"once again female bodies are fodder for gamers to unleash their latent violent sexual desires...." - Quick! Sarkesian to the rescue!

"disadvantage" only because I haven't listened to everything she's put out, but I don't think that's necessary to have an informed opinion. And from what I've heard and seen and read, she's influenced by black culture not misappropriating it. It's a charge I think is sometimes irresponsibly leveled against certain…

Wow thanks for putting that quote here, an awesome read. Exchanges like this are why I post comments. I'm not here to dig in and fight for only my position, because it's better to learn something new.

I'm black, if that matters to you. And I've been listening to hiphop since like birth, although not as much lately. It's subjective ultimately, but yeah the rap style vocally (not lyrically) sounded the same. If you disagree, next time try not to be an asshole about it.

Well it certainly seems your up on your rap game right now. I'll have to defer to you, I don't listen to as much rap as I used to, and definitely not current stuff. Yes, the big names will eventually tackle some issues. I'm a huge Kanye fan, and it's a lot of why I respect him. I would think having some depth would be…

I haven't listened to Iggy's music. I bet she doesn't engage the difficult aspects of black culture, but maybe she does have a few "deep" tracks about history. Are you saying she's shallow? Because that's 75-95% of rap unfortunately. (for a bit of context, I was unaware of her racist tweets at the start)

yeah, I'm against this notion that because she's white and successful at hiphop: 1 she needs a black history lesson, 2 she only got that way because she's white, 3 all her critics are right and proper (looking at you Banks) or 4 she is disrespectful for wearing her black culture influences on her sleeve. I'm not a fan…

I was willing to respect her style only because I read her bio and it said she moved from Australia to ATL in her teens, lived on the streets on ATL and learned how to rap there. And King of the South T.I. (I'm a big fan of his) vouched for her.

"He wasn't being "too nice," he was being classy."

You know, when I first heard Fancy on the radio I thought, "Da Brat is back! Why is she calling herself Iggy?"

Well you finally did it. You got a old nerdy Kotaku reader like me on a Jalopnik page. Well done, well done.

yikes, okay. well, if that's the case, then Q-Tip was a little too nice don't you think? and hopefully this hurts her sales and all that.

I'll give you that: if she turns out the be racist, that's one thing (she deserves no defense for being racist). But that's not what Q-Tip is addressing. What's the point of him saying that to a racist? He even said "this isn't a chastisement at all" It seems he was more like trying to educate a well-meaning but…

That's a scary-ass GIF. But the question still stands.

OK now we're getting somewhere. "She's a modern minstrel show" Blackface, huh? That's a heavy charge. Did you know Iggy moved from Down Under to the ATL in her teens and lived in America since? When you live in an area you pick up the slang and speech mannerisms. You claim she "acts black", but can't it be that she is…

Ouch. that's in bad taste. although she did say she didn't mean she was a slave owner and that "master" was meant to apply to "mastering the past"... IDK, I don't listen to Iggy or think she's a particularly good artist.

Rather pointless. "Blah blah blah hip-hop blah blah blah slavery blah blah blah white privilege"

This site can't stay consistent. Most of the time, white people have a near mystical powerful voice which should be used to elevate the less privileged. And Iggy disparages protestors and makes light of a black death. That's just "being an idiot" now? What happened to all that great power great responsibility mantra?…
