Hip-Hop has an issue with Iggy Azalea and she deserves it

iggy

Iggy Azalea has been running hip-hop numerically for the last year with a platinum selling single and multiple grammy nominations. The hip-hop community now has really looked at Iggy and can see that she is building her career by stealing black musical sounds and using her white look to sell big to the masses. This is all fine but what people feel isn’t fine is the fact that she does nothing to actually give back to the hip-hop community. Some black hip-hop artists just aren’t standing for it anymore like Azealia Banks who called Iggy out many times over twitter. Other artist like Tyler, The Creator,  Q-Tip, and Solange Knowles all defended Banks. Q-Tip had the best message to Iggy delivering it over twitter in the form of 40 tweets telling Iggy that Hip-Hop is “Fun” but it should never lose touch with its socio-political movement/culture at its roots.
