Good article on Iggy Azalea, the how and why she blew up and collapsed.

hm might peep

hated her

how do u rip off gwen Stefani and da brat simultaneously and get a grammy nomination for best rep album smh

That fat ass?

that's not good enuff!

She's an interesting case study of authenticity vs. inclusion in hip hop.


Also, she got a donk.

Yea its really just a case of a unique look and fat ass

I started this. Then stopped.

You perplex me oats.

Interesting read, though not surprising that people told her
It wouldn't work lol.

Honestly if she would of went pop, she'd be a huge star by now.

Very interesting to read she's actually a student of hip hop and knows her shit.
Wasn't enough I guess lol.

Atleast she had a passion for it, from what I read. She was determined
And confident. Gotta give props for that.

Alas she's a mystery.

word @Innovator. the vibe I got was that to her being a rapper was kinda like how being Batman is to a little kid, only she was able to make it reality. but really liking something and learning a lot about it isn't the same as being good at it.

Tbh the most interesting thing was her indifference to the whole situation
It was fucking weird lol

In one way I kind of get her view of it But her responses camecoff arrogant.
She fell hard lol. To bad she had the reddest nipple I've ever seen

yeah it's a really bizarre story, a lot more to her than I thought. also thought the writer was smart to include that 30 years ago she'd be a nostalgic one hit wonder, but she arrived at the pinnacle of think piece journalism.

I haven't read yet but let's be serious


She still a one hit wonder

She just happened to linger a little longer than she shouldve

I mean, she is a one-hit wonder, but in the past one-hit wonders just faded out of the picture. for someone with one good song, she's consistently talked about and written about etc. partially due to the nature of journalism today, but also because she offers a lens through which to view hip hop culture.

Yeah her one hit wonder status might matter

I mean she becaome a pariah so fast it's honestly amazing
She came out at the perfect time that's all.

The writing stating what @oats said proves that

10 20 years ago she would been just that, a one hit wonder.
She was ripe for the picking of the "social justice" justice we see
So heavy today.

You could say she almost a victim

I get the idea but tbc on my life i forgot she existed in life before this thread as of today

stfu @Bags you're her biggest fucking fan on this site. you died a little inside when you called her a one hit wonder because you know all the lyrics to all her songs and they're all hits to you fuck you

LMAO gonna neg u when I get back to my desk off gp alone

Sup man why did you stop posting in my threads. Everyone else is boring to fuck with, come on back boi!

Cringe

Oh quit confusing cringing with butterflies in your stomach, nigga you love me
