@IGGYAZALEA the reason Eminem didn’t take it as a diss is cuz, unlike u, he is not a cultural appropriator. He respects hiphop.

@IGGYAZALEA years ago, Macklemore did a song called White Privilege saying ppl compared him to Eminem. Did Eminem take it as a diss? No.

The fact @iggyazalea thinks Macklemore song was a diss to her, instead of actually listening, is proof of her privilege. Fuck Iggy Azalea.

True story. I actually rooted for Iggy when she first came out. But she’s disrespected hip hop culture one too many times.

The world is FUNNY. Im not actually heated about macklamores song or its message. I dont think its intention was to make me a tending topic.
