Or you can come with me any time. I volunteer all year round in Broward FL helping inner city youth and the homeless. That doesn't magically make you or me better than anyone else.

I would never in a million years claim to be better than anybody.That is not even the way I approach interactions with people. I am all about just sharing knowledge for personal and community betterment, and that includes myself. I do what I can, and I give you props for helping the youth. We need more brothers doing it.
 
Mesousa, you're saying TI is displaying coonish behavior, and I agree, to some extent. But every time I see you post, you be sounding like you sell bean pies on the weekends...

Is this you in real life?

Don't really know much about either of them, but after checking some youtube videos, the white one gotta be one of the lamest and corniest appropriations of black culture since Vanilla Ice.

There wouldn't be a civilized discussion pondering if he/she has a point, I can tell you that much. There would likely be demands that their record label drop the artist immediately, all future concert dates to be cancelled, and all albums to be removed from iTunes and store shelves. Followed by comments about how Country music as a whole is just a bunch of racist, white trash rednecks

There's zero tolerance when the roles are reversed. Double standard.

There are millions of people who would agree with you and that makes me weep.

Lol it comes off like that but I'm nothing like that. Most women I have dated have even been white.

Welp I knew nothing about her yesterday. Today I'm a fan. She sees a lot of things as they really are and will learn eventually how to vent those frustrations in more constructive ways and in places where she can better articulate what she feels and why. I hope she listens at some point and starts to use Twitter less for such things. The low character count makes it easy to misunderstand your thoughts, and certainly doesn't offer the opportunity to fully qualify those thoughts.

But yea in most things discussed here...she's not wrong. Occasionally inelegant, but rarely wrong.

I've seen it multiple times in this thread and I don't get t: how the fuck can you watch that Azealia Banks interview on Hot97 and come out a fan or liking her?

Even if you isolate the concerns she's talking about, she does it in a godawful manner and doesn't add anything but negativity to the conversation, and no, her age is not an excuse for her to use racism or irrelevant pot shots to justify her viewpoints against racism, and she blatantly plays the race card (as she has done her entire career) to rationalize her irrational tirade against Iggy and other white artists that started over a sharing a name. It's concentrated, but contrived radicalism. Tears one second, she's completely good the next.

Am I crazy or are people identifying with her vile and hypocritical viewpoints that are rooted in publicity goals and hatred? Why are people championing this shit? She's one year older than me and seems to have the maturity of someone half my age.

This. Any point she might have is lost amongst the bullshit she's spewing, and I can't speak for anyone else but I don't shift through shit for nuggets of gold.

This is almost exactly like someone linking some segment by some known racist about how he feels about race in the US and then telling people "there are nuggets of truth in what he's saying".

Naaaaah.

It's a mystery to me too.

I get that she's passionate in the interview, but...mad bigoted people were passionate and wrong as well. That shit is no excuse. lol

sooo much this.

Comes across like a concentrated manipulator at best and straight up manic at worst.
 
The main beef I have with Banks is how completely disingenuous she seems about the so called activist mantle she tries to don. On the one hand she makes a fair point about cultural appropriation, but on the other hand she's out like... Start from the bottom then up, fucking twitter

The type of dissonance you get with her message is so warped it's absurd. Nevermind calling dudes shoe shining coons, defending Bill Cosby and the fact that she burns seemingly every bridge in the industry she can get her hands on. Nothing about her to me seems to indicate any level of genuine concern beyond getting that attention.

Fuck Iggy too, she's got her own issues, but absolutely none of them have caused any problems to Banks' career that she didn't start herself. That girl is toxic, and the message she brought in that interview while worth talking about feels best discussed in a civil manner away from her vitriol.

Iggy is trash, Banks is trash. Let's get that out the way first.

Anyone who has listened to more than a couple recent Bronson songs knows he doesn't sound like Ghostface.

Finally, Banks is a bitter piece of shit. She destroyed her own career by burning every bridge imaginable, now wants to blame it all on racism. Fuck her and everyone who supports her bullshit. If you like her music that's fine, but if you agree with her race shit you lost. White people making hip hop is NOT cultural appropriation, nor is it stealing. Hip hop is art and culture, anyone can fuck with it. There are plenty of dope white hip hop artists - Alchemist, El-p, Kno, etc. Iggy is not a hip hop artist, she's a failed model who decided to rap as a last ditch effort to get famous. She can't rap, can't sing, can't dance, has a shitty personality, and is overall just trash. But she's popular because she acquired a couple dope hooks from Charlie XYZ or whatever the fuck her name is, and because she's white.

Finally on the Grammys...who fucking cares. The Grammys are decided by old white people who don't know shit about multiple genres of music - especially rap and metal. Elton John could release a rap album and win best rap album because the voters would be familiar with him. I remember in 2006 or 2007 when Ludacris won best rap album over The Roots' Game Theory, one of the best rap albums of the decade. They don't know shit about rap, who gives a shit. And yes, Iggy will probably win multiple awards because the voters "know" her and can identify with her. I don't care.
