out years ago with the urban category.


Trust me when I say this if Billie Eilish was black she wouldn’t have won any of those awards.

 

[Max.]

Didnt win one till he started being a homo

 

[BlackDiBiase]

when beyonce and eminem have the record for most grammys two veterans of frisbee music. then you know why no one of any real note cares or goes to those events.

the woman already came out saying its fixed and depends on the label&team.
