After years of well-deserved criticism, the Grammy Awards is finally dropping the term “Urban” from their category and language is it’s become the latest institution to make some sort of change to keep from offending or categorizing the Black community.

The move comes months after Tyler, The Creator called his Grammy win in the “Urban” category a “backhanded compliment” saying that “Urban” was just a polite way of saying the “N word.”

The comment must’ve hit a nerve with the Interim President of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr. as he said “We’re constantly evaluating our Awards process and evolving it to ensure the Grammy Awards are inclusive and reflect the current state of the music industry.”
