Tyler, the Creator wins Grammy for best rap album
The Recording Academy is under fire after the ouster of Grammys chief Deborah Dugan. You wouldn’t know that from watching the telecast.
The artist, born in Ladera Heights as Tyler Okonma, got the gold for his fifth studio album, an expansive, experimental rap and R&B record that many argued barely fit in the category. “Igor” was victorious against Meek Mill’s “Championships,” the Dreamville collective’s “Revenge of the Dreamers III,” “I Am > I Was” by 21 Savage and “The Lost Boy” by a YBN Cordae.
On “Igor” tracks and videos including “Earfquake,” “A Boy Is A Gun” and “Puppet,” Tyler, the Creator took on the persona of the title character: a well-dressed, sublimely confident dude with a ridiculous, Beatlesque blond bowl cut.The rap album win, Tyler’s first after being nominated two other times , will probably placate his devoted fan base, many of whom expressed outrage online after the critically acclaimed “Igor” was shut out of the album of the year category.
