but then I'd like some better clarification if possible. Because if she wants racial exclusively in hip hop, or if she wants someone like myself to feel bad for doing what I love, I can't accept that.

And the way she put it, sounded like she was mad at these cats for existing in hip hop.

I get how Iggy would make anyone cringe, especially the accent, though she's so far removed from the American experience, it's conceivable she doesn't even know what she's doing beyond trying to sound like an American rapper. Or maybe its deliberate blackface.

But she seems to be mad at way more than that. She seems upset ppl are even part of this.

But to say there are things about the black experience that nonblack ppl don't understand? I can't really protest that.
