Former Ruff Ryders member Eve recently talked about Hustle Gang's Iggy Azalea and dished on the criticism shot at her in recent months.
Although she does not fully get down with Iggy’s music, E-v-e co-signed what the Australian rapper brings to the culture.
“I get it. I get that people might be upset about certain things. Yeah, she’s white, but they grew up with our sh*t,” Eve said in an interview. “It’s our thing, but she’s representing a group of girls right now as well. … I think people right now are too quick to give too many accolades to new people. That’s the one thing I just can’t stand. But, let her do her thing. It’s not my cup of tea but she’s representing for somebody. She’s doing her thing. What are you gonna do?” (“Sway In The Morning”)
Check out the interview right here…
Recently, Iggy admitted her music biz stint could end after just 36 months.
“You never know how long you’ll be in people’s good graces, especially in this business. So I hope it’s long—but I could be here for three or four years and then be out, like most artists. So it depends. I might be here for a long time. At the very worst, if I have a short-lived career, at least I could say I sparked a change—that I inspired some leniency in what people accept in hip-hop. And if I have a very long career and can be gyrating in a leotard at 35, that would be great.” (GQ Magazine)
Despite Iggy’s critics, rap star Kendrick Lamar said she deserved her spot in hip-hop in a recent Billboard interview.
“She’s doing her thing,” Lamar tells Billboard. “Let her. People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing, continue to rock it, because obviously God wants you here.” (Billboard)
Last October, Iggy’s mentor T.I. said too many people liked to classify artists like Azalea without looking at their full bodies of work.
“It should be attributed to her work ethic, her artistic views, her impeccable ability to kind of, she has a vision for herself and this vision for herself, she will not compromise,” Tip said when asked how Iggy should be classified. “I think she should be kind of judged based on that instead of her creed and her nationality and what country she’s from. I think all of that, those are stereotypes. I put her wherever she made the most noise, you know what I’m saying? I think when you start trying to classify people in different categories, you diminish the purpose of what we do. We try to bring people together – I think she can go into a lot of different genres.” (Hard Knock TV)
Not mine either, Eve.
Eve= another racist tool for the zog machine. Mind blowing to see millions of people brainwashed with no thoughts of their own. Given a victim complex to further an agenda. smh
Victim complex about their own culture? Shut yo worthless culture vulture, no culture having always in black ppl shit inferior ass cracka…go see if any black ool in the cmt website..not any cuz we dont give a fuck about yall culture..only crackas go into someone alses culture and try to tell them not to be pissed cuz useless crackas are tryin to steal it..my question is who do you you think you are you pink cave ape?
The problem with Iggy is she feels a need to respond and that expose’s her….when being arrested Officers say you have the right to remain silent…why cause saying to much or admitting to quickly makes a lawyers job harder….her speaking up for herself does more in the line of deflating her tires than the one that tries….so a real story from a writer and a person that may have a connection to that the content is a turn off…but someone acting gets awards…its like whoa you cant say that coming out a(A.Banks) only to say whoa did you hear that new iggy song shes wonderful….This suck Banks can rap her ass off… i didnt want to like her just cause she seemed like a hater but i listened and i am ashamed of myself for not giving her a chance
Nah that doesnt expose her anymore than it did Tupac who responded so much he started responding to imaginary disses!! And Tupac is regarded as a warrior.
no comparison ever pac had original content and played multiple roles through out the culture of hip hop….plus he didnt exactly back down. i want to see your point so i ask u to give me a better example plus pac dead cant really work with him
You said she feels the need to respond to everyone, well Pac did the same exact thing. He responded to those who dissed him as well as perceived disses that weren’t even real. He thought Mobb Deep dissed him so he responded. He thought Nas dissed him so he responded. He thought Chino XL dissed him so he responded. He felt Dre dissed him so he responded. He dissed Biggie, all of Junior Mafia, LL Cool J, De La Soul and Jay-z. Half of those names never disrespected Pac at all, he was just insecure. It’s a direct comparison. Him being dead now has nothing to do with it homie. Always good chattin’ it up tho bro.
Stfu no comparison you idiot..i hate white p like you..useless.if you black..ur worthless for making that comment
Pac was sensitive and responded to everyone. You dont want to see your idol compared to iggy but you know its the truth. That’s why your bitch ass had to cuss and didn’t counter me with facts or points lol
well him being dead has something to do with it because i dont want to speak on thing i dont know for sure….what pac did tell us about those beefs was that he felt they were all against him….if you look at his lack on ny radio play and respect maybe he had a point a point but thats to far off topic……plus pac had no problem using more than words and let you said he also had no problem started beef and bombing first….iggy neve would go at any one that dissed her on record and win….pac lived the culture iggy just copied or she says was influenced by the culture…Pac has earned his place and should never for no reason be compared to any one let alone iggy ….
lastly hip hop is confrontational your going have people that call you out and you have to either have thick skin or have enough heart to fight back…she does not fight she plays victim…which proves directly she not about whats she writes about….the media and many lashed out at snoop for picking on poor iggy but said nothing when ti said harsh things to a. banks….jay-z dont respond she to emotional….as i a person i like her she cool she seem like a artist that might come to a fans party so again i like her but comparing her to pac if not cool pac dropped albums on cats he thought meant him harm she writes a twit …But as always very enjoyable to chop it up with u
Iggy is a performer…she is to be considered that and nothing more….Her raps are not hers and she has no connection to the life be it born earned or a right because she is not nice on the mic…her writers are ok…..Em earned his stripes through battle rap.. he belongs, not because dre only, but rather because he put in work and became a rap nerd… that way i can respect plus dre gets paid from it so its not full out culture jacking….
Imagine How this lands natural Natives felt before this land was called America…and how Africans felt….i say this because like these groups hip hip and other forms of music were used and taken care of to the point you couldnt not like it ..then came the dreamers with the thought how can we make this bigger…in each example it led to ones that didnt have the skill or insight coming in and taking everything and claiming it as there own….and the creators being called to savage and unworthy…
Yeah right!!! she’s married to billionaire thats why its not exactly her “cup of tea”
black people have forgiving hearts,,,that doesn’t always serve us well,,
Eve’s a role model for the online trolls who spend all day expressing their dislike for artists.
