Grammys 2020: Best fashion on the red carpet

Frank Ocean and Kanye West, who have both worked in a range of genres including gospel, pop and R&B, have boycotted the awards in recent years because of perceived racial bias. Tyler is not the first black artist to suggest that the Grammys fail to acknowledge era-defining black artists. Let’s give him the unplugged controller so he can shut up and feel good about it - that’s what it felt like a bit.” Like, my little cousin wants to play the game. He said: “When I hear that, I’m just like why can’t we be in pop? Half of me feels like the rap nomination was just a backhanded compliment. Tyler, The Creator calls out the #Grammys on their racism when it comes to music genres /rzWe2lR3xO- Odd Future Fans January 27, 2020 The prolific producer and vocalist also called out the Grammys for their treatment of black artists, adding that he would love to be recognized on a more mainstream level and not forever pigeonholed in “urban” categories. I don’t like that ‘urban’ word - it’s just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me,” he said. “It sucks that whenever we - and I mean guys that look like me - do anything that’s genre-bending or that’s anything they always put it in a rap or urban category. He admitted that while he was “very grateful” for his win, the categorizing of his music as rap is a “backhanded compliment.”

I love when an album works well as a body of work rather than a collection of singles, and IGOR epitomises that approach to albums. The artist’s fifth studio album, Igor, which was released in 2019, is now a platinum. It seems that Tyler, the Creator cannot be stopped. IGOR sounds like the work of a perfectionist giving shape to his more radical ideas. Tyler produces the whole thing and he's done a fantastic job, it's a really nice album musically. The album also granted the rapper his first Grammy Award. IGOR, the 28-year-old’s sixth full-length, is Tyler finally content in the face of all that agony. Sonically the album draws heavily on synth and soul inspirations and there is really cohesive feel to the album. Igor is a very concept-heavy album, which requires most song to be listened to in the context of the album to be the most enjoyable. At the start of the album you have happy sounding songs such as Earfquake and I Think, but as the situation deteriorates the songs become less happy, and IGOR becomes more possessive and desperate, culminating in a break up on 'What's Good?', and the final song 'Are We Still Friends?' IGOR tells a story, from start to finish, of a love triangle between IGOR/Tyler, an unnamed boy, and the boys ex-girlfriend. Tyler asked his audience to listen to the album as a whole, and with good reason. The sound and the visuals were immediately captivating so listened to a few more tracks, and before long I was hooked. I was aware of a few of his earlier tracks, and knew he was a talented artist, but a lot of his older content wasn't really for me (although it certainly would have been for the teenage me!) I only listened to this album after stumbling across the video of A Boy Is A Gun* on YouTube. I'm what you might call a 'new Tyler fan'.
