Why does Iggy catch so much slack but Drake doesn't? Drake's a way bigger phony than Iggy. At least Iggy lived in the US the last several years and came up in those rap scenes. I'm not a fan or her music, but Drake is a complete fraud. He's a rich jewish kid from Toronto's richest neighborhood. A child acting star who was nowhere near Toronto's gritty neighborhoods until after he hit it big rapping and then all the thugs around here jumped all over him trying to leach off his success. Drake had to start his career as a rapper in the States where no one knew him from Degrassi because if he tried to release songs and do shows here first we would have laughed him off the stage. It'd be like in the US if Webster tried to start a gangsta rap career in the 90s. To answer my original question; its because black hip hop fans in the states are racist and completely ignore frauds with in their own and overtly highlight outsiders. I haven't heard shit in the media as far an uproar go of the police officers who were just let off with no trial after being caught on tape shooting the white army very. If Michael Brown or Trayvon had a video like that to go with their deaths it'd be the Watts riots all over again.
The fakes will be the fakes and real fans of the genre just have to ignore all the nonsense that plays out mainstream and find your underground alternative.

Absolutely. Everything mainstream is fake.Then you either have the mental capacity of a child & buy into it or realize how fake it truly is.Damn. I went totally sideways on that one. better keep my replies to the point.Not EVERYTHING mainsteam is fake. I just recently threw away all my gansta rap cos i been listenin to it for 20 years and thought its time to grow up and even though most of the rappers i listen to are only big names from the nineties and could in some context be considered mainstream/fake there are alot of mainstream rappers that are bringing light to issues that are being ignored by the general public. that's what i love most about gangsta rap, but im sick of hearin bout fuckin and poppin goose and gunnin someone down so i put it all away. To stay on point with this thread, i actaully feel a bit for nick and iggy. she don't really bitch about it but she is the minority in the industry and culture she chooses to associate herself with. her and nick obviously got love for each other and to be in a position where your constantly having to justify your relationship to others based purely on your differences ( which is the same thing they probably love about each other ) well, that must be a bitch.

Your obviously white and in total denial of the hard facts which are ever present in society and you would admit to in a heart beat if you had ever experienced persecution or prejudice to the degree which others ( and there are alot of others) experience on a day to day basis. Not to mention some of the social ills which are prevelant in not only non white communities but low income communities of all races. Your obviously privilidged if you can't for a second undersatand why iggy be coppin hate from the likes of Azalea Banks and others, who, which you would know if you knew your history, are sick of muthafuckas profitings from their culture, being racist and not puttin in they work for the same community the seek love anbd respect from. Can the other man ( and i mean other as in any other race besides white.) can he have anything for himself without whitey comin along and tryin to make it his own. Seriously, i cant speak for anyone else on this matter and more power to ti for puttin her on but i can step back from a stance where i miught admire iggy or even envy her for her success in a feild which i find to be totally inspiring and praiseworthy and think for just a minute, hang on, this is like snoop in imagine, where he say, " but you imagine to sell your 50, 000, 000 records worldwide, while fuckin off somebodies son." This must be one of them websites where the white kids are re enactin an old time minstrel with their fake ass fandom. If your a true supporter of hip hop and your white, take a step back and have some respect for the fellas that paved the way. NWA is straight outa compton, not IOWA..... sheesh. and even bringin the blessed soul of trayvon ( may he find more peace in heaven than he did here on earth with ignorant scum like you givin him a hard time ) into a debate about bloody iggy azalea for christs sake. wake up. I thought i was a fool on the net. You need to get your ass tapped real quick for even going there.
