Because she's a hip hop artist whose first two singles went #1. This rarely, if ever happens in music. This is a hip hop board, thus she was bound to garner her fair share of attention from hip hop fans regardless of how talented she is. The fact that she has achieved something that most rap artists can only dream about in such a short amount of time, while not possessing 1/4th of the talent that most rap artists have, makes her an even easier target for hate from the hip hop community. Add in the fact that she's a white girl from Australia whose had to imitate a southern black american accent in order to achieve the aforementioned success, and it should come as no surprise that a place like the booth cant seem to stop with the iggy azalea discussion threads.
the conceptualization of people as Black is directly tied to colonization and skin tone, its not solely to signify African descent. Aborigines were characterized as Black regardless of whether or not they are direct descendants of Africa. It wasn't specifically because they thought Aborigines were African, they actually classified Aborigines as "Australoids" and not as "Negroids", but still called Aborigines "Black". On the racial scale of evolution that was used at the time they actually put Aborigines at the very bottom. It's fukked up.
Tip should cut off this potential cash cow. I'm sure the nikkas complaining in here will donate money to him if he does to help pay his bills. I mean they down for the cause, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to donate money.
Wtf gives her the right to speak on the crack epidemic? even metaphorically.
Yes, there are many Brown people, and they identify as Brown people. Aborigines are part of the world that identifies as Black people.
