    What genre is Igor, Blonde, 17? I always think these discussions go in circles because no one can define what genre we can label the music let alone the artists that make them

    How? You kept asking if Post Malone a rapper. My question is if you think Childish Gambino is a actor?

    Yes he is an actor just like kid cudi is an actor.

    Facts bro It's like saying Drake is just a rapper when he's both a rap artist and popstar. X, Gambino, MGK, Post Malone, Chris Brown, and many other artists wear a ton of different hats and you can't call any of them just one type of artist. Calling Doja just a popstar is like saying Donald Glover is only an actor and can't be considered a rapper

    First of all, there are genre labels for a reason.

    Second of all, the Childish Gambino example is horrible.

    As "Doja Cat" does she have RAP SONGS/RAP ALBUMS? I'm not talking songs she made in her bedroom 10 years ago before she made her mainstream debut.

    Take Lizzo for example: her early albums have her rapping a lot more than she sang but over her last 2 albums, she began singing a lot more and basically ditched the rapper label even though she still raps in her songs. Notice how no one calls her a rapper?

    It’s been a whole day and they still don’t understand this

    The point is that culturally, he isn't a rap artist. He's an R&B singer who raps on songs sometimes. That's what you don't seem to be getting.

    This whole debate is really simple to understand. Can Doja Cat rap? Absolutely. Is she a rap artist? F*** no. Is it possible to have several songs of you rapping and still not be regarded as a rap artist? Absolutely.

    yes obviously

    being a rapper vs. a singer is not a binary

    both can be true at once and are true for many artists

    Chris Brown is not a rapper what are y’all talking about

    Yes genre labels exist but you have to know how to use them. It's not only one for each movie, album, book, etc yall don't understand you can use multiple at a time and they all are true. Is Get Out a horror or mystery film? Both are right

    Bro what

    I’ve never heard anyone describe Get Out as a mystery

    It’s a horror movie with comedic elements

    Same way Doja Cat is a pop singer who incorporates rap elements into her music

    And Eminem, Drake, Kanye. All of them are actors because they can act. Now do you understand the point?

    This point is awful and it’s a false equivalency.

    I wouldn’t call that a mystery, and I’ve never heard anyone call it that either.

    Yeah the plot unfolds to you slowly over the course of the film, but that doesn’t make it a mystery

    Drake started as an actor but I wouldn't still call him an actor 💀💀

    Eminem and Kanye were only in movies because they were famous rappers.

    His actor example doesn’t even make any sense in relation to this discussion

    Bro it's simple. Drake is an actor AND a rapper. People can be two things at the same time. I don't know how to explain that better

    No, this entire example makes no sense.

    Your argument is basically saying “well, Doja does rap sometimes, so that makes her a rapper”. That’s not what we’re saying.

    We’re saying she DOES rap, she IS capable of rapping, and she HAS songs where she’s rapping on them, but that DOESN’T make her a rap artist.

    In the same way that Drake has several dancehall songs, but Drake is not a dancehall artist.

    In the same way that Lil Wayne released Rebirth, but Lil Wayne is not a rock artist.

    In the same way that Young Thug has Beautiful Thugger Girls, but Young Thug is not a country artist.

    How long do you get to say you are something? If you were in a high school play what year do you stop saying you are an actor?

    No, that dude’s actor equivalency was terrible and has no correlation to this conversation. No one is arguing that Donald Glover isn’t an actor
