Santogold aka that singer chick who came out of nowhere is vying for some more publicity by saying that people tagging her music as hip-hop and/or R & B are ‘engaging in racist behavior’, i.e. placing a genre on her music without really listening to it.
“It’s racist. It’s totally racist…It’s pissing me off. I didn’t grow up as a big fan of R&B…It’s stupid. In the beginning I thought that was funny. I’m an ‘MC’, I’m a ‘soul singer’, I’m a ‘dance hybrid artist’. And some guy said I looked like Kelly Rowland!” One of Santogolds many public rants.
She’s definitely giving a lot of peeps the chance to get buzzed on her hateraide.
