She was living in Florida when she first arrived in the US. She then left, and has been in the ATL area since. I'm sure you'd pick up some sort of accent living there for years...
YESSS! I Love that track!
Really?

Easily, way before then. I'm not even sure it's gay black slang, you hear 'shade' being used in funk/R&B music going back to the 70s at least, so it's probably even way older than that.
At least Iggy's ass properly jiggles. At least Iggy's body isn't made of plastic. At least Iggy didn't just now decide that dressing up like a weird circus freak Skittles wrapper and making the same Loony Toons faces all the time isn't hot.
Try again, Minaj. You've failed just like your titty implants and fake ass.

I think a more tactful way to say it would be 'she has, in my opinion, some pronounced masculine features that I personally find unattractive.' That's my feeling about her, too.
I should hit this. Damn.
now i'm in love.
they made her look so awful in the Problem MV

I wouldn't be surprised if Iggy Azalea did have ghostwriters at this point, but I also think that Iggy had to have some BASE level talent to get where she is FROM where she was. They don't just pluck white girls with phattys out of Australia of all places and turn them into rappers. If that's all is was to it, there are plenty of white chicks with big titties and round cakes right here trying to make it in this here rap game:
Honestly, the "____________ uses ghostwriters!" is a scarlet letter that pretty much every rapper gets branded with when they make it to this level and start clocking Billboard receipts. This is ESPECIALLY true of female rappers--I can't think of a single one who didn't have crazy ghostwriter rumors surrounding them. Hell, not even MC Lyte got off. People were claiming fucking LL Cool J was her ghostwriter.
She never mentioned what type of "work" she was doing in Miami...but that's none of my business tho...
Most post 80s mainstream female rappers have had ghostwriters..that's just reality fellas. Foxy Brown, Lil Kim, Nicki, Eve, Remy Ma, Iggy. Lauryn Hill wrote most of her lyrics but a band wrote a lot of the music on her first (and only) album.
Shout out to Jean Grae and Rapsody for being writers.
Nicki says something vague about Iggy Azealia (not even using her name) having ghost writers and you stoop to making personal insults about Nicki's appearance. Not only that but I'm pretty sure iggys ass isn't real either but who gives a shit if either one of them has had cosmetic surgery. Please.

I bought Iggy's album a few weeks back. It's fun. Not stellar, but I spent about $10 on it and I think I've gotten/am getting my money's worth. I look forward to seeing what she has to say on her sophomore album, since a few of her songs on the debut album were entirely or partially about her upbringing, move to Miami, and "making it" in the rap world. If she has more to say and some interesting stories or ideas then her next album will be good. If not, then I think it'll be kind of weak. We'll see.
Never purchased anything from Nicki, but I've enjoyed a couple of her radio singles. Some of them though... Starships and Stupid Hoe in particular, well, they're just horrid. So, as far as things stand now, I think Iggy has the edge as far as my personal enjoyment of their music.
On the topic of visual appeal, yeah, they're both hot (fake tits/ass, weird costumes, crazy make-up, whatever doesn't matter), and I'm happy to leave it at that.

What? Both the 1992 EP and the Fantasea mixtape are bangers through and through. I wouldn't be surprised if she has a lot of unreleased material too, but she's too busy sabotaging her own career to get them released.

It's like a bucket of piss insulting a bucket of shit.
Sigh. I wish this wasn't the case. Azealia Banks too talented to be doing that to herself. Someone needs to change twitter passwords or something.

Ofcourse Nicki Minaj is upset, this is her replacement. Nicki brought nothing to the table but doing a formula that can easily be copied and now she's upset. Too late for that. This teeny bopper music doesn't concern me only the business aspects.
I have long since tuned out. Anybody that becomes a pop hit better parlay those opportunties into something that has longevity or risk falling off.

The best thing that could ever happen to her is to lock her in a studio with zero social network access until her album is done. Then put her in therapy lol.

Iggy in comparison to Nicki doesn't look nearly as good. Iggy in isolation is a cute looking girl. I'd date her
/shrug.

That's what she looks like without the clown makeup.
Let em have their cavewoman...they'll wake up one day.
Probably to a woman that looks just like her or worse
I know this is some sorta big deal with rap artists but I wonder why you never hear people in others genres say shit like this. "Hey Beyonce, Rihanna, Justin Beiber, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, N'Sync, Boyz II Men, Sinead O'Connor, TLC, Destiny's Child, SWV, En Vogue, Papa Roach, Soul Asylum, Martina McBride, Toby Keith, you know you didn't write that shit!"
LMAO this face killed me.

Well, Rap is something that originated from freestyling, all off of the head unrehearsed. Nothing written. The further it is removed from that element or the less creative the artist is (Unable to freestyle), it discredits the artist in many people's minds.
With singers, writers also get credit for the harmony or the melody in addition to the lyrics. There's much more to writing for a singer than a rapper.
Those differences are pretty obvious. Rappers can be good performers and have a sense of melody and timbre though. Any fan of rap would tell you that. It's one of the big reasons Nicki is popular. She's got a very unique style, switches up her flow, and is geniunely pretty funny. I just don't think writing your own raps these days is all that important. None of these rappers can actually freestyle. To me it's like criticizing Kanye for bringing tons of producers in house instead of doing everything on his own. Do you think any pop fans even know or care who Gesaffelstein is? Nicki makes pop music for walmart shoppers she should probably stay in her lane.

don't people always bring up that Beyonce doesn't write anything outside of gibberish, and then gets songwriting credits? People also note how fake and industrial Rihanna is, musically. Def Jam puts her in a studio with pre-written songs and churns out hits like Motown. Pop GAF stans her tho and that's none of my business.

Thus proving that Nicki is way more attractive.
