But there were signs of progress when Tyler, The Creator walked away with this year's Best Rap Album award.<br /> <br /> Tyler's IGOR undoubtedly deserved to be awarded a Grammy with the amount of praise it received upon its release. Yet, Tyler feels like describing the genre-blending project as a Rap/Urban album is merely the Recording Academy's way of pigeon-holing black artists.<br /> <br /> "I'm half-and-half on it," Tyler said when asked about winning the award. "On one side I'm just grateful that what I made could be acknowledged in a world like this. But also it sucks that whenever we—and I mean guys that look like me—do anything that's genre-bending or anything they always put it in a Rap or Urban category." tag:trueskool.com,2013-12-10:1464587:Video:283251 2013-12-10T23:27:38.456Z Staff Pick http://trueskool.com/profile/Ren
