I can understand the complaints against Iggy Azalea, and if I was from Atlanta I might even care, but I can't help but admire her will of iron and limitless ambition. Hip hop encompasses the world and will morph in many unexpected ways over the coming decades. Time to adjust.
Lots of pushback from Facebook Friends regarding alleged racism. Hmmm. And the writing of lyrics. Yet, not terribly concerned by this. Most of this stuff doesn't register as racist (except maybe the Asian thing). Most of it is just immature. People are too sensitive, which makes me think the actual transgression must be something else. New celebrities often face unfair pushback (think Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga).
