http://www.vladtv.com - Chris Webby sat down with VladTV and shared his thoughts on the emergence of so many white rappers over the last three years, saying he was around before the "white explosion" in Hip-Hop, and agrees with Lord Jamar's take that white rappers are guests in the house of Hip Hop, but only to a certain extent. He knows that white rappers have to work harder than their black/Latino peers and was willing to do the legwork, as other white artists have done.
Webby also speaks on Iggy Azalea's success, saying he doesn't understand why he doesn't hear her Aussie accent when she spits, but overall thinks she's a talented artist with much to contribute. He also says he was one of the first to really pursue indie Hip-Hop full-fledged, and seeing other artists come behind him and yet get further is frustrating, but he knows it was a learning experience because he's experiencing much more success at this point in his career.
