Celeb News: Iggy does "black music" ; talks Macklemore.

Quote:

‘People have said I'm not real rap or real hip-hop,” says this year's four-time Grammy nominee Iggy Azalea, “but I don't care if people think I'm pop or rap. Everyone interprets music differently.” The nearly six-foot-tall Azalea (born Amethyst Amelia Kelly) grew up in the small town of Mullumbimby, New South Wales, and was always inspired by rock and roll and rap. At 16, she told her parents she was going on vacation, traveled to Florida, and never went back. After years of struggle and disappointment, Azalea, now 24, had massive success last summer with her catchy, ubiquitous hit single “Fancy” and No. 1 debut album, The New Classic. Here, she talks with Lisa Robinson about fame, shoes, and sex tapes.

Lisa Robinson: Do you think it's weird for a white Australian girl to be a rapper?

Iggy Azalea: Well, I never thought it was strange. If you go back to the Rolling Stones and Elvis Presley and Eminem—they've all basically done black music. I felt this wasn't that far from what we've seen in music history over and over again.

Do you think the criticism aimed at you is misogynistic?

Well, they don't say that stuff about Macklemore. So, yes, I think it has 100,000 percent to do with the fact that I have a vagina.

she just doesn't get it, does she?

Not only that but also because she's Australian. If she were American she'd be just like Kreayshawn for instance no one pays attention to her

She's right in the sense that she gets more hate than Macklemore from people

Oh Iggy....have you seen your "freestyle" video?

She's so delusional and self-absorbed.

Regardless, they're both still on the mediocre train to cornball land.

Because he acknowledges his privilege and has spoken about Ferguson & joined some of the peaceful protests
Basically he's a decent human being, plus his music is actually good.

She didn't lie at all... But watch the hating heffas below me bed mad.

Legacy

But Macklemore is critisized tho

Aleks

While she does have a point about hate being more extreme towards her because she's a woman, she still doesn't seem to get that a lot of the hate she receives is not because she does 'black music', it's because of the things she's said.

TurntUp

Always spot on and with a great response

Aatthew

They do say stuff about Macklemore... *facepalm*

1.Elvis Presley was in a WHOOLEERE different time.
2. Macklemore was being attack when he was popular and also he actually showed concern for the black community. Sometimes not in the best way but he always had good intentions.
