Why am I not surprised to see white people COMPLETELY missing her point and coming in here talking about "she hates white people?"

We water down EVERYTHING. Black music, culture, and now socially aware, intellectual arguments.

I mean the woman is in tears for ****s sakes. Where is your humanity? Instead of being racist little ***** and immediately calling her mentally unstable, how about you LISTEN to her. At least try to understand her.

If it was Iggy up here crying y'all would be some petty ass kissing bitches

She does not hate white people. If she hated white people, would she make songs like Liquorice, be friends with Rosenberg and Lana and have white boyfriends? No! She hates that white accomplishments easily overshadow and erase black ones. It happened with genres' like Rock and jazz and now she's afraid that it will happen to her genre,hip hop.

And I agree wholeheartedly, but she needs to find a way to get her point across without screaming, crying and cursing because it makes her seem completely insane.

LOLOL at some of you who post stupid **** but don't watch the interview, or maybe ya'll are just choosing selective parts you want to reference in your posts? This is exactly why I can't take stans seriously. Ya'll are just ugh

[Echelon]

A lot of the things she said was really excessive, and you can tell she is running with this racial thing hard. She did study acting after all.

They missing the point cause the stanning

She needs to be more balanced though. It's a good interview and I gotta admit I was feeling a bit weird when she started to get emotional but she needs to find a more balanced way to express herself. No one or at least not the ones you're trying to reach are going to listen to you if you keep screaming and saying sometimes things that doesn't make any sense. Plus, her tweets towards Iggy aren't making the situation easier. She's too extreme.

Racism is such a big issue, even in arts, it's not easy at all to understand and change. Whether you're the victim or the one excercing control over them. It's even harder to understand the privilege you have.

Too bad she can't keep her mouth shut. She might have had some success in her career. Pity.

This entire discussion of "stealing black culture" is so ****ing ancient. We are becoming more and more of a global community each and every day. I cannot wait for the time when calling out white people for doing something that a black person did once no longer exists.

What a useless issue to cry about. Get over it. White people rap too. Put down your social justice warrior swords and smell the rose that is 'Fancy'.

Wow this is so bitter of her. What she should understand is that Iggy is not interested in being another female rapper because her skin color alone cancels that. Instead Iggy went out of her way to make PURE hip hop records with obscure artists who'd never done a pop or hip hop hook before. She is easily the biggest talent we've seen in a while to come out of that genre when it comes to females. Iggy is interested in starting a movement and opening doors for generations of female rapper who'll have it easier to have success in such a misogynistic environment. It's like when Madonna did the sex book. Iggy is taking the stones in order to open the doors and make an ACTUAL impact on hip hop. She'll forever be a unique benchmark in the rap genre and in the future, she will be mentioned alongside the greats. I'm thankful all this hate hasn't pushed Iggy to start rapping on some techno beats in order to find easy success. Her artistic integrity + talent +innovation are truly formidable. It's sad that Azealia feels the need to knock her down in order to feel better about herself. But I'm glad the world is for once standing up for the bullied, instead of the bully.

The level of delusion is just

I do think he's a troll only.

[Solopop]

I don't understand why Azealia feels like only black people can perform hip-hop? That'd be as ridiculous as not allowing a black person to person in an Opera. The only issue with Iggy is the accent, however, that isn't a black accent its a southern one and its the one where she is most comfortable, so why is there a problem?

[Rihinvention]

Ugh dammit I love her again. Why does she always do this to me. I've never had such a love/hate relationship with an artist before.

[Witchpop]

So apparently i missed a LOT of **** between AB and Iggy and all I can say is Iggy is trash for deflecting the points AB made, and in return making it, once again as if Azealia is pressed over her alone, and not the larger issue at hand.

Bye bitch.

Someone made a comment about how Iggy is one of
the few major white rappers who isn't aware of their privilege,
and I looked into it

http://genius.com/Macklemore-white-privilege-lyrics/

If only Iggy was this insightful.
It's sad how ignorant she is to racial issues, and the same goes to her fans.
All that matters is her personal little feelings getting hurt because that's the biggest problem she sees.
She doesn't see that issue is much bigger than her because she doesn't live that issue,
she doesn't have to see it. Literal textbook-case appropriation.
