Is Iggy Azalea on the same level as Nicki Minaj?
No…would be the answer one would receive if they asked Grammy award winner Common, who weighed in on the comparisons between the two hours ago.
Why he feels Iggy would be incapable of taking on Minaj in a Rap battle?
His opinion after the jump…
He is correct tho. In my opinion Iggy is no where Nicki’s level at all. I mean the only thing her fans talk about is that #1 single. How about her album? Isn’t it stuck somewhere in 400k world wide after 6 months of its realese? So Iggy fans should calm down a little bit.
Nicki slays her even we we don’t throw sales into the equation but I don’t want to shade Iggy too much because it’s not like she’s trying to beat Nicki, she’s just trying to do her.
We don’t even have to take it to sales honey and we don’t even have to take it gutter hardcore Nicki. Even if you take a Pop song from Nicki and a Pop song from Iggy you will see that Nicki’s metaphors and overall delivery are on a ten at all times. Iggy still slays me with her flow though.
All yall eat me box
And Nicki will never be on kim’s, dead lol i kid.
Yes dear, because she surpassed her years ago.
Biitch don’t u have an A meeting to attend you drunkn ho…
No shade but coming first doesn’t make you better. TGJ said something that stuck with me once and it was something like Nicki took Kim’s recipe and made a better meal out of it. Mad true.
Nicki took Kim’s recipe and the industry made it better for Nicki. The industry is totally different these days than when artist came out when Kim did. Nicki should be thanking God she didn’t have to be first.
Worry about that MSN u standn for u broke down ran tthru ho
‘MAN’
I was playing Damn! ya’ll are so pressed on this dry tired a** site lol you h**’s need to get over yourselves.
HONEY DONT APOLOGIZE to this broke bitvhes!! I gotcho back!! U told the gotdamnit truth. Tell these hoez to eat u
Def Jam tried their damned hardest to pump Iggy up to be this superstar but rap isn’t like Pop, you actually have to be a good rapper to be respected even if you’re spitting on a Pop beat. At the end of the day, the only place Iggy beats Nicki is in her videos which are far more creative that Nicki’s but as far as being an overall artist goes Iggy isn’t touching her.
Stfu u dicksucka
I still can’t believe people think Kim is a better rapper than Nicki just because Nicki copied her fashion sense. Kim knew how to pick good singles but that’s about it, she’s not a smart business woman like Nicki is and doesn’t have as variety of themes in her songs like Nicki does and when it comes to raw lyrical skill/diction? Let’s not. Nicki beats her there too.
Hit the nail on the head sis, Kim’s singles were better but she wouldn’t know what to do if she had to battle Nicki.
Rap reviews and critical acclaim something much different…. 5 mics yet for Nicki? 4? 3? Oh ok..
But what are 5 Mics really worth when we know Kim got one even though she uses a ghostwriter. Do your research and find out the connection between Kim, TI and Iggy.
TI was signed to Atlantic at the same time as Kim and he used to write a lot of her lyrics and that’s the REAL reason Kim is always showing Iggy love because they both know the truth tea.
Nicki may be a lot of things, but she can rap and she does have a decent singing voice and her songs are good so you can sit down with your HipHop credibility b******* because that credibility sure as hell isn’t enough to make the people who have it relevant outside the hood.
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t we talking about HIP HOP? So hood credibility DOES matter. Black people are so desperate to get white people’s approval that they forget the people that matter the most, in case ya’ll forgot, the hood created hip hop, so it’ll always be relevant. Kim has two things that are more important than any chart certifications and business ventures. Real critical acclaim and a Grammy. When Nicki gets that we can compare until then Kim still reigns supreme.
If we’re gonna try to discredit Kim coz she used a ghost writer, then we’ll have to discredit 90% of our favourite rappers. Let’s keep it real Jay,Snoop,Dr.dre, T.I and many more have used ghost writers before that doesn’t make them any less great. What actually made Lil Kim a great rapper wasn’t so much her lyrics, it was her delivery and stage presence. forget who writes your bars, CAN YOU DELIVER THEM? CAN YOU SELL THEM LIKE THEY’RE YOUR OWN?
Kim can flow better than Nicki & Kim performs better live than nicki even lyrically Kim is better than Nicki
Lyrically?? Nicki writes her own bars, Kim uses a ghost writer.
Ho change yo screen name b4 i slap the shyt outta yo mammy for birthing u. U sound stupid…THOT!!
Ummmm do you know anything about Kim? Kim came in an era where female rappers where trying to get respect as rappers! Her albums push the envelope and pretty much gave women the feel that it’s alright to a act like a man, and that it’s alright to deliver rhymes and be just a vulgar with what they spit, just like their male counter parts. Nicki isn’t the better rapper, she’s coming up in a different era! Without Kim there would never be a place for Nicki or iggy, and to say Kim wasn’t a smart business woman is INSANE. Their whole motive was money! Every endorsement nicki is doing Kim has already done.
When did Common’s opinion actually matter? Who gives AF what he has to say? We finally get more female rappers and here come the MEN in the industry trying to get them to compete. Iggy is Iggy and Nicki is Lil Kim on certain days, but lately herself. STOP COMPARING !
Lol, because Iggy’s label had nothing to do with that Forbes article right? If Iggy’s managers had their way Nicki would be out of the picture so don’t act like Common is the problem here.
Like ur struggling musty lip fav right?? Oh OKAAAAYYT!!!
Nuh uh sis, don’t play the sisterhood card now, cos you sure as hell weren’t talking about unity when Iggy got that number one and Nicki didn’t have one. Fact of the matter is that Iggy has every right to want to beat Nicki in the same way Nicki had every right to want to beat Kim. The difference is that Nicki beat Kim by being smarter and more talented than her while Iggy’s people tried to beat Nicki by getting her that on the verge deal just so Fancy would slay.
It’s clear u eat pus sy
No lies detected Common.
Onika >>>
Eat me…both of u
*kermit*
.
i saw that big bird avatar flop commetor threatening Career Ender, i’m here
Neither have churned out a classic album or song so who cares?? A bunch of catchy one liners and analogies don’t mean much when you’re continuously saying the same thing- generically. Missy, Lil’ Kim, Foxy, MC Lyte and Lauryn Hill will always come before either of these girls. Maybe not in #1 singles or iTunes or YouTube views… But as a legacy as rap pioneers and innovators for female rap- Nicki and Iggy both got a lot of work to do #WheresTheClassics #QualityPlease
Blazin’ ft. Kanye (go listen to Onika”S genious) >>>>>>
It’s cute but hardly a classic. What year did that come out? That’s the year it was forgotten and will be left in.
Nic’s classics
Moment For Life
Monster
Superbass
Roman’s Revenge
Did It On Em
Anaconda is a classic in the making
Lol I like all those songs but those are NOT classics honey. Those are some of her popular songs… But not classic. A classic would be Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop” or Missy’s “Get ya freak on” or Lil Kim’s “queen b****”. Songs that changed the game, told stories, were innovative and will always be played 5, 10, 20 years from now. Nobody will be playing any of those Minaj songs in decades and the delusion of you calling that CRAPPY ASS anaconda crap a classic. That’s delusional. Popular doesn’t equate a classic. Classic means timeless boo
I think it takes time to know whether a song is a classic. Im 100% sure that when Kim’s “classic” songs came out ppl didnt know they were classics yet.
Common is only saying what everyone already knows…the hip hop community has no love for Iggy. Its the reason she only collbas with white pop stars, where she drops a couple verses and have someone else sing a catchy hook.
This isn’t about Hip Hop, this is about talent and everyone can see that Nicki is better.
No ho that’s what YOU wish
No biitch…seriously nicki has the STUPIDEST stans omg yall some dumb b******
No lies were told!! I’m glad someone other than a fan cleared that up I love Iggy too but hell no she ain’t on Nicki’s lev’s!
Dumb THOT
Onig is a gimmick and a sell out, who aspires to be like her? Plus, she flopped on her second album she doesn’t even have longevity lol
that flop paragraph can be applied to your fave too
.
flopfronce
Look what we here, a member of the C00n hive worried about Queen Rih as usual
Thiefonce could never top the sales from her first album and she’s supposed to be the album seller, Queen Rih is a consistent seller faggggg
She flopped on her second album, how ? It is plat in the US n sold 2M WW. As for her longevity, her currently having 5 songs on the bb hot 100 at the same time, having certified singles n breaking recoeds on BB shows that she DOES have longevity. Stop trying to discredt Nic :-/
He mentioned someone named Dreezy. Who dat?
Shut up u funky biitch
I don’t have two shits to give about Hip Hop tastemakers and what they think because most of them are still stuck in the 90s want everyone to be a gangster rapper. The way I see it is like this, Iggy is a sweet girl who is really trying her best and is putting out really good singles and slaying me downe with her performances but she can’t beat Nicki because she isn’t as talented AND didn’t put in the ground work.
Nicki is better because she’s better not because Hip Hop says so but because it’s just true.
Word.
Ho
Mainstream media tried to dethrone Nicki when Iggy came but that’s not Iggy’s fault, like are we really gonna drag her because she can’t rap as well as somebody else?
Chile nicki old news…like yo box
I’ve only liked half of Nickis and Iggys albums… But Iggys flopped so…
Uggly isn’t on Nicki’s level, but she may be on her way. Uggly can ride that pop route all the way and no one will say anything, but Nicki has to balance hip hop and pop and I that’s a hard job. But Uggly may be on her way. My question is, can Uggly and Wacklemore make a hit without pop features? I’m still waiting. They’re really no more of rappers than Pit Bull and FloRida imo.
It’s only a matter of time before they do Iggy like they did Eminem. Take a goofy looking anomaly and pretend like she’s talented and boost her sales. They will soon be calling her the best female rapper alive knowing that she can barely rap and has goofy flow, just like Em. lol.
Let’s not, Eminem is white but a f****** hell of a rapper, it’s not his fault that he is white and that his skin color helps his career, didn’t he murdered Jay-Z on his own track, isn’t Jay-Z a BLACK rapper.
Stick to Pop music & Madonna you don’t know anything about the Hip Hop community. Eminem isn’t the greatest rapper alive common & nas could outrap his ass
He didn’t say that Eminem was the best rapper alive. He only said that he is a really great rapper. And it’s true. If you were a true rap fan,you would know that.
I found this girl Dreezy who Common mentioned. All i gotta say is her flow is at least tighter than Iggy’s.
http://youtu.be/hJW–8QZdVE
AND yo fav. Ho
Yup that’s a tight flow. I actually like this dong.
http://youtu.be/QSPPQQVPnYw
Who??? Figures a NO BODY giving an opinion ON and nobody (nicki) and praising a NOBODY (Dreesy) chile I can’t kii!!!
Common who? i don’t see him on the charts….
THATS the 1st thing u said that I agree with…u pronounced ho
‘Pronounced porno ho’
lmao @truth, you’re a mess!!! Stay off the Queens post. yasss nicki
As if there aren’t better rap artists he’s not on level with. People will say anything to build up their stock.
Of course. Stating the obvious and it doesn’t need a great bug explanation. She is the female version of Vanilla Ice. Two years from now we all will be saying ‘Who dat, who dat’.
Fucka
This fail of an attempt to promote Dreezy or whoever she is, smh! Leave Iggy alone Nicki’s time is up period!
Nicki is the most successgul female rapper ever n currently has 5 songs on the bb hot 100 including two top 5. How can u say her time is up ? #Delusional
CAUSE IT IS U HO
Nicki is better, i don’t get Iggy’s appeal.
And I don’t get nickis
But has there ever been any doubt, even on her crap songs like Anaconda, Nicki’s delivery is still 100x better than Iggy.
‘
Iggy fans can be in denial all they want but Nicki is a beast and Igor is well, a munchkin. Nicki is better.
Stfu lezbo!!
Nicki >>>>>>>>>> Iggy. In any aspect. Sales, impact, skills, versatility, live performances. EVERYTHING.
Me>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> u and the ho u call mom
So.. uggly has a radio deal + is white. N her album is flopping hard. BW isnt even top 5. Shes such a failure.
Like yo man…oops..u don’t have one
Anaconda wouldn’t even be top 15 if it wasn’t for Barbz refreshing VEVO every 30 seconds. What’s your point?
But its almost gold already…
Actually its already gold and it only took 3 weeks. They say Ana is on the charts because of streaming only but yet people buying it. So no ho, its a popular song and many love it.
Honey common is a queen that has NO relevancy
He hasn’t even heard iggy music so wtf he talkn bout? And nicki rhymes r nurse ryhmes. Why would anyone listen to the opinion of soneone who has NEVER really sold cds
He didn’t lie. I don’t need to explain the reason why,it’s pretty obvious.
Stfu BIITCH!!! How can he judge if he hasn’t really listened to Iggy u pathetic bum BIITCH!!! Little qween!
Get a GED before you talk to me.
Just Eat my pus sy and STOP talkin!!
I mean, was that ever a question?
Yeaaa Common. school em. Iggy is manufatured. White people swear she is the best female rapper ever all because she got a number 1 on those white washed ass charts. Then, they goin in all Nicki videos trying to say she can’t rap and dissing black people. What the hell they know about rap?
I love common. Testify is one of my favorite songs. He is true hip hop. He knows what he is saying. Hope he works with Nicki.
Iggy might not be able to take on Nicki, but what about this girl? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkMzUS_Fqec
