Macklemore Explains Miley Cyrus & Iggy Azalea "White Privilege ll" Call-Outs

FUSE TV - Macklemore Explains Miley Cyrus & Iggy Azalea "White Privilege ll" Call-Outs

At the end of last week, Macklemore and his right hand man Ryan Lewis dropped a nine-minute song titled "White Privilege ll." As you could guess, it's sparked a ton of controversy--lyrics like "We take all we want from black culture / But will we show up for black lives?" inspired and enraged people all over the Internet.

Another point of contention was found in the second verse, where Mack name-checks a few familiar pop stars from the voiced of an enraged listener: "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 in / Your brand of hip-hop, it's so fascist and backwards."
