Iggy Azalea has responded to comments Rah Digga made about not considering her a Hip Hop artist.
“I honestly don’t really mind if I’m described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining,” Iggy Azalea wrote in a tweet yesterday (September 24).
In an interview with ThisIs50Radio, Rah Digga said she is not a fan of Iggy Azalea’s music.
“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 a second tweet yesterday, Iggy Azalea says that she is amused when people’s reactions to her.
“its definetly funny seeing ppl get so emotional over it all. What does it matter? music is music and many enjoy mine, no need to feel upset,” Iggy Azalea wrote.
Iggy Azalea’s tweets are as follows:
iggy bit, thats dumb. she gave a no-namer some exposure.
Simple simon thinks everybody with an opinion that doesn’t abide by the status quo is seeking exposure. Last time I checked, Digga didn’t follow up her opinion with the debut of her new single or announce an album release date. She said what she felt free of charge.
That’s funny, you calling Rah a no namer. Look her up, check her record and then post what you’ve learned!
her record is wack
what are u talking about?
hey Rah, is that you?
“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”
Very underrated comments.
iggy iz a racist hoe from australia and she’s a culture vulture
Nobody takes you serious when you misspell “IS” dumb fuck.
IS like in Islamic State?
Why do you guys hate on Iggy so much? Is it jealousy?
Don’t flatter her. Iggy is worthy of admonition
This albino bitch knows that shes POP so I give her credit for that.
fuck igggy she’s a dirty ho
You too!
She sucks. She doesnt even make music
Drop the sex tape, Hoe and shut the fuck up
what music has SHE made?
Let em Hate, she on the radio, she on television, she doing numbers, she touring sold out shows, haha let em hate, all ya’ll hate hate hate hahaha
Everyone says Rah is hating but hasn’t even watched the interview. She was asked about Iggy by the host. She didn’t bring it up. She gave her opinion. She never never said “I hope she dies” or “I hope she flops. ” she just doesn’t like her music. thags not hate.
tellem gurl!
#TeamIggy 4life
I get what Rah is saying, but Bun B said some real shit a while back. He said we can’t make it out the hood, make a million because we sent hip hop out to the world, and get mad at how it comes back to us. Hip hop is influential and has usurped every other culture in one way or another. Hip hop purists have to understand that we wanted this in some way. And it’s not like its a punishment. Music is an artform that is meant to entertain and/or inspire. Iggy doing her thing right now and honestly, there are a lot of black rappers who have said far more disrespectful things about hip-hop.
I agree with that, but here’s an interesting thing to wonder: why is it every OTHER element of Hip-Hop that’s been sent out into the world, has ALWAYS come back just AS fresh, if not fresher??
You don’t see this type of shit happening in graffiti, NO graff writer is getting exposure or praise for wack shit, period. Same with the b-boys, no b-boy (or girl) is getting respected or getting a bunch of exposure by coming wack.
There’s such a standard set (that used to be set all around Hip-Hop) to where if you don’t come correct, you just don’t come at all. So why is it when it comes to the MC, everybody and their moms is (or thinks they can) rap, and they just get patted on the back for such sub-par execution?
And then this garbage, that in no WAY would ever pass in a lunch table cypher, is being shoveled right into the mouths of the kids everyday, and now THAT’S the new standard… which is obviously much LOWER than it ever has been in history.
It’s only the music that has suffered…. graffiti is WAY better these days, b-boys are WAY better, even the DJ (REAL DJs, not button pushers btw) have gotten way better… but when it comes to rhyming? The majority of it has just gotten progressively worse.
Thank god for Run The Jewels…
b-boy’s 4eva
but y’all gotta understand you’re talking to a bunch of red pill babies who not only don’t know anything about graf, they go with what the law says, it’s illegal scribble
they ain’t gonna see this Iggy okey-doke, and it IS one
Reporters always ask these questions and when the person gives a real answer all the fakes get mad as hell… Don’t believe me, read most of the comments below. And stop counting her money groupies. You sound like a prostitute. That’s not your money. Lmao
I disagree. I think Iggy responded with class.
Hop Hop is dead mother fuckers.
Iggy is Iggy rap ho! If you want other hip hop go buy it! Rah Digga was just as wack as she thinks Iggy is tho.
Iggy Azalea keep it pushin’
Tired of people worrying about other peoples music. It’s always the washed up or Never beens that are always bringing this crap up. Do something POSITIVE for crying out loud already. It seems like everyone is Jealous of everyone else WTF!!@!@!
“when peoples reactions to her”…riiiiight. Good job editor.
Rah Digga was simply saying Iggy ain’t hip hop, and she’s not. WTF yall so defensive about? Yall sensitive folk got a whole lot to say….silly wabbits…
It’s the media’s fault for asking washed up nobodies like Rah Digga their opinion
I don’t see why all you Iggy acolytes have your panties in a knot about what Rah Digga said. Music purists of all genres have been around way before Hip-Hop. When the Clash signed on to a major label…Punk-Rock Purists screamed, ‘FOUL!’ The same with Rock, Blues, Jazz, etc. But for some reason…it’s more accepted if you’re a 60’s Garage Rock Purist & so forth…but if you’re a ‘HIP HOP PURIST,’ all you narrow-minded DOUCHEBAG DELUXE’S scream, ” Hip Hop is Dead, music is music, & it doesn’t matter!” So if it doesn’t matter…respect what someone like a Rah Digga or a Chuck D, etc. says from their own perspective & their own truth. You know the world is BIG enough for YOU hip-pop nuthugging suckaz & the HIP-HOP PURISTS!!! LOL
IF THATS WHAT SHE THINKS SHE ALREADY MISSED THE POINT OF THE CULTURE “VANILA ICE”
She isn’t hip-hop, but she IS a tramp and a whore, so Iggy’s got that going for her.
I’m surprised Iggy even knows who Rah Digga is, much less surprised that she even bothered responding to her.
Old heads like Rah Nigga aren’t comfortable with the fact that the hip hop landscape is forever evolving, as are people’s individual tastes in artists. You can’t just place hip hop in this ridiculous box. It needs to grow like a plant, and Iggy is one of the many gardeners who is nurturing her gift like a tiny seed and watching it expand with pride. What I’m saying is maybe we should let the next generation of rappers like Iggy, Chief keef, Bobby Shmurda, and French Montana continue carrying the torch like they’re supposed to.
WU- Tang Forever!
LMFAO! Those 4 clowns carrying the torch? We’re doomed.
@360 Deal Please shut the fuck up. Bobby Shmurda is the new Trinidad James I guarantee it. French Montana is so wack he cant even release a solo project without a boatload of features and Keef raps like he has a mouth full of marbles I cant understand him. For the sake of human kind never talk about Hip Hop again…
Smartest thing said so far, you are the one-eyed-in-a-kindom-of-the-blind
You’re a fucking idiot.
360 is obviously a troll, lol
just before I looked at the paycheck which was of $5621 , I didnt believe that…my… friend trully receiving money part time online. . there dads buddy haz done this 4 only fifteen months and recently paid the mortgage on their apartment and bought a brand new Saab 99 Turbo . look at more info,………….

http://www.Works6.Com
========================
let’s see who would win in an old fashion freestyle rap battle; washed up Rah diggy or albino, white chick looking, blaccent having iggy. hmmmm…my money is on Rah. It’s about skill, not how many records you sell or or did we forget that! this business is commercialized that’s why iggy excels at it.
My money is on Iggy all the way. She seems like she could seriously mop the floor with Rah Nigga. Iggy is a skilled and talented lyricist who not only knows how to make a hot jam, but could probably battle like nobody’s business.
stfu 360 deal iggy doesnt even write her own lyrics. How can you write about somethin you aint never felt or done? someone else writes her shit and it all comes down lookin fake and idgaf how many records she sells, she still a fake australian wannabe to me.
And History lesson: Rah Digga ate Eminem in a battle.
Lol i hope they do battle more lunch for Digga xD
The general public must not be as smart as i once thought if shit rappers like this keep getting popularity. Who can like this music.
Iggy IS THE QUEEN OF RAP!!!!
I doubt everyone will ever agree on anything in regards to music… especially in the rap game. When Iggy first started poppin’ I liked her- and I’m not ashamed to say it. As a matter of fact… I still appreciate her hustle. Will I purchase any of her stuff… well, that’s another story.
it is, a story on how submissive and gullible you are
Iggy is a manufactured artist, from the dicks she rode for fame to the white women pushing her career at Atlantic, thru marketing and thru the modeling agency
Iggy is as manufactured as studio artist Kendrick,dont see you bitching about him.
Iggy’s genre is a mix of Club and Rap, better known as CRAP!!!
fake australian rapper trying so hard to sound like the south , why dont you rap in your australian accent stupid hoe
iggy azalea fake rapper , all of australia hates her
just made that irrelevent nobody famous. The new classic is the modern day classic album for female rap. Who is this other hoe coming at iggy why has no1 ever heard of her.
Wow, you just got your card pulled, if you do not know who the hell Rah Digga is then you must be wack as hell. Google her bitch.
history lesson: rah digga ate Eminem in a battle.
rah could have named countless other rappers too on YMCMB
stop lying
I don’t really care about her music. Just get that sex tape out so we can watch her fat white ass bounce up and down.
TRUE!!!! HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Just another culture vulture as she says, she doesn’t care about the culture, just wants to have fun…..typical white girl shit
YUP!!!! THAT BLOOD SUCKIN’ CUNT!!!! AND T.I. IS A PIECE OF SHIT FOR COSIGNING THE FEMALE ELVIS!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Iggy Azelea is better than Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar is a culture vulture.
UMMMM, RAH DIGGA DIDN’T SEEM UPSET OR EMOTIONAL!!!! I THINK IT’S THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!! THE NERVE OF THIS BLACK MUSIC STEALING CUNT!!!! AND RAH DIGGA WOULD EAT AND SPIT YOU OUT LYRICALLY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
If Digga rips her apart lyrically but no one hears it, does it even count?
TODAYS HIP HOP/RAP IS DEAD!!!
Agreed!
First off she’s not affected cuz she’s and never will be apart of tha culture…And for the record Rah will mop this fake ass rapper up…I wish she would say somthin sideways..
Those fools and failures keep trying to pull Iggy into a fight but she’s too smart for that, she’s just keeping her mind on her business and making that money, while fools stand around and complain.
The more you complain and attack her is the more the Media will defend her and make her more and more famous and rich.
Can’t stand Iggy, but that was about as classy as a response as she could have given.
whoever is popular or whoever is on the radio is controlled by certain people. These labels and billionaires pay alot of money and marketing for everything nowadays. Do you really think people are famous on talent, its all controlled.
hence, the reason music and especially hiphop is dead.
Big Up 2 Rah Digga!!… She got the balls *just a figure of speech* to say what and how many feel about this fraud… #SALUTE
rah digga put tyler creator and his weirdo group in their place a couple years ago and no complaints. she states the obvious facts about iggy and it’s a problem.
People are allowed to have opinions. Music taste is subjective. 99.99% of what gets airplay has sucked since the year 2000. Rock, country, rap, all of it. There’s no distinction between genres anymore. Everything is homogenized and watered down for consumption by masses of screaming 14-year-old girls.
That’s my opinion.
^ Very well put
that may be true, but don’t act like hip hop didn’t start that way. If you do your history, hip hop started this way, then got refined to boom bap. Niggas started rhyming on disco. Even the father, coke la rock’s rapping was probably closest to todays trap. Afrika Bambaataa, jungle bros, even the schemy way Sugarhill Gang came up. This shit is cyclical, hip hop fans have a short memory. Its grown, but it doesn’t make the flashy, pop techno side any less relevant or hip hop.
Well said Holy Matricide
@ Tripaud . What is your point. Yes Africa Bambatta were rapping over disco that was the popular genre of the time .
You then have the gall to say “that coke la rock” was the closet to today’s “trap rap” No his style was closer to “toasting” Jamaican rhyming over beats .
And you have even added Jungle Brothers to your random comment .
This last quote say’s it all —> Its grown, but it doesn’t make the flashy, pop techno side any less relevant or hip hop.
And since when is it considered a “feud” or “beef” to say you don’t like someone’s music? Someone asked her opinion and they got it. More real artists need to call out these tapdancing clowns instead of acting like everything’s fine in music. It’s not.
I AINT MAD AT HER. IGGY MAKING THE SAME MUSIC AS EVERYONE ELSE. HIP HOP IS WACK BEATS AND A CORNY CHORUS THESE DAYS. THESE ARTISTS LIKE RAH DIGGA NEED TO MAKE MUSIC AND TRY AND CHANGE THAT INSTEAD OF TALKING ABOUT IT
I bet rah digga wouldn’t say that shit about 808s or the love below. double standards…
How do you know what she thought of 808 or Love Below . Stop being so reactive and over emotional
it does matter to ppl who look at hip hop like a religion and if ur using it to portray a certain image that ur not then it will emotionally effect the ones who take hip hop seriously but if she just wants to make music and entertain then thats cool let her do her thing
Iggys cavewoman mentality is going to get her slapped right in the face one day. The sistas are getting fed up with this big mouth ho.
What did she say that you find so upsetting? Why are you so emotional?
^ His an idiot with too much estrogen coursing through him .Pay him no mind his acting over emotional for attention .
lol . Rah i clearly trying to leech onto Iggys succes.
I’d be curious to hear Rah’s thoughts on all the other bullshit played on the radio. I don’t like Iggy’s music, but to call her out because she’s fake, shit you might as well call out 90% of the industry then because most rappers are fake as fuck. Honest emcees don’t get airplay. If that was the cause, Homeboy Sandman would go platinum on the regular.
She was asked a question, dummy.
do your thing Iggy, you made it, you got mad haters now
Shady/Aftermath be coming full force!!!
Look out for SHADY XV
– Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, D12, Jon Connor, Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse gonna takeover the rap game!!!!!!
From these comments you can tell the difference between those who grew up on Hip Hop culture to those who traded in their soccer cleats and started listening to Hip Hop
LOL
are you trying to say that because someone played soccer growing up they couldnt have also been into hip-hop?
lol op is a geek
OP has a chub a chub body from not playing any sports
White people don’t really like her. They use her as a tool for their jealousy and hate. They are so happy they have something to play games with. Her acting black is normal, all white women look to black women as a sign of strength. Who would want to be white these days? LMAO She will go away as soon as blacks stop baiting these race hounds.
Hahahaha, no white women don’t look to black women for strength as most black women are just obnoxious & loud, highly annoying actually. Also, I most certainly want to be white these days, not sure why anyone would WANT to be black, no thanks.
Your white stop with the weak attempt at race baiting . Your social engineering skills are weak and feeble !!
anonymous please do the world a favor and off yourself you wont be missed you dumb cunt
@Anonymous not sure why anyone would WANT to be black, no thanks.
Fuck you!!! first of all we are better at everything thing we do. We are better sport Players in every major sport(P.k Subban MVP) yes thats hockey too motherfucker. We are better musicians. Motown Owns Musical History as well as the Apollo theatre. White ppl are jealous of us that’s why they don’t give us to many chances to outshine them if they can help it. We are also better performers entertainers and Dancers. the only thing white ppl are good at is being racist like you bitch-ass. I’d rather be black any day of the week. White girls know we are better looking too. we don’t need to tan to look good. so go fuck your self.
@Anonymous: We also Age better than you so you I’m glad you want to be whites cause when your bitch-ass is your 40’s you’ll look like your 60’s like Most white ppl do.
Where also tougher No white Boxer is better than Mohomaded ali or Mike tyson, Anderson Silva Longest reigning Middleweight Champ and bets fighter in MMA history of all time.. Jon Jones. And I’m sure you’ll say weidman beat Him but lets see if weidman can hold the belt for 6 plus years I doubt it.
Most of all, we are smarter than you.
Anderson Siva is Brazilian and would probably round house your head off if you compared him to black people. Don’t believe me, do some research on Brazil! I like how you tried to unofficially draft him though. Nice try! Lmfao
Ah yes…the great Mohomaded ali.
A classic response by the New Classic!
can’t wait to finger her again at her next show
Um, sorry to break it to you bruh. That was a dude in front of you’s ass you were fingering.
iggy whatever the fuck the rest of your name is how about you shut the fuck up and hip hop dx stop posting about this broad news and let me know what classic she ever released to be talked here on dx
Freedom of speech bro. something we thought for and we continue to fight for .
Everyone’s mad at her, but I guarantee you they’d bang her faster than their welfare-collecting fat ass baby momma lol!
thats why you dont want these hoes to talk…just fuck and make some food
In case u missed it wednesday,here’s a storytelling song that is true ABOUT A MEMPHIS HOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyuG99PY1Js
i wish i was black and forever young.
I love black people too. They do everything better.
being white is outdated.
white artist go threw threat violence and intimidation when fight for rights. hip hop is so Nazi
No little child you just don’t know any HipHop history to know the respected Caucasians nor the difference between authentic and manufactured
you can stop listening and we won’t miss you, we don’t need you here and that’s serious truth
Well, all non-Black need to stay out of our culture anyway. Ignorant child like you never, ever wanna study our history correctly. Oops, what am I saying you retards will never learn, that why dumbasses like you will disrespect us.
FIRST: I would like to blog, Rah Digga, which I consider one of the top female MC’s back in the days, is just looking for some spot light, so why not go after one of the top MC females, in todays era. I agree with her far as Iggy rapping about USA hoods and not her own. she would be more authentic if she did. and I don’t consider her Hip HOP neither. not her, nor Macklemore. My number one mc EM, some times goes the pop direction. but with that said, what is hip hop in todays era? true you still have some authentic Hip hop mcs from Jay, Nas, Slaughterhouse, to the young ones, like TDE, Jcole, and Flatbush Zombies, but these other kats, that just comes out with a dope beat, and say and mean, absolutely nothing, that’s not hip hop! Niki Minaj, with her pop singles, she’s not hip hop neither. if these rappers, black rappers, would inherit there culture from the past, maybe Hip-hop would still be considered hip-hop in the present. so Rah Dig is true with her thoughts on Iggy, but how can you single her out when her own people are making our culture of expression worst! Iggy cools, but I fuks with Rapsody! that’s Hip-Hop female M.C-n at its finest!
iKKKy azalea doesn’t even write her own lyrics. That snitch TI writes her lyrics. She has booty implants. And just two years ago she was trying to be a Britney Spears type pop star, an early pop music video of her has popped up. And pictures of her before her booty implants have surfaced. iKKKy azalea is a manufactured star by a record company and Clear Channel. Clear Channel had to play her songs a whole lot before she started selling anything, and she still ain’t even going to go platinum. iKKKy azalea is microbe compared to Rah Digga’s lyrical ability.
you got no proof that she doesnt write he own lyrics

Answering a question and NOT thinking someone is hip hop doesn’t mean you’re looking for spotlight. That’s such a cliche perspective.
Like always, half the article is re-hash. You quoted the tweets out, then wrote them out again.
iggy azalea is right she is doing what she wants to iggy is being herself that is her voice don’t blame her that is her voice i like her people that don’t like her your jerks.
That’s not her voice and she already admitted to that.
I see what both sides are saying.
Seeing that you’re young( or young minded)…When you get into high school your views will change on many things young one….. People aren’t jerks(lol), just because they have a different taste.
Bless your foolish heart. SMH, you except to believe in a carbon copy Barbie doll who emulates the negative gangsta rap, but not respect Rah Digga who been the game long time who knows what she talking about it. Yeah nice try.
“Nikki Minj isn’t Hip-Hop” first of all you dumbfucks, learn how to spell. It’s “Nicki Minaj”, look it up on google.
2. This woman has been rapping for 8-9 years, making a few Pop songs doesn’t discredit from the fact, unlike Iggy she is actually an emcee.
3. http://rap.genius.com/Nicki-minaj-chi-raq-lyrics, she’s been killing it since 2012, whether it was buzz tracks, remixes, freestyles (from this year) Making 5 Pop/EDM songs that are your biggest hits, since no one promotes your rapping, isn’t even close to selling out. Sacrifices have to be made to get noticed, if you’re a female rapper. Kim, Eve, Missy have done Pop too, so get your heads out of your asses.
3. Are you really gonna use that “She’s not Hip-Hop, since she did Pop” name me 10 Mainstream emcees, who haven’t become full blown Pop artists for almost 10 yrs. compared to her. Do any of you fuck niggas actually REMEMBER the corniest, whitest motherfucker you all dickride and call “Hip-Hop” who’s been running shit for 15 yrs, based on HIS SKIN COLOR and Stan army?
Eminem more than ANYONE in game sold out, Slim Shady would lynch this nigga if he knew who he was for the 6 years and lose his identity.
4. Hip-Hop relied on Pop since the early 80’s to become successful and impact the streets, on a nationwide level. Most of you don’t know shit about music. You don’t hate rappers who go “Pop”, you HATE emcees everyone shits on, because it’s popular to do that.
We know Em respects and knows the culture, but TI pimped Iggy and wasn’t Em an honorary member of Rahs ok crew The Outsiders?
No one is mad, we just know real from fake.
