      if you really think about it, they keep "urban" music and pop separated too allow "urban" music to constantly be disrespected and over generalized by others who arent "urban". specifically Pop Artist who critique Hip hop. a good example is Post Malone and Billie, POP Artists critiquing and putting down Hip Hop aka Urban music WHILE using aspects of urban music and style. so if you allow Black POP artist into the POP space, well frankly it would be difficult for people to bash them for their "Urban" style of Music, when Urban music today is POP music. Hip Hop or "Urban" music has influenced POP music yet people cant see that. plus their would be a lot of Black artist winning POP music, and rich white people dont like that type of Competition.

    It feels like the Grammys is a-for lack of a better term-"Boomers show". Or old people who are so caught in their ways they still use terms like "urban" and think all black artists are rappers and cant possibly do anything else. I hope they atleast drop that category in the future.
    Also this reminds me of how Tyler had to defend himself from being put in a box beforehand when people said he was nothing but "horrorcore", and he evidently broke away from that. Imagine calling Igor 'horrorcore' lmao. But point is Tyler has always spoke out about being unfairly judged by his music.

      Kanye is the majority of the time right, he just lacks the vocabulary for some of his points and has flawed ways of making his points.
      He wanted to make a point of how black people were slaves to the voting system and wanted to change that but went about it the wrong way (MAGA hat and Slavery comments).
      If people gave Kanye a second listen and empathy, they'd realise his points are completely valid.

      So many artists who aren't classified as rappers sometimes rap. Especially in pop and even in punk/pop punk, most of it today. Pop artists who have never rapped before are rapping in their new albums today, but we don't see every single pop artist being shoved into the "uRbAn/rAp" category. I wouldn't call Igor pop though. I thought about alternative but that's just kinda a lable for a sound that doesn't fit anywhere, which I feel invalidates the album as a whole. But it's DEFINITELY not urban lmao.

      I honestly feel like music award shows should just stop and end as a whole, forever. Because I don't think it'll ever be fair or make sense. Of course it's nice to win an award on your talent but not when it's fake and rigged.

  • @N00bSIayer
    @N00bSIayer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Igor is most definitely Neo-Soul and funk, but it is without a doubt hip-hop still. People keep down playing the amount of rapping on IGOR for some reason. 8 out of the 11 songs (not including EXACTLY WHAT U RUN FROM U END UP CHASING) feature Tyler or guest artists rapping. It’s hip hop, with many other influences. Would have loved seeing it in other category’s tho that it deserved to be in.

  • @bradyorourke6202
    @bradyorourke6202 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Volksgeist, the 'urban' actually derives from radio in the 1970's classification of it. The Grammys didn't invent or create the term but radio stations that played in metropolitan area did (such as Quiet Storm subgenre in Washington DC). Here's a link to read more on the topic: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_contemporary
