I was just thinking about Iggy Azalea and why people hate Iggy Azalea.
and it's weird I like Iggy Azalea I don't know all of her songs I wouldn't even say I know a lot of her songs But I know some of her songs and some of her songs are just really good, in my opinion.
And and yeah, I don't know why people hate her so much.
I've never liked him.
I don't know.
Maybe that's because when Eminem hit the scene, I thought I was a rapper of some sort anyway.
I mean, not like not any real rapper, but, you know, we used to have cyphers.
We used to freestyle.
And I don't know.
Liked and it did suck to be this white guy who would from time to time freestyle to to just be associated with like the white rapper thing, because it I mean, it really wasn't a thing until until Eminem.
I mean, it was, but it also wasn't.
Um, I mean, it's also true that I grew up in Phoenix and we were a predominantly, um, Hispanic, uh, milieu, uh, predominantly Chicano.
And so it like everything was in reference to that as opposed to like New York where everything was like in reference to the, uh, black, the African diaspora.
Um, and then LA for whatever reason, um, You know, that was what the media turned it all into.
It was all about like black versus white.
And, you know, there's reasons for that.
Whiteness is a construct and blackness is the the other ring from whiteness and all that.
So, like, I understand why it so often comes down to blackness.
Black and white.
It's a tool of ideology.
