Talib Kweli and Iggy Azalea clash over Macklemore’s “White Privilege II”

On his new song “White Privilege II,” Macklemore raps about appropriation, “The culture was never yours to make better/ You’re Miley, you’re Elvis, you’re Iggy Azalea.” Iggy was not happy, but when she took her discontent public, Talib Kweli stepped up to shut her down. 

Despite all this, we may want to take a deeper look at Macklemore’s meditation on privilege. In fact, it’s OK to like the song.
