Nicki going pop and Iggy getting **** for even breathing in the hip-hop world are two entirely different things. You're deluded beyond belief.

Iggy get's **** for breathing in the hip-hop world because she specifically called herself a "Slave Master" in a song, and in the video did a whipping motion.
Iggy get's **** for breathing in the hip-hop world because she puts on a fake accent that makes a mockery of southern black women. Why can't she rap in an Australian accent?
Iggy get's **** for breathing in the hip-hop world because she won't acknowledge her privilege as a white woman. Where as other notoriously white artists (Eminem and Macklemore) have acknowledged that they have it a lot easier in this genre because they are white.
Iggy get's **** because she wants to be black when beat drops, but the second it ends, she's a suburban white woman and refuses to speak on actual racism in the world by turning it into a discussion about herself and why she's a victim, while making fun of a black woman crying in an interview about the struggles of being a black woman.
Iggy get's **** for being a mediocre white artist that's being praised as if she's the second coming of Jesus in the hip-hop world. She's getting grammy nominations, which are awards for excellence in a specific genre/category. But Iggy isn't excellence, there are other artists that are infinitely more talented than she is, but get half as credited all because of their skin color.
Iggy get's **** for tweeting racist **** in her past and doesn't acknowledge it, nor has she apologized for it in any way other than "Sorry if you were offended"
If Iggy didn't want to get ****, she could know her place, know her privilege, and use her privilege to educate others on the injustice that happens in the industry or even make a change on that injustice, and help people notice these other talented artists get the exposure they deserve and the accolades they deserve.
But no, what does she do? She cries on twitter and makes herself a victim.
But please, defend her some more.
all over
