Desperado 2,439 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I agree. I don't believe Iggy is more successful than Azealia because she is white, I believe she is more successful because she makes a lot more pop based records than Azealia, which is more marketable, no matter how much more I think Azealia is talented. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware that white privileges still exist, I just don't believe this is an example of it. but its not the point lmfaoo its not that Yeah because you have the abaility to understand the thought process of individual human beings based on their taste in music. Seriously? What a misguided, preconceived notion. he knows them really well by dealing with that kind of people on this forum. and others and on twitter.

Vernier 3,786 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 This is going to end well... I purposely didn't make a thread for the support AB received as it's a problem BIGGER than what most people here can begin to comprehend and goes far beyond AB v IA but if we're really going to drag this on and on then let's get some more threads going. Don't even bother, reasoning is hard. It's much easier to just scream "pressed" and go on and on about Iggy's chart success I get his point, but I don't think he gets Azealea's point at ALL This. I don't get why it's so hard for people to realize the point Azealia was trying to make goes far beyond stan wars :emma: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELECTRAHEARTPOP 93 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 That is what ab is doing to Iggy tbh, Well, quite rightly. 'Runaway slave master' huh Iggy? That's what she's thinks of herself? She deserves every bit of backlash she's getting from the African-American community and the hip-hop community. I mean, I'm not even black but I'm a hip-hop fan and I hate her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 680 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 'Our culture'... Will.i.am is not part of hip hop. He is black though so if that's what he means then cool I guess. I don't really think he's educated or versed enough in the issue to comment. He's probably just supporting her because she's successful. He was unquestionably part of hip-hop for many years, even if he evolved in a more electro-hop and pop direction. He had a career before The End and even before Fergie joined the Peas. So if you are a white SJW who hates Iggy, don't suppose Ms. Banks speaks for ALL blacks. Will also knows a bit about UK and Oz, having done The Voice in both countries. Likely was the most popular of the 3 male judges on both panels, showing if you have a good attitude race isn't a big deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Anything with the word "iggy" or "azealia" in it will turn into a big fat mess. It's just a fact now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this is a bigger issue. I'm not even going to go into it on here because I know I'll be ripped apart for it because I'm white and 'not aloud to speak on the issue'. Just know that it's wider than just what you're all seeing. He's right that it doesn't matter if you're black ro white. He's wrong where he says she's spreading the culture positively Exactly. He seems to be forgetting the 'runaway slave master' lyric and just the fact that she has muddied the water of hip hop. Now you have every teen white girl thinking they are experts in the history of hip hop because they own The New Classic (a pop record). Absolutely ridiculous.
