After the Recording Academy removed the term “urban” from its awards categories, Latin music professionals are left wondering if “urbano” will be next
have shown that support has been to retire the word “urban,” denouncing the term as a catch-all word used to segregate black artists.
“It sucks that whenever we — and I mean guys that look like me — do anything that’s genre-bending or that’s anything, they always put it in a rap or urban category,”, won the Grammy for Best Rap Album. “I don’t like that ‘urban’ word. That’s just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me. When I hear that, I think, ‘Why can’t we just be in pop?'”
The Recording Academy announced on Wednesday that it would rename its “Best Urban Contemporary Album” category at the Grammys, which has been newly christened as “Progressive R&B.” Still, the Grammys will continue to use “Urban” in thefield, where “Best Latin Pop Or Urban Album” remains untouched.
