I can't take any of these opinions or hate towards Iggy seriously because the majority of them are oozing hypocrisy. Give it a rest already. Talent in itself is subjective to the listener really. I know several people who would claim Iggy is a better rapper than Nicki and several more who would say the opposite. Because you don't care for her music or it doesn't speak to you, doesn't mean its trash. End of. Likewise, who sets the golden standard for what is hip-hop and what isn't? How can you b*tch about Iggy being in hip-hop categories but then claim Nicki and Azealia are?? Nicki rapping over pop beats is no different than Iggy rapping over pop beats or Azealia rapping over dance beats. And what is this nonsense about Iggy being overhyped? Because one magazine that knows nothing about music claims she runs hip-hop? Everyone here is claiming that the media is over hyping her but aside from Forbes, I don't see it. No sh*t Billboard would name her one of the top artist of the year, Fancy was the song of the Summer and she was featured on the runner up song Problem. You can keep calling The New Classic a flop but how many other debuting artist in pop, hip-hop, or R&B sold more than 430k this year? I understand the argument behind the hate but the approach is flawed. Using Iggy as the scapegoat will only paint a picture in her favor towards the GP. When these "outspoken" rappers decide to call everyone out, maybe I'll take them seriously. The same ones crying culture appropriation are the first ones to collaborate with Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus if they came calling. Funny how no one really came for them.
