I always considered Azealia Banks in the same

so...there's a white artist/audience system in place but not a system propelling white artists further regardless of their talent?

Don't say WHO should be in replace of Iggy if

Kendrick went platinum. 0 Grammys


Foh. Iggy has fucking smassssssh hits. Her

you just said her album was weak, yet big songs by white artists (try getting to the root of why they're big) should somehow count


Majority of the shit

you're all over the place here. Azealia's issue is weak rap from a white girl being pushed to the forefront. I liked YG's album, he didnt get a nod because...take a guess...he's too black

she does fine without the mainstream world. she eats internationally and she's been in Hawaii with Kanye. her issue with Iggy was the runaway slavemaster line, then the fact that she's white acting black

She blamed Pharrell who

almost all of her album is better than ATM Jam, maybe the label forced her to do a Pharrell record
