Even though I
cannot stand Azebra (No Money In The) Banks and his many homophobic and
racist outbursts. And even though he does not know how to express
himself without making himself seem like a psychotic idiot, certain
points that he was making were strong ones. Itchy Areola is NOT
excellent and yet her whiteness (a.k.a privilege) has caused her to
progress far faster in a genre of music that she does not understand
(nor cares to understand). Her rhymes are sub-par and her flow reminds
me of a busy soccer mom who forgot to take her pills.
Rap
is supposed to be metaphoric, creative, smart, sneaky, in your face and
it is supposed to tell a story. These nursery rhymes that Igloo
Australia is serving the general public are overrated. But, because of
how she looks, her material is pushed further because it appeals to the
majority. The majority then sees this horror and will slowly but surely
start to think that unsatisfactory ghostwriting is what hip-hop really
is. The face of hip hop is being warped and I can completely understand
why real fans of the genre are upset. (And of course, Iggy’s not the
only one who’s been doing this).
But
unsurprisingly, the one person who’s defending Ugly Urethra the most
fiercely is her check signer: T.I. himself. He went on
twitter to try and sound scholarly but ended up looking as desperate as
his wife is for a new face. I’m not going to get into a lot of his
poorly written tweets but he did say that “not all white people out to
steal our culture…there are some that merely wish to contribute to it”
Ok idiot TIP, here are a few tips.
Eggy
Azalea can’t contribute to a culture created by people that she hates.
And she’s proven this time and time again with her old racist tweets and
her “runaway slave master” line.
Iffy
Azalea cannot contribute to a culture that she does not care to
understand. As weird and controversial as Eminem was, he got it, he
understood it. (Which is why he had a less difficult time being accepted
by the hip hop world than this pin up doll does).
Trashy
Azoology can’t contribute to a culture/genre that prides itself on
skill and technique if she does not have any! I’ve created poorly
produced “rap” songs on my Youtube channel that required more skill than
it took to make her whole album. I’m a poet by nature but the fact that
my lines were more impressive than her whole discography should say a
lot about the fact that this testosterone-filled, oak-tree-built puppet
doesn’t have any lyrical power.
Honestly,
I wish that T.I. would just tell the truth. Figgy AZincFace is making
him money (as little as that may be with those flopped sales) and he
wants to conserve his coins. Someone has to pay for his remedial English
classes right? If T.I. admitted that, I think I would be more
comfortable. Because in my opinion, if Iggy was signed to someone else,
he would be dissing her all the time. It’s funny how rappers brag about
being so real but as soon as money is flashed in front of their faces
they are not about that life. He knew she was a girl that favored what
society considered to be beautiful and he knew that she would captivate
the majority audience (even though no one bought that album but I’m as
asleep as T.I.’s spell check). You mean to tell me that T.I. could find
no other up and coming rapper (white or black) that understood hip-hop
and had better bars than Iggy?
Put
Trashy Azoboomafoo’s ass in the pop category and then the world will be
a better place. If you just snatch her out of the categories in which
people tell stories, and write musical poetry and create social
commentary and have nice flows then I think everyone could breathe
easier. But for as long as this girl is out here presenting a dumbed
down image of what hip-hop is NOT, there are going to be a lot of pissed
off people out there.
