It seems to me that it's possible for a little foreign girl from very modest means to form a natural connection to the music of Tupac and other rappers, and to use her abilities to flourish in that field. Iggy Azalea is the wrong target, IMO. Maybe racism helps give her enough room to flourish, though.I doubt that Iggy Azalea rolls out of bed every morning asking 'what can I appropriate today?' She may be taking that role, though, because it's the avenue of least resistance. It's not her. That's the system. She'd be rapping whatever her color or background.
Remember, the audience for rap and hip-hop is very, very large, and spans the entire globe.
