Some clarity..

NO ONE could've predicted Fancy.. Iggy almost didnt put it on the album and if she didnt have a fanbase overseas she wouldve been dropped.. They didnt believe in it

Here is the original btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcYOz2fpMk

Fancy worked because Charlie XCX has perfected the school girl cheer hook and it works with all girls from 8-30 yrs old..

There is no sinister plan with Iggy... she was about to be dropped and that shit just WORKED.. same with B.O.B and Nothing On You..

Her whiteness only comes into play because she can break in the Pop space then crossover to Urban after the fact. That is an issue only because a black female artist must come through the urban channels first before crossing to pop. At any point a song like "gangnam style" could come out and oppress any chance of urban artists breaking through because of the way the charts are structured and the way its labelled. Or they could be a little too pop so Urban won't play it. Or be too black so it never crosses over..

Nicki Minaj is the only black female in the last 9 years to reach mainstream stardom and maintain it.

On the plus side 2 of the worlds biggest artists are black females and hopefully with the addition of streaming to the charts it will right some of the wrongs of the chart restructure...

2015 gon be some shit
