Talib Kweli Defends Macklemore's "White Privilege 2." Says "Fuck Iggy Azalea" For Thinking It Was Dissing Her & For Stealing From The Culture

Macklemore just released a song titled "White Privilege 2." In it, there's a line that mentions Iggy Azalea.

“You’ve exploited and stolen the music, the moment, the magic, the passion the fashion, you toy with / The culture was never, yours to make better / You’re Miley, you’re Elvis, you’re Iggy Azalea / Fake and so plastic, you've heisted the magic / You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped and you ran to hip hop / It's so fascist and backwards that Grand Master Flash will go slapping you bastards," the Seattle native raps.

A Twitter fan asked Azalea if she had heard Macklemore dissing her in the song. The Australian artist responded by saying he shouldn't have pretended to be her friend over the last several years if that's the way he felt.

Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli soon jumped in, saying Macklemore was his friend and that the song was great. He then tore into Azalea.

"The fact @iggyazalea thinks Macklemore song was a diss to her, instead of actually listening, is proof of her privilege. Fuck Iggy Azalea," Talib wrote on his Twitter page. "True story. I actually rooted for Iggy when she first came out. But she's disrespected hip hop culture one too many times. @IGGYAZALEA years ago, Macklemore did a song called White Privilege saying ppl compared him to Eminem. Did Eminem take it as a diss? No. @IGGYAZALEA The reason Eminem didn't take it as a diss is cuz, unlike you, he is not a cultural appropriator. He respects hiphop."
