But Iggy wished death on someone last week. Kii

She hired a fan who was receiving homophobic remarks from his Manager from his old job...can azealia even do that?  Sorry but no matter what your fave is 100x worse than what Iggy has said in the past. Hmm...Lemme link this thread to LGBT Facebook groups so they can report it! and maybe some popular Youtubers and Urban media authors.

Half of the lives of Igloo stans revolve around Nicki and AB, what else could you expect  

Iggy fans wouldn't have to be in AB threads if AB would stop her obsession with Iggy. We know AB gets some sort of spotlight/attention once she talks about Iggy but the obsessions has to STOP! she has to work on her own to garner her own success and attention. Which is why she's only ever discussed when Iggy's related tot he subject.

Oh, please, only her fans think that kind of humour is funny. Everyone else just thinks it's pathetic.

Of course I brought race into it because Azealia made it about race! She said Iggy should commit suicide because she's apparently racist. She hates Iggy because of racial reasons, so it fits.

I didn't assume anything about you. I made a completely solo post. You quoted this and made it about yourself. I was referring to all her fans, regardless of colour. The ones that she has left, that is.

Quelle surprise. She's so predictable. I don't care who you are, no one deserves death wished upon them. Joking about it doesn't make it any better. I'm starting to think that Azealia fans would defend her even if she killed someone at this point. Whenever you present them with the evidence that she's nothing about a racist, homophobic bigot, they just say she had a right to say it or change the subject, even if they're from the groups she's being offensive about. Considering how quickly certain groups drop their fandom if the person in question starts being offensive, I'm surprised you lot are so lenient on her (especially her black fans, considering how they throw a fit if a white person's racist but yet have allowed Azealia to say shocking racist stuff about blacks that a white person wouldn't even dare to joke about). I was done with her ages ago, even though, apart from whites, she's never offended any of the groups I belong to. Because I've got something called empathy. Azealia fans should look it up sometime.

LMAOOO DRAAAAAGGGG HER REMAINING STAN(S) they're left BALED and SCALPED. its embarrassing to see them try to attempt something after this A+ drag. Poor them!

Who has Iggy really spoken out against? Who has she dissed directly (or even indirectly)? From what I can tell, that's a part of rap Iggy doesn't get involved with. 

And on that note- why should someone have to just expect that kind of treatment simply because of the genre they're in? If someone doesn't want to partake in the supposedly inherent 'battle' aspect of rap, then they shouldn't have to. Iggy has made it clear to Azealia that she's done going back and forth with this beef. 

That being said, I don't respect Iggy as a "rapper" - there are so many more valuable artists that should be recognized for their work and I don't think Iggy even has a proper understanding of the genre's history enough. Additionally, her "apology" for the slave master line was so fake it's ridiculous. She should have owned up and just said "I said a lyric that I now regret- I was being ignorant at the time when I referred to myself as a slave master, and I am sorry for using such a serious topic as a joke in my music," but she instead chose to make up some fake explanation. And even IF her explanation is the god-honest-truth, fact is that it was poorly written because the idea did not translate well at all. 

It's part of the peacocking in rap, which Iggy does. For example in Team, she states she is hard enough to walk through your block with no problem and can kill careers and put down the people who have anything to say about her.... but this does not translate to who she actually is; like most of her raps. Most rappers don't rap about being indestructible to then say they want to kill themselves. Rap is extremely competitive but then that's probably something Iggy doesn't know about.

Think of rap like boxing... you gotta be ready to expect some sh*t talk from your competitors because it's all about who has the tightest raps, who has got the best freestyle... rap is a competition with no "winner" but this is probably where the line is blurred with Iggy.

Iggy can't freestyle, she supposedly doesn't write her raps and her skills live are constantly questioned... maybe people should stop treating Iggy like she's a rapper because she doesn't really tick any of the boxes that qualify her to be in the same league as the others.

Oh please stop making a joke of yourself when you're a perfect example of someone who's life revolves around trying (and failing) to make Nicki and AB look bad, give me a break

That fan was a victim of homophobia and poor pay from his former manager. He works for Iggy now. Is this supposed to be an excuse? (anyways, people would blow this tweet out of proportion! thank GAWD its not making any headlines! azealia wishing death on Iggy however is getting her #DRAGGEDT on social media)

this makes no sense. Anyways, I'll be contacting big named Youtubers that cover these topics + other popular authors to expose azealia's nonsense yet once again!

Some of you guys are being way too rude, and some of you took @StrawberryBlond's post out of context. 

 

No, @Benji she does not turn the TV off after 9pm out of fear of watching something that might offend someone. It's pretty clear that she simply does not want to support an artist like Azealia who has trashed multiple people over and over and over.

Also, offensive comments being "normal" in rap doesn't mean everyone has to accept it. Not to mention, in rap the disses historically came in the lyrics or at actual rap battles- not from behind a computer screen....
And just because you've heard worse elsewhere doesn't make this okay.

 

Futhermore, StrawberryBlond is not racist, @inuborg. Surely there is some inherent unintentional racism that all white people are guilty of, but at the end of the day the point she was making is that she doesn't understand how a group of people could like someone who has generalized and said rude things about them. 
You'll jump on Strawberry and call her "racist" after she makes a thoughtfully-written post but then turn around and get annoyed because you think people should just 'expect' AB's behavior by now, especially after she said "my attitude is bitchy but you already knew that" in a song.
At least StrawberryBlond is trying to be considerate of others when/if she perhaps steps out of line when referring to race. Can't say the same for Banks. (See: Azealia's tweets referencing Jewish people and people of other races)
Maybe you should expect StrawberryBlond to come into a topic about Azealia and give her opinion because it's just something she does, much like you expect people to expect bitchy behavior from Banks.
 

Also, you said if Banks doesn't "tickle her humor" she should move on with her life- don't you think Azealia should move on with her life too? Because clearly she doesn't tickle Iggy's humor anymore. 

 

 

Lastly, regarding Iggy's tweet where she wished death on someone- Practically everyone in here has stated that Iggy wishing death on people is JUST as wrong as Azealia doing it.
Yet Azealia fans want to defend Banks and then expect everyone else to bash Iggy, as if Iggy making one tweet where she said she wished someone would die is the golden ticket to excuse every shitty thing AB has said.
(They were BOTH in the wrong!)

Why does everything AB does have to involve Iggy? cant she live off her own hustle?  I'm aware Iggy is the bigger star/legend/icon/rapper but AB and her fan(s) need to promote their fave and stop living off her beefs with more successful artists.

It's pretty clear that she simply does not want to support an artist like Azealia who has trashed multiple people over and over and over. Also, offensive comments being "normal" in rap doesn't mean everyone has to accept it. If Iggy was firing back left and right, fine. But what seems to be happening is Azealia keeps coming for people who don't really fire back at her- which isn't a rap battle as much as someone trying to pick a fight and failing at it. Not to mention, in rap the disses historically came in the lyrics or at actual rap battles- not from behind a computer screen....
And just because you've heard worse elsewhere doesn't mean that anything that isn't as bad as what you've heard in other places suddenly doesn't matter. 

How is saying people like me and @inuborg lack empathy because we don't boycott Azealia for other people supposed to be taken?  I'm only poking fun because that's a pretty weird thing to say, let's be real.

The rest is covered in my other post -

Iggy hired a fan after reading his tweets about how he was being mistreated by his boss & was a victim of homophobia + low pay. He lives in California so Iggy hooked him up with a job  kinda funny how the AB stan(s) are trying to use that stupid Tweet to justify their faves piss poor behavior  phew. poor them.

I agree wholeheartedly with your criticism of Iggy. I liked her at first because I thought a few of her songs were bops and the album that is slipping my mind right now (the yellow cover with the cartoon version of her in boxing gear) seemed very promising. But seeing where her career has gone...I have lost respect and I don't take her seriously as an artist or a rapper. 

And I agree with expecting some **** talk, but rap doesn't have to be so focused on that, y'know? And I think if one rapper wants to fire back at another, they should do it lyrically. I mean, if we're talking about how rap just is, then that's what is has been for decades, right? Azealia keeps turning to social media to prove a point when she should be putting it in a song. 
Not to mention, there's plenty of rap out there that doesn't focus on the "battling" - no artist should be forced to partake in that side of the genre if they don't want to. 

At the end of the day Iggy takes aspects of rap and uses it like a child trying on her mother's precious jewels. She doesn't understand the meaning behind them- she just thinks they're pretty and fun to flaunt. And when she puts that **** on, it's nothing to take seriously.

Miss Lance, I'm sorry, but the fans are ready for the #HeadNegresse to spill some blood . They gone, the kunts are hungry.

Completely different. That's a joke, not aimed directly at the person involved. If she'd found this person's page and told them to go die, that would be different. Above all, it's an expression. Not the nicest, but just something we say without really meaning it seriously. It's not wishing death, it's just a turn of phrase. Saying it directly to someone who's expressed suicidal feelings, on the other hand...

Well your not black and your not an AB fan so stay in your place as an outsider looking in.  And for you to say that a whole race of people think one away is racist no matter how you want to spin it . What is the point of saying the same thing in every Azealia thread? You've made the decision she's not for you a long time ago. Do you see me going into every Iggy thread to remind y'all I think she's a terrible musician? And wait so let me get this straight you have no time for Azealia yet you got time for all these posts? 

I realise I am an outsider looking in, I never denied that (was the "know your place" really necessary, though? I didn't say that one race think the whole way, I said that black Azealia fans must think the one way because they must be aware of her previous incidents but have chosen to let them fly, just like all the other groups she's offended who remain her fans (do you think saying all her white fans think the same way is racist too?). It's their choice, but I just don't get it. And actually, you do go to practically every Iggy thread, insulting her, so you've got some nerve to lecture me when you're being hypocritical. When I see hate, I have to comment on it, I just don't like it to pass by, not commented on. By not responding to it, we are complicit in it. Saying I have no time for her is just a turn of phrase. It's just another way of saying "I don't like her."

I'm a young, white, homosexual, she's cracked loads of jokes that apply to me but like you've just said, she does this to everyone so why are you offended for other people like her black fans? It's not like she's gunning for just one person... she hate's everyone! It's practically equality.

Most of what she says is pretty normal in rap (AB is actually less violent than a lot of rappers) and I have heard far more offensive things coming out of other's mouths, even at comedy shows. I mean, I get it, you're delicate but we don't all have to feel obliged to eat korma because the other curries are too hot for you.

But that doesn't mean that no one else has no right to be offended, just because you don't. The fact she's horrible to everyone makes her worse in my eyes, not better. It would justify her hate otherwise.

And I don't accept offensive things from others either. And yes, I'm a fan of comedy too, but comedy has different rules and some comedians are more adept at doing offensive comedy than others and do it in a way that's satirical. I'm not saying everything should be made milder for me, but for everyone.

That's what I like about her - she doesn't resort to lowering herself by dissing other rappers. So many of them do this and it makes me think less of them, to be honest, unless they had a really good reason for it. She's been nothing but classy during the whole Azealia fight, even though she could have cussed her out like crazy. She's even actively encouraged female rappers not to fight and that we're all in this together:

She's so sweet and genuine. Not every rapper is this nice and it makes a change.

You've got every right to make those criticisms. She's not a completely unproblematic rapper but I don't think she's as bad as people say. I think her flow is brilliant, I don't know why it doesn't get commented on more. If you really think she's the most untalented she is, you're lucky you haven't seen the real bottomfeeders of the rap industry. I say we should reserve our hate for those ones.
