The new interpretation of the Best Melodic Rap Performance category by the Grammys should’ve opened the door for artists who’ve been looked over because they lacked the traditional Hip-Hop sound. One would think the Grammys would find a newfound appreciation for artists who toe the line between Hip-Hop and genres such as R&B or Gospel while still maintaining both feet firmly in the Hip-Hop genre like Lil Durk or Rod Wave. Artists who don’t quite fit in any boxes but transcend genres in an act of music rebellion that combine Hip-Hop with outside genres to create beautiful music. However, artists who fit the profile of what I just described are still being looked over by the Grammys in favor of their interpretation of Hip-Hop that is littered with misconceptions.
