This year’s ‘Wireless Festival’ had the pleasure of Iggy Azalea‘s presence hours ago, seeing the chart-slaying Rap force rock the event with a scorching live set.
There, one week after performing at the ‘2014 BET Awards’ did the star join forces with management-mate Rita Ora, who hit the stage to perform their collaborative jam ‘Black Widow.‘
How did they fare when put to the live test? Pretty awesomely, with both delivering faultless vocals and a charisma we hope is served in abundance in its supporting music video.
Will it be enough to reignite interest in the flop that was ‘The New Classic’? We doubt it. However, should Iggy play her cards right, she may have just found another smash hit in the single!
Check ’em out below…
Nice!
Of course, while it’s unfortunate that ‘Fancy’ sits atop the ‘Hot 100’ while ‘Classic’ struggles to soar in any of the markets it was released to, we can’t wait to see what Iggy wows the world with next.
After all, it wasn’t too long ago that a certain Rihanna was labelled a “singles act”, and so- if Iggy continues to churn out hit after hit- it won’t be long before her reign on the ‘Hot 100‘ spills over to the ‘200’ with ‘Classic‘s follow-up.
So, with a re-release on the way, here’s hoping Camp Iggy use ‘Fancy’s hype to push a body of work which explores the rapper’s range as a lyricist and vocalist, as it’s currently difficult to give her all the credit for selling her only #1 when it’s her featured guest that performs its catchiest part.
Are these wannabes still trying?
Queen Rita slaying so effortlessly.
Nicki and Rihanna replacements.
LITERALLY. Only difference is that Nicki and Rihanna have what it takes. These b****** are nothing without payola and industry connects.
So Iggy Iggz still hasn’t sold 300k? LE STRUGGLE!
Coming from a BLANDe stan?
I love Rita’s Outfit. Iggy is wearing the perfect outfit, now all she needs to do is go lay on the beach for awhile.
Nicki’s first album sold a million first month in America ALONE! You mean to say Iggy still hasn’t sold half a million worldwide after three or four months?
WHAT.
A.
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME.
Y’all act like Music sales in general aren’t on a decline. Don’t act like Nicki’s last album sold a million in the us. It was certified due to shipment
Attack of the motherfucking clones.
No no no! Y’all need to stop playing. Iggy still hasn’t sold 300 thou?
Her album will do fine. Give it time f****** hater. Wheres pills and roaches?
I think you mean Pills N Potions and it’s doing JUST fine dear. Almost at half a million sold. Now how you feel?
So let’s get this straight. My Queen sells 375k in the US in her first week and sells a million after four weeks.
Iggy sells 50k in her first week and hasn’t even sold 300k worldwide?
Please, if you’re going to call someone competition let it be someone who can actually….compete.
Say it again, suh say it say it again!
Nicki is a has been that clings on a useless BET award as if it’s a grammy
The struggle to sell albums is real.
The real struggle is ultraviolence third week sales
Iggy the Chart-Slayer, I like the sound of that TGJ.
But which chart is she slaying boo boo? Charli is selling Fancy and Iggy sure as hard d*** at a prison party isn’t selling TNC.
She’s currently slaying the hot 100 for the 6th week you know the chart that Nicki struggles to top even after 50 attempts
that me bitchez,iggy and iggy are hott as fire..preety girls.
Stfu lessor ass niggha
Lol That Grape Juice is so bitter, what a terrible blog. And to think Iggy has once gave you interviews… Her album is doing just fine for a white female rapper’s debut who only started to make a mark on the mainstream a couple of months ago. It has already quadrupled its first week sales, plus its been top 20 in the US for this entire time… its doing just fine, plus album sales are not that good nowadays anyway so Im sure her label isnt stressing over it.
Bitter? So her album isn’t flopping?
But tgj were the first ones to promote her
It’s not like they’re lying.
Were they bitter when they were endorsing her
True dat.
Grape used to love her until racism gate.
Girl I know. Such b*******
Ok, but would you still Stan for someone if they did what she did
She made a mistake and I forgave her so they should too
Is it by force that TGJ has to like her?
It’s obvious Grapejuice are Nicki STANS. Everytime im on here i see them say something POSITIVE about Iggy and then turn it into a NEGATIVE. Like STFU. They do the same thing with Rihanna because they’re Bey STANS as well. Blog correctly and stop being bias. We don’t give a damn about personal opinion, that’s what the COMMENT section is for. Geesh.
A must see ? PLEASE the performance was basic af, iggys live performances r trash. Nicki’s Phillyjam set was 10 times better
One hit wonder. Even white privilege cant stop her album from flopping. She’ll be gone soon ;).
@Metzo u dumb lil bitchass these h*** will never come close to nicki and rihanna. Stfu with your asshole licking ass u lil cockhead and go purchase preety hurts.
Song is cool tho.
Yesss Iggy!! Get it Rita!!!!! *Twerks to dat beat droppin*
This song is basic. Sorry not sorry. I love Iggy but TGJ said no lies, her album is struggling but for a new artist, it could be worse. Way worse. So I’m gonna ride it out & see how her & her team capitalize off of Fancy’s success, I will wait until then to form a concrete opinion. Also I bought her album & it’s decent, nothing special but better than I expected, so I do hope that she is able to make it happen
No Shade,
this stinks of white privilege, they’re both imitating successful black american based artists.
“Nicki minaj and Rihanna” but theres no need to feel some type of way…
Rita Whora has no success outside the UK and is a h** and a wannabe,
Iggzy Australia, is a wannabe and a tryer i respect her confidence though
coz she knows she’s garbage, i doubt she’s deaf…but let her get her money.
its hard out here.
Everyone deserves a chance, but lets not get carried away they’re not rivals to anyone…
Nicki Minaj is a hot ass MESS for shading her at BET,…JAY Z would never shade a rapper thats
not on his level. She basically showed everyone how insecure she is…as she is genuinely a good
rapper and very pretty in person as i saw her in her concert in hammersmith.
Obviously, she’s just insecure coz iggy is white and she (Nicki Minaj) wishes she was white too…probably only stopped bleaching, and took off the blonde wig coz now there is an ACTUAL white female rapper…
Tru. London
Bow down to a real Intelligent Goddess
Ratchet H***…
No shade? That was the epitome of shade baby girl. You need some sun.
@Boobie..u no they needed this shade..those two are wattles and they need to disappear ..no shade lol
White privilege? I’m not a huge fan of Rita but you do realize that she defected to the UK from Kosovo, a war torn 3rd world country. What a charmed life.
This rant makes me wonder… When WAS your lobotomy?
@Dustin …as my name my hint.. I’m from london and i know rita ora is from kosovo there is a huge albanian community in london..so sit down with that boo boo….being from england. i know the ff what I’m talking about white privilege is real… so u can just stfu…fair enough people like adele and eminem who are outstandingly talented but ..no way should mediocre talent be put on a pedestal… and i buy music so i have a write to an opinion …
Are people in here really acting like album sales in general are NOT on a serious decline this year? I don’t think any album released since December (except BEYONCÉ) went platnium. Certainly no albums from 2014 did, and I doubt more than 5-7 will by the end of the year at this point. They might as well add Spotify streams to certifications like they did with singles.
We all know lana will take 4 years to go platinum.
Just like Ciara’s last three failed to go gold.
I love seeing Icki & Rihoes replacements on one stage.
Slayedt
Two things.
1.) iggys second verse is pretty damn good.
2.) not a huge fan of Rita but her haters have really got to stop saying that the chick can’t sing.
Nothing to see here. Just a basic mess from rihqueens understudy.
Basic ass performance. Bye *exists*
I really don’t understand the hate she gets. People saying that she has a privilege because she’s white… PUH-LEAZE. Hip-Hop is African American dominated and nobody can sit here and say her success is because she is white, because believe it or not most of her fans are black. It is hard for a white rapper to make it in hip-hop and be taken seriously. You have Macklemore, Eminem, and Iggy. She is the only white female rapper to make it this far and that’s a milestone for making female hip hop more diverse. And also, it surprises me that Nicki stans are the ones always saying she has “white privilege,” when 1. Nicki is still more successful than her 2. She hasn’t even sold 300k 3. If Nicki is still way more successful than her then why are they even taking time to call her “white privilege” because it’s obvious being white is doing nothing for her album sales… She moved to the US alone and built herself from nothing just like Nicki, so just let the girl be. She automatically gets respect for following her dream this self. Whether she sells albums or not she is the only female rapper to have a number 1 and remain there for 6 weeks so let the girl have her minute of shine.
B****!!!! She hasn’t been accepted into HIP HOP CULTURE. SHE’S BEEN ACCEPTED INTO POP CULTURE WITH THAT POP ASS SONG OF HERS. I never hear hip hop heads talking about this h**! Unless it’s about her ass!!!
It IS white privelege!! If Nicki had released Fancy with the same wack ass verses and catcy feature from Charli XCX it would’ve FLOPPED HARDER THAN QUEEN MARIAH’S NEW ALBUM! Stop lying to yourself baby girl! It aint healthy!
Just because she is not successful doesn’t mean there is no such thing as “white privilege”
There are white media outlets going out of there way to call her the new Queen of Hip Hop…
– Forbes said she ran hip hop
– NY Times gave her a A for Effort… who else gets an A review of their album for making an effort?
– Universal put her on Dancing with the Stars and the Billboard Awards…
How many new black artists were put on the BIllboard Awards after only one single???
She is being crosspromoted on radio… Why isnt Tinashe or Sevyn Streeter being cross promoted on radio? They have potential crossover hits too
Universal does for her what they wouldn’t do for a black new black artist.
– Let’s not even talk about radio payola from Universal… chile
nicki dropped a 100 collab single before she dropped and gave her best of corse she would sell. but what about that second album already iggy has the longest running number 1 of a female rapper in history. and its harder cause she is white. she cab spit very well talent in a model package
No you moron, T-Pain was featured on every got damn single when he first came out and none of his albums ever went platinum. Future was featured on every got damn single and none of his album went gold yet. STOP REACHING H**!
I’m tired of you broke h0es tryna come up with excuses for Nicki’s success. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. She’s the most successful female rapper of ALL-TIME. End of story! Get it through your nappy ass heads like that Just for Me relaxer!!!
I’m not here for this. AT ALL. The industry is tryna make these two happen but it AINT working!
#TeamNicki #TeamRihanna
EXTERMINATE THESE CLONES!
Lauryn hill is the the most successful female rapper in history. Still to this day. Kim then nickithen nicki i
n a year Iggy will be on this list
No disrespect to Lauryn Hill but she is not the most successful female rapper. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is obviously the most successful album ever released by a female rapper (even though most of it is neo soul music) but in terms of SUCCESS, Nicki Minaj wins. Her net worth tops that of any female rapper and she well known worldwide. She’s appeared on Billboard more than any other female rapper and more than a lot of female artists period. She has a clothing line, custom makeup, a successful Moscato line, and a highly successful fragrance. Lauryn Hill is broke. Lil Kim is on the verge of being broke. Only one thats close to Nicki’s success is Missy Elliot.
And stop making predictions for Iggy. I’d rather wait to see where she is a year from now.
I get the hype superficial fame opps in the last few years. Nicki was pop and hip hop. Still a great rapper male or female. But her moves are only becuaebecause of lyte Roxanne latifah Missy kim lauryn hill…u can’t give it all to her altough she is not the original door buster. Nicki walked through door already opened by decades of great female rapper…Iggy is a doorbuster cause there never been a white international rapper. Nicki’s fame looked like kim. But kim gave us more moments she was christened by biggie and Niki by Wayne. But out of biggie and Wayne who’s the legend…biggie nicki is wonderful. But she was the only one in five years so the og’s competed with others in the sane era…success is earned unless nicki does something original then shell be as great as the success on paper looks. Kim print should be her album title. . .no no no shade
@dd
It’s obvious by the way you ended your comment that you’re a Nicki hater. Therefore I am done with the convo!!!
YES Lauryn Noel Hill is the most successful female rapper of all time.
1. The Miseducation has sold over 18 millon worldwide
2. The Score has also sold over 18 million worldwide
3. Pras acknowledged lauryn was the best writer in the group. She wrote some of Wyclef’s parts too
4. Lauryn is EASILY the greatest female lyricist ever and lyrics matter in east coast rap
5. This Miseducation tour is still the highest grossing tour by a female rap artist
6. LAuryn is NOT BROKE. lauryn chose not to pay her taxes for political reasons although I believe she has some SERIOUS mental health isssues and that s why she didnt pay.
7. Lauryn still makes money off of The Score and The Miseducation… ask Wyclef.
Kii at the haters clinging to Charli XCX just to bash Iggy. I love Charli but we all know she’s a flop. Boom Clap is only a hit because of the movie it’s tied to. I wish it wasn’t that way but whatever. And plus believe it or not I always hear people rapping along with Iggy. Black Widow is already getting airplay and it hasn’t been officially sent to radio yet. Stay mad.
Airplay? Where? In Australia maybe? Stop making things up, Rosie. We all know you’re a Nicki hater. And want anyone else to succeed that’s NOT Nicki.
Rosie, you’re lucky you’re a LDR fan or else I would drag you into the dirt heaux.
Black Widow is already charting on Pop Songs (airplay only chart) and the Bubbling Under Hot 100. It’s also just outside of the top 100 on iTunes and it was JUST announced as the new single. I don’t think it even has an adds date yet. This is fact. I don’t have time to be making up receipts.
@Rosie, After riding off the success of a #1 song it sounds like an early flop to me tbh
Naw loves nicki I’ve done videos on her that has 15000 views but I made great points. .. U know it. But u have it debate without running…ur world will not end if u say anything that states the facts. U smarter than that
Oh, you love Nicki huh? So calling her fame superficial is love? Saying Nicki “walked through doors” that were opened for her is showing love? Girl bye! I am smarter than that. NOBODY WALKS THROUGH DOORS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS. Not even IGGY! You have to appeal to people first. You can’t force people to like you. That’s how I know you’re a Nicki hater. Saying that her yet to be released upcoming album should be called “Kim Print” screams haters at the loudest pitch. Then to say she’s done nothing original is a blatant lie. Stop comparing her relationship with Wayne to Kim’s relationship to Biggie’s. There’s no comparison besides the fact that they’re all rappers. Kim was f**cking Biggie and their raps were completely different from Nicki and Wayne’s.
Boobie so stating that nicki a great rapper male or female. Make me a nicki hater. At least I spoke of those who lead the way. Are u smarter than a fifth grader? All the deals nicki got lauryn hill would never take. Those are too corporate those deals although pay are artist killers. Nicki they becomes a sellout. I don’t want her to go that route ah but she cashed those checks….so hopefully she can get deep a show truth in her words.I want hungry nicki back….
@dd Yes hun that’s exactly what it makes you. The reason Lauryn wouldn’t take those deals is because she and Nicki are two different people. No shade but I bet she’d take those deals now. The struggle is far too real. I love Lauryn but Nicki said it best: “Why these ni**ggas going broke to get your approval? Pretty soon they’ll be back up on them Ramen Noodles.”
No time for these rhythmless, no stage presence, non dancing heifers
Hey Rosie,
The T is that you Stan for Iggy Iggz now?
Girl…Rosie is a train wreck that like’s pretty little white girls and hates on the far more talented black girls. *sips lipton*
Iggy gets a pass for everything Nicki would be dragged through the dirt for. It’s not fair. Iggy is not hip hop and it’s a slap in a face to all the black female hip hop Icons before her, who were way better, who grew up in the culture, for a white pop rap artist to take all the accolades and props. Iggy just comes in with a white singer and breaks a record when she sounds so fabricated with that forced, phony flow. All it takes is a white. Yep. Funny Tupac never got a grammy, Macklemore got one on his first album. Eminem is the highest selling rapper ever. un hun. I see what happens in this country. Blacks are not even accepted in what they invent and create.
PREACH B**TCH!!!! PREACH!!!! White folks taking over our neighborhoods with their gentrification and now they’re attempting to overrun our music. I give Eminem a pass because he is very talented and he LITERALLY started from the bottom. But Iggy? Macklemore? Hell no! I honestly have nothing against Iggy, I just don’t think she has “it” and I hate the way articles are praising her mediocrity. I’m a Nicki Minaj fan but I didn’t like the way Starships turned into a huge hit because it was mediocre at best But Nicki has worked hard and never had nothing handed to her easily. Then we have people screaming that Nicki is real hip hop but they’re the same ones that support people like Iggy Azalea…is Nicki isn’t hip hop then wtf is Iggy?
QUEEN IGGY YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
“Iggy isn’t real rap, Nicki is.” “Iggy gets away with what Nicki gets dragged for” “Iggy is a pop star Nicki is a rapper” Do ya’ll have memory loss? Roman Reloaded had more damn pop songs than it did hip hop songs so what the actual f%*k are you guys talking about? Iggy is more “pop” than Nicki? The girl who’s highest charting singles are “Superbass” and “Starships”? You guys are just making yourself sound uneducated. Nicki has delved into pop more than any female rapper out there. Pound the alarm, va va voom, right by my side, fly, pills n potions? Those are more hip hop than fancy? LMAO please. The New Classic has two pop sounding songs on it and the rest is hip hop. Nicki has released multiple singles that were purely pop so stop saying she’d be dragged if she released fancy because she has released songs more pop than fancy where she didnt even rap. And what makes you all think your experienced enough to call Iggy’s lyrics whack? Are you biggie, tupac, nas? I didn’t think so. You all keep talking about how Nicki is unbothered by Iggy yet yall make all these comments attacking iggy as if shes a threat.
Not bad.
