Understanding this quote
The speaker compares mislabeling music to judging an artist by a broad association instead of what they actually do. Calling Nas an R&B singer simply because he is American, or Whitney Houston a rapper because rap is currently popular, ignores their distinct styles. The comparison suggests that popularity or background alone does not determine an artist’s true category.
