Rant...
Azealia got first hand experience with culture jackers if that's really her boyfriend. Seems like the white dude who's super black UNTIL white folks show up.
Anyway, Cudi's point is valid: niggas always want to take this "It isn't about race" or "We gotta respect us before they do" stance to keep their white friends when some racial stuff arises. It's the worst kind of sellout because it's bathed in self-hatred.
How the fuck would Civil Rights have worked out if MLK/Malcolm X said, "We can ask for rights when we quit killing and shooting each other in juke joints and number spots." Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawk you mean? That's a dumb-as-fuck statement that assumes ALL of us kill and shoot each other in juke joints and number spots. Kendrick's statement is the same thing.
He got pressed in a room full of white folks and caved the easiest way he could: back on us with the "It's our fault, Mista Interviewa Suh" bullshit. There's no erroneous context for those words to be applied. That's like saying, "I'm hungry, and I'm going to eat Subway." It just is what it is: you're hungry. You're eating Subway.
We can't skull drag the white chick because we're fucked up too. Really? Movie critics--pros, your friends, etc--can't act, but I bet the majority of us wouldn't spend $20 bucks on a movie night if our entire circle called it wack as fuck. Bullshit is bullshit regardless if the person calling it can exceed the bullshit effort in question.
Iggy's situation is ALL race. White chick doing modern black face, calling herself slave master on records, and everybody only in the gray because they don't know how to be cool with Tip while keeping it 100 with him: he's doing some fuck shit promoting her.
If Jimmy Iovine brought Iggy to the table with no black cosign, there wouldn't be this conflict in the rap community. EVERYBODY would've cosigned Snoop's clowning her ass and retweeted, Facebook'd, and Instagram'd her into the ground instead of awkwardly clapping at her success and giving passive-ass answers about her place in the game. Clifford making money, so of course they gotta see the green lining and go from "I don't give a fuck about nothing" to "Well, what had happened was..." nigga real quick.
Azealia's right about the fuckery. So is Cudi, and I hate that he hates rap now.
But Lupe troll game is Beast Mode.
