Nah I agree.. In the interview she didnt really insert herself in the convo like that at all..

Shit she was talking about the media trying to erase Nicki Minaj's relevance with Iggy Azalea moreso than herself. She never said it's Iggy's fault SHE wasn't poppin more at any point..

Iggy's biggest issue is she isnt from America and is fully naive to the way this works.. she is literally a cultural tourist that landed here liked rap (w/o the baggage and identification it comes with) and has been successful at it. It frustrates people that she won't (like macklemore has done) recognize her white privilege.

Then obviously the system supports it but allowing pop success to dominate sub-genre charts. So she actually IS oppressing artists on the Hip Hop/R&B charts.
