@harryallen@soniasaraiya@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract@Tip Did Eminem face the same scrutiny when he came onto the scene? -
@the_rantingpony@soniasaraiya@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract@Tip …1) whiteness and 2) expertise. -
@harryallen@soniasaraiya@QtipTheAbstract@Tip and, perhaps, his maleness? -
@the_rantingpony@soniasaraiya@QtipTheAbstract@Tip Almost certainly, I think, particularly given that the field is, traditionally, so male -

@Tip@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract But it's about money, I get that, But, stop co signing, and mocking our culture saying Iggy Hip Hop. -
@Tip@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract I know 87% of Digital sales are whites, SO ITS EASIER TO MARKET IGGY AND MAKE MONEY OFF OF HER. -

@Tip@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract Will Smith Protested the Grammies in the 80s cause of this bullshit, and, it's still going on now, WORSE. -
@Tip@IGGYAZALEA@QtipTheAbstract It's not all about race, EM, is a good rapper, it's about the product of her album, it's a POP ALBUM. - 7 more replies
