Iggy Azalea's street cred is being slammed by a fellow female emcee.
Former Flipmode Squad member Rah Digga recently spoke with ThisIs50's Gossip Viv about the current state of rap music, and ended up dissing the Aussie rapper in the process by saying Iggy is not "real" hip-hop.
"Iggy Azalea, I can't really get into her. Because it's just not real to me," Digga said. "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...We're not going to believe you if you're trying to convince us that you're out here trap shooting."
She continued, "That's the problem. They're too many passes being given. When did it become wrong to call out people that don't write their own rhymes? When did that become a crime in hip-hop?"
Rah Digga claims that, "Hip-hop is representative of this—to inform and empower inner city youth. I'm fine with anybody's race, creed, or color participating, but don't ever forget what it was created for in the first place."
So what did Iggy have to say about all of this? Well, the "Black Widow" rapper didn't seem to care so much about what was said, but she did find it disappointing that it came from another female rapper.
She responded to Rah Digga's diss on Twitter:
I honestly don't really mind if I'm described as rap or pop. My passion is purely making music and entertaining.
