I don't understand why people never mention Drake's "blaccent" that he gets when he starts rapping. He's not from any hood anywhere in the USA or Canada. He grew up in a middle class white neighborhood in Toronto and starred on a hit television series where we all watched him and how he talked there and in real life. It's polar opposite to his image now and how he speaks in his music. But he gets a pass because he's "half" black.
I've been saying that as well. It's okay if Drake portrays and perpetuates a stereotype that he never ever directly experienced _because_ he's black? That's reverse racism.
It slightly parallels people who bash Iggy for having a "fake" butt yet applaud Nicki for the same thing. It's difficult to tell whether they're serious or sardonic.
Completely not the same.
SHAKHIR2
but nicki gets criticism for her fake butt... i'll just say as someone from Australia...Iggy's rapping accent is very fake and forced and sounds fucking horrible. Not to mention her music is trash but she gets accolades like "best hip hop artist" tf? Forbes magazine wrote an article about Iggy and the title was "Hip hop is run by a white Australian woman"..i think people dislike her because she obviously sucks yet she is being shoved down our throats. Also, Canadian accents sound a lot like American accents anyway so its not like Drake is forcing a fake accent so u cant compare him to Iggy in that sense. Whether he portrays a fake persona in his music is a different story.
Sway didn't ask them about drake.
Exactly. People get on Iggy but there are many artists faking who they are.
Eve Lookin MAD Thick Yo...🙏
As soon as she came on screen that was my exact thought lol.
same thought as soon as i seen her lol
livin that good married life. lol. most people put on a few lbs in the first year or two of marriage because they're just all in love and not as focused on working out and whatnot. she looks GOOD. happy.
***** I see what you wrote, and was like, 'da fuck this nigga talk in bout', then I seen it was sloppy toppy.....you foul bra
Ally V Exactly. She in a good place.
i wish more artist would stop giving this iggy " rapper" a pass ...
this is why people steal black culture and get away with it , and what is she representing?
right its sad hun
Yea but Eva and Jill can't just go home at the end of the day like the rest of us. If they say something too crazy then they have to deal with idiots with no lives calling them names on twitter because their little feelings were hurt. So its not worth it to them. I bet you anything that they feel a lot stronger than what they are saying but they don't want to deal with the drama.
christophermc really ? lmfao
christophermc LMAOO NO ITS NOT
***** you sound so stupid bro
I love their response about Iggy, her voice really is biting from Da Brat and others, and I feel like more people would love her if she represented where she came from as well as rap the way she talks.
yeah i see what your saying but rap in an Australian accent sounds fucking horrible lol. (im australian) Iggy just needs to disappear. cant wait til her 15 mins are up
TheCudiii there are aussie rappers that sound dope.... but the radio ride people like 360... stop bitchin out on yo own country
verceti23
nah, its not for me. rap in an Aussie accent or a british accent makes my ears bleed. Just coz im from Aus doesnt mean i have to like Australian rap foh...according to white people this isnt my country anyway
verceti23
I can at least respect 360 for keeping it to his native accent. I'm not well versed on his music, but I'm aware of his skills as a battle rapper.
Phyuck Yiu yeh ill giv it to his battle rap
LOL. Eve was on a roll at 10:54 until she said Iggy has a nice body at 11:25. Look at Jill Scott reaction at 11:28 - 11:36 I was cracking up and agree with Jill's sentiments. LOL
I feel where Eve and Jill are comin' from as far as Iggy is concerned. As a child of music, she doesn't upset me as far as being in the hip hop genre, my only issue is the issue that was spoken of here in this interview; and that's her "blaccent". It would be dope to hear her flow in her Australian accent, you know...where she's from. She's not from Atlanta or from the south so why choose to sound like someone from there? That's what I don't get. Much respect to her success though. But I see how people are a little "confused" so to speak.
***** Yeah bruh, she's a caricature artist at best. I don't know who told her that what's she's doing is cool, but I agree, it needs to stop.
The fact that she is not rapping her in accent means that she doesn't know how to do that. Leave the girl alone
I just feel like they going in on her all because of her "blaccent" is they just being petty. The girl came here when she was 15. & how old is she now?? At some point your accent changes when you live somewhere for a long time.
Anuska Webster Nah, she still sounds Australian in her interviews and sounds like a bad impression of a southern chick in her music. That's what everybody has an issue with. People aren't taking away the fact that she may be talented, but people wanna hear what she has in her natural accent and dialect.
But the way i seeing it this and Jill scott said it aswell. Everyone has their influences. So maybe she grew up lisining to hip hop and liked the bratt' styl, music, flow are whatever. Why does that make her "fake or not being herself" all of a sudden. If she wants to rap with an "blaccent" thats her preference. No one should be judging her preformances are the way she handles herself. Its just petty and a dubbel standard.
BABY! When Jill's first album came out. I bought early in the morning and played it after school non-stop. Just feel good soul music. A Long Walk and Gettin' in the Way will always be my favorites. I need Hidden Beach Jill Scott on this new album. She tried the hip hop thing and it was coo', but uh uh. I need real r&b. I know she can do it. Eve is coo'. I've never owned an Eve album, but when she's on the radio, I won't change the station. When she's on tv, I won't change the channel. I loved her sitcom. Glad they didn't give that wack ass MC Lyte type politically correct answer. I have a better solution for Iggy. Give her a huge pay out and make her sign a contract to NEVER do "music" again. That would make my year.
Eve keeps gettin hotter - I need a woman like that - such a difference in these two beutifull ladys then these housewife women i see…
I Feel Jill on the country, thats the way i feel with it, im dwn with C&W, bobby womack did it, terrance howard been dwn we got roots deep in it
LaCheleWallace Yess!! That album was everything! Its played repeatedly!
***** Chile, I still play it all the time.
LaCheleWallace
I hear that! Its an essential album!
I was in middle school when that album came out. I played it till it broke years later. One of the greatest albums ever. Plus I agree with you about ight. I don't care about the blackest I think she is simply garbage
Eve and Jill are beautiful.
Jill is so captivating, doesn't matter that she is talking about. That voice, her tone, her choice of words.
Wow, they really won't let Iggy enjoy her success. but singers get a pass when they sing in american accents ? but y'all wanna label iggy as having a blaccent ?
Nicki Minaj has done pop music, raps about the gang life and was never in a gang nor was she ever a gang banger. She's spoken in british accents, wore blond wigs, stole Lil' Kim's entire image but nobody has questioned her authenticity or has made her feel undeserving of her success. Like beyonce channelling Tina because thats who she emulated. We shouldn't be offended when a white artist loves our culture and emulates what they grew up on. MANY BLACK ARTISTS appropriate other cultures and it always gets a pass. Why do you y'all have a problem with a white female hip-hop artist ? Iggy has her own sound and lane. let her do her thing. There are so many black artists on the come up who you should be promoting and supporting, y'all talk about the "state of hip hop" so much but will allow garbage on the charts. go and support your own people if Iggy is such a problem for y;all. it's sad to see. and i dont wanna see ANYONE say "Hip hop is diverse or world wide" anymore. because clearly people want it to be a "Only black" thing.
singing is different. Many can not really tell who has an accent when singing. But sometimes you can hear. Even in Adele's music you can hear her accent slightly at times. This is due to the rhythm and tune of a song. It also depends on who's listening. Some can tell the difference between Texas country and Tennessee country singers but to many they can not, they just sound southern. To the rest of the comment, especially iggy having her own sound and lane? I'll just laugh at that and walk away. It's obvious you do not understand the conversation at all but see it as people picking on her
Mary D i will not stand for hypocrisy. idk why iggy is everybody's scapegoat all of a suddent. there are so many people in music who are fraudulent and have spoken and done horrible things but nobody questions their authenticity or forms together to cast them out the industry like they are doing to iggy. people need to re-examine their priorities.
I understand your point but do you understand their point. Eve and Jill's point? I do not agree with everyone who goes against ugh. But I agree with them. There are Australian rappers that did not loose their accent! There is a hip hop culture that I googled and why didn't iggy represent that!! There is only one other white rapper I listen to- eminem!!! And to me! I am just saying TO ME, HE DOES NOT HAVE THE "blaccent". But of course I am in my late 30s. So there is a BIG DIFFERENCE between a rapper and a MC/Lyricist!!! I grew up listening to MCs that rapped about something other than hoes and drugs. I have not bought I full rap/ hip hop (and there is a difference) since 98 or 99. And the most recent is just a couple of songs of the watch the throne album. So my point is to me it's not just her being "black" and sounding like everyone else. But to me! Once again I am saying In my opinion I would prefer to listen to any MC that can spit and the beat is good and they are talking about something.
Your not really getting the point of this whole debate are you?
vante Valo not at all
2 beautiful black queens. DAMN!!!!!!!!!
Jill Scott is a Beautiful "Black" Woman
Jill Scott's assessment was on point. Eve's perspective was watered down. As expected.
Eve took the words right out of my head about Iggy. I got not problem with her being in the rap world because of her skin color. But her accent is not where she comes from, other than that. She doesn't give me a headache, but I wouldn't buy here album, but I'm watch her perform on Tv.
"They grew up with our shit" -- case closed
"But Australia is dope, from their rapping style to fashion" -- case reopened
Ha
JusSick24 but we ain't try a copy the aussie accent and nothing else for that matter. The world bites off a us so case closed again
lashirnette not what I was getting at... "'They grew up with our shit' --case closed" , to me, was implying that it is ok for Iggy to copy our style... My comment was to tell anyone who agrees with it, that she can be herself and still be cool... case reopened again due to the case closing for the wrong reason...
JusSick24 first off you're a weirdo for going "ha" for someone not responded. Excuse me I have a life. Secondly when did I say it wasn't ok for her to be herself. Thirdly, I HIGHLY doubt she'd be who she is or anywhere as big with an Aussie flow can't see that "crossing over" because it hasn't. Can you? To say so is a lie. But was has been successful for this lady is "borrowing a flow" and whyyy did she "borrow" this flow? Because she grew up to our shit...
Jill Scott's voice is soothing to the soul...I love her music
I love these two women! Great Spirits through and through!! I have had the pleasure of meeting them both before the break thru fame, & they have always stayed true to themselves :P Real people will always have my support
Jill Scott 😍😍 Woman Crush Foreverrrrrr
Eve is so gorgeous!
My fellow blacks, since when did we become this petty, insecure, bitter and over indulgent?
Our music is perceived as compelling enough to evoke attention and emulation from others, and we react with anger, respite and envy.
Nobody, culture or people has exclusive rights to their specific culture. Culture is an evolutionary attribute that has always been shared, imitated and emulated by various civilizations in history.
This conversation has gone on for too long and is in fact, becoming rather irritating and annoying. Blacks sitting on their asses and presiding over who is qualified enough to copy their culture or not. How silly and pathetic.
Two of my favorite ladies in music 😍
"Why you in my womb?" HAHAHAHAHA SO GOOD!
I love Jill Scott❤️❤️❤️
ME TOO!!!!
Meek Milly & Eve track would be dope
They where both on the Young Chris - Philly Shit remix
Philly in the building!! I love me some Eve & Jill!! I really respect Eve and Jill's opinion on Iggy. I so agree! I dont really think Iggy is HipHop I think she is HipPop to me. A dope beat with poppy like lyrics. Eve is Hip Hop! I remember buying her first album in 99', album still goes hard!! I think these new categories are just ridiculous! Iggy's ''Fancy'' was a nice record, catchy but I just dont see where her music is HipHop. Im no hater by means! I think it would be far more dope if she were herself. Nowadays its hard to respect this era because the feeling of it brings no originality. But I will say I'm really ready for my girl Jill to drop a new album!! Lord I play her first one to death!! Classic!! My girl Jill doing big things and looking stunning!
Glad we ain't gotta listen to her and now she a one hit wonder.....
I like this interview. They gave their honest opinion.
Which means they admitted they like things about her even though they have a few issues.
Real women.
Jilly from Philly, legendary!
Jill Scott smiles is beautiful.
Jill Scott OMG!GORGEOUS!!!
I love me some Jill omg! She could get it
Dammm Eve looking HeLLa FLY.... Jill S still killing it !
That would be dope Eve & Miss "Jilly " Jill Scott on a song together.
they did...the song is called SHAME
Jill n Eve came into the game as unique and sexy ladies and now are two beautiful grown ass women!!!! Damn i love me some Jill..
I love that thickness on ms. scott. just like my girl now
Eve do it, eve do it. Eve is like okay, god damn eve is so fineeeeee!!!. Me and this woman can make a love novel underneath the bed sheets anytime, oh boy.
damn eve looking real good .haven't seen her in a minute
the problem with iggy isn't that she is white, it is that she does mediocre hip hop music while we have geniouses like azealia banks and nicki minaj who do much better music but do not get nominated for grammies and AMA's. Her album sold 60.000 copies the 1st week, nicki and azealia sold way more than that! granted iggy did have very successful singles but how does that earn her a grammy and AMA when she is making mediocre music?
Eminem is arguibly one of the best lyricists ever and he is white! Nobody gets mad at him because he deserves his accolades!
look at eve, black women age so gracefully
I would respect Iggy more if she painted her face black and lips red when she performed in concerts or in her music video. You wanna be a caricature of black women, go all out. Keep the accent in all your interviews and award speeches. She is a fucking minstrel
Love these 2 women and yes if you use a blaccent you leave yourself open to criticism get over it
I just... They both are just beautiful. They both are gorgeous
I mean God damn! These two women look so good. Two well spoken very beautiful ladies, respect
Let me try this out.
2:14 Eve and Jill Gets a Ring (eve and jill talks about their lifetime movie "With This Ring")
6:55 Jill Scott is Pregnant! (In the works for a new album)
7:58 Eve is Going Back to Therapy (Eve may go back into the studio)
8:28 Iggy Reps With a Blaccient (eve and Jill speak on Iggy not being authentic)
11:28 Eve is a Cue? (eve changes her American slang in an English way)
12:30 Jill Lip Syncs (Jill sings over her own track to entertain sway)
14:10 Unrealistic Beauty (Jill and eve speak on their video and photos leaks)
20:14 Heather B Gets to the Root of Things (Heather B asks, why weren't Jill and eve in The Roots' video of a song they help create)
Eve reminds me of Whitney Houston
I always thought Eve is gorgeous, I don't care what anyone says. Oh Eve married the billionaire, well done to her and she hasn't forgotten her roots, i love her even more for that.
Never seen Eve look this good. Damn.
Scott still sings better than most contemporary singers, stuffed nose and all.
IGGY is NOT really IGGY ( the artist the persona) she writes 0 and I Mean 0 of her Raps Songs . SKEME the Rapper from LA wrote all of her songs on the New Classic and her pervious Mixtape and HE IS (a BLACK MAN) that's why she SOUNDS SO BLACK. People are NOT STUPID they can see she's Unauthentic, And NOT herself on record, Because SHE didn't write the song she's mimicking the writes delivery and tone .
*From the start IGGY had a NUMBER of BLACK Male and FEMALE Rappers write for her.
In all their bios on twitter they are songwriters and have written for her .
Skeme @Skeme( He's written for Rita Ora , & Iggy)
Gizzle @BxtchImGizzle(she's written for Snoop, T.I. ,Trey Songs, Iggy, Boys Noize, B.O.B, TY$, YG) Iggy met Gizzzle thur T.i. because Gizzle has been writing for T.I for YEARS!!!
STIX (@wattsStix) Snoop Iggy - he wrote the"Murder Business"
Most of these rappers aren't authentic or themselves on record though. Drake talking about catching bodies, Rick Ross raps like he a cocaine cowboy, and I can go on and on. So if she's not authentic, it's a problem? Lol y'all are a trip.
Thank you JILL for your honesty.
I think I like Ruff Ryder Eve better....
These two. God Daaaaaaaamn they are so fine. Philly is looking like a place I need to revisit now.
Eve isn't going to the studio
lol. that was obvious
Man!!!! Jill though 💣🎺
HOLYYYYY EVE IS GORGEOUS
eve and jill scott still looking good as. love them.
Jill Scott i love u!!!!
Am I the only man crushing on Jill Scott right now??? I know I'm not
There's a BLACK COUNTRY Singer who sounds just like a WHITE MAN win he SINGS , now do he have a "WHITECENT" ???
IRON MIKE ... Based on the history of Country music he doesn't; or if that black man is from Texas(I.E), country is his root. Iggy's natural accent is Australian.
just sayin--i have no opinion on iggy--or jill scott..but saying that..i do respect jill scotts music..but its very fu$%ing funny that jill scott replied to iggy the way she did about she dont come from where the music came from..but a few minutes ago..she said she was importing COUNTRY into her music? makes no fu#$#sense at all... ----------- still thinking about that..and still dont get it.. the pot calling the kettle black (no pun intended)
country music is still american music, because she's black doesn't mean she can't have a country influence in her music. being influenced by something is totally different to totally different to straight RIPPIN it. so, no, she did not contradict herself. she means that Iggy - in her music - is not representing who she is in real life. she's rippin an american accent, a black sound (and i'm not talking about hip hop - anyone can do hip hop) and she even bought herself a brand new fat ass so...you're not making sense to me
Country music has roots in the same music as r'n'b, blues, gospel, and jazz.....just styled differently
Country stems from rock which is from rnb so shut the fuck up
BigG121000 country had origin in european music.
leteflondondu92 origins, perhaps, but blues and gospel have certainly influenced what country music has become. ..
EVE AINT HAPPY IN HER MARRIAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON BACK HOME................
Just imagine an American rapper rapping with a Australian accent. It would be the same type of reaction.
EVE GREW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WWWWWWOOOOOOWWW KUDOS!
Someone (mainly black women) help me out. Why is it when a black woman wed a white dude other black women praise her and him. Black dude weds a white (or anything other than black) and the world falls apart.
Just pettyness of the individual. Don't worry about it too much bruh. Not all black women care about that. Its just the ones in your vicinity. Move around see the world.
G. Warren Because black people are weird like that ;)
I agree with Sunny. Pettiness with selfishness and rejection makes more for an emotional outrage. But, Its more pettiness though. Really...
hiphopgamer215 Some black women... I see interracial couples all the time. I smile at them, they smile back. I especially love to see families. The babies are adorable. My family history is something of mixed brew and I accept it and other peoples choice on it.
Facts bruh. People give zero fucks if a black woman marries a white man but if one of us marries a white woman then its "oh they're taking our women"
Eve is extremely talented and Jill Scott too. I had no idea she was the original rapper on that song, and Jill wrote a CLASSIC!
Eve looking tasty
Jill Scott is genuine all the way. she must be a poet.
Eve and Jill is entitled to their opinions but their opinions doesn't carry any fair logic. They talk about her authenticity but correct me if I'm wrong. About 90 percent of the rappers are fake. It's okay for Rick Ross to capitalize off of selling himself as a cocaine cowboy when he was a CO. Drake rapped about catching bodies and I can go on and on. Why is this cool? It's all entertainment until Iggy does it. Some of y'all need to stop!
Jill Scott and Eve love you LADIES 💖
My Issue is not with the White Artist it is the RACIST WHITE MEDIA who cause this DIVIDE among the people and I think they do it on purpose. I think Ed Shereen, Adele, Sam Smith, Bruno Mars regardless of their race are Extremely Talented and DOPE artist who go out of their way to respect the artist in their style of music before them. The problem I have is that the White Media and Award Shows seems to go out of their way to finally acknowledge a Genre of Music they never cared about once somebody who is NOT BLACK is doing it. That shit is just so Disrespectful to me. Again, I got love for Adele but how does she come to the US and BLOW UP BIGGER than Jill Scott who been doing that type of Soulful Music long before Adele but yet I rarely see Jill Scott perform at the Grammy's and things like that. Also with Hip Hop, I'm sure they're going to reward Iggy and I won't hate because the girl had a big year, but can they recognize the other Hip Hop Artist as well? Last Year Macklemore deserved to win but I don't think anybody would have complained if Kendrick just got Hip Hop Album of the Year and Macklemore won the rest of the Categories, that would have been FAIR and I doubt you would have hear any complaints!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ LOVE EVE
Slick Rick is the best example of a hip hop artist from a different region embracing their own accent, and did incredibly well. One of the best!
Jill Scott = Amazing!
Eve = Gorgeous, but stay the fuck away from rap! ...and please don't fuck up Jill Scott's album!!!!!!!!!!
Well I see the ppl have spoken! I will not let me daughter be a Iggy fan and I think the consensus is everyone see that she is something she's not and she need to be paying Da Brat royalties for literally stealing her sound and voice! She's not that chick and won't battle anyone in a rap off! Not Eve not Jill, not Nikki Manaj, hell Missy hasn't been on the scene and would crush her with ease!
Great interview. Love these 2
All we have to do is LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO JAZZ
All Iggy proves is that America is still racist. Eve and Jill trying to be politically.
Point blank, all these artists doing is putting on a costume.
Sway said something that was very on point. The media will put the Kardashians, Beyoncé, Nicki and other people on pedal stools because of their beauty but will never include people live Eve who never had surgery before and is just naturally beautiful to their list. I would love for Eve to make another album, but with the state of hip hop and how watered down and stupid things are, I don't blame her if she don't make an album, because let's be honest, your record will only sell if you sound like an idiot. Side note: I'm just realizing that that Jill Scott was Sheila from Why did I get married, lol.
These two are destine to make an album together!! How dope would that sound??
Just because it looks like Iggy just came on board with her rap, does not mean she slept probably some years doing her craft you all. dont hate, appreciate. get together, I like her, I think she is good like Eve or any female rapper.
They didn't diss Iggy. Sway asked a question they gave an honest answer. That's their opinion. The media blew it out of proportion and Iggy fed into it and made it even bigger. Eve and Jill have no reason to hate on that girl they BEEN doing this and still is...
Damn eve!!! Look at the swing on that back porch. Lol. Got damn!! I'm a hold this L for being thirsty. Pass me that water my niqqa.
Damn, Eve is freakin' gorgeous. She looks totally different from how I remember her in the 90's.
YALL AINT PEEP EVE STOP HER SELF FROM ROLLING HER EYES WHEN SWAY ASKED HER ABOUT IGGY LMAO
I love Jill Scott with a passion.
E V E don't wanna say dammit Sway I'm rusty! Over in England living the life!
Eve looks great. Better than she ever did before, actually, and she's always looked good, so that's saying alot.
UGGH!!! I FU*KING LOOOVE JILL SCOTT!
Love these Ladies, Great Interview!
"Mixture of the Brat and Eve"...could not have said it better myself...
It's something to this day about Eve that I absolutely admire and love about her essence. It's so.....I don't know....but I know that I LOVE her personality and the fact that she still represents one of the sexiest female rappers ever. Man....
I love EVE
Love 'em both!
Extremely powerful interview. We love ya Jill & E-V-E
iggy is Elvis 2.0 because she is a blonde white girl so she is more vulnerable
Eve seem like she done with music. she didnt seem too excited about talkin music
This is the REAL issue: when Iggy raps she sounds American/Urban, but when she speaks she STILL has her VERY thick Australian accent. When Drake raps, he sounds urban, but when he talks, he sounds like a prep boy. No diss or shade towards either artist.
Eve n Jill Scott are beaufiful..can't wait to hear their new music
Mrs Jill Scott you are so amazing
>>>Jill Scott is the definition of adorable. She's a sweet person.
Sway rocking an eMC Sweater!
Very good interviewer sway is thé best iam big fan of your show
If 90 percent of these rappers are fake, why can't Iggy be?
Those two ladies are Soooo fine!!!
