    It doesn't take much effort to write better lyrics than she can. I used to ghostwrite for people. Whether or not you think her flow is good is rather subjective, I guess. She doesn't know how to ride the beat, imo. Then, there is the problem of her sounding like a dying lawnmower that just ran over a cat.

    Iggy doesn't sing because she can't. She already tried being the next Britney Spears and failed, so she gets other people to sing for her. It's my opinion that "Fancy" was a success because of the hook Charli wrote and sung. "Black Widow" was a song Katy Perry wrote and gave away. Missy Elliott was an innovative rapper with crossover pop appeal. She would have features, but was also capable of singing her own hooks. SHE is a pop icon and a true, creative artist who was able to think outside the box. Iggy follows a simple formula of rapping elementary school lyrics and having some little-known pop singer sing her hooks since nothing else worked for her.  
     

     
     
    This is the one major problem I had with Charli. Whenever she's asked about her Indian heritage in interviews, she doesn't have much to say. I guess it's not really her fault if her mother didn't talk about it much, but it seems as if Charli grew up thinking of herself as just being white. She mentioned last year that she wanted to learn more about the Gujarati culture and incorporate the sounds of Indian music into her own, but I'm not sure if that's ever going to happen. Since then, she has done punk and straight pop and is planning to do urban and J-Pop influenced stuff in the future. 
     
    Charli has said before that she wish she had blonde, straight hair when she was younger. I understand that it's difficult growing up in a western society that values European beauty above others. I'm glad that she has sort of embraced her hair, but I'm disappointed that this doesn't cause her to empathize with other people of color especially considering that she witnessed her mother being called a racial slur.
     
     
    Iggy also made tweets offending blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Native Americans, and gays and lesbians. These tweets were made a few years ago, but she was in her 20s so she can't use the dumb teenager excuse. The biggest problem is that she has never apologized or shown remorse for them. She even offended some Aboriginal people by saying that they tear down their government houses because they prefer to sleep under the stars. I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about their culture, but I would expect Iggy to know a little bit about the indigenous peoples of her country. According to one person who responded to Iggy's comments, the Aboriginal people have long lived in huts and didn't just sleep under the stars. Their government houses are falling apart simply because they are in poor shape.
     
    As a southerner of African American descent, I find Iggy's fake accent offensive. I don't even think her butt is real because it was flat just a few years ago. Iggy is a reminder of how white people would dress up in blackface long ago and would act out all of the offensive stereotypes of African Americans. Iggy's fake rapping accent is horrendous. Instead of being a half Ugandan Asian, half Scottish person who grew up in the UK trying to tell people why they shouldn't be offended by Iggy, Charli should be trying to understand why people are offended. Charli obviously has a very shallow understanding of hip hop and African American culture. She should either educate herself or stop pretending she knows better than the people who grew up in and started hip hop culture.  
     
    For the feminist Charli, Iggy has engaged in slut-shaming and has said that women either have fashion tits or porno tits. There is no in between. Well, I guess Charli has porno tits.

    I want to add that I don't think Charli is ashamed of being half Indian; otherwise, she wouldn't mention it. She could easily hide it. It could be possible that she has taken a great interest in learning more about Uganda and Indian culture in her adulthood. She just comes across as being disinterested. I don't think it's out of line to expect her to empathize with other people of color since she's so quick to defend a terrible, white rapper. It's not as if white people are the most oppressed and defenseless people on this planet and need her help the most.

    You don't really get the meaning of us calling her a POC in the first place. It has nothing to do with her actually being white passing, it's much deeper than that. Being a POC myself it's pretty shameful that she doesn't say she is biracial because she would have to work a little harder to sell her brand. And in regards to the bold point - that adds to racial erasure when someone chooses to identify as white when they clearly are something else. Charli is a person of British Ugandan descent, that will always be a fact as long as she lives.
     
    And if you're American you know for all intensive purposes she would've been known as mixed race. She is Asian (and depending how many generations behind that, could also be part African - but I don't expect her to claim to be black) and white.

    White people in western society are surrounded by white culture everywhere they go. They don't have to make an effort to do anything. It's not fair, but POC have to put in a little more effort in the U.S., Canada, and Europe to learn about themselves because their histories aren't thoroughly covered in schools. Everyone should know where he/she comes from; it is important to know the past in order to understand the present. I don't believe people have to "act" their ethnicity. When you ignore a certain part of you in favor of passing for something you think is superior, then that amounts to self-hate.

    I forgot to mention that Charli deleted my tweets one-by-one during that whole Snoop thing. I don't agree with Snoop threatening a woman who hasn't done anything to him personally, but I responded to Charli's tweets on celebrities bullying each other. I asked her how come she's willing to stand up for a superstar, but can't stand up for the small people who have been bullied by Iggy referring to her offensive tweets. I also told her to tell Iggy to stop being a one-person minstrel show. One after another, my tweets were removed, but a tweet that said that whites are the most discriminated against stayed up.

    Y'all aren't going to like my review of Sucker. I'm not really a fan of pop music unless it's indie or urban. I'll rate the songs on a scale of 1-10.
     
    Sucker - 4
    Break the Rules - 2
    London Queen - 1
    Breaking Up - 2.5
    Gold Coins - 4.5
    Boom Clap - 5
    Doing It - 9
    Body of My Own - 6.5
    Famous - 7
    Hanging Around - 3
    Die Tonight - 5.5
    Caught in the Middle - 9
    Need Ur Luv - 7.5
     
    By averaging up the scores, I give the album a 5. It's just very average and uninspired. 
     
    In the end, I only purchased Doing It and Caught in the Middle. They both have the 80s r&b groove I like. My overall complaint about Sucker is that a lot of the songs (even the songs I like) really remind me of songs I've heard before, but I can't pinpoint the songs. I can only pinpoint the general sound, which is mostly 80s pop/New Wave/r&b. This tells me that the songs are generic and sound like a little bit of everything I've heard from the 80s. My dog likes Need Ur Luv. Someone can gift it to her for Christmas.

I can only imagine the trials and tribulations iggy has had to overcome, with her "beauty" and race holding her back. Such an inspirational woman!
    That sentence has made me just dumbfounded. I'm honestly lost for words, there could be an essay written on that quote.
     
    Breaking the mould, YES! Authenticity is boring af. We need talentless white artists to dominate in more genres

    Charli's defense of Iggy was basically centered around her being a "mega star" an therefore above the common views of society. Although her heritage doesn't impact her music it does have an impact on her as a person. She doesn't see Iggy as offensive, and that's a problem.
     
    The bold statements basically say Iggy is breaking a mould in a genre therefore doesn't have to adhere to rules.
     
     
     
    And although I'm sure you're VERY familiar with her tweets I'll just link you to this tumblr page.

    A lot of people don't get it, sadly. The problem isn't that Iggy is a white rapper; the problem is that she's pretending to be something she's not (modern day blackface) and is successful because of her white privilege. She is untalented, homophobic, and racist. I don't agree with everything Azealia Banks says, but she's right when it comes to Iggy. She's also right when it comes to T.I. Can you believe that T.I. said that racism is not a thing in Australia?

    I honestly put so much respect in Charli for being an artist that tried to break some boundaries by being a non stereotypical pop artist, and being from a non-white background herself would try to say something in defense of Banks instead of wonder bread I**y. But I just looked up stuff about her and she never really took an interest in her Ugandan-Indian heritage until 2013. At this point that's really ignorant and I might not even buy Sucker or see a show unless she further explains this shit. She lived as a white person instead of learning about half of her family.
