Yeah Iggy is fake, but since when has that been a new thing to rap? Tons of rappers embellish or out right lie about coming from "the struggle". And even then, being "hood" doesn't really mean much. People grew tired of listening to "hood" rap, hence why people like Kanye, Kid cudi, K.Dot, Lupe, Gambino, etc became so popular and mainstays. Iggy is trash but then so is Banks, Nicki, etc. And yeah, Iggy says some o.c things, and she should be called out for it, but most people don't seem to mind since she still gets play and is somewhat relevant (disgustingly so).
Hip-Hop and Rap are just not representative of black culture. Sure, it has a lot to do with black culture but people need to remember its history. Hip-Hop and Rap came from a huge struggle in NYC were there was hopelessness and the youth wanted a way to speak out about it. Hip-Hop and Rap was created in the South Bronx and as much a black people had to do with it, so did Puerto Ricans and to a lesser extent so did Cubans (mambo dancing heavily influenced break dancing). I get what Banks is saying and its true that credit is often taken away from better deserving rappers and given to mediocre ones, but she is hardly the person who should be stating the plight of black culture. And that's to say, Hip-Hop isn't just about Black Culture, as most things that originate from NYC it is truly a melting pot of ideas and cultures.
Who cares if white people rap and get props for it. Sometimes people want to hear guys from the burbs and from rural areas want to say. Hell, i'd rather listen to lil dicky and action bronson than most popular rap acts anyways. And if rappers or black people are mad because the mainstream media is dissing black artists and contributions, well then that's on them. Why do I say that? Because the mainstream media has been doing this since forever. If people haven't realized this by now then they are fools. Stop looking for verification from the very people and sources who will never give you that.
