That Azealia Banks interview? Is he just trying to follow up with a more proper and palatable lesson than Azealia was trying to dish or did Iggy actually do something this time?

Tip hit her up in the tweets to educate her about the genre she's supposedly top of the game in....

Just drop her schtik that ppl ate up? Shes just doing what she genuinely thinks hiphop/rap music is, which IMO is really no different from what all the other women in hip hop/ rap are doing or have done with the exception of like Missy Elliot and Lauren Hill. If folks are upset about her presence and popularity in " hip hop " the ones that need to be adressed are the folks giving her the ability to do so (TI) and those buying her music, which are not us.

Iggy can keep doing what she is doing music wise...No harm, no foul there...

But she should turn down the entitlement thing she seems to always bring to the party...I truly believe that when Iggy makes clueless statements like "U are being racist!" to a very complicated and emotional topic for many folks (like A. Banks...) she is doing so mostly because she is not from this country...

Iggy just needs to realize that her success doesn't come in a vacuum....I think Tip's Tweets go a long way to tugging on Iggy's slip very respectfully I might add...

It could be forgivable that she is somewhat culturally-unaware, however she needs to be a lot humbler and willing to learn - particularly as she's making Black music.

That she instead chooses to be obnoxious and to not take heed of what people are saying isn't very flattering. She needs to shut her mouth and open her ears.

Mongo post a couple weeks back and perhaps shut the fuck about shit she doesn't know since she apparently can't empathize with a very real and present struggle...

that's just an initial suggestion of course... *shrug*

Some of the things she's posted does suggest an extreme disconnect but If I recall correctly when she chose to "stfu" and remain silent when all racial tension headed in Ferguson, Azealia Banks and company attacked her for not saying anything. She's damned if she does damned if she dosent. One on accord people are like " bitch don't appropriate black culture and then not be about the issues!" When she does its " bitch stfu and stay silent cause you can't relate!" And when and if she does about face and go the pop singer route im willing to bet it's gonna be " bitch it was hip hop/rap and the appropriation of black culture that made you hot, and don't you forget that while you try and move out of a genre that we didn't want you in anyway!"

That girl can't go right, left up or down. Anywho I ain't got all the answers Sway.

A series of sneaky @'s

Azaelia gets mad love for interview....

A random fan asks her how she feels about other white rappers @'s action bronson, asher etc..

Action chimes in.. new line of beef starts with Azaelia

ANOTHER random fan @'s Q-tip and solange in the madness with Action

Action says some shit about "this is who you people pick as your civil rights leader"

Q-tip checks him..

decides he will school the youth ...

So basically a fan tweets her inquiring about talented white rappers. Action Bronson jumps the gun telling banks not to mention his name in slanderous manner, which never happened in the first place. Then Banks then proceeds to let out a slew of fat jokes lol? Lmao.

you are right.. but im too lazy to read and THAT's what Q-tip thought he said anyway.. lol

he said "BOOOOO👎PEOPLE THIS IS UR CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST*??? COME ON.”

>No need to paraphrase... the tweets have been posted on
>multiple sites...

Action did not say " you people". I lost respect for q tip for putting those words in Bronson mouth

EXACTLY...so even if he didn't EXACTLY say 'you people', the shit was tantamount.

Bronson deleted that shit because he knew he was in the wrong with that particular tweet

When addressing any multiples of individuals, its a common ass figure of speech that automatically flows out, everyone with sense realizes this, but since SOME folks have also used it in a racial manner, it gets autofuck buzzword status for anyone wanting to pin the tail on donkey.

Whatever dude. When civil rights is mentioned, first thing that comes to mind is...The civil rights movement of the 60s. Miss me with that shit.

>EXACTLY...so even if he didn't EXACTLY say 'you people', the
>shit was tantamount.


If hella PEOPLE (not just BLACK people) in NY (or where ever) are backing what Banks is saying, then there is nothing wrong with his response... Tip was on some bullshit acting like he can't read... and maybe he can't because he swore that Acton said "you people"...

but nobody needs CIVIL RIGHTS but minorities and gays so he basically IS saying you people. But I'm not here to knock your Koolaid out your hand.

LOL

I'm not sure what's so hard for folks to understand about that.

Iggy, that is...

i mean no one can take away the hits she had this year, but i wonder if she'll end up on some one hit wonder status faster than we thought

As long as she got that white dollar, she'll be around longer than I'd like her to be.

The music is pretty much trash but she's white and participating in " black culture caracatire " that white youth love so much. Her being white makes it 10x more appealing to them so they will buy.

Except like Beyonce, away with them all.

Yep....the only about face she can pull off is go full blown Pitbull....

That's already what she tried..

Before Fancy worked she had multiple edm-lite rap records that didn't connect..

She is gonna have a very interesting time moving forward anyway..

making it big.

Again I don't know where some folks get idea that Autotune or melodyne turns someone who cant even sing in the shower into a star..

It doesnt work like that... even these singers with "weaker" voices or folks who cant SANG can sing enough.. sure there are people who just talk through autotune.. but they arent pop stars either..

She can't sing enough..

If Nicki can have pop records hits singing, I'm sure iggy can.

Are we gonna forget that Nicki is a product of one of the best performing arts high schools in the country? So much so they made a damn TV Show about it..

FAME..

Nicki can sing she sings live she may not write those records but she can deliver the top line.

She writes all her raps.. that I am for sure.. But pop hooks and pop songs.. nah they are mostly Ester Dean..

Which is weird because her first real record that blew up was Your Love and I'm pretty sure that was just her and Pop Wansel. But ever since super bass Ester has been her go-to for BIG pop records

Hold a tune long enough for some studio magic to happen... Sure, but so can Future, Cassie and hell even Kim Kardashian can do that but I would hardly call that singing talent.

This is Nicki Minaj " singing" skip to 2:36 ---> http://youtu.be/U9QsB31Wgro

And similarly almost all of her "singing" performances are of low quality. She auditioned for that performing arts school with a singing audition was and rejected, later on auditioned for the acting and was accepted, and rightfully so.

Baby girl can rap and has charisma for days and I'm not taking that away from her at all. But suggesting that she has singing talent is reaching, but I dunno maybe you do think that shit sounds good.

But I say all that, not to drag Nicki M but to suggest that Iggy can have success singing "pop" records because a bunch of other non "singing" artists can and have. It's not uncommon.

they said pull a Pink.. which she cannot do...

Yes that is a BAD performance.. and she is outta breath as shit.. so there could be contributing factors..

Rihanna pulled back on that over dancing as well.. and when she does she definitely lands her vocals

But ultimately what I am saying is.. if someone is almost tone deaf.. like note is supposed to be in C and they are singin F Sharp.. autotune cannot fix that... But for someone like Nicki who probably slips from C to C Sharp or sits in between the two it won't sound AMAZING live but she can get away with it on record...

and Future nor Thug can be on this convo because they do not have these level of hits.. No Billboard Hot 100 number ones not even top 10's

>they said pull a Pink.. which she cannot do...
This she can't, but have successful pop records without being able to sing, definitely.


>Yes that is a BAD performance.. and she is outta breath as
>shit.. so there could be contributing factors..

No she can't sing period, I follow her career pretty closely because I am fan, and I have yet to see a performance were shes singing well. With studio magic she sounds decent at best but I would hardly call that singing talent. But if you can show me one performance where she's displaying significant vocal talent, I will shut the entire fuck up. Lol

>Rihanna pulled back on that over dancing as well.. and when
>she does she definitely lands her vocals

Nicki dosent really land her singing vocals regardless of whether she's dancing or not. Or atleast I have yet to hear it.

I guess but you can still have big successful pop records without being able to sing. ( ie Nicki Minaj)

Nicki Minaj's pop smashes may contain her singing top line but they arent "singing pop records". They are pop/rap records with huge choruses and bridges. She has rap verses on all of them (yes the melodic 2nd verse on Starships is a rap verse )

It's literally what Iggy is already doing which is why I started this whole thing off by saying there is no about face for her..

That is the formula..

Edit: The only difference is that every time Nicki has a singing hook it doesn't say featuring Ester Dean.

She got hits but she cant sing live... its always wful

>She got hits but she cant sing live... its always wful

>She can't sing

Go peep a J Lo show now... I'd argue she is performing the best that she ever has now.. singing and dancing...

This arguement will get lost anyway in the definition.. I never said these people could SANG.. but they can sing enough..

Drake has literally changed the entire genre of R&b with his singing..

>Go peep a J Lo show now... I'd argue she is performing the
>best that she ever has now.. singing and dancing...


So you're saying she's improved. Point stands that her lack of singing ability didn't
stop her from doing it.


>This arguement will get lost anyway in the definition.. I
>never said these people could SANG.. but they can sing
>enough..


It really isn't bout the definition. You're saying they can carry a tune. If Iggy can do that,
she can be a "singer" in this era. It really doesn't take much at all.

>Drake has literally changed the entire genre of R&b with his
>singing..


You mean his songwriting.

Agree.. I dont think she can carry a tune...


as for Drake.. nah.. his singing has changed R&B... his cadence his 100% flattening of notes in melodyne so there is no vibrato.. all that

Her career is not solidified yet..

She has sold A LOT of singles.. but her album isn't gold and the re-release sold 11k first week.

If this stadium tour doesn't do well next year people will be less willing to invest for sure..

but she is dating a Laker and for other obvious reasons she'll stay in the gossip fodder probably longer than she needs to..

So hopefully Skeme can write another shit in that time.. we see "Beg for It didnt" work

Decrying her are just haters

I understand it's just about the money but damn, draw the line somewhere fam.

Both Dana Dane and Slick Rick had their Hey Days in the '80's. But what of it? 30 years from now, La di Da di, A Children's Story, The Show, and Nightmares will STILL be gettin' play. IDK how much anyone can say that about this mess from today.

fashion or manner?

And I categorically disagree with your assessment, at least in
part, because The Show rocks just as hard today as it did back
in '85.

>come out today, will get play 30 years from now in any

do "back that ass up" or "fuck them other
niggas cause i'm down for my niggas" still get the party
crunk today? that shit 15 years old right now. I can easily
see them shits still getting as much burn in 2029 as they do
today.

you realise Gin n Juice is TWENTY YEARS OLD right now and when
it came out The Show and La Di Da Di were already "old
school classics"???

The Show rocks hard a Paid In Full here in Houston and any

play that shit at a step show and watch the crowd's reaction

The Show and Paid in Full rocks hard still, because they are
undeniable classics. Them Bullshit trax you mentioned above
are just flavors of the moment, like A-Bay-bay and that
Souljah Boy, Tell 'em garbage.  

When The Show and Paid in Full dropped, everybody who was
around at that time KNEW that this thing called Hip Hop music
had turned a significant corner.  It's been a
LLOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time, since there's been a track or an
album that's had that kind of impact.

you never heard Juvenile's "back that ass up"? you a
fine muthafucka girl now back that ass up.
the shit was HUUUUUGE when it dropped

you never heard that No Limit track "fuck them other
niggas cause im down for my niggas"???
unless you never listened to a radio, been to a club/bar or a
family reunion in the last 15 years i'm calling bullshit on
this one.

just admit that Dana Dane and Slick Rick squeezed through the
cracks when hip hop was in its adolescent stages.
now that hip hop is in its "grown and sexy" years,
them british niggas wont get no traction.

just because a Vanessa Williams type got much love in 1985
don't mean her same type will get love in 2015. maybe to your
old self, but these young boys want CAKES!!!

I heard all that shit that you mentioned above and it was
alright, but I was beginning to feel so-called Hip Hop music
less and less around that time.  Coming out of the Golden Age,
that shit was less authentic and I began to grow wary of the
monotonous theme and sound that was been spouted by damn near
every so-called Hip Hop artist and was mentally checkin' out
of it.

Wait a minute? Are you sayin' that Slick Rick squeezed
through?  I MAY give you Dana, but Slick Rick? Are you
serious? Next thing you know, you'll be saying that Melle Mel
just happened to "squeeze through" with "The
Message" or that PE, with their whole career,
"squeezed through" or that BDP/KRS just happened to
"squeeze through with their/his contribution(s) or that
Rakim just happened to "squeeze through" with his
lyrical dexterity and display.  How so? Because this shit
that's dropping today is just so unbelievably hot? You can't
be serious.  LMFAO at even the thought of that!!!!

IDK what this has to do with anything, but Venessa "the
undressa" Williams is a beauty in any generation. She may
not hold the same level of sex appeal because she doesn't have
the thickness that's required for that nowadays to have that
top level sex appeal, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't get
any attention.  Hell, look at Rhianna and all of the attention
that she gets. You think a young Venessa would get no looks?
Hell, she still catches some looks now.

And the thickness model of today for women is not new.  It was
in effect back in the day, it just wasn't popular (just like
Hip Hop). Take a look at all of the love that Bernadette
Stanis, Chaka Khan and Judy Pace among several others, got
back in the day.

And what I stated below, STILL stands.

I thought something happened recently when you said just gave him a lesson but on the Iggy topic, they got tagged on Bronson's comment. That's the only reason they responded. Tip did nothing wrong IMO. Educate the young lady. The dumb niggas around her aren't doing it obviously.

when he just put Weezy in the Zulu Nation as if his music/content is far off from Iggy's lol He's using Weezy like T.I. is using Iggy.

I didn't take it as him dissing Iggy's music. Just trying to get her to understand white privilege and why Azealia said some of the things she did in that hot 97 interview.

Again it wouldve been better if he just hit up Tip and her offline. The Twitter way just isnt the move even if you trying to be positive especially the way Bronson and Banks were trolling each other going nowhere...Banks will never win against Bronson on trolling. Its pretty much impossible especially with his fanbase chiming in

Who outside of Drake and Macklemore?

There are a myriad of younger artists who need this history lesson,
but lately it's the hot thing to do to 'teach Iggy' about the history
of hip-hop and its cultural origins.

At this point everyone seems to be stunting for likes, retweets,
and reposts of long-winded think-pieces about cultural appropriation -
but this seems to me more about inflaming the social media spheres
than a real genuine teaching moment.

but apparently Chief Keef didnt need a lesson lol

You really dont get why she of all ppl needed this lesson

I guess this what happens when you listen to hip hop completely out of the context it was created

I like you assume u know me or what I listen to lol

But we'll keep pretending she's "on top" as if that is the reason what happened to Drake's lesson he a foreigner with a souther accent lol Cool story bro.

He set the precedent for this minstrel shit


the idea that a fucking foreigner could rap with an adopted accent was unheard of before.



congrats on the success of your city and shit. One wonders why he didn't come out spitting with an emphasis on his Canadian accent. Baffling tbh

kinda like Drake...

smh

and she's not doing the Macklemore "I know I'm getting the accolades because I'm white and it's not fair to the Black artists who are just as good if not better than me" thing.

90% of the other artists in hip hop are doing. She just happens to be white.

90% of the other artists in hip hop are doing. She just happens to be white.

her responses to some of the criticisms is what is really making this a big deal

macklemore handled it way better...

which is why people largely dropped it...eventually

but iggy actually responding is what is continuing to drive this story...

everyone is contributing to the social media mayhem and i largely think this history less is a bit self-important and useless but i'm not mad at it...

there's no way to reasonably combat the bullshit stance that she and others like her take so confidently and defensively...

just be grateful...praise that alabaster skin...take them grammys...and shrug it all the way to the bank

but there are going to be frustrated and upset people who are simply want to be acknowledged...how they do that is unimportant honestly...far less important than the actual fucking humility involved in recognizing just how fucked up and unfair shit is

be my last series of tweets pretty much but"

what's up with that? tip was how i first learned of twitter, as linked through here, circa a swizz beatz album listening party.

I didn't know what it was for, I just wanted info on his upcoming album (The Renaissance). It's come a long way.

i thought it was a cool novelty that a famous person was updating people on his day

I cant trust anyone who is dismissive when it comes time to stand up for blackness

i would argue it's been on a fast track to uncool for a while. pretty much any music i really cared about in my life is uncool to like, but i still love it. public figures still rap, so you can hear rapping on popular songs, but i don't feel like hip-hop is seen as cool anymore by the masses. it's probably cool to middle aged and old people who are behind the times, and it's eternally cool to us music people, but i'm going to have to disagree with hip-hop being widely perceived as cool in 2014.

the youth move the direction of hip hop

which is why Hot Nigga ran shit this year

what i'm getting at is more than just the term itself falling out of favor but also a distance from what hip-hop was said to be "about" for most of its existence (as opposed to a particular sound). people rapped on early to mid '90s club/dance songs, but few considered it hip-hop. likewise rage against the machine and some of the later nu-metal bands had rappers instead of singers. some form of rapping is still popular and thus "cool," but i'm not sure a lot of what's popular is still hip-hop. that's why some of the dogpiling on iggy is over the top to me because she is just one of many, albeit someone who doesn't do herself many favors with what she says in her defense.

And crying over her success.

A sucessful white rapper come along once decade.

I mean we've had one male and one female (Macklemore and Iggy) since eminem in the mid 90s.

Their making catchy pop songs over hip hop beats for middle anerica is irrelevant to her success.

If only it were that simple.....

just curious to hear where your understanding of the subject is at

Is this what its come to black folks?

actually really did need it whether it actually sinks in or not. but millions of ppl got schooled by that message.

me start again'...and then started @ -ing her so THIS way people would actually take heed.

would've schooled her already. We'll see how effective this is in years to come. It's good to see Q-tip staying active and involved.

The right Tip schooled her.

Glad they have enough respect for each other not to let some twitter shit come between that.

At the same time. That's all that is.

Nope. The jig is up.

That's part of it but him and Tip are cool too.

>and when he won his first big award he made it a point to

He raps eloquently about himself, his life, and his truths without doing a black-cent and mimicking what he thinks a rapper is.

That shit is genuine. Iggy ain't and that's why she's getting flamed.

i mean....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5otbXRiacyI

maybe she will stop putting out that garbage she sings and raps and calling it hip hop. She's caricature of it as well.
making it worse, she supposedly has all these emcee skills but she still chose the Katy Perry pop style and cashed out.

ATCQ my fave group ever too, took my love of hiphop to another level, but is she the only one who's pimped the game before? This is getting ridiculous, and guess what Q-Tip... all you just did was HELP HER CAREER MORE YOU FUCKING IDIOT



@rob_starrk

Q-Tip's intent was to hurt her career tho??

I don't think he was even remotely mad at her. And even if he was mad at her status or appropriation, I don't think the whole intent of him doing this was to stifle her career.

@rob_starrk

She got grammy noms fam. A few tweets from Q-Tip, who a lot of young people don't even know, isn't gaining her any more exposure.

@rob_starrk

who still won't support her when/if they hear her material.

who hip-hop heads look to for validation.

he's only validating her

and with so many more important issues to focus on too

SMH!

i'm pretty sure he's on the side of feeling like she has the right to exist within the hip hop realm
his approach is a perfect example of NOT trying to tear someone down just bc of their race.
he approached it very diplomatically and i don't see anything wrong with that.

i mean i agree on some who cares about the bitch anyway
i mostly ignore her existence
but q-tip as an elder in this game and a pioneer of hip hop felt it necessary to educate rather than just diss her
and there's no harm in that IMO
and as been stated before it wasn't a private message so
anyone reading who might be in the same boat as iggy also got a few lessons.

edited to add: i don't fk with her and think she's a culture vulture but that doesn't mean qtip was wrong to address her this way. because now she nor her supporters can say she wasn't given the lowdown

another platinum post on OkayPlayer for a hip-hop icon making comments about Igloo Australia

there's better ways for him to utilize his space

The Grammys are not to be taken seriously. It's a hop skip and a jump from the People's Choice Awards.

Banks fucked up by focusing on that. Grammy doesn't give a shit whether it's Pop or Rap-- she's talking fast over a beat, that's rap to them, lol. Q-Tip should've tweeted his history lesson to the Grammy voting committee.

Regarding Iggy, she should probably know at this point that any response ever is a loss. She is dropping insanely catchy hits in a genre that is predominantly black, so anyone irritated by her will shit on her as often as possible until her star fades. She needs to focus on this tour and her next album. She responded to a far less popular musician, and now she's got her beef tied in with a rap legend. Again, she will never win this cultural appropriation debate. Ever. Simply don't respond. Or, if you do, say "I love hip hop and always have." The end. Do not engage further.

I saw her perform at Made in America Fest too. She puts on a *really* good show. I'm not even a fan, but I was very entertained.

people will argue about the fact that grammy's bring more looks and revenue to artists
which is true but if you don't realize by now that the grammy's are rigged then i don't even
know what to tell you.

They garner lucrative bonuses for artists, and the Grammys have been the most prominent celebration of musical achievement for years. Your comment is akin to dismissing the Oscars as insignificant and not a true marker of cinematic and acting quality. These institutions are part of the problem, and you are essentially telling people to stop worrying about them because they will never recognize the contributions of the real artists in this genre, who just happen to be black and have been repeatedly snubbed by our cultural institutions. Sort of a tone deaf comment, especially when you try to rationalize this oversight with a comment about her stage show.

'voted by the numbers of the people' institution.

at all.

we are talking voting committees with agendas.

@rob_starrk

Grammy's are still serious enough son.. let's not act like most musicians wouldn't love a Grammy..

Again and people have spoken on this a ton of times and I have spoken to multiple Grammy committee's about this.

Join your local chapter if you qualify. Simple. Join and vote. You can't be mad at "the old white people" voting when you haven't paid your Grammy dues. There are chapters with a bunch of old 80's R&B black people running it to and they ALSO don't know what the newest most legit shit should be to vote for..

Shit MC Lyte was the head of the LA Chapter from 2011-13. This is not some club you can't get in...

So participate.

Bc she has made comments recently that give the impression that she doesn't know much about HH's history and why a rapper in her position is at times expected to take sides on certain political issues.

I think if Iggy wants to avoid politics she can but she'd do well to understand the context. She can choose not to speak on __ bc she feels it's not her place but she should be careful about the way in which she expresses her desire to remain silent. She shouldn't be unnecessarily flippant or dismissive. She can turn off the braggadocia for a hot minute and be real.

Not only is a white person immediately suspect in a genre created by black artists, but she also assumed a Southern American accent, and she is from Australia. Plus, she previously tried unsuccessfully to be a pop star, so her claim that she has always been dedicated to hip-hop is suspect.

Banks called her out for remaining silent on the issues driving the recent protests and demonstrations calling for better policing and more equitable treatment in the criminal justice system for all defendants. Iggy's response indicated she doesn't understand why a rapper might be expected to speak on the protests.

Banks probably called homegirl out bc she mad/jealous that Iggy gets by on white privilege while performing relatively poorly. But I don't think that's a main reason why QTip 'educated' her. But maybe.

think that there would be such a comprehensive attack on her without those other conditions. I mean, not many white rap artists have been political, and I can't remember many catching the flak that Iggy is. Calling her out on her looks and sh*t

"thanks for your kind introspect, q-tip" and K.I.M.

But you can expect plenty of clapback if/when each time she is fired upon.

To me that speaks massive volumes.

This is the douchiest #actually of all time

If he really wanted to build something with her, that could have been done face to face (or even over the phone) in a setting conducive to positive interaction

Firing off an "Idiots Guide to HipHop" in a public one way Twitter blast seems more like an attempt to shame than build

on Twitter, publicly.

>If he really wanted to build something with her, that could

i dunno that he hasn't also reached out to her privately for a person-to-person chat of some sort.

>Firing off an "Idiots Guide to HipHop" in a public one way
>Twitter blast seems more like an attempt to shame than build

if he really wanted to shame her he would've done so w/different language. the man is a professional wordsmith - he knows what he's doing when it comes to that kind of biz. if he wanted to shame her he could've chosen more fiery diction. he didn't - and that's b/c i don't think he wanted to shame her.

No...

Elder statesman in the past of just been defensive and dismissive.. Talked some shit called it wack and did nothing else..

He is attempting to let her know this isn't a personal attack. That when people are mad it's deeper than just "I hate that bitch"

> That when people are mad it's deeper than just "I hate that

show where he came off as condescending

The whole thing just came off wankish to me

If not you, great

I was just asking if anyone else felt the same way, im not trying to convince anyone of anything

no worries though

This type of thing isnt conducive to building, its just lecturing

And doing it on twitter makes it look like grandstanding

committed to issues of race, class, and culture

as you are when the pendulum swings through idiocy against science and medicine on these boards

and like others have said no, Tip does not come off like a condescending dick, at all, #actually.

The OKP consensus about race and class and their relation to power in America is pretty much congruous with my own. If i am posting something contrarian its because ive taken issue with a specific detail (like ppl telling their kids that their white friends *will* bounce on them in tough times), or i dont think the poster im replying to is looking at things from more than one perspective. That other perspective may not even be one i agree with, and if thats intellectually dishonest to you, youre probably right to some degree. I can say with 100% certainty that if i were involved in a race and class discussion on a message board full of WASPs "intellectually dishonest" would be the nicest thing i would get called.

For another, my comments in posts like this tend to relate to the principals involved in them. For me, thats Q Tip, Iggy, and Twitter. Please understand that if im not posting about this situation through a race and class lens, its intentionally so because im focusing on choices made by the principals.

I hope you understand that i dont care if im seen here as being willfully ignorant of the effects of race and class on society, because i grew up with them all around me and im comfortable with who i am as a person. I only replied to you because i consistently really enjoy your posting.

We can tell you don't care
Hence your consistently questionable replies
Bigots tend to be comfortable in their views as well
Not sure what the point of that part of your statement statement was except to ground yourself in your willful ignorance by claiming some off board knowledge
It doesn't work like that on here.

If you mean its questionable that someone wpuld say that, i agree with you. If you are referring to my response to it, im not sure what to tell you. SoWhat's reaction to it was almost exactly the same as mine, so there were other rational people with the same feelings.

>Your point?

What? My "brainwashed" POV is a complete unknown to you. I know this because I've never bothered to explain any of it to you, and have no plans to.

>"...I prefer to post in a bubble?"

Thats one interpretation i suppose. I would say im more interested in the choices people make.

>We can tell you don't care

You keep using this word and i think you should just say what you mean so i can laugh it it.

The point of that statement is that if you want to call me racist, or even funnier, actually think i *am* racist...ok, whatever. We both know that what you actually know about me could fit comfortably into the space between bonded atoms.

People on THESE VERY BOARDS will even use it in a discussion about who's the better
artist or why someone has a better catalog. Negros acting like they aren't addicted
to white validation, LOL. So transparent.

-Iggy does not give a shit, stop trying.

-Qtip Had good intentions but he is absolutely wasting his time.

Any thoughts you guys have outside of this is just your own personal horeshit getting involved in this situation. Again
Iggy doesnt care
Qtip cares but should of kept it moving.

if a handful of folks (be they blk, white, whatever) learn anything at all from what q-tip laid down - it was worth it, imo

I honestly think Iggy does care. That's why she's silent right now IMO. She's young and doesn't know what to say. This is the first time somebody addressed her in this manner. It's usually somebody attacking her which makes it easier to respond.

Not everybody has to care.

She didn't ask for a lesson and she's not gonna admit that she doesn't know anything about hip-hop history. She very well could be knowledgeable about the music and still chooses to make crappy Music.

The Boom bap 90 BPM real hip hop vs. The Bady Boy Shiny suit stuff.

This just has the added layer of race in it. I'm not a fan of Iggy, but she is hip hop. She should, however know the history and she should have respect for it.

Is it a bit corny for her to just say hey I'm gonna do what these folks in Atlanta are doing and really contribute her own unique contribution artistically? Yes. But let's be real....Sugar Hill Gang did the same thing. They copied the real rappers from The Bronx, right down to stealing rhymes. This ain't nothing new.

I'm convinced a good amount of his followers exist just to antagonize him

He loves egging them on too

I haven't asked him but I wouldn't be surprised if he is trying to do anything in his power to get these people to unfollow him..

"Arm Leg Leg Arm How you doin?" (c)T510

Cause yall dont know me and im finna have a merry Christmas, fuck yall!

BUT I think many young (black) artists similarly making the same kinda trash music probably feel the same exact way and don't give a fuck either.

Not even trolling, but WHY is she such a catalyst for ire? If you don't like her music don't buy it don't listen to it. (Btw don't agree she's specifically sayin fuck Qtip)

Basically Black people are mad b/c not only are our "talented" artists struggling (I out talented in quotes b/c I don't listen to Banks to know if she's good or not) but we're mad at white people for buying a white girl's pop/rap albums....what the fuck is the point

What do folks want her to do enroll at Howard? Does Iggy come off entitled, yes, but can that same argument not be made for Banks acting like she's the gatekeeper of the 4 tenents and how the've evolved?

AND when's the last time anybody in MMG or on YM saluted the pioneers? This is ridiculous lmao

>Not even trolling, but WHY is she such a catalyst for ire? If
>you don't like her music don't buy it don't listen to it. (Btw

Maybe not but she damn sure dosent give af about what he's saying and lumped him in with the masses that are finger wagging her about what they think she dosent know.

Yea I dunno what they want her to do cause black ppl damn sure arent the ones buying her music and enabling this.


>What do folks want her to do enroll at Howard? Does Iggy come
>off entitled, yes, but can that same argument not be made for
>Banks acting like she's the gatekeeper of the 4 tenents and

The same exact argument can be applied to any 23-24 year old who thinks they have the world figured out. That's just how ppl in this age group act lol she just happens to be a white one.

>AND when's the last time anybody in MMG or on YM saluted the
>pioneers? This is ridiculous lmao

They kinda don't and that's the root issue here. A lot of our own artists don't even awknowledge or care about the pioneers but we expect others too, and get upset when they don't?

Iggy just making the same kinda trash music that Young Thug and all dem making and T.I saw an opportunity to capitalize off her whiteness her doing so. Are there other young black talented artists making quality music that he could have tried to give a platform to...sure, but he didn't cause he dosent give a fuck about the state of hip hop either. He cosigning Iggy and jumping on tracks with trashy artists like Young Thug too for the $$$$.

They asked this nigga Young Thug what he thought about Ferguson and he said " uh right now we iced out getting money out here, and that's what we doing." Lmao

i dig her attitude in response to this drama too. and i agree it's pretty HH of her. LOL

>Not even trolling, but WHY is she such a catalyst for ire? If

This tells me that you aren't listening to the music or the interviews. Rozay throws little lines in there to let you know he knows all the time. Of course its surrounded by a bunch of BS but its there. Wale shouts em out and Stalley had De La on his album. I don't listen to Meek so I can't speak on him.

I'm Black so I'm not understanding your joke. Sorry

I guess when it didn't work out she studied Da Brat's "Funkdafied" and switched gears.

her debut where she uses a young black boy as a prop as well as two teen girls while she repeats "pussy" and promotes drugs shirts.

And sidenote I have just as much hate in my heart for lil wayne, nicki, rick ross, and any other trash rapping about the same shit.

People have gone out of their way to fudge the timeline in order to power their agenda against Iggy, but this video was not made *before* she became a rapper.

She had already put out "Pu$$y" and other shit with her southern rap accent but when it was not catching on, she went to Europe and tried some other shit for a while before coming back and continuing with her rap shit.

Your mileage may vary on whether or not that makes her any less of an "inauthentic" trend-hopping phony but at least it has the simple benefit of being truth.

lol..

I've already seen this.. What AFKAP says is what it is..

Iggy is a pretty precarious success story.. up until like February of this year it almost didnt happen.. The label had no clue where she would land when they dropped the album.. They barely paid for videos, promo any of that

The real power behind all of this is Sarah Stennett and turn first. They were able to right the ship after the Grand Hustle thing kinda went south. The smartest thing they did was build a real base in the UK so that if America never took off at least she would have an ability to scale overseas and try again the next album (see their other artist Rita Ora).

But Fancy worked.. so here we are

It *was* pretty condescending but I wouldn't say it's "douchey" per se because I'm sure Tip meant it from a sincere place.

(Perhaps the biggest problem is the fact that this "Hip-Hop History Lesson" everybody's raving about was factually incorrect and agenda-fueled.)

As much as I hate to have to agree with Iggy, it WAS patronizing, and I really wish Q-Tip would not have done that (while at the same time I'm amazing he spent all that time breaking it down into 140-word chunks)

.

I mean, you could class it as "black struggle" in the sense that one could loosely define all black expression in America as being a reaction to oppression... but the earliest hip-hop was about partying and snorting coke. Cats were literally rapping about nothing... rapping about the shoes they wore, how many chicks they banged, what sports team they liked.

It was pretty empty textually... much like Iggy's music.

It wasn't until "The Message" that hip-hop started showing awareness of its social surroundings... and not until the late 80s that it self-consciously styled itself as an instrument for the struggle.

the ranting of an unmedicated lunatic.

He's right, though.

"The Message" (1982) is acclaimed as the first socially-conscious hip-hop record, though there were a couple that came before it like Brother D's "How We Gonna Make The Black Nation Rise" (1980)

http://youtu.be/S-HQR2-s1J4

But most hip-hop before that was really about vacuous partying and all-American consumerism and consumption. I mean... it's not by accident by so many rappers had words like "Blow" and "Ski" in their names...

Double Dutch Bus, Planet Rock, Egyptian Lover, etc...

The Message changed all of that.

It's like running around telling everyone Rosa Parks wasn't the first woman to NOT move from her seat. While true, it's just not that big of a deal when you look at the big picture.

If we stayed on that hippity, hop, bop, da diggity beat, style of rap... who the hell knows if rap would still be around.

And there were also a lot more vinyl releases than you are assuming.

And it's not like after The Message most hip-hop immediately became devoted to "the black struggle" either.

I was the 9 year old kid standing by the DJ nagging him to play Egyptian Lover 3 times in a row.

Part of the problem with hip hop history is people who weren't alive at the time keep trying to tell US what it felt like or how these songs were received when they dropped.

When The Message came out and people recited the lyrics it was a totally different "message" than anything we had every heard before.

>Part of the problem with hip hop history is people who weren't

Please do not mistake me for one of these youngbloods.

>I mean... it's
>not by accident by so many rappers had words like "Blow" and
>"Ski" in their names...


I've never heard anyone use that as a term, and don't really know any og cokeheads so out in the dark here. My guess is "ski > snow > coke"

>My guess is
>"ski > snow > coke"

Since 1976

Cats that are from the early 80s know that term SKI very well.

as i said over there, 1982's 'The Message' is rightly included as a seminal record in HH's origin. b/c in 1982 HH was still developing. it was still originating.

plus, as was pointed out over there, at those parties the DJs DID play records w/deeper meanings than let's get high and dance and fuck (like Last Poets records) alongside those party records you're referencing.

I was alive and aware when these records dropped and we had no idea what the hell was going on but we loved every minute of it.

When we heard The Message and learned the lyrics the energy was different from Double Dutch or Planet Rock.

into hip-hop's canon.

But the Poets were not a part of hip-hop, nor were their records that influential on the development of hip-hop at the outset.

Well... that's not completely true. Their political "Last Poets" records were not, but what WAS was a side project recorded under the name Lightnin' Rod

Now THAT was a cornerstone of early hip-hop

records played are wrong?

and you were at all of the parties and heard every record played so you're in a position to say what was what.

right on.

still, Tip is right in what he said to Iggy. HH has social commentary at its origin. if he indicated that HH's original stuff was ALL the way social commentary then he was off. but if he indicated that it was in part social commentary then i agree based on what i've heard and seen from ppl who were there at the time.

but of course I don't claim to know everything, and am open to being schooled.

Could you point me to any such recorded testimony?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4o8TeqKhgY

^ my main point all along has been that this record from 1982 is a part of HH's origin b/c HH's origin didn't end in 1977/8/9.

the record is widely cited as seminal. i remember hearing it and how awesome it was. it was one of the first examples of HH i remember hearing.

the idea to put some social commentary in a rap came from somewhere. i would be shocked if this studio recording was the first time in world history that anyone had rapped socio-politics over a beat. especially since as far as i know most raps back then started out as shit MCs would rap over breaks at a party. to me this says some MC or MCs likely rapped this kind of shit over breaks at a party. but maybe that didn't happen. maybe this collection of MCs was divinely inspired and came up w/this idea to get political over a beat basically out of a vacuum. even if that happened i'd still agree w/what Tip said to Iggy based solely on this here record. b/c 1982 is still HH's origin.

I've already addressed what an anomaly "The Message" was... even AFTER 1982.

But I don't think there's any need for us to argue about it. Let's just table it,

truth is truly stranger than fiction

I like nice things and will buy nice things for my "him" if we are on that level. I will buy that playstation 4 or them new jorns boo, no prollem.

I don't know where yall be getting all these assumptions from.

But the point I was really making is that niggas love calling women gold diggers and opportunist for liking men that buy them nice things, meanwhile they want the same shit too. And theres nothing wrong with that, on either side.

just like you know buying a car doesn't equal a ring.

I'm trying to get my Deejboram on right now so fight me.

Ain't no trucing in here nigglet.

and how niggas buy you drinks in the club

you just want to be caked
you dont want to pull 60hrs weeks to buy that Louie clutch
you want some random nigga who live in atlanta to cop for you

>and how niggas buy you drinks in the club

I'd hardly call that flossing or floss worthy lol now if I find a nigga to buy some red bottoms or some shit like that then I might have to say some shit.

>you just want to be caked
>you dont want to pull 60hrs weeks to buy that Louie clutch
>you want some random nigga who live in atlanta to cop for you


No not really I don't mind working 60 hr weeks, at the job that I rightfully DESERVE, which ain't at the post office. Tis all.
