Paper Planes

Everybody uses hyperbole in their songs, it's nothing to take too seriously.

 

As for her complaint with Iggy, I don't have enough interest in her to possibly comment on the situation. If Nicki feels that its a racial issue, then thats her prerogative. I can imagine that it must be quite frustrating for Nicki to have been releasing the same type of music as Iggy (neither of whom are particularly rap artists over pop ones) for a longer period of time, but not receiving the same attention/reception for it. Nicki gets the 'aaah a crazy lady' stuff whereas Iggy gets 'yaaas slay us queen of rap'. I think it's understandable that Nicki may feel this is due to race: a white woman is generally received by Western societies better than a black woman is. It's a horrid truth but a truth nonetheless.

 

Or perhaps because she's the first white female rapper to make such an impact in the industry. Rap is a very black-dominated genre from most standpoints, and so perhaps that is why there has been such a big fuss over her. Not to mention that Nicki Minaj used some very "aaah crazy lady" tactics during the Roman Reloaded days to get her attention. Iggy has only really pulled the JLo Booty stunt that seems out of the blue. Everything else has just been her doing her own thing. 

 

I mean, why do you think that both Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga pulled away from the "crazy" outfits and persona? Because after a while, people get bored and ignore the crazy lady in a burqa humping a priest and move on to something with a bit more substance. That's why Nicki's craze died down for a hot minute and the spotlight moved to Iggy for the spring and summer; she only has herself to blame for that. Even Anaconda, as crazy as it is, was a more natural era than most things she had done prior to Pills n Potions.

 

I respect both artists, but I feel like Nicki is just coming after Iggy because she took the spotlight and she will do anything to drag the poor girl down, whether she references her writing skills, time in the industry, or skin color.

It's quite easy to make unqualified comments and be blatantly racist if you can hide behind your computer. If you are ridiculing a black artists statement on underrepresentation and racism and call her pressed for not having one of those worthless trophies awarded by the Association of Mayonnaise and Saltine Americans YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. YOU ARE WHAT'S WRONG WITH SOCIETY.

why is it always the white people that say 'WHY ARE WE BRINGING RACE INTO THIS???'

 

 

Because blacks and the liberal media ALWAYS bring race into it whenever things don't go black people's way, then totally ignore race when it goes the other way.

 

Blacks win 35% of AOTY Grammys since 1974 awarded to Americans, but committee is still biased against them. :flop:

 

If Grammys are so biased, why did that black bigot one album wonder Lauryn Hill win over Madonna's Ray of Light and Shania's Come On Over in 1999 for AOTY? Lot of voters want to to show how progressive and anti-racist they are. Macklemore is just lucky gay rights were the progressive issue de jour in 2012.

After incidental exposure to Blacks who succeeded in counterstereotypical domains (e.g., Brown University President Ruth Simmons, Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison), participants drew an automatic inference that race was not a success-inhibiting factor in modern society.

Not you ignoring the fact that Lauryn Hill was successful with the Fugees before her album and that she only released one solo album ever :dies: . And Lauryn Hill won because it's actually considered one of the greatest albums ever made, and the committee even said it was basically unanimous because everyone could tell how special the album was.

 

Wait what the ****? 35%? Less than 20% of AOTY winners have been black.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is an AMAZING album which still stands up in today, and it deserved the Grammy it received based on its artistry. 

I root for you. I love you. You, you, you, you.

Lauryn is a black bigot because of comments like "I don't want white people buying my music." She had Azealia Banks attitude. Ended up in jail for tax evasion.

But blacks are a dominant force in music, AOTY Grammys are won more per capita by blacks.

Yet when an Aussie white girl has a bit of success in a counterstereotypical domain, it's still racism!

 

She's commercially the f*cking Tiger Woods or Venus Williams of white girls in rap, 25 years into the rap era, but how dare anyone give her an award.
