Tyler, the Creator says 'Igor' win for Best Rap Album feels like a 'backhanded compliment.'
Tyler, the Creator attends the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center on Jan. 26, 2020 in Los Angeles.Tyler, the Creator was obviously excited to win his very first Grammy on Sunday night, taking homeand giving a jubilant acceptance speech flanked by his sobbing mom and his Odd Future compatriot Jasper Dolphin. But minutes later, he admitted to reporters backstage that he'd love to break out of those rap or urban categories and be recognized on a more mainstream level.
"I'm half and half on it," he said, responding to a question about the Grammy voting process being called into question over the past week, thanks in part to a high-profile lawsuit filed by ousted Recording Academy chief Deb Dugan, and how he feels about it. "On one side, I'm very grateful that what I made could just be acknowledged in a world like this.
"Half of me feels like the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment," he continued. "Like, 'Oh, my little cousin wants to play the game, let's give him an unplugged controller so he can shut up and feel good about it.' That's what it felt like a bit. Another half of me is very grateful that my art can be acknowledged on a level like this when I don't do the radio stuff. I'm not played in Target.
