Blacks don't like Iggy? That shit is news to me. All she does is use black music so selfishly and use it to get herself wealthy. Hey! There's a concept that works. One Twenty million other white rappers emerge...

Edit: Wow, ruffled some feathers by repeating some Eminem lyrics. Oh the irony.

[–]GodOfAtheism 80 ポイント81 ポイント  (105子コメント)

Some of them feel like homegirl is doing some blackface level shit because if you hear her spit vs. hear her talk, it's worlds different, what with the Aussie accent and all. Then you have Azalea Banks whos got a fuckin hate on for her, but she just trolls on twitter p much all day and starts shit with whoever whenever wherever.

[–]Snafu_Coaxer_2013 75 ポイント76 ポイント  (98子コメント)

Man Banks started shit with Action Bronson for being white, I don't know why anyone takes her seriously

Also that whole 'she's doing a voice' thing annoys me, everyone is doing a voice in rap, why are you only bringing up that this is racist when a woman does it why not with the Beastie Boys, or Eminem, fuck why not with female white rappers anyway, why not with Debbie Harry, or Kreayshawn

Uhhh... What did you think eminem meant when he said "they just think I'm some wigger who can rap cause I grab on my balls and talk with an accent" critics, rappers, and the general public made a huge deal of it...

[–]dazonic 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah check out the Howard Stern interview from like 98. For about 40 minutes all they ask is "why do you talk black?"

[–]iloveshitposting 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And then he rode the sybian. I miss early Howard Stern.

[–]Snafu_Coaxer_2013 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's not addressing genuine racial criticism, that's addressing 'eminem is a shit rapper because he's white', not 'eminem is symptomatic of problematic race relations and ingrained racist attitudes'

Different kind of accent dude, he never tried to emulate a black voice which is what Iggy was accused of. We aren't talking about black music, black genre etc which everyone keeps bringing up, the bitch actively tries to sound like a black woman but only when she sings.

[–]eucalyptusqueen 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (49子コメント)

1) Sexism is the word you're looking for. It's sexist when a women gets criticized for doing the same thing that a man does with impunity.

2) It's not so much the fact that she's white, it's the fact that she's the worst kind of cultural appropriator or as I like to call her: a nigga swagger jacker. She uses black culture to make millions but pays no attention to the history, struggle, and contribution black people have put forth to cultivate everything that is hip hop. She is pre packaged for fame because she is a white woman and much easier for the mainstream (aka other white people) to stomach. So she can adopt a blaccent, run around rubbing on her ass, have shitty first week album sales (which downright pale in comparison to Nicki's) and still get nominated for Grammy's while black artists who are actually deserving of awards for their talents are stiffed. This is the problem many black people have with her. And it is a problem because it's just another example of systematic racism.

Kek, implying every rapper read 12 years a slave.

[–]dazonic 27 ポイント28 ポイント  (13子コメント)

I dunno, everyone's just trying to make it in this world, she dreamt of being a rapper as a kid and it happened. Not all her fault. I don't think she needs to be a black rights activist just because she sings the music she likes. The dumb shit that comes out her mouth in interviews sometimes… that's another story.

[–]eucalyptusqueen 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (11子コメント)

No is saying she needs to be "a black civil rights activist" (whatever that is) and no one said she can't sing or rap (if you can call it that) the music she likes. The problem is her extreme appropriation and exploitation of black culture without even an inkling of respect or acknowledgement to the people and culture she rips off.

[–]princessbaby420[S] 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (3子コメント)

she's actually made alot of racist comments on twitter so it doesnt help

[–]eucalyptusqueen 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'm fully aware. She's an asshole on top being exploitative.

Yeah if she hadn't made so many racist comments I wouldn't really give a shit but she's terrible

[–]johnydarko 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (6子コメント)

"a black civil rights activist" (whatever that is)

Oh for fucks sake, don't act like it's some sort of term which is unknown, or you haven't heard used 1000 times before, or that you don't understand. It's someone who campaigns for Black Civil Rights or African-American Civil Rights. Martin Luther King Jr or Frederick Douglass for example would be examples from the USA, Nelson Mandela would be an example from South Africa.

[–]leedles_ 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I wouldn't say she "dreamed of being a rapper."

When she started her music career she was making an attempt at singing, it was more pop. There are videos on YouTube.

[–]cstir15 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Every time I hear her fucking songs on the radio I get flashbacks to Macklemore beating Kendrick for that fucking Grammy. Every god damned day.

[–]JEveryman 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Em is one of the best freestylers in rap. He is also one of the best battlers in rap. He used to be criticized by everyone. He then out rhymed everyone of his critics. The reason he gets the respect from rappers that Iggy doesn't is that he earned it.

For fucks sake he was actively beefing with a co-owner of The Source magazine, which was one of the biggest magazines in hip hop history. The fact he truly doesn't give a fuck and the fact he is an actual rapper and not just reciting other people's rhymes is why Eminem gets a hood pass where Iggy doesn't.

[–]HaloNinjer 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Eminem gets a hood pass because of that but Eminem was never accused of "sounding black on purpose" because he doesn't.

Not just black people, but Hip Hop fans of other races as well.

[–]allwittynamesaregone -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

To be honest, I don't think commercial rap has much in common with black culture today. I think commercial rap is basically putting anything that rhymes along with sex/drugs/violence/love in an attempt to make the most sales.

I'm glad Iggy's on the rap scene and I would like it if other races made it big on the rap scene too.

[–]eucalyptusqueen -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

No. Just no.

[–]flordeliest -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Not exactly systematic racism. There is no physical institution debilitating any race directly. What she has done is wrong, its certainly not on the level of denying rights or employment discrimination, things that merit the title systemic racism.

Have you ever heard a black rapper that isn't putting up an I'm from the streets and don't ever forget it" front? They don't speak day-to-day the way they speak when they rap at all. There's a "rapping voice" regardless of what race people are.

[–]HaloNinjer 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

How are all of you so God damned lost? The topic is not the content of the song, how much someone "fronts" etc. It's her singing voice that makes her sound like a black female, something Eminem was never confused with (male either).

[–]Snafu_Coaxer_2013 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's exactly what I'm saying!

Well, there are plenty of rappers with a different shtick, but everyone is doing the voice

When she started beefing with Bronson it showed her true nasty colors. You want to beef with Iggy, ok cool cuz she's garbage. Bronson is so far above banks he can't even see that bitch. It's not about all the excuses she making up (the voice thing and cultural misappropriation), it's cuz they are white point blank period! she's mad white people are getting attention she's not.

[–]Darrkman 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also that whole 'she's doing a voice' thing annoys me, everyone is doing a voice in rap

No thats not the case. What Iggy is doing is putting on an accent that she doesn't have to make records. You don't hear Your regional accent is as much a part of who you are as a rapper as your flow.

If it's blackface then all the white people commenting on this subreddit that attempt ebonics are also guilty of that. Secondly I don't dislike her for any reason other than she's a shit rapper. If she "tawks wid an ackcent and grabs on her balls" then whatever, but at least try to be good at it.

[–]princessbaby420[S] 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (5子コメント)

it was pretty hilarious when she was on a radio show and they asked her to freestyle and she just rapped one of her 'hit' songs

[–]eh_fuck_it1980 38 ポイント39 ポイント  (2子コメント)

90% of rappers do that. Hit song or at least a free style they've already done. Few rappers actually free style on camera/live radio.

[–]Fear_Yourself 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I don't think he was saying she's racist. She is actively confused of doing a racist "black face" style of music because her actual persona and her "rapping persona" are nothing alike.

I don't think any reasonable person really thinks she's a virulent racist though.

[–]MyAltAltAcct 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (2子コメント)

She has tweeted a lot of racist crap before, one was about black guys getting arrested outside a KFC and how stereotypical it was, another was something like being sick of hearing Mexican accents, telling an Asian lady to speak English, and iirc native Americans.

If you google iggy and racist tweets a lot will come up.

You can't just throw the words "black face" on whatever you want to

If you knew (not that I know) how degrading vaudeville and black face was to black people then you wouldn't be applying the term to some Australian white girl who likes to rap, damn

All she does is use black music so selfishly and use it to get herself wealthy

But isn't that what most artist do nowadays? Cause I'm sure these new generation "vine-rappers" aren't in the game to progress the artform.

The only difference between her and them is that she's more successful at it.

Valid point, but those "vime-rappers" get a lot of hate as well. Look up 'Queen Brit' on Vine and you'll see what I mean.

[–]pixie_dicks -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (8子コメント)

From what I understand, many black people hate Iggy cause she gets way more credit than she deserves. Sure her shits catchy, but in no way does she deserve a grammy IMO. Rap and hip hop are black culture and they use it to discuss the struggles of daily life on the streets. Iggy doesn't know about any of that. Her music is shallow like she doesn't have much to say. Then why does she have a grammy while female rappers are snubbed like Nitty Scott or, -hell, even Nicki is better than her (even if she is a crazy bitch).

My point is is that white rappers usually are more successful because white people can relate with them and understand them. When Kendrick's M.A.A.D. City album came out I remember playing it in my car and having my friend ask what the kids were saying and I had to translate to "white people speak" what they were saying. After a few more plays, she started to get the hang of their slang. A week later she was hooked; she realized what a beautiful and sad story Kendrick it telling throughout his album. While Macklmore is not bad and told his own struggles and story, I think Kendrick's storytelling, lyrics and flow was way more powerful yet Macklmore still won the grammy. Not trynna shit on white rappers, its just that this shit happens too much IMO.

I couldn't agree with you more about the grammy thing. What I guess I don't understand is, why hate Iggy just because she gets a lot of undue credit? that's not under her control. Yeah her music sucks and that's a reason to dislike her, but the fact that mainstream media loves her isn't her choice. I'm not trying to be argumentative or ignorant, sorry if it comes off that way.

[–]MyDaddyTaughtMeWell 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

If you Google Iggy and racist tweets, you'll find plenty of reason to dismiss her as ignorant at the very least. It gets harder to accept the way she uses hip hop culture to get fame and fortune.

[–]D1PP3R -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I have googled it, I was specifically asking about the grammys/positive attention she gets as being part of what people don't like about her. Because I don't get how it's her fault if she wins awards. And idk about her 'using' hip hop culture. She was a fan of hip hop/rap and she wanted to do it herself. People don't like the way she's going about it, which I can understand. Her music blows ass. but is it racist?
I agree that she is ignorant and unlikable but I think that can be said for a lot of artists.

edit to remove suggestion that iggy isn't racist. her tweets make it clear that she is ignorant.

[–]thesagaconts 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

How could you read those tweets and not say they are racist?

Exactly...it's 20% because she's white, 80% due to cultural appropriation. It's the same thing that kinda happened with Gwen Stefani, the Harajuku Girls, and Japanese culture.
