i like the fact shes said the thing about people always giving more credit to the 'white masterminds' behind non white artists. she should prob get more credit for the direction shes gone in and her 'sound' cos she does have one regardless of who produces for her but she might be reaching a bit as most of her first album had beats from white producers.
the whole diplo thing i think might be more contentious for her just cos theyre no longer dating, but her album was basically a product of what diplo deejays so she cant say his influence is zero even if he didnt produce much.
basically though, i think this is just yet more brilliant press for her. shes great at pushing peoples buttons. got to love it.
this is a good quote -
" At the time, it was really like "I think I'll talk about Liberia and stuff like that" and it didn't really mean much to me, but it means much to me now when I hear it being juxtaposed with the fact that "oh, this guy is allowed to come in and bring issues forward about whatever, Brazil or something like that, but the person from Africa can't bring us issues," you know what I mean?"
