From VLADTV: “Lord Jamar sat down with VladTV once again and shared his take on Iggy Azalea’s success, saying the industry is pushing Iggy, much more than they push the typical new artist, because she’s pretty and white.


Jamar insists Iggy is being positioned to replace Nicki Minaj in Hip-Hop largely due to white privilege, but questions her authenticity as a rapper because she’s from Australia yet raps with a Southern American accent, saying she’s almost a caricature of a black MC.


Another femcee, Snow tha Product, was brought up in conversation, and Jamar says he knew three years ago that Iggy would be the one between the two to blow up first. When told that Snow is actually a good lyricist, Lord Jamar says he’s not surprised she hasn’t made it further because the game isn’t about skill anymore, but popularity and presentation.”

    I co-sign! If she was even on the skill level of Eminem, most hip hop fans wouldn’t care.

    He’s not wrong. I’m just surprised that there’s over 5 minutes of Lord Jamar’s life when he’s not obsessing about homosexuality.

    I’m not even going to watch this, because it seems self explanatory. I don’t even know who Iggy is, either way. So who was Nicki Minaj replacing? Well, I guess since Nicki Minaj ended up bigger than many white artists, that must surely mean she made it there because of black privilege, or because Michael Jackson is the top selling artist, or because people love 2 Chainz, Waka Flaka, Lil Wayne, etc They must have surely made it to the top of the charts because they were black. This is stupid shit. Shitty artists make it to the top all the time, and people of all different races make it to the top all the time. When it’s a white person, you have racist retards saying it is because they are white, but when a black man makes it to the top, then it’s just he way it should be. Eat shit Lord Jamar, you just made you haven’t made anything relevant since like 1998 at best, and even then, it wasn’t shit. To be real, he hasn’t come with some amazing ass music since 1992.

    Sorta on subject. I keep seeing news articles about some new all black kid metal band called “Unlocking the Truth” Apparently, they are the next big thing. Yet, they sound like many local bands I have heard growning up. The difference is, they are black. I guess it must be black privilege that they are getting all this attention now. lol. I guess they must pushing them because they are white. Oh wait. Damnit.
