Lord Jamar Calls Out Iggy's Political Stance: B***h, You Crazy!

www.vladtv.com - Never one to bite his tongue, Lord Jamar sat down with VladTV and shared his thoughts on Azealia Banks calling out Iggy Azalea, saying he really respects Banks for speaking her mind, while also calling out Iggy for claiming "rap has nothing to do with Ferguson." Iggy's stance on Ferguson prompted the MC to lash out with "b***h, you crazy," citing Hip-Hop's rich history of taking a stance on political issues, especially police brutality.
Jamar also shows love to Macklemore, who was one of very few rappers seen marching on behalf of the latest victims of police violence against African-Americans, saying he knows a lot of black people who wouldn't march, so he respects the Seattle rapper for standing up for what is right.
Check out the clip above.

[@EliteBlackSash]

Macklemore was not the only one. J Cole, David Banner, there were a lot actually, in ferguson. Of course the media said nothing.

[@yaboidub]

I caught that too

[@frankwave776]

Cole didn't want an interview but he's the only one that got one lol

[@iHendy]

[@thaBootyologist]

EXACTLY!!! Why are they talking about a situation without having FACTS about it?!?

[@azc29103]

Im glad Lord Jamar is finally giving Macklemore credit, because Macklemore has always been respectful of black culture, and Macklemore is paying so much respect by speaking out about Ferguson and going on marches !!!

[@ocky88]

"Macklemore is the only rapper that I know of who actually marched in Ferguson." That moment when you realize just how White and out-of-touch Vlad is.

[@ocky88]

[@ocky88]

brandon idgaf yes...... which is what I meant by the whole "White and out of touch" comment. A person who works in media and doesn't "look into" a riot on U.S. soil? O_o

[@ocky88]

[@zaybionhart8564]

J.Cole... I just got done posting this, dude straight up lost me on that one. Always felt like it was something real sketchy about this mane but that just sealed it for me. American media isn't for melanin enriched Americans. Period.

[@Michele-bm1zu]

...pretty sure he meant "Macklemore was the only WHITE rapper to march in ferguson". Go back to second grade and learn the value of context clues when someone is speaking. That was what their whole discussion was based around.

[@DordtyHylemorph]

Of course iggy would separate ferguson from her career. She is ignorant to the fact that sociopolitical & socioeconomic issues and hip hop have been intertwined since the beginning. She didn't listen to Q-Tip when he tried to tell her that. Now she's saying that her career in rap is unrelated? Girl, please. Get out of here.

[@thugmusic346]

4 real why you so paranoid!!! yall don't want to see her shine just because she don't know the history of hip hop REALLY come on man the game has changed this is a art form yall don't always have to throw politics in it, even if she did read up on the history of hip hop (which I don't think is a bad idea for her to do)but she will never fully understand the culture like q tip. azalea banks is just fucking jealous, but that just comes with the territory when any person tries to rap,and josh smith don't be a hater one day you gone die like that!!! get your head right mr ignorant.

[@DodgerCityLos]

Lord Jamar is a fuckin G in EVERY interview haha straight the fuck up how it should be.

[@Pchulo214]

Anyone who agrees with Lord Jamar is what's wrong in America. He keeps saying "Black industry" "black this or that" that mentality is what keeps racism so relevant today. There shouldn't be a black OR white industry. If a black artist wants to sing some country, more power to him. If a white female wants to rap, why can't she? You're quick to blame white people for discriminating, and here he is talking down to Iggy for something that has nothing to do with her.

[@DARKELITE3000]

Cause she doesn't portray a white girl rapping

[@Yates__]

*Who gives a fuck about Iggy Azalea's political views? She's not fucking Noam Chomsky. She's not Public Enemy. She makes music where her ass in the subject matter, and she's supposed have an important opinion on politics?*

[@humble_8574]

At the end of the day, it just simple do not go out buy albums from hip hop artists who do not want to help your community. I will never buy an Iggy album or single because she does not give a damn about the black community. But I will buy an album from J.Cole,David Banner , Killer Mike, Tef Poe, Kendrick Lamar,and Lauryn Hill because they will not "sit back" as innocent blacks are being killed. Same goes for Young Thug,Nicki Minaj, and Lil Wayne I will not buy their albums because they are silent on issues concerning blacks

[@humble_8574]

Gaines Don But do not paint all black people with "one brush" because there were some blacks in Ferguson that protected those businesses from being looted. At the end of the day it just simple. Stop making "wack rappers" such as Iggy rich and famous. Invest in rappers who are intelligent.

[@blkCAPTAINAMERICA]

That same thing go for dj vlad. How does he get a pass? He essentially is doing the same thing iggy and all the other white and non white artist are doing by using the culture to better himself. And I'm shocked that this pro black 5% knowledge of self knowing Negroponte hasn't called Vlad out yet

[@tman229]

Actually Nicki Minaj did speak on police brutality recently on roll stones (I believe) and some senator (who's a former KKK leader) unsuccessfully tried to discredit her.

[@miguelg2909]

Nicki Minaj has actually spoken about police authority. She also has a few social media posts on her Instagram and Twitter talking about Black rights. Back when Eric Garner was choked, she posted an image. Snoop Dogg also has posted pictures on Black rights and racism. Sure, Nicki and Snoop are not out in the streets holding signs, but they're doing something, ahead of Iggy. I praise Nicki for posting many inspirational images on her Instagram. She has a young fanbase, and she spreads the word through social media, since that's where many people tend to spend their time.

[@DAWNNEON]

LORD JAMAR IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT IGGY!

[@AkonFenty1992]

Here we go with this guy again and his racism, but if you call it out his stans are ready in attack mode...what's with some ppl and their disdain for Iggy smh and its funny how he thinks what Banks said was the shit or something, but let Iggy say something and I'm sure he'll be screaming racism and saying how its foul..also if ppl don't want to speak on Ferguson they don't have to...another thing, I find it funny how his stans will say hes telling the truth the way he goes in on white ppl, but if a white person were to go in on black ppl the way he does about white ppl they would scream racism, why is it racism when ppl are speaking against black ppl, but the truth when he speaks against white ppl? hypocrisy much, why can't it be the truth for white ppl when they speak against black ppl? there's some truth to what they say about black ppl.

[@lilzander84]

Lord Jamar is basically putting down Iggy Azalea for faking to be "Hip Hop". Yet he praises Drake? He doesn't rap like a Canadian, isn't black, not raised around black folks, didn't come around black folks until he was famous,used black folks to get fame and money, didn't grow up in Hip Hop culture and doesn't really understand it. With that being said Lord Jamar praises this dude when he really has the same background as Iggy the only difference is that he has a black dad( who he claims wasn't shit tho). Wow

[@MrThekidisback]

How does a Canadian rap exactly? And Drake is black bruh and when have you heard Lord Jamar praise Drake? And Drake was born in Memphis and use to visit Memphis when he was young all the time. What are you talking about. Nice try tho.

[@bigdc202]

How does a Canadian supposed to rap like? Toronto is right across the lake from NY state. It's not like a foreign country like Australia that's literally on the other side of the earth. He also spent a lot of time in Memphis with his dad, who is black. So you just saying he "isn't black" shows that you're trying too hard.

[@lilzander84]

bigdc202 I was ready... fuck that, I've been ready Since my dad used to tell me he was comin' to the house to get me He ain't show up Valuable lesson, man I had to grow up That's why I never ask for help I'll do it for you niggas and do it for myself- Drake "0 to 100". Also a Canadian accent is not like an american accent at all dude. Try Again.

[@MrThekidisback]

Zander Brown Some Canadian people sound just like Americans, you wouldn't even know they were from Canada unless they told you, try again.

[@bigdc202]

He had his dad in one of his videos, so what does that tell you about their overall relationship? And Canadians from border cities like Toronto and Vancouver don't sound all that different from Americans. The difference is slight, like the difference between accents of any two cities in the U.S. He also spent significant time in Memphis with his dad growing up.

[@hotfrenchgirl54]

Jamar is all about black. I understand Jamar and i am not even black. He should feel very protective about black culture because he put work in it and sees young ignorant using it as a cash flow. Guess what if you don't protect your land your house your country it will become the enemy's land house country music and then down the road you black people will cry out again on how hip hop was stolen from you. Lord Jamar is not a racist he is conservative until white people acknowledge their wrong doing against black people. I respect that. Hip hop is a vessel to denounced any discrimination, pain, etc not to talk about pussy and ass and shit. Shame on you black people for selling your culture to white people or corporation. You are all worshipping Diddy, snoop dogg etc but what did they do for your community? Those "GANGSTERS" are now the bitches of those corporation and they tell them what to rap about and how to dress etc. If you cannot see that then you are blind!!!

[@pierre-4]

the ferguson thing is stupid, there were hundreds of black rappers/actors who didn't show or even commented on the ferguson situation, no reason to single her out. also the grammy award thing is stupid as well, because chances are some black artist who makes music just as bad as her would of won. no one realize that the white teenagers who vote for iggy are the white version of the black teens who would likely give bobby shumurda best new artist. MF DOOM, greatest rapper ever, never won a BET award, not sure if he was ever even nominated. most people who are complaining about her winning don't notice that even black run award shows almost never give the awards to underground rappers (black or white) who usually are far superior to the mainstream ones. wait until the BET awards comes; run the jewels, open mike eagle, pharophe Monch, Bus driver, freddie gibbs, clipping, and shabazz palace will lose. maybe not gibbs, he got popular. the one thing she has done that someone could find offensive is the southern voice, that's not how she naturally speaks. But do you listen to rappers with british accents? Hip Hop fan won't accept someone with a foreign voice and you have to conform to hip hop. she did that, just like rick ross stole someone else's name, history and lied about selling drugs to get famous; he stole a background she stole a sound, same thing in my eyes, fakeness. she more of a pop artist than a rapper, she's a pop rapper like flo rida and pitbul.

[@SupremeSupervillain_]

[@Captain-America92]

@Otf Finessinq Rap has everything to do with Ferguson. Addressing social & political issues has always been a major part of rap.

[@popetaytv]

A major part or just a part some artist used. Just because songs about politics and social issues exist in a genre doesn't mean the genre is politically based. Rappers who move on a socially concious note has always been the minority. Talking about growing up in the hood is not the same as what a PE or Lupe does.

[@Captain-America92]

popetaytv I was simply addressing a question a commenter asked about the relationship between rap & the Ferguson incident, I never said that rap is based on sociopolitical issues but addressing sociopolitical issues is indeed a major component of rap music. Rap has always been used as a platform to relay information to youths.

[@AlJosephShow]

I wonder how awkward it would be if Jamar and Iggy met in person

[@jessegumbarge3414]

Wait, so unless I'm getting Lord Jamar's words twisted... is he saying that every single rapper who makes money rapping should be donating to the Ferguson cause? Or is he just talking about white rappers? Also, why Ferguson specially? If Iggy (theoretically) donated to dozens of other worthwhile charities but not Ferguson would that be considered a no no? Why, exactly? Somebody help me! I need answers!

[@MXRX]

No, Iggy brought up donating money. Ferguson doesn't even need donations they need support. Especially from rappers because they have a responsibility to the black community because that's where it originated. Regardless the Cops are fucked up for what they do. So for Iggy not to speak up when she has that kind of power is a "no no".

[@jessegumbarge3414]

Morris Ratliff Iggy bought it up because Banks social media bullied her. And again, why Ferguson specifically? I understand that rappers have a responsibility to the black community but does that mean that every rapper should be voicing their opinions/donating money to every cause that effects the black community? Why does Iggy have a responsibility to Ferguson specifically?

[@mikayd]

I think what Lord Jamar is saying that, since she has co-opted the culture and is making money off of it, she holds a certain responsibility to take part the hip hop culture in its entirety. That goes with anyone that makes money off of a culture that they do not belong to. He's not just saying donate to Ferguson but what he is saying is that she should at least address it, they shouldn't remain silent at all Em, Jay, and Kanye are equally responsible as Iggy.

[@Shemzinho]

mikayd Exactly. At least you get it.

[@jessegumbarge3414]

mikayd Lord Jamar makes it clear that he's talking about Ferguson specifically. That specific event has nothing to do with her music at all. It's clear that his confirmation bias is showing. He already has his mind made up about Iggy. It's easy enough to cherry-pick an issue and criticize her for not addressing it.

This is the first time that Lord Jamar has made me agree with him fully 100 Percent. Especially the fact that he actually gave Macklemore his props and gave him his respect which is needed. And I agree with him as Iggy is doing a diversion, and asking the great question of what has Iggy has done personally. Also and Jamar is right about police brutality and hip hop being intertwined because that was an outlet used for speaking about this matter. I agree with him entirely about Iggy and there isn't really many people who are doing that but Macklemore, David Banner, J Cole and a few stepped to the plate for this moment.

And I don't see how "rappers" NEED (key word need) to say something about Ferguson. If that's the case Lord jamar must want chief keefs or young thug or migos perspective on this. He's just being racist and tryna find anything against iggy. Ps. Banks is a crazy troll and her say in anything should be disregarded.

I love Azealia for pouring her heart out about our people and having the courage as a young black woman to truly voice her feelings of what really needs to be said on the behalf of our race in this critical time of detriment we are in and I truly commend her for that. But I can't certify a person such as herself if she does indeed indulge particularly with men that are the oppositional enemy to her own. You can't fight the DEVIL, and be physically and emotionally intimate with him or his acolytes. It'll defeat your perspective if you are hold hearted to it everytime in my opinion.

[@KrazyDave1978]

You can experience what is considered the 4 seasons of things in reality. I do see now that winter has set in. When music stores finally came to an end, and productions begin to lack on making classic albums. And people were no longer wanting to buy the entire album because all they wanted were only just 1 or 2 songs of the entire album. Then napster came into the picture, and that is when everything went downhill. Now music is no longer being produce towards making albums anymore. Just 1 or 2 songs and you get a deal on itunes and be able to tour off of just those songs is what you see today. When it comes to history that is what I study and that is my major. I'm old enough to see the decline and the lack of productivity in all music off today. I do believe that the chapter has now finally come to a close in the music world. The issues today coming up in music or not the same issue that came up 25 to 30 years ago. The entertaining world has now become nothing but politics. It used to be fun and it used to be exciting. But now that joy in having a good time and, focusing on just the money and not the art itself has now died. Nas was correct when he said hip hop is dead because all music is now dead. Deny it if you want to because that is what you are going to do. Because the naive an egotistical close minded people do not have the ability to look anything up and study their history correctly. But I see the truth and I do believe, it is now time to close the chapter on music being televised, and people making money off of it. There are people who know damn better what to be doing and, what not to be doing. They just don't care no more because it is all about the money and the power comes along with it. The culture of art and music is now being destroyed. I do predict possibly 50 years from now movies along with music will no longer be made. It will be irrelevant and no longer needed. Because the way things are going now that is directly what is going to happen in reality which is, the debasement and the degrading of morality and good social conduct.

[@GmoneyMozart]

Jamar is rewriting history when he keeps calling hip hop 'black music'. The roots of hip hop culture as far as dj's finding awesome beat breaks may have been birthed in the Bronx in black neighborhoods but hip hop culture as a whole with graffiti/b boys has had a mixture of ethnicities taking part in the 70's and 80's. Hip hop as pertaining to the music industry has been anything but just black as well. Besides Bambaataa, Herc, and other "originators", the musical flight of hip hop started with Russell Simmons and Rick Rubin who put out the artists who were the real reasons hip hop music was to become more than a fade, which is what people thought was going to happen. Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and LL Cool J were to be the dominant forces in early hip hip music to bring it mainstream and create a real awareness that this music is real and here to stay. Also, music producers putting the music together were not all black. Jamar will literally look back and give ultimate props to Run DMC and call the Beastie Boys a gimmick at the same time. Saying they were something to get white kids interested and that's it. Totally ignoring that their sound was just a meshing of the punk rock genre which had been popular amongst white rockers, and Hip Hop. And look what that did. That crossover was huge and extremely important as it bridged a racial divide and more importantly a musical divide, which we were to later see Run DMC and Aerosmith do a collaboration with walk this way which became a huge pop hit. All of these small steps were important in the early to mid 80's as it opened up the music industry to Hip Hop and Hip Hop lovers. Only for ignorant people like Jamar years later to speak down on only white artists who become successful in the Hip Hop music industry. I'm not sure where his thought process truly starts and ends but he's way off with all of his rants. He's birthing a generation of kids who believe what he's saying is true driving a wedge in that bridge that was made 30+years ago. Iggy is no more generic than the rest of the shit on the radio. Black or white. If he's gonna hate bad music, hate it whole heartedly, without prejudice.

This is my dude, he's one of the only hip hop artist that is speaking out ...real talk...doesn't care what happens either...Go head Jamar....MARRY ME! lol

[@JJermane]

Uh, Jamar got kind of stumped when Vlad asked him that question that Iggy said Azealia is dating a white man.... That's all i'll say about that...

[@Meg62685]

Ummm J Cole, David Banner, Talib Qwali, and Q-tip were in Ferguson to name a few why did vlad just flat out lie and say Macklemore was the only rapper out there?

[@yankeeblu]

Oh, the irony of someone that is extremely pro-black wearing a Ralph Lauren t-shirt.

[@thomasjames1235]

Banks is getting crazy exposure because of this. I know I listened to a couple of her songs because of this beef.

[@gangcktareddrumm9393]

I plainly remember seeing J Cole in Ferguson but perhaps Vlad is highly mistaken

[@NehemyaGifted]

Hold it down OG

[@zshakur]

J. Cole marched in fergusan

[@hoodyman5]

I've realised that I just listen to this guy to get pissed off at him...

[@87estab]

Lord Jamar is always speaking truth. People like Erick Espinoza need to learn there hip hop history.

[@stanbufford8791]

Stop asking this guy questions he's out of the loop. He a throwback and doesn't understand that music has evolved. This is the world and you can be whatever you wanna be and that goes for anybody.

[@Pjiggy]

I wish I could set the font size to 72 for what I'm about to post: 100% WITH LORD JAMAR AGAIN! She COULDN'T say what she was doing because Igloo HASN'T DONE ANYTHING! Stupid Amos & Andy, Minstrel Show, regular in the face, broad.

[@AliceShortuk]

I completely agree with the sentiment of this video. If Iggy Azalea is profiting from music rooted in black culture which is against oppression how can she then suddenly disown the responsibility of showing her disdain when an 18 year old african american is shot dead by police officers. There is a certain degree of respect that needs to be shown and a level of responsibility that comes to anyone (regardless of race) when doing hip hop and to dismiss that is wrong
