The tone of her songs is definitely fierce and unapologetic, but there’s also a note of empowerment in there that some people still miss.
To each their own when it comes to that, but this song was one of her biggest and still seems to be to this day, though she’s gone on to have quite a career and produce other songs that have been just as loved. But the whole Clueless act in the video helped it along quite a bit as well since people somehow hold onto the idea the Clueless was one of the greatest 90s movies ever made. It’s not surprising at all to learn that this song hit the Hot 100 since people were singing it left and right and it was heard everywhere you went. This whole rebellious attitude that she seems to affect at times is something we’ve seen in the past and as a rule rebellion seems to always need to grow stronger and more obvious with each generation. That kind of aggressive and forceful punch to a song is something that’s really appreciated by a lot of people, but might make some think twice or perhaps even look at her in a different manner. Something about the beats that she uses make it obvious that she’s going for an aggressive feel with her songs, as though she wants you to know that she’s coming out strong and isn’t going to be stopped no matter who stands in her way or who says what. In many ways it seems that she’s an acquired taste, someone you listen to because you’ve become used to her. Iggy has a style that’s somewhat forceful and melodic all at the same time and then rough as can be when she gets into the rapping portion of the song. That being said it’s definitely something that moves forward of its own volition and doesn’t stop to pay attention to anyone that can’t keep up. But overall it becomes its own song though there are moments when it seems as though it might lead into a very familiar tune. James Grebey likens this song to a cross between Fancy and Black Widow and he does have kind of a point if you really listen closely. To be honest that’s the kind of remark that really rubs people the wrong way since it was a team effort, and as a result both artists need to show up when it comes time to take the blame, not just the praise. But when it was deemed to be anything but a hit Azalea reportedly threw Brittney under the bus so to speak by claiming that she had no control over what happened in the video and therefore couldn’t be blamed for how it was received.
Pretty GirlsĪccording to Erin Strecker from Billboard this song drew a bit of flack from fans for not being one of the best that Azalea had to offer, though from a visual standpoint, and when coupled with the music it’s actually kind of amusing. It doesn’t seem to take much for people to get up in arms against a musician. She’s been given a lot of support within the industry as well and at this point it would seem that her popularity is still holding steady if it’s not on the rise.
Her fame and reputation haven’t taken such a huge hit however that she’s been deemed as the worst artist around, as many upon many people are willing to listen to her and still claim her as one of their favorites. As ignorant and insane as this sounds it’s still managed to taint her career just enough to make things a bit difficult throughout the last few years. There’s been a lot of things said about Iggy Azalea since she hit the music scene and sadly some of them focus on her accent and her music when she’s singing, as some have claimed that the accent she uses to rap with is another version of blackface.
