Azealia called out white rappers for appropriating black culture, and being rewarded for it. “That Macklemore album wasn’t better than the Drake record,” Banks said. “That Iggy Azalea **** is not better than any fu**in’ black girl that’s rapping today.”
Iggy was nominated for four awards including Best Rap Album at the 57th Annual Grammys. “The Grammys are supposed to be awards for artistic excellence… Iggy Azalea’s not excellent,” she said. “I have a problem when you’re trying to say that it’s hip-hop and you’re trying to put it up against black culture.”
She blasted Iggy for jacking Nicki Minaj’s style. “Nicki Minaj over the past two, three, four years has done so much to create this social presence, like consciousness, and then here you go. She’s like Re-Up and Roman Reloaded, and here go fu**in’ Iggy like Reclassified. It’s like a cultural smudging was what I see.”
According to Azealia, the Grammys are sending the wrong message. “When they give these Grammys out, all it says to white kids is, ‘You’re great. You’re amazing. You can do whatever you put your mind to.’ And it says to black kids, ‘You don’t have ****. You don’t own ****, not even the **** you created yourself.’ And it makes me upset.”
Her suggestion? “Put [Iggy] in the pop category. Put her and Miley Cyrus in the same fu**in’ box together. Don’t put her in hip-hop. Just because she’s singing, does not mean she’s rap music.”
As tears rolled down her face, she explained how white America and capitalism have robbed her of her identity.

LMAO as if Nicki hasn't shamelessly jumped on every trend and stolen from every popular artist of the moment.

I think she mentioned that. She said something along the lines, "Nicki put on a blond wig with pink lipstick to show those white bitches how ridiculous they look on stage and she bounced with the check."
Enough about Azit. No one hears all the noise she makes. If a tree falls in the woods...

This book is HILARIOUS. It's about 2 kids being raised by parents who are avant-garde artists. Like think that Marina whatever woman that ShitGa copies, but 10x more extreme.
