The NYT headline calls him a “Hip-Hop Rapper.” Are there any other kinds of rappers?

I think the problem was the already existing hyphen in “hip-hop,” combined with the headline writer’s inflexible sense of what modifiers were necessary in the headline.
Or maybe “Southern hip-hop artist” was too short to fit the print-headline box. “Southern rapper” certainly was.
In any case, yeah, it’s lame.
