Iggy Azalea, Nicki Minaj, and Remy Ma were among the artists discussed during Rah Digga’s recent interview with ThisIs50 Radio.
The Newark, New Jersey rapper revealed that Iggy Azalea is an artist she can’t get into and doesn’t consider Hip Hop. While addressing Iggy, Rah Digga even referenced an Australian female rapper by the name of Chelsea Jane who does rap in an Australian accent.
“Iggy Azalea it’s like I can’t get into her,” Rah Digga said in the interview. “Because it’s just not real to me…There is a white girl from Australia that spits in an Australian accent, and her name is Chelsea Jane. That I can get into. Teach me Australian Hip Hop culture. Don’t come to America and try to convince me that you’re Gangsta Boo…Personally, I don’t consider her Hip Hop. I listen to her album. Everything that I hear on there is everything but that. And I feel like Hip Hop is Hip Hop.”
In regards to Remy Ma, who was released from prison weeks ago, Rah Digga says she hopes Remy does her research and doesn’t rely solely on what she’s heard on the radio.
“I think she’s on a good path,” Digga said. “I think she definitely needs to just do a little homework and kind of like get on these blogs and internet and really see what’s out there…I’ve heard her say she got to listen to the radio while she was in jail. And I feel like listening to the radio by itself will make you think like ‘Oh, that’s all? That’s my competition? I’m straight.’ I don’t think she’s really aware of how much dopeness is out there…If I was her I wouldn’t try to jump in the Barbie box.”
Rah Digga was also questioned about her relationship with Busta Rhymes during her interview with ThisIs50 Radio. According to the rapper, the two artists are cool with one another, but don’t communicate that often.
The former Flipmode Squad lyricist then offered her insight into why Busta doesn’t seem to stay with a label or crew for too long.
“I mean we cool. We not BFFs,” she said. “I definitely reached out with the passing of his father. We don’t really communicate like that. It’s all love…I’ll say this about Busta. He’s very driven. And I think the problem with Busta is if anything I think he just doesn’t have enough confidence in his self to really like be that machine and go for it. Really establish your own brand like that. I mean, we did it with Flipmode and we bounced through a couple of situations. And I can’t say everything was Busta’s fault because at the end of the day everybody had to hold they own. I didn’t wait for Busta.”
Lastly, Rah Digga rattled down the list of projects she’s currently working on.
“Working on a few different things,” Digga said. “I’m working on a three song Hip-House EP. I’m working on an actual live band EP with a live band. Like seven, eight joints. Just something I thought of. A nice, little creative twist for me. And the Hip Hop of course. I got a [blend] tape on the way. And I also have an album on the way. So, the stuff that I been leaking is—Are things that’s gonna be a part of the album.”

lol @ the “Don’t try and convince me that your Gangsta Boo” line
Seriously though, that chick oughta be sending Boo royalty checks for sampling that flow so hard.
And you can’t even say she’s a racist seeing as her and her husband both were in a group with Eminem way back in the day. Look up the Outsidaz. Hard Act to Follow>>>> shit still dope all these years later.
yo you’re definitely a Rah Digga fan! Not many ppl know that the Outsidaz were a group…Young Zee from No Brains was dope as hell…I’m not sure that Em was officially in the group tho…he spit on some tracks but I don’t know if he was in a group…do you remember Straight Spittin pt2 from here Dirty Harriet album? to this day I still listen to that shit and she is still the dopest female lyricist of all time next to Lauren Hill…they would have murdered the game if they were together!
Dirty Harriet album is definitly underrated can bump that shit today
That’s like saying
” I have a black friend, I’m not racist”….WTF?…
smfh
They just wanted to make $$$$…something every race wants….n another thing, white people create their empires through evil and deviet while black ppl create theirs by evil and deceit…they sell dis, kill their own for territory and the like
White ppl create their rich empires through evil and deceit just like black folks do too…evil and deceit, the only difference between them is the white folks do it off the street corner, while the black folks do it in the projects, oppressing the whole city housing projects, on the corner in their own hood, and through territory wars….killing their own. ..nickel n dimin’ shit….
wack ass black woman craves for attention
Giving out an opinion isn’t craving for attention. She didn’t follow up that remark by debuting her new single or trying to sell something. They asked her a question and she answered it.
Work harder on your excuses boo boo
go chew on a circuitboard goober
Iggy gonna wreck this bitch
not possible ever
wu tang clan = worst act in hip hop

Damn,thats nasty man
Iggy runs this rap shit.Respect!!
how much they paying you to surf & respond to Iggy comments? You can’t do this in real life, where the conversation begins…….
lmao you wish… iggy isnt respected in hip-hop, shes just another culture vulture, i like what rah digga said about chelsea jane respect
Fit White women with ass are irresistable.
you’re right but what that got to do with hip hop or her not being hip hop
That booty single with J Lo and Iggy becoming a big hit. Dope lyrics propelled this.
“Iggy runs this rap shit.Respect!!”
With a comment like this…where is ISIS when you need them!
^ in Iraq, pack your shit and bounce
says a ugly ass old bitch who is broke
how do you know she broke? do you work at the bank and do her transactions if so how you on the computer making it your personal achievement to tell people this when its not even a fact the truth is she is right and been around long enough to know things like this so do the knowledge it corrects all wrongs in life
says the McDonalds cashier who is type hateful shit instead of TAKING MY FUCKING ORDER!!!
T.I. is a Iggys ghostwriter and received executive production credits on her album.
Let’s be real this is America were the white artists who can mimic Black cultural artforms the best are the ones that America supports. Elvis, Eminem, KennyG, Justin Timberlake, all you have to do is put a white face on Black music and all of a sudden Vanilla Ice can sell 10 million albums and Iggy Azelia can dominate
The airwaves.
Hip-POP is its own genre, B.O.B and B.E.P are examples of that while BCC and BDP are the complete opposite.
you are absolutely right great comment
real talk
fucking white devils
Fucking thieving nigggers
Sooo…what is “hip hop” then? I didn’t realize it had to do with where you’re from and your race, and which accent you choose to use. I don’t remember people complaining that Nicki Minaj wasn’t “pop” when she came out with songs like Starships which is clearly a pop song. And so many black artists do “pop” conversions to fit in with mainstream…and nobody complains. Let a white person try to do “hip hop” or “rap” and s/he’s just trying to be “black” and steal black peoples’ shine. Iggy’s not doing anything any different than any other hip hop artists. So how come she aint hip hop? Cause she white? Blacks always complain about how whites are racists and get mad when white parents don’t want black people dating their children, yet when it comes to twerking and rapping, “that’s a black thing and whites can’t do it.” Heck I’m black and that is annoying af to me, we are so hypocritical it’s retarded.
You are the definition of a ” Culture Vulture”.
Iggy is an easy target and some consider it being noble by “calling her out”. Iggy has never done or said anything disrespectful to “the culture”. In all honesty Rah Digga never reached her potential, I remember I use to listen to her all the time. Fact is her time came and went, I’d like to see these older rappers move on and get into TV and film or something. They’re the equivalent of the old man sitting on the porch complaining about kids walking on their grass. It’s old and tired now. And to be honest 99% of the rappers are fake. The black rappers. So what is she talking about?
I agree. Most of The black artists these days aren’t even genuine anymore…we just like to assume they are because we’ll always take up for who we’re rooting for.
Untrue, while there are many fake rappers, most have the credentials to prove who they are, for better or worse. Don’t try to make us like y’all . Were not. Credibility actually means something to brothers in the street. White people have built every empire on deceit and lies and you desperately want everyone to be like them. This is bigger than just hip hop culture. It’s global white supremacy at it’s finest.
^ global white supremacy lol
A never was feuding with a never-will-be.
Note to Rah Digga: YOU ARE NOT HIP-HOP EITHER!!!!!
wtf u say ???
What feud, idiot? I think I just “shone jones” the door.
@ anonymous
You’re so dumb you don’t even see that all Rah is doing is baiting Iggy into a battle. And I’m glad that I hurt your feelings that I called Rah a never-was
Try again, Sunshine!!!!
And something else,
Iggy’s album is still struggling to go Gold!!!!
Huh? Her album has gone platinum in the US.
No it hasn’t
At least she bagged her a NBA basketball player to fall back on when her career falters- LOL!
Ok everyone is running hard and erratic in the comment section and again all over the B fem. vs W fem., cultural approppriation BS. What slipped through was the “blaming the powers atop” rant. Whats going on is we have the old school girls coming out of trenches over contract negotiation frustrations because exec’s are thirsting the YOUNG fresh faces in the “female” game and old timers cant chart anymore. Thats just business, as is airplay. The gangsta game just aint gonna chart and its not the 90’s, where REAL Rap/HipHop thrived and prospered. Yet the guys get to stay in the game and maintain rights to respect and homage. Example TI’s Hustle gang mistape released this week with universal praise and that tape went HARD! The industry isnt giving that privillage to the females and they are naturally “lashing out”! There was Banks but she did her social-media career-suicide spewing online nonsence in very unwise directions. Nicki is falling apart at the seams, leaving label perceived freshness to likes of Iggy and the still under-rated Angel Haze. There are university courses in “change-management” but most in HipHop circles just failed the course.
lol this shit is so wrong and tried to sound like you know what you talking about too but she was asked a question and she answered it with truth it’s that simple nobody is hating nor racist you young people don’t know or ever been through racist situation to even know what it is so if you don’t like something popular you automatically throw that out there yall cannot handle people saying your music is wack which it is get over it you were born in the mid 90’s so you missed out on great music and failed to go back and at least listen to know so the generational gap just keeps you separated from actual reality and knowing how to make good music
If Iggy Azelia was black then Rah Digga would consider it hiphop. Fucking racist bitch
real talk
She said she cant get into a white girl from aussie coming to America basically copying american culture in her music..she was hoping to see a different side form iggy..fuck heads..
^^^
“She cant get into a white girl”… You just proved Dook E’s point about Rah Digga being racist
you poeple cannot read on here look at what she say’s again and understand you just looking at what you wanna read and leave out the whole point with your ignorance
If Iggy Azelia wrote her own rhymes, had a real accent, and wasn’t a 48 year old fish-dog from New Zealand, Rah Digga would consider it hip hop. But that’s white supremacy for you.”If you don’t allow me to rape and pillage your culture, YOU’RE the racist”. Smdh…
I hate that bitch iggy-fuckin culture vulture like that jew riff raff
Can somebody tell me when did iggy ever try to sound like gangsta boo. Fancy doesn’t sound like anything gangsta boo has ever done. And what the hell is trap shooting sound like some shit my grandfather would say. Iggy doesnt sound like anybody imo maybe a bit like da brat. She sounds like a sassy white girl from atlanta to me.
thats the point but your to dumb to see where an native Australian sounds like she from atlanta frontin to sell records see back in the day you got checked for trying to be something you not but now you new generation of listeners see it as logic and with no integrity cause your whole generation has no originality so when you see a copy after copy of something you already bit the poison fruit and been eating it so long you cant tell the difference and now any wack shit they play over and over on the radio you automatically become a fan and stick up for the bullshit cause thats all you know. its like the KKK can just come out with a single with a corny club beat and a catchy hook and you house niggas will support that ignorant shit cause you simple. they can do anything they want and feed it too you like shit on a stick with blade on the end of it and you gone bite cause you programmed dummies just fall in line to the next new bullshit out but yall don’t hear me though
You can take organic African American musical artforms and put a white face on it and mass market OT to the mass consumers and make a killing.
As long as the rhythms are “Black” you don’t need a Black artist to sell Black culture to white people.
The industry has been trying to implant a white colored female for the last 5 years or so, the movement has been powered by a white-Jewish woman named Julia Greenwald who is an exec over at Atlantic records, she is highly influential in the HipHop offices over there and was the driving force behind B.O.B’s huge
Rap-Pop singles featuring white female singers and also behind the slew of white females on T.I.’s albums after Paper Trail…..(B.O.B was on the intro of her EP ironically).
So when you see T.I. Co-signing and ghost-writing for this bird it’s not an accident, you had already been desensitized from his past associations in that area so it almost felt natural to the blind consumer. LOL.
So now enters another white Jew chick from the UK named Sarah Stennett who masterminds how to market this Iggy chick on the POP side while giving her this supposed “co-sign” from established acts like T.I. Now we have this albino Australian bird rapping in a southern accent and hi-jacking a culture for profit.
This pale bird pretty much signifies the death of mainstream HipHop, you can package and sell American flags that are made in China.
you right but this is an ignorant generation so knowledge is an lost art to them they rather dance and snap rather than see where they getting played and bamboozled it absolutely too late for them the only hope is for the ones after them wake up but i even doubt that R.I.P. to knowledge,wisdom,and understanding for this lost generation of ignorant people it’s sad cause this is our future of young sisters and brother and there is no hope for them but yall don’t hear me though
to the top comment; the fact that you menitioned BOTH JULIA GREENWALD…AND…SARAH STENNETT (i’m in the industry), tells me…you KNOW what you’re talking about!
cosign, been saying this for a long time here at dx
All of you dweebs writing Rah Digga off as a hater, or racist is missing the forest for the trees. A female who doesn’t write her own rhymes, fakes an accent, and has no problem with using her ass as a cheap gimmick is a threat to not only Hip Hop culture, but to blacks and young females in the culture. 1st off, as someone who does NOT write your own rhymes, you are NOT hip hop, period. That’s not racial, sexist or the like it is an unwritten rule! 2nd, let’s be real, if you’re not writing your own shit, you obviously have no respect for the culture an are simply using it for your own gain. Factor in that this bitch is not American, and her shameless use of her ass for attention, what do you call her but a culture vulture? Can’t you see how far back she is setting females? Before you mention “Anaconda”, I want you to understand that video too is Iggy’s fault. Nicki has always used sex as a gimmick too but had toned down significantly since her assent into stardom. But in one fell swoop, videos for “Pussy” and “Work” set the female mc back about 50 more years, and the white female back bout 150. Nickiis a talented female who unfortunately as to resort to a twerk competition to sat relevant. The result is “Anaconda”. So, with all of the progress females have made to be accepted as equals in hip hop, Thank this peice of Aussie trash for taking it away completely! Kim stated it Nicki Peprtuated it, Iggy finished it. The female MC is dead…
“A female who doesn’t write her own rhymes, fakes an accent, and has no problem with using her ass as a cheap gimmick” – you just described Nicki and her fake implant ass
I’m just going to comment on the most interesting part of the interview to me…she said what she said about busta perfectly. He seems like he doesn’t have the confidence to be who he was back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. But I think he needs a home like MMG or G.O.O.D. Those labels embrace that end of hiphop where busta is from. Or go Indie. This guy has too much talent to let someone change I think MMG and GOOD will allow him to make another E.L.E.
How can anybody be who they were in the past? Life experiences change people. However, I do understand what you and Digga are saying. He seems to be missing a certain element that made him very successful in the past. His aggression on the mic and originality are sometimes absent. He’s taken on this new persona that mimics that of a lot of new artists.
Oh, yeah, somebody tell Bussabuss to lose some weight dog! shit looks scary
Iggy is one of my Creatures.
Can’t you tell she ws a Jim Henson muppet with that voice and Face?
Iggy’s voice is like nails to a chalk board.
THIS IS SOOOO TRUE!!! I hate her rapping style, she trying tooo hard and sound like ROCKS in her mouth. It is irritation.
White skinned devils slaughterd millions of their white skinned brothers during the holocaust because they classified them as being non-white. Jewish historians say that the Holocaust lasted 7 years.
Freakish white skinned albino mutants with their sickly pig like skin are nothing more than filthy Neanderthal mutants. Human swine.
Many white skinned Neanderthal albino mutants will attempt to compare a 7 year holocaust with a 400 year holocaust because white skinned people are inherently evil and devilish by nature.
White skinned Jews received reparations and their own homeland and they reintegrated into white society and now they own all the diamond mines in Africa.
White skinned reptilian devils spent 400 years raping, brutalizing, castrating, murdering, mutilating and dehumanizing Africans who they brought to America to be sexual slaves and human chattel.
White devils attempted to destroy these kidnapped Africans with their brutality and savage acts of barbarism but the Africans survived.
Wicked white devils raped men, women and children, hung them from trees and mutilated their sex organs and burned them alive, in a “struggle” for equal human rights the white skinned mutants assassinated Black leaders, bombed Black churches and terrorized an entire community of Blacks with vicious acts of white terrorism.
The pig skinned reptilian albino mutant is against nature because he has recessive genes and a shriveled pink sex organ, the sun scorches his skin and he peels like a snake because mother nature despises him and his hairy Neanderthal mutated self.
Jim Crow, Apartheid, Miscegenation laws, predatory lending, gentrification, segregation and all types of sick dysfunction in society omes from the white boys insecurity of being a genetic recessive mutant who fears genetic annihilation through miscegenation
White bitches bring Black babies into the world when they intermix and anytime a whiye bitch has a baby with a dominate man with color the baby is no longer classified as white, the dominate takes over the recessive which is why the white boy is so insecure about race mixing and interracial dating, he knows that we could wipe him off the planet by just fucking his women and bringing colored babies into this world.
Death to the genetic recessive albino Neanderthal mutant.
Lol don’t forget to sweep your stoop you dirty porch monkey
C’mon son.. racism is just some bullshit that Illuminati type cats get rich off and keep power by having us fight each other over bs. There is no scientific proof of the “recessive gene”-Isis Papers-Whites are mutants BULLSHIT. White folks been lied to by the ideology of White supremacy, think of racist people as being infected and knowledge (not hate) is the cure. Hate breeds hate..you don’t have to hate White folks to be about freedom, justice and equality for all humanity.
iggy is a dirty racist hoe from australia
She can get it tho!
“White folks been lied to by the ideology of White supremacy, think of racist people as being infected and knowledge (not hate) is the cure. Hate breeds hate..you don’t have to hate White folks to be about freedom, justice and equality for all humanity.”
^ good sentiment
I’ve been giving information how media has been severely manipulating the white male since the 1940’s
Very good point, and that’s correct no one can be exactly who they were in the past, or at least I can’t expect them to. But you are correct, his natural-born talent even when notnaggressive showed lyrical talent as now you see it only when he’s with people of his own caliber, etc a-tip. You’ve never herd him with tip sound like the mediocre guy he sounds like when he’s trying to “fit in.”. But from recent interviews he sounds like he wants to bring back his true self and not alter his true sound. And I hope this is true
