In a radio interview with "Zach Sang & The Gang," the 24-year-old rapper told the host she knows why she faces so much disapproval. They're just mad that she's good:

They know, deep down. I think they know. They just don't want to admit it. That's what I think. I have a feeling. That's why they're mad. Because they do know that I actually am good, and they can't really accept that.

 

[JDSN]

The struggle is real.


Also, who does she mean by "they"?

 

[Floridian]

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

She kind of does have a point. Most people who criticize her haven't even listened to The New Classic. It's a pretty good album.

 

[Christopher]

People give this girl a lot of shit I don't know her besides the fancy song but always hear a new story of people going in on her

 

[Einhander]

Enough? She hasn't earned a shred of it. She's an ignorant person and a corny ass rapper.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

...

...Right.

 

[WedgeX]

The struggle is real.

That would appear to require listening to an interview, because no one seems to have transcribed further.

Say what you want about Iggy, but I'd rather listen to her (pop) music over 2 Chainz.

Spoiler

I didn't mean to disrespect 2 Chainz. I don't even know what he's capable of. Like physically.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

I keep hearing about this Iggy Azalea, but I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs. Would I know one if I had?

 

[LCGeek]

Is this what arrogant people tell themselves man that is too rich. I don't care about her because like taylor swift I haven't heard anything worth another repeat. I was drunk when I heard her stuff she should be considerate I even gave it chance.

The quality of her music isn't the main reason she gets criticized. If you want to know about Iggy Azalea and the controversy surrounding her and her music, here's an informative article that looks at thing from all angles:

You should listen to the very short interview in the article. She is actually pretty down to earth and her comment is kind of tongue in cheek. I'm not really into her music but good for her, she is a successful young woman making it in a tough industry and laughing all the way to the bank.

Don't worry. Her financial well will run dry when her one minute fame is over. She's the flavor of the year in pop music.

 

[Ran rp]

Fuck off.

 

[Tom Penny]

The only talented female rapper was Lauren Hill which makes Iggy top 5 by default.

 

[Merc_]

"They", huh?

 

[Courage]

i mean she did drop a new classic.

Which annoying australia is this one? They both suck at talking and being in society.

Lil Kim, Nicki, Azealia & Missy elliot, are all better than Iggy though.

You got an avatar? I thought you were cool, man.

 

[pokeystaples]

Jean Grae also goes in. Hell, I'd say the women from Northern State are better than Iggy.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

 

[Rizific]

my thing with her is that when she opens her mouth to "make music" she sounds like a fucking little 15 year old wannabe thug. but when i see her in interviews, she talks like a normal person, and imo she has a really likable personality. but her music...throw that shit in the trash.

I keep hearing about this Iggy Azalea, but I don't think I've ever heard one of her songs. Would I know one if I had?

i think I just did, something with Charli XCX. I had to listen to Uptown Funk for te 100th time after it to wipe the bad taste off my mouth

Not to mention, MC Lyte or Eve or Da Brat. So many good female rappers.

 

[steveovig]

Why should they give her a ton of respect? Her lyrics are barely passable and she completely fakes a US southern ghetto accent in her raps. She raps about street stuff but from what I can tell, she isn't from the streets. She is Vanilla Ice in 2014-2015.

 

[faridmon]

She's the female vanilla Ice

wat

Vanilla Ice actually put out some amazing work during the 90s...
