Why Does Iggy Azalea get away with performing Vocal Blackface?

[Thegospel]

Yes, blame her and not the nikka managing her. Clifford Harris​

 

[Ronnie Lott]

If you're asking why she gets away with making black music then we need to have a discussion about Justin Timberlake, Adolf Bieber, Robin Thicke, as well as Pink (amongst others) before we even reach Iggy

Adolph Beiber

Lol @ BW wanting to look like a pale white woman.

Stop it.

And having a big ass was praised by non white people for decades so yes she is trying to fit in with black culture.

Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim would beg to differ... I could go on and on but we're sticking to hip-hop.

 

[Box Cutta]

I would put Drake in that same category fam.

Oh I definitely agree.

Although on some level, Drake seems to catch more flack than even Iggy (At least on this forum )

I hate defending Eminem too cause I will always hold him at a distance for his young Bieber moment but to his credit he addressed it, in the most direct way possible.

In Without Me he said:

I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley
To do black music so selfishly
And use it to get myself wealthy

Yeah, that's another difference. Dude has always come off as at least partially aware of his priviledge. Also peep White America.

Iggy be like "it's 2014, those black people can put out a mixtape if they're mad"....

 

[BelowTheMasonDixon]

She's just the start, soon hip hop will be overrun by white female rappers

Mainstream hip hop will be ran by white rappers period. Why would Whites pay to see Blacks do something Whites can do better? The decline of skill and lyrical ability as something that a rap artist needed to have, has aided, the demise of hip hop greatly. It will be a wrap when shytty White rappers can blow based off "swag" and "street cred" it hasn't quite happened yet, but I assure you a white Migos is coming, a white Future is coming, A white Gucci mane is coming, etc...

All they gonna need black rappers for then is a co-sign.

She sounds forced, but I'm afraid Drake does this too, friends.

what Drake does is code-switch, totally different from what Iggy does.

Pink makes black music

She did when she first came out. She used the Black audience to gain some popularity then jumped back into the white lane. She effin with Treach from Naughty by Nature at that time.

This is from her first album:





And went to this:

 

[Blah1991]

I don't see her darkening her skin tone, wearing an afro weave, or adding more nose to her existing one. A big ole a$$ was never exclusive to our people.

I don't see most black women doing anything to emulate her .... My comment stands
I also don't know what black women have to do with this culture vulture cave skank .... Black men are the ones who put her on

 

[Chelsea Bridge]

Nicki Minaj changed her look so try again and two women do not represent BW let alone the majority of black female rappers. Stop trying so hard.

Plus this ain't got shyt to do with BW but I'm not surprised that there would be one trying to throw black women under the bus in her defense. There's always one supposed black man who wants to be that guy.

 

[LA Fisher]

Black women wanna look like her though...

 

[Cabbage Patch]

Cac's listen to hip-hop radio more than blacks now.

especially since most of these "Hip-Hop" radio stations got every race under the sun, except black people as the DJ's.

It's that way out there, too? I don't mind when someone loves the music, but there's an aryan white cat out here now who doesn't even try to hide his disrespect and contempt. And the city loves him for it. He doesn't disrespect Mexicans, though. At least, not over the airwaves.

Ladies! Don't be in denial... There are tons of black women "evening their skin tone "... Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim both mutilated their noses and bleached their skin and they do represent alot of black girls that listen to rap. Act like there is no truth to what i'm saying though...

And went to this:

I couldnt care less because Pink is an amazing talent

And to be fair, Nicki Minaj (especially) and Rihanna do the stereotypical "white girl" voices in their songs, cacs lap that shyt up

Iggy is an abysmal artist though

I remember that crap. fukk that bytch. Didn't she claim she was only dating Treach because she was forced to for image? I don't know which would be worse.
