What I don't understand is why Iggy gets all this backlash, but it's okay for Eminem who's "guilty" of the same things...?

You can't just strip a group of people of their culture. Give them yours but only small parts and exclude them on a wide scale. Force them to create their own culture. Take parts of their culture and stamp your face on it and then they have to create a new aspect of culture because parts of the one they created before has been taken not to mention the mainstream culture which has had a history of excluding them STILL excludes and then expect them to willingly welcome you with open arms into their culture after all the ******** they had to go through just to get the little bit of culture they have left.

Doesn't work like that

I agree the personal attacks on Iggy need to stop, and I've said it plenty of times. But Iggy using the "accent" and her success-quality ratio is the main reason why the radar is on her.

I'm over it

They've BOTH said stupid **** anyway

Goodnight y'all

[KareBear]

Not black people needing to "stop bringing up race"
Maybe if ya'll weren't so damn racist all the time we wouldn't have to keep bringing it up

Let's settle this once an for all

It's clear that's why.

Azealia Banks is so ridiculous

The pure ignorance here. God forbid if you get called n*gger once... boo hoo. You like that reversal? Why does Azealia care so much that Iggy is succeeding in black dominated music? Because she was born white. That's your answer folks.

I've met inanimate objects smarter than you. In fact my blanket has a better argument than you do right now.

Because Iggy is a textbook appropriator through and through.
Eminem gives cultural appreciation for the most part.
That isn't to say he's perfect but

Kray may have light skin but she's actually Mexican and understands the hustle

Here's my question:

Who gets to decide when someone can use "black culture" and when someone can't? Who gets to decide when someone can say the N word and when someone can't? Who gets to decide what is right and what's wrong.

Iggy Azalea is doing absolutely nothing wrong. She doesn't need to have an opinion on "black matters" because plenty of black people themselves don't have an opinion. Everything being thrown around is ridiculous. Let Iggy do her thing and let Azealia remain bitter and angry. Nothing will change.

I really don't follow Eminem, so what exactly does he do that's more "appreciative" than Iggy?
The way I see it he gives rap/hip-hop a worse name in regards to misogyny and content, as opposed to imitating an accent.

iggy can do whatever she wants, and Azealia is also allowed to have an opinion on it.

I didn't say i'm more concerned with the term and i said it's NOT ONE SIDED ISSUE. If you want this to end, BOTH SIDES should try to end it.

Did a black police officer just shoot and kill a white young boy playing with a toy gun in a park? No. Did a white person just get shot because their hoody was too mysterious and pants too low? Nope! Did a white person choke a disarmed fat black man, who was screaming for help because he could not breathe, to death? Yes, but Iggy was just called a white girl on Twitter! Surely, that makes it a two-sided issue! Every bone in Iggy's body must be shaking from hundreds of years of injustice towards her people.

Hundreds of years of abuse to Africans, all leading up to today, and you think the term "white girl" is racist. The term roots back to when slaves would talk about their masters or affiliates of slave masters in a fearful, "she is more valuable than me" manner. It never was an insult, and Azealia is twisting the use of the word in reference to our dear runaway slave master. Black girl was a term used by racist white people to belittle and scare black girls when they did anything out of the ordinary or contrary to how white people desired they should act, especially in regards to slaves. Do you understand now?

He raps in his real voice, for starters.

What Azealia said in that interview was the authentic truth. Quoting Azealia: "Just because you're not singing over the beat, doesn't make it hip-hop or rap". Also, about her saying how The Grammy's are supposed to be an accolade for artistic excellence, which I couldn't have said any better. That you shouldn't be giving grammy's to people who haven't done anything culturally, musically, and/or made a big impact with you/your crap music. And honestly, look at the Grammy nominations; half of those nominations outta the whole list are fuc**** pathetic. Azalea said the truth and some day, I hope this interview was just a ***** slap to everyone to realize what real authentic music is.

Dear LordT, I Pray for this Clueless White Girl.

None of this will make sense to her until she herself has children with a black man and has to deal with having black children in America

The interview was about things way beyond your mental capacity.

drag the hoe, AB She slayed that hot 97 interview, love her even more now.

He's more authentic because he comes from the struggle. He grew up in Detroit and was a part of the underground rap scene there. He's great at freestyle rapping and is a great lyricist.
