Gangsta Boo, the first female of the Three 6 Mafia, spoke about Iggy Azalea’s recent American Music Awards for best rap artists and album in a video interview with DJ Smallz published today (December 5).
“I’m sure she probably paid for it ,” Gangsta Boo says in the video. “I’m not an Iggy fan that’s not a secret. I’m not really a fan of a lot of White female rappers, to say the least, but that don’t mean I can’t hang out with them and have a cocktail. I just don’t really believe in their music. That’s just me, but the masses, millions of them do.”
Gangsta Boo split from Da Mafia 6ix this spring, and released Witch in May. She says that she will always consider herself a member of Three 6 Mafia.
“I have my own lane,” Gangsta Boo says. “I’ve been around since the ‘90s and I’m still relevant. Work your lane and do you.”
The Memphis-born rapper says she likes rising female Detroit emcee Dej Loaf’s single “Try Me” and offers advice to the ladies of Hip Hop.
“Be original, don’t try to hard,” Gangsta Boo says. “If you can’t rap, don’t rap. There’s nothing wrong with playing the background just staying a writer. I just wish more people played their positions. Therefore the game wouldn’t be overcrowded. Just play your part dude. If you’re dope, continue to be dope. If you’re not, fall back. There is no room for the weak and the ungrateful.”
Gangsta Boo gave an exclusive interview to HipHopDX in 2011, where she explained her feelings about White people who try to act like African-Americans.
“I just don’t like White people that talk White around their White friends but get around Black people and pick up an African-American accent,” Gangsta Boo said at the time. “To me, I would say that’s a wigger. So to me, a wigger is someone who’s 100 percent “White power” with their White friends and when they get around their Black friends they’re Yo! MTV Raps type-shit. Like, super urban, talking with hella slang, and that’s really not them.”

im not an iggy fan either but that ridiculous. iggy would be fine with or without those awards she dont need to buy them but i could see her label doing some shit like that. boo wouldnt be complaining if she could buy herself a win.
Hahahaaaaa….so true
what a moron
I don’t think she paid for them, but somebody did. She’s the new Vanilla Ice, just like Vanilla Ice was a white version of the MC Hammer show, Iggy is the same to the Nikki Minaj show. Nikki Minaj better step up her music because Iggy proves that image is interchangeable.
I said it before and I will say it again, Iggy is a wigger!
How are you talking in an Australian accent when you do Interviews but when you start to rap you somehow get a southern black accent?
Just the fact that she has to change her accent is racist.
a lot of british rock band singers dont sound british at all when they sing
So what if Nicki does use a fake accent in her art! Nicki Minaj raps with a fake ass British accent among others… why dont people get mad at that shit?
I don’t know about that. There are many people who speak with a British or Australian-accent but when they sing, the voice comes out in an American-accent. That’s noy unusual at all.
Yeah but there are British RAPPERS that sounds British when they rap not some harden gangster from the streets.
American streets i mean.
@ any..
when you hear iggy… she sounds like a hardened gangster from the streets?
the fuck streets are you frequenting fuck boy?
The intelligent man would ask who’s on the award show boards who get to choose winners, how do they get the money to buy the awards and rent & insure the venues and pay for airtime and start to see there’s a puppetmaster pulling the strings behind this “display” of entertainment. The programmed sheep will just say “what an idiot” and just can’t comprehend the slogan “the game is rigged” no matter how many times it’s been told to them because they are weak.
Strange how she can talk about the world is crazy when you holding up devil horns the industry is fill with talentless so call artist who are buying awards and the reason so many people think they can rap look at what’s being pushed out here on the public homo thugs devil crap and they paying these freaks so that’s why everybody and they momma out here trying to rap

All these people piling on Iggy because she is on top of her game. So what is she is rapping in a Southern accent and does not write her rhymes. She is an entertainer and she is entertaining.
Cuz this aint pop/rock/jazz… Standards are diff in HipHop regardless
Iggy sucks cock
Big Black ones
look at all these white people upset on here.
Fucking DEVILS
You need to get your head right. Sorry you’re filled with useless hatred.
Im white and I cant stand this wigger. Ive seen retarded black people listen to iggy. People nowadays cant differentiate between talent and nontalent. Just bc its on tv and they are signed to a label, that doesnt make them “dope”. Look at chief keef and trinidad.
Gangsta Boo has been in the game for 20 years and iggy is on her way out.
So if blacks listen to Iggy they are now considered retarded? WTF? My Lady listen to Iggy her beats are Str8. But it seems to me she more then trying to act black, she love Black men.. probably that’s where her love for the game came from. Either way we need a new category to put these pop rappers in because she is def not HIP HOP ..
I feel sorry for your wife, dude!
I didnt say blacks are retarded, i said I have seen SOME retarded black people listening to Iggy and imitating her wigger accent and they are black to begin with!! And yeah it was girls too…
I just remember I actually had one black guy say to me that’s how Iggy raps bc she is from Australia and she’s rapping in a “Australian accent” …. yeah that’s what he said.
I let him know that’s not how Australians talk or rap, she’s trying to imitate the southern black accent.
“I just don’t like White people that talk White around their White friends but get around Black people and pick up an African-American accent,” WTF?!?!?! is an Afr-Am Accent, that was/’is some ignant ish
WOOOOOORD MY DAWG!!PREACH IT!ABOUT DAAAAMN TIME THESE PEOPLE STARTN TWISTIN THEIR VOICES TO SOUND LIKE A EDUCATED SOUTHERN MY G!FEEL ME?WE IN THE COMMUNITY DONT TAKE KINDLY TO ISH LIKE THAT,JUST LIKE THAT HOMIE!SILKYSMOOTH!HEEEY MOM!WHERE`S MY BALLETSHOES?!?TRAINING STARTS IN AN HOUR AND I DONT WANNA BE LATE AND MAKE MY INSTRUCTOR DUSTIN MAD!
they have told you how she went thru some dude in ATL, thru some dude in TX, thru some dude in Cali, thru Jimmy Iovine, thru TI, thru ASAP Rocky thru Grand Hustle, thru Julie Greenwald, helped by the Clear Channel extra plays program. You have to be a total idiot to think her “success” is because of the demand of the people and her talent.
Fucking racist bitch, go jump in front of a bus.
Always a fan of Boo, but this the dumbest shit I ever heard. What is a black accent?????????
That’s the most limited fucking perspective I’ve ever heard. Do you listen to white male rappers? And what about Hispanics? Koreans? I’ve heard some dope shit all around, tall, short, black, red, skinny, fat, man, woman. Iggy doesn’t make good music, but that has nothing to do with her skin or her vagina.
Listen to K.Flay and fucking tell me she’s not an artist. You came into this world 35 years ago and LEARNED from fellow black people to talk and act the way you do. Then you try to act like other people only imitate. Bitch, life is imitating. Everything you ever said or did was learned and therefore copied. Enjoy your limited fucking world view.
I hate when people hate on Iggy for no reason. White females have no example as a female MC. She was good enough to get in all the others are mediocre or garbage. Iggy treading mediocre but she is an average MC. A lot of people hate on her because of her “Southern accent.” If you want to judge her judge her music and her content, not her skin. Eminem went through the same shit. He was an excellent MC who just needed a structure with his songs and flow. Now he is a machine. Iggy will have a nice run but I don’t like how people saying she is a coon. It’s a tough subject to analyze. I think her album had a good start and fizzled out at the end. But I don’t care about how she acts around whites and blacks, I don’t care about her personal life, I care about the content, the music. I think she is okay. I think it’s unfair if she wins Grammys in the hip hop category as far as albums is concerned and best rap song. In the other categories I could careless. Before Iggy who was albino enough and good enough before her? Kreashawn, Blondie, The Real Roxanne, V-Nasty GTFOH! They weren’t good they were awful.
