"Tyler the creator won a Grammy for rap album of the year over Nas, Drake, Kanye West, and J.Cole. That doesn't make sense lol. All four mentioned are legends in they own right. But Tyler the Creator? Hip Hop is dead," one person wrote on X.
"Tyler didn't deserve it," another complained.
"Tyler’s flows and storytelling really shined on this album. But sonically I really enjoy Donda more," someone else said in favor of Kanye West's Donda album.
"Tyler the creator dominated but I think Kanye West deserved it," a fourth echoed.
