Hey !


I like her , she is wonderful .


I think she is the biggest thing to ever happen to Australian hip-hop


Fancy, Problems, and her other singles like  Work , are as friendly as they come.


But u cant compare her with Nicki , she is better .

She sings well, but the words just not reaching your soul. Eminem is a rapper and he managed both. She is a good singer for youth.

if you as yet haven`t    listened to Iggy`s Azalea rap music then you haven`t lost  much. I did wanted to know what the buzz is with her   and  went on line to hear her ” singing ” or   mumbling, if you prefer.    Definetely , rap music  looks as though it is not  our style of music .If others like rap music it is ok with me ,go for it !!! Personally,  I prefer softer music  ,at least at this stage of my life .

I haven’t listened to any of her songs yet but I will. I don’t think it’s so bizarre an Australian women does rap. Why not, if she’s got the talent? 


So I agree with dear S&W
