I feel this is fake outrage too...
He talking strictly about the Grammy awards and receiving an award for songs that were clearly not rap. He is pointing out the injustice to actual rap songs that did not receive the awards he won and pointing out that the ? racist and doesn't cater to our culture.
Drake, Jidenna, Tory Lanz etc are not and have never been rap artists. They are part of the culture that evolved from rap and if you listen to the full interview he was highlighting the reasons why our culture should not put stock into the Grammys.
I hate you ? for making me defend this ? .
I find this hard to believe -
Damn they took that all out of context from what he said in the actual interview

Bruh said what many voices in the Reason have said over the yrs, he ain't a rapper. Doesn't wanna be a rapper. Came in the game as a rapper cause it's really the easiest genre to break into.
No reason for his fans to continue to pigeonhole him as a rapper, let him be the Pop Star the world needs.

This is how I took it. -

‘Hotline Bling’ is not a rap song
he's not wrong thereI’m apparently a rapper
because you rap, ? ...“The only category that they can manage to fit me in is in a rap category, maybe because I’ve rapped in the past...."
and present. bingo“I won two awards but I don’t even want them because it feels weird to me"
seems like he doesnt have a problem with the grammys, rather having an issue being excluded from categories outside of rap. which is weird, because im certain he labeled himself the best rapper once upon a time. claiming these other rappers aren't touching him. now he's not a rapper
must be two sides -
A pop record won a rap award.
That is outrage.
He makes pop albums but does rap, pop and "hood techno" features -
This is so stupid. If you don't want to be called a rapper, STOP ? RAPPING! This is the problem with these dudes who want to have rap songs, r&b songs, and pop songs on the same damn album. Pick one and stick to it! Drake was ok with being called a rapper when he was on the come up. He was ok being called a rapper when he blew up on mix tapes and on his first album. Why not now? First world problems ass dude lol.

Think of the Naughty by Nature member that was cool with Pac, take the letter T off his name, and you get what you did here fam -
So what? Is the pop Grammy made out of solid gold?
It's his fault for thinking he needs an award to validate his artistry. Drake is the biggest artist in the world and his fans cling to everything he drops. That should be validation enough.
However he is correct. Hotline isn't a rap song and should be in the "pop" category. But if he is making music solely to get a award then I'm glad he didn't win.
Drake should stop rapping if he doesn't want to be recognized as a rapper. That's the problem he and many others have is that they look down on rap as if it's the lowest form of music. -
“I’m a black artist, I’m apparently a rapper, even though ‘Hotline Bling’ is not a rap song,” Drake, who rarely gives interviews, said on his weekend show on Apple’s Beats 1 radio. Drake “The only category that they can manage to fit me in is in a rap category, maybe because I’ve rapped in the past or because I’m black,”
He's right about that quote.
I wish they would boot him and all these other singin' ass negros out of the rap category.

Times are changing. Wasn't that long ago a rapper would be offended when you called them pop even if they made the most pop ? known to man
-
I wonder if he's willing to give back his Best rap album for take care also
-
Sales wise he is bigger than rap. Talent wise? Well even the least talented singers in pop history can sing much better than he can. He also can't dance or play an instrument that could add to going to a live show.
-
Drake the nicest ? on the Mike right now. Drake bodied every ? he's featured on. Aint an emcee right now that can go toe to toe wit drake other than styles P, and that's only cause of the content. Drake would body kiss, budden, banks, JayZ, and Nas on wax
Get mad -
LOL y'all blowing this ? Wayyy outta proportion...
Drake saying if he Makes a Pop song and it blows as a Pop song also, why doesn't he get nominated for the Pop Category.???
That's what he was speaking on when he brought up the Racial thing w/ the Grammys.
He's a Black Artist who's KNOWN for rapping so they only Box him into the Rap categories. Instead of actually Categorizing the Songs/Nominations Correctly, they Keep him in One area only.
He's Saying that he's MORE than just a Rapper,
he makes R&B, Pop, and Carribean influenced music also. He wants to Cross Genres and there's nothing wrong w/ that. He want's to show he's not One-Dimensional.
Yes, he broke out as a Rap Artist, but simultaneously...also was singing .
So why are y'all acting like what he's doing is new when he did that same ? from Jump.???
I wouldn't care much for my ? either if I'm making all this Different type of Music & turn them into Megahits,
and you only care to Give me the Award that's Specifically for Blacks...the ? isn't Fair. -
That interview also confirmed him as a leech... culture vulture stealing muhfucka
He is Jewish. -
Got to love these ? ass ? that come up off of Hip Hop and Black music only to turn around and denounce the ? .. FOH cornball ass.
-
Drake is not beating these other pop acts. He better keep doing what he's doing and ? . People been out here questioning him getting rap awards for years and he says this? Ok my dude.

Take Drake out of the equation and there's a White rapper who's won a Grammy for every album he's put out bar one... #supremacy
And Drake saying he wants to be recognised as a pop artiste is laughable 'cos he actually did enter into the music business as a rapper. So now it's like he used HipHop music like a ? and now wants to dump H. E. R.

Lol dawg so you saying when Drake came out he wasn't Rapping AND Singing R&B ? at the Same time. ???
Look at the Comeback Season cover...that ? got R&B ? written all over it.
From his Entry into the Music game he wasn't Strictly just a Rap artist...he didnt even say He wants to be recognized as a Pop ARTIST...it was just a Pop SONG he wanted it to be recognized as...
And please don't use that "H.E.R." ? lol
? you act like he doesn't even Rap anymore...man been rapping consistently throughout the years ALONGSIDE his Cross-genre music...? ain't pimped ? ...the ? is a Mulit-dimensional artist, point blank.
I don't see why y'all tryna over complicate ? when it's simple af to understand.... -
Bruh... leave all the 'multi-dimensional artiste' labels alone. Drake is a Jew, has a White Jewish producer too... everything is clicking into place
He went with Dancehall influences in his last album: word to Mr. Vegas. What genre is he gonna rip off for his next one? Grime. He been frolicking with Grime artistes in London for the last couple of years
