Boom.
Boom.
Iggy has been disresepctful of the craft and culture of Hip-Hop. You're weclome to disagree, but your dissension doesn't make Azealia Banks "misinformed."
Ebro has expressed enough questionable views himself to disqualify him as an objective source to put her up on game.
Yes, MC Hammer was indeed linked to the propagation of White supremacy via "buck dancing" during an era of much civil injustice and our community under siege of drugs/crime/violence. The same way race/racism was factored into the criticism of him, is how it's being factored into the criticism of Iggy, but Iggy feels above reproach. She wants the acceptance of Black people, without any of the scrutiny of Black people. Which is a privilege even Black artists do not have.
It's not just "cultural," because she's not the first or only artist from another culture that's hit the scene in the US and made strides as a Hip-Hop artist. John Legend signed Estelle and she was accepted, despite being "the British Lauryn Hill." She did not get the same scrutiny as Iggy. It's not just cultural.
TI himself propped her up as being her own boss and called himself a just her "coe-lab-oar-ay-tour" in his bamallectual accent. Whether that's true or not, he and she were the ones who put that out there.
Nonsense. It's all relative. People can walk and chew gum at the same time, bruh. They don't have to choose between being troubled by serious social issues or interested in pop culture issues, especially when the two overlap. You seem more butthurt about people being allegedly butthurt over Iggy than the people who are allegedly butthurt over Iggy. Relax. All I'm trying to tell you is that although in it's own context it is relative to serious issue, it's not that serious, b.
Well, for someone who's not all worked up, it's odd that you would assume I am, despite you having more commentary in this thread than the OP. If it matters that much to you (which your participation seems to indicate), there's no shame in that. I don't assume you're losing any sleep over it, but it's clearly something you will be talking about next year if it comes up next year, just like you're talking about it right now that it's come up. That's not my prediction, that's just an observation based on your actual actions... but I digress: what Iggy is going through is par for the course in Hip-Hop. Her tantrum and TI's two-step won't change that.
