"If I have a short-lived career, at least I could say I sparked a change"
“At the very worst, if I have a short-lived career, at least I could say I sparked a change—that I inspired some leniency in what people accept in hip-hop,” she says.
No you haven't. Your formula has been done before. White female rappers have smashed. Let's not get carried away Iggy. You've actually started a barrier between races when it comes to rap, is that really the legacy which you are talking about? Please platinum selling album rappers Vanilla Ice and Soulja Boy also had big rap songs.
I inspired some leniency in what people accept in hip-hop
I feel like the exact opposite has happened? The rap community is instead trying to set up barriers and define itself by distancing itself from the type of music she makes.
Iggy has done nothing that hasn't already been done by NIcki Minaj, MIA, or Missy Elliot. She's discussing her impact like both Azealia Banks and NIcki MInaj didn't put out better albums than her in 2014.
She inspired the opposite of leniency.
