What she said about Iggy didn't really make sense and was pretty racist too.

 

It wasn't? She's saying her problem with Iggy is the message she sends out to black children by beating other rappers who (let's be honest) have worked harder and created greater things, it gives out the message that no matter how hard you try and how good you work, some white pop girl who is stealing from your culture will trump you so give up now. All this on top that Slave Master sh*t too? How can T.I. defend her?

 

She hit the nail on the head regarding Iggy.

She should be like this all the time. She may not be always right but at least she is not acting like a damn mess. Maybe she should let someone else manage her social media because that's 80% of her public image and let's be honest, she is one of the messiest people on Twitter next to Amanda Bynes. Also it's kinda sad that half of the interview is about other artists.

racist towards a white girl ok 

I mean it is definitely possible to be racist towards white people, but Azealia isn't being racist, she's just telling it how it is. 

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

She made a great point about how Ebro says (which is right) let your music speak for itself, and yet in this 45 minute interview they did nothing but ask about drama and stuff.

It's so easy to forget how vulnerable she actually is, you can tell from her language just how she feels so many people are against her :giveup:

But that's how the media works. They are always going to focus on the drama, she should avoid drama to let her music speak for itself.

Gaga had to talk about the meat dress in every interview for a year although she had an album coming.

Rihanna doesn't write her own songs and isn't the greatest singer, yet is way more successful than many white girls who are better at both. That's the way the cookie crumbles in pop.

 

Once rap achieved huge commercial success all around the world for a couple decades, it was no longer "black culture" but the commercial music of a generation of kids.

 

What kind of a message does it send to little Aussie or British kids when you tell them only African-Americans are allowed to be rap stars, even though rap is on their radio?

The same could be said about Nicki Minaj doing pop records, however, if somebody said that she's stealing from a culture and suggested that she needs to be put to the hip-hop category because she's black, you guys would scream racism.

So true. Especially when she worked with Red One, whose sound is so in the tradition of Euro dance music.

This made me love Azealia so much more. She is truly music not the bling. She's truly talented and an amazing rapper. The part when she cried :emo:

Azealia and her free minded self and saying whatever she wants is truly inspiring. 

 

So much tea spilled and the part about Twitter, so ****ing true.
