People already have their reasons to not trust Macklemore.

And what are those reasons?

I think most of Nicki's fans would agree with that statement.

RR is a good album.

Even if she did, she can't think that and still like Nicki? It's not all or nothing for everyone like it is for so many people on ATRL. You can totally like someone without absolutely loving every single thing they do.

She's been praising her for a while.

But i see you trying to stir the pot.
Let's stay on Azealia v. Iggy.

She's worse than some ATRL users.

If she wants her career to go anywhere, she needs to learn to not run her mouth so much. I don't understand how she hasn't realized this yet?

It's called speaking the truth, and she cares about the music not the bling.

Not Iggy being dragged all damn day due to J. Cole & Azealia

This is pretty interesting:

Yes. Any person of any identity can be an asshole to any person of any other identity. But that doesn’t make it oppression. It doesn’t even make it racism or sexism or heterosexim or any other -ism.

There is a profound danger in watering down our discussion of identity by removing any mention of societal power, oppression, and privilege.

Doing so ensures that the conversation remains about interpersonal slights rather than about the larger systems of oppression that are the true problem.

Now, this is not to say, that the real issue is the system, so I can say whatever I want, and it shouldn’t matter. Not at all.

Our interpersonal interactions are reflections of and support structures for the larger problems of systematic inequality and oppression.

Instead, we need to recognize that not all hurtful words or deeds are equal when certain ones are backed by a history and current system of domination, violence, oppression, repression, dehumanization, and degradation.

We need to be clear that when we are talking about oppression or a particular -ism, we are not simply talking about an interpersonal slight. We are talking about something much bigger.

white people will never be systematically oppressed. theyll just continue to cry because someone called them a jar of mayo and hurt their feelings

And if Iggy tweeted making fun of Azealia's skin tone what would be the reaction?

She has realized this and stated that she knows but she just doesnt care.

Racism =/= racial oppression



It's got nothing to do with whether one is oppressed or not, but one can be offended by negative comments directed towards someone based on their race. It's not that hard to understand.

no one is talking about petty little jokes when discussing racism. that **** is harmless. what isnt harmless is iggy literally taking hip hop culture taking a fat **** on it and selling it back to people.

i mean no one would really be mad if she didn't suck so damn hard. her songs are terrible! T.I. is really losing his lyrical creativity

[MissedTheTrain]

Skimming through this thread, and wow, I love when people try to accuse an entire race of people of being racist, as they make racist comments themselves.

Fighting what you think is implied racism with more racism isn't going to do anything. I'm sick of race even being an issue for things.

Azealia has proven herself to be racist and homophobic. What is she doing criticizing anyone?

You've also proven yourself MANY times to be blatantly racist and homophobic yet you're in SYG all the time criticizing people. So?

[yogosans14]

Just last week she was Queen of Rap, now she's been drageed non stop.

Karma man...
