Tyler, The Creator calls out the #Grammys on their racism when it comes to music genres /rzWe2lR3xO- Odd Future Fans January 27, 2020 “Half of me feels like the rap album nomination is like a backhanded compliment.” “I don’t like that urban word, it’s just a politically correct way to say the N-word,” he added. His response got even more heated when he argued the word “urban” is highly problematic. “On one side, I’m very grateful that what I make can just be acknowledged in the world like this, but also it sucks that whenever we-and I mean guys that look like me-do anything that’s genre-bending… They always put it in a rapper/urban category,” he said in an interview after the show. It’s just a politically correct way to say the n-word.”Īdded the first-time winner, whose memorable Grammy performance earlier in the night lit up social media: “To me, when I hear that, I’m like, ‘Why can’t we just be put in pop?’ Half of me feels like the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment, like, ‘Oh my little cousin wants to play the game, let’s give him the unplugged controller so he can shut up and feel good about it.’ But another half of me is very grateful that the art that I made could be acknowledged on a level like this.Tyler the Creator received an award for best rap album at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night but expressed torn feelings about his win.
