Literally, Iggy Azalea cannot win (aside from the fact she’s making CRAZY amounts of money and has numerous hit songs topping the charts.) The African-American Hip-Hop community just cannot seem to accept Iggy and her Australian femcee rappin’ ways. Recently, Q-Tip went off on a two hour rant via his Twitter page to “school” Iggy on Hip-Hop. This caused Iggy’s Hustle Gang label’s head honcho T.I. to get involved and to run to her aid. Shortly after, artists such as Lupe Fiasco and will.i.am also jumped on Twitter and added their two cents in on how Iggy DOES have a place in Hip-Hop and that race shouldn’t matter anymore in 2014.
Being that Lupe is known for his extremely..um… strong views on black power and so on, his mentions were being LIT UP for running to the “Fancy” rapper’s defense. He wasted no time to clap back at the haters and give them a taste of how he feels regarding black consciousness. Let’s just say sh*t got REAL, REAL QUICK! Azalea Banks has yet to chime in adding her two cents about all of the drama regarding Iggy but I’m sure she will anyyyyyyy second now. Check out the drama-filled tweets over in the gallery. Do you think Iggy Azalea has a place in Hip-Hop? Or are people just hating on the Auzzie artist because she’s a white girl in a predominately black field? Drop your comments below.
So not true race does matter in 2014. She is disrespectful towards black culture and people and we don’t have to accept it.
disrespecful in what ways? Nothing she has said is patronizing in anyway. Ya’ll niggas is trippin *Russell Westbrook Voice
How is she disrespectful towards black culture because she raps and race doesnt matter in 2014 the only one who make it matter are blacks there selves u think its ok to use reverse racism because ur black it makes u just as sick and disgusting as any other race that is racist because a white cop killed a black man like that only happens to.black men only people who.believe that are closed minded ignorant fool pick up a book and read stop blaming society for ur problems grow up you didnt live through nothing your ancesters did blacks have the same right as anybody else not anybody fault but your own if u dont take avantage of that !!smh dumb mfers
It is because she is white and dating a black man not because she is being disrespectful but people this is 2014 we are all the same …… Point ….And she is a great rapper and has won awards and will continue to win them …..
Look people she not winning in the real hip hop culture true hip hop… Her fans seem to be suburban white teens..not so much the black or urban teens.. She walked right by fans wanting autographs.. When they boo her she give the them the middle finger.. That’s goes to show you how she really thinks.. She don’t care about her fans at all she’s only in it for the money.. If all her fans where there that day she would have said fuck all of them…it’s not going to take long for people to see her truth..she just playing a game right now and it will end soo..and Lupe fiasco is a nut job anyway would never take advice or listen to him talk..
