in her videos she is DEFINITELY putting on an act that borders on racist blackface stereotypes If she was just being HERself then she could make her music and get more respect while still getting a fan base... as of now, a lot of people are just watching her cause she's a gimmick, and is creating a "stir" of controversy... it's not her art, cause what she does IS NOT art... of course Nicki Minaj isn't making "art" with her music either
supercross junkie and the digital sensitive folks again can't deal with someone having a different opinion without throwing out insults... *sigh* ... but hey if that's fun for you... do what u do. Peace.
***** thanks love :-) I appreciate that a regular person came by to comment. Some folks can act so crazy online... truth is, if people knew the person they were insulting online, they would know their comments were ignorant.
+stay1ify Iggy and TI just bring a much more lighthearted energy and therefore it is easier to kick back and laugh in their presence. Banks brings a heavier emotionality which sets the tone for a more serious conversation. After watching the interview with Banks, there is NO QUESTION that Rosenberg and Laura favor Banks on a personal level and both seem to agree with her opinions on the industry. Don't mistake the entertainment of easy, superfluous convo for "favor." They're just doing their jobs here.
+Keyser Soeze I would have taken her more seriously had she started crying in front of me. So would most of the people I know... thankfully. Guess I'm fortunate to be a part of a supportive, compassionate community of artists and free-thinkers.
Iggy is not wack to me. She does need improvement on her delivery and flow though. But its not the worst Ive heard. What alot of u refer to as wack u support in rappers like Young Thug and Trinidad James and I feel Iggy is at least better than that. Some people aren't willing to give her chance because she's a female and she's white.
LIL KIM need to come out of retirement and shut the game BACK DOWN. All these gimmick rappers with NO originality... when things go mainstream.... the quality suffers and that is what has KILLED HIP-HOP.
***** Hahah no originality?, you have to kidding, this Iggy is a genius as is a lot of the new rappers. Your statement is ridiculous, oh wow you must be, though I guess we all have our own opinions. ;)
I agree with Iggy. I hate the fact that there's this feeling of "There can only be one relevant, dope female rapper in the game at one time." It's stupid and pointless. Nicki Minaj is a great rapper. I like Iggy's song "Fancy" as well. I think she could be great too. I'd love to hear a colab. But WHYYYY do people make it seem like if Iggy starts popping then Nicki wont be popular anymore? Male rappers don't lose their fan base when a new male rapper comes on the scene. It's crazy....
I feel so bad for Iggy just because you can see she holds so much back and is passive aggressive on purpose but I can just see it on her face that she wants to scream everytime they allude to a white girl in rap being weird. And honestly? I want her to fucking explode on them just once because maybe the hip hop world will then lighten the hell up. Telling someone they aren't allowed or cut out to do what they dream of just isn't right and if isn't fair, no matter what their skin color or their accent. Iggy openly admits to rapping in an ACCENT. She studied rap under TI for YEARS and that's how she became accustomed to rapping. Why can't people get that through their heads? You do realize some of the most popular artists - Rihanna, Adele, One Direction - all sing in American ACCENTS, right? But they don't get heat for it. It's bullshit, it's trashy, and it's stupid. I think Iggy brings TI along to these interviews because she knows the hip hop world doesn't approve of her and she needs the moral support to prevent breaking down and crying or straight exploding on them and I wouldn't blame her for either. She's being degraded and basically bullied for living out her dream all because she was born in white skin. Music isn't supposed to have color.
U can hear rihannas caribbean accent in her music though, also u can hear adeles British accent in her music. Iggy does a full 360 from Australia to down south Atlanta wtf
i dont really know her and her music. just few staff..and not really listen hip hop..but u are right ..if u have a dream and u happy doing what u do and big plus get oaid for it, well...who really cares??? haters gonna hate!!!
She cant drop bars for shit , so it's best for her that she takes the Electronic/pop/rap route that she has been doing lately , she definitely finna blow up in that lane
Christian Hernandez I beg to differ. Em is a past name he isn't even as great as he used to be. I'm a fan of him to but even I know when it's time to just let someone else take the crown. Hopsin is good, dizzy, the entire Funk Volume are all talented. And there are a lot of artist on strange music killing shit as well. And for the record Snow The Product would kill this girl even on her bad days.
Where exactly do you see me defending? Get your eyes checked the only things I've said thus far was about Em not being on the level he used to be and opinions vary about what bars are.
Iggy is so real, she shows her insecurities about her album and relationships. She just wants to be successful. Music isn't determined by color or race but by the content or message you convey. Beyond her looks, she has a message and people should give her music a chance rather than labeling her as a white rapper.
T.I. - "Never say another rapper is better than you" Iggy - "she's dope though" T.I. - "Dope is fine, never doper" Words from a vet lmao. Listen to the man Iggy! He knows what jes talking about.
I love Nicki. I dont really like iggy's music.. the only people in competition is the artists. Fans have no reason to feel threatened. and i dont feel like nicki should be either shes a legend. shes the only female that took over for the females when the spot was dry for so long.
Exactly, she took over when there was NO COMPETITION anyone can do that! Is that really something to be boasting? "my fave won when there was nobody to compete against" ?
How can anyone take this chick seriously?...Her whole deal is a joke. Rap like you sound. What a put on. She sounds like an Australian sorority girl and then sounds like she's from the Bronx/Philly/Jersey when she raps? I'm fine with people using slang and spitting with flavor, but she raps nothing like she speaks and to me that's mad disingenuous. Listen to rappers like Nas, Q-Tip, Rakim, KRS One, Snoop...all of those dudes rap like they speak and to me that's a genuine expression. I call BS on this model chick. Her lyrics are just a series of 'black' cliches and slang.
For all y'all haters iggy is the best and y'all just mad y'all can't rap and y'all jealous because she pretty why u always have to hurt someone like what if someone did that to you
Please shutup she is rascist and her rapping sucks you'll be better off listening to lefteye, lil kim, eve, da brat and other female mc that raps wayy better than her.
Iggy is hated because of her skin color and she's female. Eminem was accepted because he had talent and he is a male where their lyrics can get away with hardcore rhymes. But since she's a female, she's hated on harder and plus she's not black and some people get insecure that a non-black person is successful in a genre that's dominantly black. I think she's talented and don't care if she was green. I like her story. She was 16, immigrant, and found her way to the top. That's the American Dream! How can you not admire that. Respect her hustle and skills.
I like Iggy. I wouldn't classify myself as a fan (yet), but I will checkout her album. I still think she is unpolished media-wise. She is very intellectual and you can sense it in her interviews, but she doesn't know how to market herself properly yet.
She's funny. She goes in on Twitter about anything and everything and then shows up in public and all of a sudden it's "I'm an innocent delicate flower that's everybody's trying to hurt". #Flatline
Ebro is such a joke talking about "I want to make sure people respect the craft" when Hot97 plays basically nothing but trash 24/7. Corporate lackey trying to talk like he's in the business of preserving hip hop, and not just about making a bunch of old white men rich.
Any successful artist, on a world wide scale is essentially a package. Talent, hard working, style, looks, carisma, etc. Talent does not equate to all the other aspects involved in the package that creates mass appeal. Iggy has the full package and a good attitude, so like it or not, she will do well on the large scale. Power 105 is better, because while Charlamagne has his comments, he keeps it cute and funny - it comes naturally. Ebro just comes off way too rude and disrespectful/trying too hard.
The female rap game is suffering. This chick has weak bars, Nicki Minaj is tolerable and that's all, Azalea Banks can rap but her personality is annoying AF with all of that petty twitter beef. Sigh. Maybe Lil Kim needs to come back now that she dropped that baby. Or Eve needs to cut a record about her life as a billionaire's wife. Shit we need good rap from a female MC.
I love how Ebro and Rosenberg (who I want to punch in the face on general principle) act like they are going to bring it to Iggy, yet right when she steps in the studio they start kissing her ass immediately. Why does Hot 97 act like these artists wouldn't be successful without their bullshit corporate culture raping radio station? Iggy and Hot 97 have one thing in common: a severe inflated sense of importance. Though I can see why people don’t like Iggy at the same time. She just isn’t interesting. Say what you will about Azealia Banks, at least she is passionate and has some interesting things to say. This chick just rambles on about nothing. If I had insomnia, Iggy talking would be the cure. And T.I. has disappointed me. He is one of the reasons this chick thinks she has changed the face of hip-hop.
Let's put things on the real.. I have nothing against her personally.. she just has NO skills.. simply put. I don't care what makes money... The fact that you can fool the masses is bogus anyway.. No flow, no type of delivery, no verses.. again, simply put..
Iggy's dope. fresh face. fresh sound. just what this new generation and female rap needs. narrow minded people will hate and tear down what they are not used to
she doesn't even have anything intelligent to say about her music or the conflict of interest surrounding the basis of her career. and here they are pacifying and appeasing her, you do not have nor have you earned a space in black hip hop its pretentious and insulting.
I see people on here hating on her like it's your business what she does.... She's beautiful, talented, and real no matter what you think! This chick can blow and is making money that you aren't... Why is everything about race right now??? Jealousy kills! You rock Iggy, keep on keeping on!
This is soooo sexist! The guys should just shut up with all the comments about looks and "white girl rap". And they are always asking female artists about the male producers.
souflotv uh my man i think thats the point i was making. im a 40 yr old man, I know damn well that big butts is something brothers and Hispanic men have always digged.
She seems like an amazing person when she is not rapping . i dont hate her or really care for her music but honestly she isnt gonna last long in her music career .
Oh yeah she must be so gangster, she's from the mean streets of Australia. Gimme a break, she couldn't hurt a fly. What adds insult to injury is the fact she can't even rap either. She's a whack one-hit wonder who will be old news in a couple months.
From the 'mean streets of Australia'? Yeah, we all skip along the streets, holding hands, and patting the kangaroos on our porch. How about you come to Australia and you can see what it's really like for a lot of people here. Also, its been a few months since your comment and she's bigger than ever!
Shes young. She needs media training and a life couch to help her learn how to be confident in herself as the wonderful human being she is OUTSIDE of the rap world.
I just want to know why she uses an American accent when she's Australian? I mean, if that's her style, im not hating (i love her music), but why can't she be herself and embrace her nationality? I don't see anything wrong with the Australian accent, but is she doing it because she wants to get to the american audience or something?
all the fuck these artist think of fans customers etc is for MONEY! they don't care about us as people or anything else but money i make money i make ptrofit i make cash out all that shit thats why i don't.....not gonna tell on myself but i just don't
Awww Poor Iggy ...CANT DO AN INTERVIEW BY YOURSELF NEED T.I TO SPEAK FOR YOU ..... AFRAID IGGY IS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING STUPID (RACIST) HUH ???? IT'S OK T.I YOU GOTTA PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT !!!
Wow. Laura Stylez looks absolutely beautiful in this video. Shes always been a subtle soft beauty, not saying "this video" as in shes ugly in other ones. I just mean she looks exceptionally lovely in this video. I wonder why..
I just don't buy that this chick is fully white. I'm not just saying that because she's rapping. I would say that if she was singing mary had a little lamb. I'm just saying look at her features, her eyes, her body shape. there is something very ethnic about this girl. I am willing to bet money that if anybody did a trace on her dna it would definitely show that somebody went dipping in the chocolate pool somewhere along the line IJS.
There are so many REAL rappers trying to get in the game. Way better!! Then this chick.. Who have real talent !! Who write there own stuff!! Who are from the hood and have that dream to get in the game. People that put love sweat and tears in their music. Who when they try to get recognition they end up with broke promises. I remember when hip hop came from te streets and it was our music. Both Black and Latin people it was our music. They say the world is tanning.. Not in the rap game it's getting a lighter. I don't discriminate I regulate every shade. But lets be honest it's true.
