White artists performing black music long have been accepted and supported by black colleagues and audiences: Dusty Springfield, Teena Marie, Taylor Dayne, and Amy Winehouse all earned reverence as R&B artists. This notion that black people somehow play gatekeeper (or even possess the power to play gatekeeper) to black music is as ignorant as it is ahistorical. The first issue implies that Iggy is a victim of reverse racism her supporters argue that she is being unfairly denied respect because she is a white person daring to make black music.
Still, Iggy maintains 4.1 million followers there, a slew of accolades for her albums, and very public support from some of the biggest names in hip-hop-including will.i.am, Lupe Fiasco, and T.I., her mentor/producer. Their prayers were answered: variations of " thank God Iggy didn't win" blew up on Twitter. Which is partly why, after she went 0-for-4 on music's biggest night, hip-hop fans used social media to exclaim their thrill that the industry didn't get it wrong. I do know that you don’t have to be a linguist to detect the difference between the accent in this MTV interview, compared to the “blaccent” you hear in any one of her songs. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think pronouncing fifties as "fitties" or business as "bidness" is common Australian pronunciation. Unlike, say, Eminem or any number of white performers, Azalea makes a clear effort to sound distinctly black in her accent and intonation. If you didn't realize a white Australian rapper generated some of the most-played hooks on the radio last year ("Fancy," "Black Widow") that might have something to do with Iggy's sound. His latest came Sunday night, when he beat out, among others, fellow blond Iggy Azalea, whose album "The New Classic" was up for Best Rap Album. "Think I give a damn about a Grammy?" Eminem sang in 2000, shortly after winning his first of 15. The list of non-winners in the rap and hip-hop categories is basically a Mount Rushmore of the genre: Tupac, Snoop Dogg, the Notorious B.I.G., and Public Enemy, to name a few.
According to sources he hates her and Rita who is yet to score a hit song in the states has recently gained a top 20 hit on billboard with Iggy Azelia New hit “Black Widow” on which she features.
He owns royalties and rights to all the songs because he wrote and produced them so Rita has no chance, she missed out of performing at this weekends Teen Choice Awards because Harris refused her to perform. Calvin Harris is a man with the vengeance he has blocked Rita Ora from performing her hit song “I will never let you down” which he produced Rita is still yet to release her second album which was due in September but since Calvin produced 80% of the album, he is refusing his material to be used on her album.
