Dear white people, especially Iggy, please have all the seats. When people of colour critique you about your attitude towards issues of race we are not 'hating' on you, we are telling you that your shitty attitude is shitty and you need to change it. So stop acting like we're bullying you. Demanding social change and awareness does not equal bullying. You don't get to pick and choose 'cool' things about a culture, such as they way we talk, express ourselves, traditional clothing, music, religious deities, etc, and then walk away from it after you've finished decorating your body. Cultures are not for decoration. If you want to adopt a culture you adopt the whole culture and not just the pretty parts. Not just the ones that appeal to you. And you will support that culture through thick and thin. You wanna act like you're black but you don't wanna be black. You want to adopt the appealing things about Black culture but you refuse to acknowledge that Black lives matter. Kinda like that time white people stole rock and jazz from Black people but they were chill about the KKK.
***** Yeah, you missed the point. Not surprising. You might not have to "bow down and worship the Celtic Pagan Gods", but you damn sure better know something about and respect the history behind it. Class dismissed.
When people of colour critique white people about problematic racist shit it's almost always about problematic racist shit and not random foolerly you think is okay to do. Like, way to miss the whole point. And I don't have to be nice when I talk about racism because I am entitled to my rage and I don't need more white people trying to police my tone. And yay for you, a handful of white people helped out here and there now suddenly we all have to bend over and kiss your ass and be thankful for Elvis and his innovative guitar licks? No thanks. Sure, some white folks didn't approve of the KKK, like the white hippies smoking weed and giving out peace signs, but they sure as fuck were ok with making a commodity out of people of colour's cultures. Wearing bindis and talking about enlightment and shit and stealing yoga and taking up space.
I don't like the term Culture Vulture but Iggy is the optimal idea of a Culture Vulture. Real hip hop came from the Black Panther era, the activist era, the rise of the Black community in America, the group that made a multi-billion dollar industry from turning pain into a no violent way of expression. If Kanye West started singing Spanish music does that make him a salsa singer? The hottest singer to express change in the Spanish music industry? Plus Iggy and a whole lot of other rappers now-a-days are just that, "Rappers" that does not make them Hip Hop, Rapping is one part of the Hip Hop culture. wearing a yamaka doesn't make you Jewish.
Yes, you fucking racist. In fact there are black spanish singers. And please go watch Rapture by Blondie singing about Fab Five Freddie when you weren't even born.
Nerozumim well, "Genius" that does not make Kanye a Spanish singer (and his color was not what I even mentioned). Racist!? hey, call me what you want (Troll). I get it, I said something with validation and you feel that you have to trump me that's fine. My statement stands, She is a Culture Vulture, Blondie "SANG" in English over a rap album but she was never a Rapper, and rap is just rap, not Hip Hop.
Alexander Hernandez NO, she's NOT a culture "vulture", simply because instead of listening to australian pop that you so fantasize her listening through her childhood, she listened to Hip Hop, and that defined HER culture. Which may not be exactly the same culture as a black rapper living in a ghetto, but it's still Hip Hop culture, through the music, through the lyrics. I'll rewrite what I said in another comment above: You can't "appropriate" something that has transferred into the mainstream. It's just not the same as going visit the Masai in Africa, and replicate their music without giving those people any credit. The Masai are a little people, with no connection to the mainstream. American hip hop artists want to be in the mainstream since Rappers Delight. Therefore when the music enters the mainstream, it becomes part of a common culture that is cosmopolitan, not something that only a part of the population can access, comprehend, or whatever. Any people saying otherwise is unschooled BS. Go read back Immanuel Kant about the process of cognition, and Jacques Lacan about the process of langage and culture, before you can tell who has "right" to "culture". Politics have an influence on Culture, but Culture is NOT politics. Also DJ Kool Herc never meant hip hop to be divisive, and in the first couple sentances of Rappers Delight it says it's not important the color of your skin. So shad up.
Nerozumim You got your facts straight (on name drops) but politics is hip hop and Dj Kool Herc played the music and constructed a style of DJing which introduced breaks. Africa Bambaataa started the Zulu kings after returning from Africa and intended to start a revolution of people to promote peace, love, knowledge and understanding within this community. The people from the street came up with this, culture not another country, these streets here in America. Australians know nothing of what happens here at all, I've been to Pirth and Sydney and talked to the people, their out look on life is really different from ours. I'm from Jersey but I come to the south talking with a southern twang does not make me south. This is like saying because I know people in jail and hear their stories I can tell people I served time? Right? You have that in reverse Culture has influence on politics, not the other way around.
Look, I don't like Iggy, if I hear her songs I change the channel. I don't have to like her and you don't have to like what I write. The truth is the truth no matter which way you bend it. She is perpetrating a southern female rapper and she is not. We will not agree and I don't care you don't pay my bills and I will not contribute to her paying hers or yours.
iggy is going to get the money she needs from this hiphop shit, then she'd either use the capital to venture into business, then drop rap or go fully pop. She isn't in this hiphop shit from the long haul
+horrorjunkie92 ashamed of her for embracing or embodying black culture. Didn't know "acting black" whatever the fuck that means in the first place, was a bad thing. You are stigmatising "acting black" what ever the fuck that means and its pretty ignorant.
I agree that it's weird to date only one race even if it's your own. Who does that? Any woman who ONLY dates black men is fucked even if she's black. Maybe date based on a person's character rather than an image or fetish. Dating black men for street cred is condescendingly racist imo.
Mike Ansley Agreed. I usually prefer dark skin on a woman but it's never a deciding factor on who I date. If I meet a white or an oriental woman I like, of course I'll give her a chance. Iggy is purposely making a point of dating within a small minority. That's fine though. It's her business but if she's going to sexually discriminate against her own culture, she shouldn't act like she's representing them. She should say "Look, Australia is the country I happened to be born in but I've always gravitated more towards American black culture." It's the phoniness that bothers me.
MIvarsson99 Racism means the belief one is superior to other races. Secondly, although she is technically a "real Australian", she doesn't culturally identify as such (at least publicly.) I wouldn't take issue with that if she were at least honest about it.
MIvarsson99 Wow, you're really that ignorant. We're talking about cultural appropriation, not that one race is superior. I'm not even sure which race I'm apparently supposed to find superior.
She's the epitome of in and out of black. When it's time to annoy the world (entertain), she speaks in black voice. When's she at home, she's back to normal. Get your paper, but I'm just sick of her. She clogged the airwaves for the entire end of last year with a bunch of bullsquat. I'm so happy to know that Fancy is the only thing she's capable of.
***** he said he wasnt already . . . beyond that, youll have to take his word for it . . regardless, his identity does not effect the relevance of the subject being discussed
History is repeating itself. The sad thing is that Iggy seems to be the only one who doesn't realize it. She's just a fad like Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer back in the day. They were basically gimmicks and so is Iggy. When all of the non hip hop fans who are making her a success get bored, disappear and move on to something else as history suggests it will, she'll be trying to make nice nice with the hip hop fans and radio stations again. Fame can be an addiction and the level of fame she has now will not last for too long.
Probably not. Vanilla Ice was the 80s/90s man, Hip hop wasn't mainstream like that yet and most white people still weren't feeling it like that. It's 2015, white people are DYING for someone to represent them in hip hop. Especially a woman with a big booty? Imagine all the white girls excited to live their hood fantasies through Iggy lol. Plus she has some crazy fans already. The only way I see her falling off, is if she stops making music.. which probably won't happen, sadly. But I think she's gonna fade back to background a lil especially after not winning those Grammy's. It was the momentum that had everybody talking.
Y'all should watch "The tanning of America" if you haven't already. It talks about everything to do with the culture. They talked about Vanilla Ice & MC Hammer ironically, saying that they were cheesy.
'IT'S ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE TO BE WHITE' *drops mic* and if anything, Eminem and Charli Baltimore kicked down those doors for her. She has a serious God complex for someone that has accomplished so little. At least with Kanye it's somewhat reasonable.
I can just hear the chorus now... Slim Jesus: I pose like a FUCKING champ Til’ my toes catch a FUCKING cramp Iggy: If you want to send shout outs To Australia, use a FUCKIN’ stamp Both: From Frank Block to the Outback, White folk coming at you Slim Jesus: Posing hard as FUCK Both: Like a bride and groom statue
I did click on this video because of the picture 😂😂😂😂 First thing in mah head "OH WUUUTT, IGGY GIVIN EBRO DAT LAPDance... Damn thumbnails maaannn!!!😂😂😂😂
Bashing Iggy has become a popular trend that many are chosing to be apart of just to be apart of the crowd. Whether people like her music or not is another thing. But to make your displeasure for her music be about what we as black people go through in America is a bit confusing to me. Last time I checked we were getting treated unfairly way before Iggy Azalea popped on the scene so why place the burden on HER as if SHE caused it.
poetmm Charlamagne is a comedian and his punk ass started this whole fuck the radio movement. When the DJ's Hosts whatever you want to call them start believing they are celebrities it turns into a fucking joke. To be real SWAY is the only Radio personality that still looks out for artists and doesn't try to get rich off clowning them. Hot97 and Power105.1 need to say fuck these guys. force these old heads into retirement and get some fresh faces who don't feel self entitled. That being said Iggy is standing In a white t shirt with no bra handing out water balloons saying "I dare ya" Dumb bitch!
matt demshock popular Dj's have always been celebrities and to be honest most artist need radio to succeed very few can do what Beyoncé and now J. Cole have done with no radio singles and still sale a great deal of records...but i do understand what you mean but great radio personalities will forever weigh in and display their feelings regardless if everyone or no one agrees...age of social media even we can say what we want and be heard...lol
***** stupid huh...yeah I'm glad you didn't decide to argue because i don't make a habit out of arguing with people who start conversations with insults...have a great life
White privilege doesn't even really exist in hip hop, if anything its a disadvantage bc if she wasn't white none of this would be happening, and don't bother saying.. "well if she wasn't white, she wouldn't be successful in hip hop" nicki minaj is the biggest female rapper and she's black. And on top of that, saying she's not hip hop bc she has a pop record makes no sense, nicki has straight pop songs, that doesn't make her not hip hop though, right? And on top of all of that.. This isn't 10 years ago, hip hop is the new Pop, when it comes to popular culture. And when it comes to the awards, if there are people that just voted for her bc she's white, obviously thats not fair, but its not her fault. Bottom line is, theres black artist in hip hop & theres white artist in hip hop, Black & White artist win awards all the time. Trying to say someone white shouldn't rap bc a black person started it is like saying black athletes shouldn't play basketball bc a white guy started it, If it was like that we wouldn't have Michael Jordan or Lebron James, So stfu bc that would suck.
She's fucking trash, I don't think you understand. When someone sucks that bad yet gets acclaim, it's clear as day why. CAUSE SHES WHITE. THERE ARE MORE WHITE PEOPLE IN THE U.S THEN ANY OTHER RACE. What does that mean? Simple. More sales, more popularity, while ruining the hip hop culture. She's pop she shouldn't even be considered rap. Nicki Minaj actually has bars, she's contributed more to hip hop then she's hurt it. Iggy just tries to sound like she's from the south (faking a fucking accent). She's a culture appropriating vulture. Fuck Iggy Igloo. Sincerely, a fan of real hip hop. Eminem, Bronson, Macklemore, are all white, and are all accepted cause they add value to the art form. Iggy fucking sucks and fakes an accent.
ashley kelly You said that Nicki is the biggest black female rapper, if it wasn't for her pop songs she wouldn't be anywhere near as popular than she is now, and stop thumbing up your own comments.
Constantine Goliath Really though? she's not some lyrical genius, but she isn't that bad, Especially when people like Young Thug are making money off of "Hip Hop" music, The fact that artist like young thug are making money from hip hop without going through the stuff iggy goes through proves that the people bitching about iggy are simply doing it bc she's white not bc her lack of rapping ability or respect towards hip hop. People don't like that she's white and successful in hip hop and thats just some racist BS.
Most people don't hate Iggy Azalea cause she's white. They don't like her because she isn't really a rapper. The music she makes money for is Pop, and she allegedly doesn't write her own music and the world is just letting her get away with it. For goodness sakes, the Grammys nominated her for Best Rap Album, but Fancy is nominated in the Best Pop Duo/Group Collaboration. Since she's a so called rapper, the song should've been nominated in Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
PinoyBidyo I understand that, but even her alone, I just don't consider her as a rapper. That's just me personally. Like Azealia Banks said, just because someone doesn't sing, doesn't mean they're a rapper. But, that's just me. It doesn't mean she's a bad person, I just don't like her music, think her rhymes are pretty weak and her rapping voice seems annoying.
I've got an idea. Let's release Fancy as a lead single and then follow up with Beg For It that has basically the same chorus because my debut album sucked ass. Let's try to fool our fans and bring them the same song again cause we're a one trick pony.
As annoying as Ebro & Rosenburg can be I'm rolling with them on this. They've showed her love and I think Iggy's overestimating her 'influence' a bit. Chill & go with it, this ain't no Hollywood pop world.
stealth 5had0w thats not what i meant. I just hope hes not one of them dick heads who hate on skateboarding and its culture. Im a religious street skater and niggas call me every name in the book while they decked out in skate gear from head to toe.
stealth 5had0w lmfao!. i dont mind if they like the clothes or just genuinely respect the the culture but dont shit on it and wear. its like false advertising. the minute i see someone wearing nike SB, or vans or some shit. i wanna start a conversation about their favorite pro, or trick. Gotta stop myself because obviously everybody dont skate.
I LOVE my black men but you guys did that, y'all created this monster. I find it hilarious how she'll go at everybody like snoop dogg or somebody like that, but won't go at nicki and azelia, when they openly disrespected her, and sometimes when she was in the same room with them.
Lol Since when has the voice of White people(men or women) not been "accepted in hip hop"? I like her and am very happy to see her embrace the culture and all, but....she didn't alter hip hop, she just made her mark in it. If anyone has ever altered anything, it was Eminem. Hip hop doesn't need anyone's "approval" and is open to ANYONE of any race who makes good music, as well as every other genre(well, maybe not Country lol). It's all about who makes good music and who doesn't. Like I said, I like her a lot and congratulate her for her accomplishments, but she's not a female Eminem impact-wise
+Harden Thicke nah eminem getting in the charts introduced millions of people to rap, that wouldn't have listened to it otherwise. US rap was barely being played in its own country... on its own coast... nevermind over seas to different cultures, and races. Even now looking back, the impact is still beyond comprehension... it's impossible to fathom where rap would be without his influence.
The ironic part is that country music is actually black people's music lol! The slaves originated it! But just like anything in America the white man steals it and claims he invented it😴
she did spark a change in Hip Hop...the only mainstream white female doing it....ya'll haters lyrically she got skills....that's like black men don't want admit that Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time...Hip Hop is universal now get over it...
I think a lot of people are mad because some of her past songs and past actions (before she became famous) were a bit racist. So of course the African American community was pissed and kind of exiled her
never heard those songs +kenicke579 but i see all races of people are upset about her even white people hate her.....Hip Hop needs to evolve, there so many nationalities and races of people that does Hip Hop now...
+Bruce Coleman iggy has skills lyrically? please watch the many videos of her doing shows/clubs/events where she is literally making random noises on the mic in a rhythm, she can't rap for shit, iif she was a dope rapper she would've been accepted into hip hop by learning her place, she would've made dope records by now and lyrically destroying fellow competition, thats how everyone else got there, don't expect sympathy just cause she's the first white female non-american to pop, she had a few club bangers but she is trash and has no substance to her lyrics/songs so no she is not contributing to hip-hop, mentioning her with eminem is a disgrace, learn what hip-hop is and what its foundation is before making that type of statement my friend, eminem is a student of the game,, a lyrical genius and has substance in his lyrics, again, please go watch her literally just making funny noises on the mic at shows, sh's exiled now cause she sucks, nuff said, respect your opinion bro, just stating mine....
well I don't respect your opinion sounds very threatening....i know what hip hop is and what is the foundation...i came up in the day where hip hop was positive but ya'll on this negative Hip Hop....and no she is not the first white female rapper...you must don't listen to undergorund rap....there is tons of white female rappers. Stax
Wait she does need hot97 its a popular radio station in NY and he needs to be cool with other radio stations as well that's how artist promotes their music and that's how other artists informs their fans when to buy their albums and shit
that was before she got ate by the machine. when they drop her and she back to normal then yeah but ryte NOW saying she need them. when she on the the big stations getting real spins. people don't realize how much hip hop artists is struggling out here. drake has never had a overall #1 iggy got 2.
And Ebro is just antagonizing Iggy. When the girl was on his show during her album promo for The New Classic he was complimenting her. But then when he gets guest artists on his show he brings up Iggy's name and makes snide remarks about her during the conversation to get the artist to join him. Now he's chiming in on blogs throwing shots at her. That makes Ebro look very fraudulent in my eyes.
why is she still relevant??? when did she become so important? you don't have bars, ti is your ghost writer. you just make songs for charts... within five years, no one will remember her. she will be like gwen stefani or fergie
+george michael yea iggy is the racist who is engade to nick young the racist card is used to loosely and should be reserved for people like Donald trump, bill o reily etc.
Just saying how can Iggy possibly be racist ??? She is white from Australia... 🇦🇺... who lives in USA 🇺🇸 , who sings black music and talks like Afro-Americans.... in which by the way she also have a Afro-American woman’s body and but .... now how can Iggy be racist ??? Please don’t be a full to make a such a comment... it makes no sense
Accepting criticism negatively has become such an epidemic in society these days, Its like people immediately take offense to anything someone says about them or what their doing. Instead of taking the criticism in a negative way try listening to it and seeing how you can better yourself from it.
BTW the Mark Messier Jersey is too dope Rosenberg and u respect that you went with the Oilers n not the " We will win game 6" Rangers erase jerseys considering you are in NY big ups for that.
