Jean Grae on Iggy's accent: "I call it verbal blackface"
Quote:
"I would love to answer a question about Iggy Azalea. I just want her to stop doing that crazy voice. I have no problem saying this: I feel like it’s really ****ing offensive. I’m offended. Is that what I’m supposed to sound like? What are you doing? I call it ‘verbal blackface.’"
By next month she will already be doing more interviews thanks to the press she got from this one & saying she's open to work with Iggy or something though, like it happened with a certain Rah Digga.

But there's no such thing as a "black accent". Iggy raps in a southern accent... Not all black people are southern. And not all southern people are black.
What does Iggy's southern accent have to do with black face?
What? Why do most british artist sing in an american accent? Boop! Jessica Mauboy is from australia and she doesnt sing in an australian accent either, she sings in an american accent!
This whole accent thing is just so pathetic, leave Iggy alone. I cant at how pressed everyone is because shes succesful australian white hip hop artist.
