I can see how naive and ignorant she really is by her replies and statements

I would have been complaining if Young Thug or Gucci would have been nominated. Enough quality hip-hop music that comes out but they overlook it because of the catchiness of that pop-ish stuff that they give a billion spins. It's all a joke, but it still is serious enough to warrant the rants, and all y'all making good points. Like Pimp C said, if they don't start taking the music seriously then someone else is going to take it and put their spin on it and make it the way they want it.

8 page thread about this topic is kinda stupid in hindsight
We should be up in arms about how far behind our people are in school compared to others
And how we don't have proper supplies and books for our kids
This rap/Grammy **** doesn't matter to me man
When will we finally stand up and do something about the REAL problems

No one was mad at Iggy specifically 
she just took offense because she was used as an example and that's when ppl started talking directly to her. She tried to defend her place in hip hop culture which offended people even more.
Mad annoying people trying to act like she's a victim of something. She wasn't a victim when she's cashing those BET or HOT97 Summer Jam checks though

New Yorkers... The simple minded New Yorkers that look at the culture and its our, our, our. The ones too scared to just let the genre grow. The ones that want to keep it simply subways, graffiti, backpacks and one pants leg rolled up....
“They did not like us and we were not welcome,” recalls Willie on the phone. “And they let us know by giving us a warm round of boos when our name was announced. They booed us so long, they had to boo us in shifts. I’ve never seen a crowd tired from booing — you could see them resting up to start booing again.”- that was in 91'
They booed Kast at the source awards when they won best new rap group at the source awards... Hell KRIT even got booed for recently performing "Country". Cats is just envious man. It's even worse with the Iggy situation cause it's racist, I see it and I'm black.
Fact of the matter Iggy had one of the biggest records of the year. Fancy was a smash, fancy is hip hop. I'd much rather a daughter or a niece to go around singing and rapping I'm So Fancy all day than to have them even listening to that anaconda foolishness but People don't attack Nicki Minaj and all the garbage she's feeding the younger generations within our culture.

That's how they are with everything though. NY types being mind-numbingly, unbearably provincial is not just a hip hop thing. That's just the broader NY mind frame overlapping with hip hop.

The irony is that dudes get defensive and whine about New York doing it, but didn't Chicago do it with drill music? and didn't the south do it with French and A$ap?
It's not a New York thing, it's a simple minded rap fan thing.

This is my biggest problem. I don't care to hear her trash music. I don't listen, buy or stream any of her **** but I have a big problem with her being labeled hip hop. Her music is pretty much in the Katy Perry lane, it's not even close to hip hop. Get her *** and Macklemore the **** out of here with that hip hop label. It's not because they're white, it's because they don't make hip hop music. Just like Nicki Minaj isn't hip hop. I also think it's beyond disgusting to see this broad from Australia come here, get her *** done and move to Atlanta and act like she's your typical Atlanta chick.
I agree 100% with what 9th Wonder said. Just gotta stay away from it and make sure you support the artists and albums you do like. I bought 11 albums this and that's pretty much all I can do.

Hmmmm I thought macklemore album was hip hop. I like Ryan Lewis production and wouldn't mind hearing other artists on his beasts.

Yea, it's an opinion but these "devils" and "leaches" that you speak of sound like damn near every cat in the game that sees rap as a source of income and that's it. Rappers who stick to new trends and flows to stay afloat are plenty in the game. If you list these devils you speak of and on the other side list the OGs soon your list is gonna collide, would that still make your "hip hop" sacred.
Sports is understandable though as they're bars based around sports and ppl commit to watching every game and pledge allegiance to teams.

Rapping over a replica mustard beat sounds like everything else on hip hop radio

Whats the big deal, she a white girl that finesse the system "why you mad"? because of grammy's hip hop needs to focus on a respectable award show itself like country music. Revolt and all these
other networks need to startup a award show instead of memorial day weekend events and that nonsense that is the BET awards, which is a show she just performed and from the looks of the editing
people were enjoying, and if i was there i would too,cuzz she a fine bunny. She a white nubian queen that we saved then got mad when she realized she was white and didnt need black acceptance to sell records, record which we dont even buy. Just think of it like this, if you take pride in the culture the culture will respond, look at SMACK, he literally has nothing to showcase but lyrics and its winning.
P.S there is no such thing as culture vultures when the customer doesn't even know the difference.

hip hop is all about respect, you have to earn it, and if you dont respect others in the genre you technically have to back it up with your rhymes.
Personally, I wish Banks would just get on a track, spit some vicious lines about iggy, and wait for the response that's not gonna happen.
And edm started from warehouse music by black Chicago DJs. it just caught on in euro sphere before it came back to the US. So Banks isn't appropriating anything by using uptempo beats and house samples....

It is b/c had she not been white nothing would be said. No one says a word when black artist exploit the culture. When we do it we hustling. When they do it its exploitation
Had dude thought Iggy was hip hop he wouldn't have wasted 40 tweets curving the history of hip hop
