StrawberryBlond 14,820 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Iggy Azalea - Hated on because she's white, no other reason. Plenty of black female rappers are doing what she does (some of them are not even as good) and they don't get this kind of hate. And there's certainly a lot of black male rappers who are worse but are treated like gods. It's funny how we're constantly being told that she's being offensive to the black community when disliking her for being white is offensive to the white community and is racist in general.Lana Del Rey - If you don't want to listen to her "boring" music, listen to something else and don't hate on her just because it's not quite your scene. She may be a one trick pony but she does her one trick better than anyone out there. She also had to work hard for critical acclaim and still awaits more rightful Grammy nominations and wins. For some reason, the critics were determined not to like her from the get go and the media was determined to label her as a millionarie's daughter who relied on daddy's money to bankroll her undeserved career. Truth is, she got it all herself and she writes all her own stuff, so damn right she deserves this. Even if she did buy a record deal, she's amazing, so as long as we get amazing music, I don't mind.Kim Kardashian - Yes, she may be rather superficial but really, what bad stuff has she done? Making a s-x tape isn't exactly the most aspiring thing in the world but there's far worse you could do and it's not like she was doing it with someone else's man. From what I've heard from hotel staff at all the places she stays in, she's super polite and so generous with tips. And you can tell she loves Kanye and North dearly. I think the whole marriage and babies thing has made her grow up a lot and honestly, I hope she surprises everyone and sticks this marriage out.Andy Murray - Great tennis player, the best Britain has had in decades and all we can do is complain about him. And it's all because he's Scottish. He may be pro Scottish independence but that doesn't mean he's anti English - he's married to an English woman! Just because of one jokey comment he made about not wanting England to win the world cup, he's suddenly painted as anti-union and therefore non Scots shouldn't support him. But even outwith all that, some tennis fans in general just don't like him for no reason. They say he got where he is on luck. You don't win Wimbledon (first British win in 77 years), Olympic gold, a Grand Slam (first British male win in 76 years), runner up in a further 6 Grand Slams and be part of team GB in their first Davis Cup final in 37 years based on pure luck. He's achieved all this on pure talent. England just want an English tennis player to represent the UK's best hope as always, so are prepared to be mean to anyone non English who achieved what the likes of English players like Tim Henman couldn't.the underlying issues with her entire shctick make her so problematic and hurtful to the black community which she appropriates. Look at her fake southern, black twang in her raps that is not native to Australia at all. she's ridiculous. she's just a huge joke.Music doesn't belong to any race and everyone should be allowed to experiment with whatever genres they want without being accused of stealing stuff from minority groups. She's lived in the southern US since she moved there at 16. Of course she'll pick up the accent a little. And remember that as white people, our accents can sound a bit silly when we rap, so we consciously or subconsciously change it to sound credible. That's all it is. If she sang with an Australian accent, she'd probably be hated on for sounding ridiculous, I just know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,820 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I agree with almost everything you said expect for Iggy. She can't rap. Well, I know that I'm maybe in the minority here but I think her flow is good. She can rap better than the deadbeats of rap today who are so lazy in their flow, drawling their way through and making these stupid, near animalistic sounds, acting like they're stoned...Iggy's rapping is solid, understandable and non-irritating to the ear. But it just doesn't sound credible when you say this stuff as a white person. It was good to get the acknowledgement from one mixed race guy that her flow was good. Seriously, listen to the second verse of Fancy and notice how she effortlessly dances over this beat with fast lyrics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperado 2,439 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 All get deserved hate. Lana.Iggy: She's trash as a rapper, cant freestyle, sounds like an alien and mumbles live. She's a white chick from Australia trying to sound like a black woman from the US. Plus she's been messy on social media and racist too.Katy: Basic as fuuuuck, bad music. Enough said.Madonna: Always trying it with the controversy plus she's problematic, specially before.Bieber: He's a MESS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
