Aside from general boredom with her overexposure, the general Iggy Azalea detractor probably falls into one of two categories. They’re either baffled at what sounds like a total lack of self-awareness regarding cultural appropriation or simply over it.

It’s a story that’s been unfolding in the occasional interview and via Twitter for the better part of two months. The good thing about Twitter is that you can read Iggy Azalea’s dumbest quotes about Rap culture so far and judge for yourself.

We’re not calling old girl a liar, but there aren’t too many (if any) new artists powerful enough to make the president of a label drop another artist.
Not caring about the distinction between representing or being called Rap or Pop is part of the problem.
If it felt that way, maybe that was a bit of a warning sign? Just saying.
Is someone really “making it racial” if they’re pointing out a historical fact?
These kinds of tweets and dozens of other seemingly clueless reactions are the reason people assume you have no knowledge of the culture. Also, additional loss of points for throwing shade at an OG like Q-Tip.
You might want to prove you deserve to profit off of the culture while continuing to have no knowledge of it though.
It sounds like someone never considered the prospect that people didn’t want their music “blended” in the first place.
It actually would, hence the multiple requests for a dialogue.
Ebola was still trending, North Korea was blamed for the Sony hack, and there were 13 air strikes in Iraq. Nah, we were just trolling Iggy Azalea for a few giggles.
A positive judgment or a tepid tolerance?
The devil’s work? So the battle of good and evil is really coming down to the woman who made “Fancy?”
