The same members can use their critical thinking when it comes to the pop girls and their streaming points, coupled with album sales and radio spins and figure out all kinds of mathematical equations, BUT when it comes to this...the brain power is remedial at best.

It's got to be because they deliberately are refusing to open their minds and hearts to these ideas.

Exactly! White gays can fully comprehend systematic oppression as it relates to their queerness but can't see it with race. White feminists can understand erasure and silencing as it pertains to women in history but can't see it with race. I guess since it doesn't affect them it doesn't matter.

This is so damn annoying. So if I wanna be a rapper or R&B singer i'm automatically "trying to be black" and have an obligation to be vocal about current issues in the black community even if I have no real experience relating to it?

No, you can take the MIA route and not present yourself as a caricature of black people!

Is that reference to Iggy's accent? Besides that fact, this article mentions Justin who has never tried being a "caricature of black people" from my current knowledge. This article basically takes a stab at all non-black people who do Rap/R&B music.

Get out of here. If you actually did the education you would know black people have supported whites who do soul, r&b, and rap without actually appropriating: Teena Marie, Beastie Boys, Jon B., Michael McDonald, Lisa Stansfield, Adele, etc. Stop trying to make white people seem like victims.

NOW everyone is over it?

I told ya'll this was going to happen MONTHS AGO. I warned you all there was a storm brewing and that it wasn't going to be pretty.

If it were GENUINE then NO ONE would have a problem.

The biggest gripe with Iggy is that she's only "hood" and attempts to exhibit "swag" when she's rapping. Cut the music and she's corny. All her "hip-hop" influence jumps right out the window.

She talks the talk but aint walking no where in her Louboutins.

It had to be Pitchfork, obviously. I won't even bother reading

[TrashyNavy]

nasty bandwagon site. A lot of these once good websites are now taking the clickbait route, sad

[Valera]

Not Azealia fans suddenly coming to life and getting so happy when 2 years straight in every thread everyone said "How can anyone stan for this dumb bitch"....like...this bitch even insulted Lily Allen's children for no reason

[happymess]

[MaoMars]

how surprising

[Green]

Justin Timberlake and Robin Thicke with their affinity for ripping the style of R&B and soul singers of the past.

Why aren't Justin Timberlake & Robin Thicke bolded in the OP?
Why the thread title isn't Pitckfork drags Iggy, Justin Timberlake & Robin Thicke? The transparency and hate bandwagoning in this site is real.
SHEEPS!

[ForeverNow90]

Did they lie?

[ChapelHooker]

It's not even possible some you are really this dumb, still defending her and trying to justify her behaviour. I can't believe it.

So weak, they'd never write this if Azealia hadn't spoken out recently.

Lemme tell you right now she sounds nothing like an Australian here. I guess she's faking her talking voice too?
