How the subject classifies himself

Post doesn't classify himself as a rapper, so let's not call him that.

[1] 3:16-3:32 "I just make the music that I like. And I don't even classify myself to be a rapper, I classify myself to be more of a artist. I'm not just rapping, on the new album I play guitar, I do rock stuff, it's just different."

[2] 0:42-0:50 "I'm not a rapper. I'm a artist. I don't make rap music. I might rap, but I don't make rap music. I just make whatever I like."

I think it's best to call him a "recording artist" and then classify his music into the appropriate genre. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 00:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
