Azalea’s rose garden path to fame has been fertilized by the rotting corpses of white female rap not-quites — from Icy Blu to Misa, Tairrie B to Princess Superstar, Yeastie Girlz to Northern State, Lady Sovereign to Uffie, Kreayshawn to Kitty Pryde. For 30 years, the music business has churned for Iggy Azalea, seeking a savior where one did not exist, or was not allowed to. Being blonde and beautiful meant nothing. In fact, it was made to seem like a roadblock. Twelve years ago, Spin magazine published a story called “Not Bad for a White Girl” about this stalled quest. G. Beato’s piece reads like a shame spiral, with several women prostrating themselves before an arrogant industry, and that industry’s power brokers yawning at the absence of a viable “Feminem.”
