A black woman with rap “skills” as horrendous as hers wouldn’t have gotten one toe inside a recording studio. Her whiteness (aka novelty) was the only reason she had ANY career. 

Almost a decade of work yet she still can’t rap.

“It doesn’t matter how hard you work at something if you’re bad at it.”

Uhhh, black women are told they are not welcome constantly, from all different sources in all corners of American society. Including in hip hop.

She wasn’t told to go pop bc she was white. it was because she literally could not rap. Her being white and austrailian just exposed her mediocrity more so.

Ohhhh my god. Look, I don’t know how I can possibly explain it better than Clover has, but I’ll try to be succinct:

#AllIgloosMatter

It doesn’t matter how hard you work at something if you’re bad at it.

There will always be people on Jezebel who will defend any white woman over anything it seems.

“Would a black woman who wanted to rap have been told to do pop instead?”

...and she was still bad at it. That’s what you seem to be missing.

There’s always one... If that black woman proved over and over again that she couldn’t rap, it’s entirely possible they would have told her to pursue a career in pop. Not to mention the fact that if that black Australian woman tried to launch a country music career by appropriating Southern culture, she would face a…

Well researched and written. The biggest takeaway is that she should have listened to the people around her. Even the song you posted in the article, had she dropped the blaccent and gone with Valley girl ala kesha in the first part of her career that would have been a cute little underground sleeper hit.

All through this article producers and directors are trying to get her to go pop instead of hip-hop, and when she finally does try to do hip-hop everyone holds it against her that she is white.

Nobody is crying any tears for this poor, beleaguered white girl who was handed a music career based on her whiteness, while a few people tried to steer her away from the cultural appropriation she so needed to commit. Fuck her.

None of us have Tidal. We don’t know the answer to that.

I can’t be 100% sure of anything here, but I can’t disagree. For a notoriously private couple who wouldn’t even confirm they were married for years, the airing of some seriously dirty laundry for downloads strikes me as...mercenary. They may very well be deeply in love. But their unwillingness to discuss their…

Dude, you and Beyonce signed a contract to become the most powerful couple in music together. Nothing about this is or ever was real, including the accusations of cheating or the contrite response to them (and at least one of her pregnancies to boot).

I find it funny that Beyonce and Jay Z are so hung up on Becky, and he even tells her to let it go.
