You mean to tell me a blonde Australian white girl doesn't sound like a sassy black woman from Arkansas in real life? Give me a moment while I take some time to process this.
Well they were on the struggle so i think they would lol there are some parents in this world that sell their kids so yeah. And dads who prostitute their daughters so yeah, open your eyes dude.
Well I'm American, and moved to Australia. Then I moved back. I gotta say, Australia is only good for vacation. It's expensive as hell to live as an immigrant there. My dad was on a visa the whole 6 years we were there, none of his jobs kept their word to support residency for him. The new 2014 laws for immigrants are stupid as hell.
I'm trippin I'm black and I'm mad because I knew it the whole time I knew she was acting its to me it's sad for white peoples culture actually because they love her fakeness which honestly makes them really wierd they wanna female Elvis so bad it's pathetic!
Kevin McCusker It has been done plenty of times we just don't really know about it but Demi Lovato, Lana Del Rey sing about things they have been through
I'm confused, y'all first nicki was the queen. Then y'all said she was fake and moved on and said IGGY was the queen. NOW yall are sayin she sucks AND nicki sucks. Make up your minds and stop switching cause maybe your the one that's fake, smh.
Why do people think she puts on a fake accent when she raps? Have you heard Adele? Adele is from the UK and she sounds like she is from America when she sings, but when she talks she sounds TOTALLY different. Same can be said for Lorde, except she is from New Zealand. Iggy has an accent and apparently doesn't show up when she raps
iggy is fucking beautiful in every way as a human being, god bless the fact that there are still good people out there making a name for themselves and their dreams come true.
I'm born and bred in Australia. For those of you talking about her accent, it's still there but it's also been influenced by her time in the US. Unfortunately Australian Accents can be "overruled" quite easily as we tend to see with our actors who live overseas for long periods of time. As well as that, the area in which she is from is rural and you can hear elements of that in her accent.
STFU do u live in miami cause I do and 1 frozen steak which I'm sure a 16 year old in miami alone didn't eat costs 8 bucks and she was 16 she was obviously partying and even so stfu you don't know what she spent it on
Um how about you stfu…First of all I wasn't even hating on her..Second of all what if I also live in Miami?…And third that amount of money ANYWHERE would be a big deal to last that long…I never said that I didn't believe it happened I was just saying that it's intense. So quit being an obsessed fan & regain some common sense..thanks.
Missy Mustache I'm Australian and I wouldn't actually pronounce it sounding with an R at the end...AzaleA. I think she is trying to over-pronounce her (fake) accent and it's come out that way. Though, she has been in the states for a long time so her speech seems to be pretty messed up lol
Right! How can you not know people sing/rap in different accents to what they speak, i have a scottish accent but sing with an english accent and rap american. And i didnt choose it like that. It came naturally like everyone. Iggy just happens to rap quite differently to her speaking voice.
She is Australian so no put on accent. She has been here for about 8 years. My best friend is from England she has never really lost her accent and that was 22 years ago.
well i'm sure it'd sound weird or wouldn't sound right if you're australian to rap or sing and maintain that accent and that's okay it's not a bad thing
I don't know why there are so many haters!Iggy Azalea is very talented,thoughtful,humble and she deserves to be famous,she worked very hard to get where she is! Her accent is Australian..but she slightly curls the Rs..but the pronunciation is definitely Australian(You can hear it from the songs and from the interviews)...I don't understand why you do care about the accent though,it's sexy!For example I was born and bred in Italy and I moved to London...and I got an American/Austrlian accent I've been told even though I've never lived in neither of them,so...stop hating her...she's a girl who showed guts following her dream,thing that you should try to do instead of being here to criticize her life,accent etc..get a life and follow your dreams!Stop hating her
I'm Latina and I have an Australian accent (according to my American friends) because I learnt watching youtubers and I picked that up I guess. But I don't know why accents are so important nowadays.
the reason why some singers and most professional singers lose their accent when they sing or rap is because music is a different part of the brain than the speech part. thats also why people who stutter don't stutter when they sing.
oh so the part in her song Work where she sings, "no money not family, 16 in the middle of miami" is true about her, cuz her family was still in Australia and she said she didnt have that much money and she went to miami when she was 16. So it all adds up
What do physical appearances have to do with success? She has a real nice body and she struggled and worked her butt off to have this career. People say she's not a rapper just because she's white and non american. Please!!!! If Nicki Minaj had :Fancy"and had Iggy's flow. Everybody would love Nicki Minaj!!
I don't know what y'all are talking about. Let me break down a few things: Her accent is actually very americanised. It's not like a normal Aussie accent. She's too American. No rapper talks the way they rap. Nicki & Eminem don't talk the way they rap. All rappers rap with an exaggerated accent. Iggy raps in an exaggerated tone as well, which is an exaggerated version of her Americanised Aussie accent. You can hear many aussie tones in her raps & it's clear she writes her own stuff 'cause she literally raps about her life & no one can write emotionally expressing all the things you've been through. She writes under her birthname Amethyst Amelia Kelly. (She uses Iggy Azalea as a stage name because she wanted to start a new life when she moved from Australia). She moved because things felt so hopeless where she lived & she felt depressed & isolated as she lived in a small village where not many people understood her or related to the things she liked. She moved to America 'cause she needed a change in environment & also 'cause she knew there would be people who understood her. Also, when she was younger, the street she grew up on would have lots of kids & they would all hang out together, and these two brothers (called Noah & Karim) played her a song by Tupac, so ever since she was in her early/pre-teens, she was obsessed with Hip Hop & read every magazine and ordered them from the local shop & memorised lyrics and deciphered them & basically spent her life since emersing herself in Hip Hop culture. She grew up in it. Hip Hop is universal now. Y'all need to stop being arrogant about it. People from all over the world are growing up listening to Hip Hop & bring a part of the culture through osmosis. All the alleged racist tweets she posted are not real, they have been photoshopped & a lot are actually over the character limit for Twitter. You can't find them on Topsy & genuine Twitter data has proved they never existed. The slave master verse was very old & Iggy said she did it for shock value when she was younger & the black producers in the company "D.R.U.G.S" told her it would be cool, but she apologised soon afterwards in 2011 & said that you should always follow your gut instinct & never rely on friends for decisions like that. She knows now how serious people took that & deeply apologised for it STRAIGHT AWAY. In Iggy's videos she has never depicted black people as bad guys (like in the trouble music video). Iggy was never in an upper class family. They grew up in a mud brick house that her father built by hand & she grew up cleaning houses with her mother to pay for their living. Her father was an artist. She had to drop out of high school & took over her mom's cleaning business. She saved money for a long time to get a ticket to America on a plane & had jobs since she was very young (cash underhand small jobs at local stores, like CD shops, etc). Iggy's apartment was destroyed when she was in America during Hurricane Ike & she had to set up her whole life again & move city. Her rap skills developed in the South & she has lived in America since she was 16. Also in her family, they are all pear-shaped (have big butts, but small chests) so when she used to model in America for help to pay rent, the companies used to tell her to lose weight (even though she was skinny, her hips were very large) so she started losing weight. Now she has her weight back, but that's the only reason that there are pictures of her with less of a butt. She's really insecure about her weight though, so why on Earth would people assume she has butt shots. So basically it's due to the modelling she had to go through that. Please search on UA-cam "Iggy Azalea HardknockTV" for the four interview videos they did with her. It really explains a lot. Also read her lyrics from Work & Walk The Line & Don't Need Y'all & Runaway. Just please be more understanding before you stereotype. Thanks.
+AviDD Muzik dude you sound racist as fuck. nigga shut the fuck up. she raps like americans because she grw up listening to rappers from America. now shut your dumbass up.
Time to speak up. All of you worldwide haters and self haters, need to take a look in the mirror and just stare at yourself see if you can spend any time alone with YOU. 1. Many singers change their accent when singing. I've seen many Asian, Latin, European singers use an American accent because that sounds hot and fresh. 2. Stop being racist. You are. 3. Music, sports and entertainment has done more to bridge social groups and classes than anything else. I used to feel out of place with white Italians who were clearly bigots. Now! We have young people who like the same type of music and y'know hangout. 4. If I have to sound "white" or professional at my workplace then why can't someone sound black or Latin or whatever they want. Get a productive life. Rock on Iggy.
IWonTheIntarwebz yea bro I live in a real genuine mud brick house!!! And I had no choice either since I was on the dole. Only the real gangsters like me do that yo!
I think she looks great. I really enjoyed 'Work' and couldn't stop replaying it when I first heard it. If you're talking about fake, there are a lot of other singers/rappers that are way faker.
she's fascinating. I'm not a fan and I think she stole black culture. but it is amazing to see how she rose to such musical power. she's controversial as anything. some people think she's an awesome rapper and that she deserves her success. some people think she's complete shit and can't believe she went #1. some people think she's a sweet heart. some people think she's a massive bitch. some people think she's exotic looking and sexy. some people think she's extremely ugly and looks like miranda sings I like how there's such a divide between opinions on someone while most singers are boring and nobody has strong opinions about them.
Goddess Ally Brooke Iggy didn't steal a thing. Rap is everywhere. If you travelled outside your own country you might know that .Check out the HillTop Hoods. I don't think most Americans realize how far flung the rap culture really has gone since the early days and people need to get over it. And for your information the computer you are typing on right now was invented by Charles Babbage the British mathematician so pull your ignorant head out of your ass and stop talking such utter crap.
For all of you saying IGGY does not rap in her accent who TF does? even singers don't sing in their accents because why would they unless their trying to target a particular audience. sam smith adele, and many more do not sing in accents it isn't rocket science how can you criticize someone who is doing what they love and making money ? like Get out of here
Well if we are talking about RAPPING. Everyone has their countries accent when RAPPING unless that person if faking the accent. Rapping and singing are 2 completely different things. Yes you sound different when you sing because you have notes and keeping pitches etc. While rapping is talking to a beat (like poetry). So of course you would keep your accent if you are rapping. This bitch is just as fake as all the other mainstream "pop stars" in America.
Are people seriously resorting to insulting her accent? I pick up accents really easily so the way I talk is a mash up of quite a few regional accents, does that make me a shitty person? I don't think so. Why are people so fucking cruel.
Here's the thing: rappers are entertainers. They preform, and entertain. Its a gimmick, like wrestling, "iggy" simply just copied what she see's other entertainers do (be a "bad bitch", talk with an "american" accent, be the tough girl; etc), And made her own gimmick. Practically every rapper does this (unless you belive every rapper is from the hood, and slings guns daily). Is she "fake"? In hindsight perhaps, but then that would make 90% of rappers today fake.........which isn't exactly a false statement
i think shes still an inspiration for those who never identified with their actual `home` .. taking the risk to leave and following the path no matter how hard it is and how long it takes ... you see, she worked 8 years to get the deal ... most people just say .. ok i want to settle as soon as possible and be able to afford a rather nice car, so ill do an apprenticeship somewhere ... like my friends who could afford a car and all sorts of stuff when they where 18 .. now 3 years later i still cant afford anything but i am working hard for the person that i want to become .. and one day i will be payed off big while my friends do the same thing that they did since they were 17 or so
Why yall hating?! Gosh it's so irritating. Yall want the attention? Are yall mad because nobody cares about what your voice sounds like? Gosh gtfoh and get a life and stop always hating on hers smh
all the people saying she's being fake and etc because she raps in american accent umm well if she raped in a Australian accent it would sound pretty stupid
Malin Sheffield It's kinda true! I want to see what she has to say on his. Like.... 'Iggy, why do you rap in a stereotypical 'black voice'". But she is talented I think, and very well put together
Can we just take a moment to actually listen to her story here. Can you imagine being her at 16 just lying there in your bed terrified of what your about to do? Wow. I can't imagine going somewhere else in the world all by myself at such a young age to chase after my dream. What she said about when she landed and it had just rained and there were fireworks in the sky, that must have been an immense comfort for her, it definitely was meant to be. It sucks so hard that she fell off from letting the fame get to her, she used to be amazing before 2014.
I just came to hear her voice/accent in contrast from that "Fancy" song...
same :D
Yes Haha
lol yep same
Same
Same lol :)
You mean to tell me a blonde Australian white girl doesn't sound like a sassy black woman from Arkansas in real life? Give me a moment while I take some time to process this.
LMAOO IKR
😂
This
In her songs she Alll Rappy then when she talks its smooth, like i cant believe it.
She picked up and left home and chased her dream and won..How many of you snot nose kids can say that ?
STFU
She probably gave it up more than once also, know what i mean? Doubt she got where she is now just because.
how many parents will allow that? you don't let your 16 year old move to another country and continent alone at the age of 16
Well they were on the struggle so i think they would lol there are some parents in this world that sell their kids so yeah. And dads who prostitute their daughters so yeah, open your eyes dude.
Fruuit Loupp
and what will they remember u for
She wanted to escape to America, but most Americans would rather be in Australia. The grass is always greener, I guess.
Trust me, a lot of Australians would rather stay in Australia hahahaha
As an American, I think Australia would be cooler.
Jonty Rosenow by how abbot is running it i doubt americans would even bother
Well I'm American, and moved to Australia. Then I moved back. I gotta say, Australia is only good for vacation. It's expensive as hell to live as an immigrant there. My dad was on a visa the whole 6 years we were there, none of his jobs kept their word to support residency for him. The new 2014 laws for immigrants are stupid as hell.
amen to that!
'i'm iggy azalearrr"
Why don't u like Bae? LOOl
I was poking fun at how Aussies speak. She's okay.
Julian Aguilar lol I'm joking I don't like her.
I clicked on this because I wanted to know what she actually sounded like.....
Lol same
I'm trippin I'm black and I'm mad because I knew it the whole time I knew she was acting its to me it's sad for white peoples culture actually because they love her fakeness which honestly makes them really wierd they wanna female Elvis so bad it's pathetic!
same
"No money no family 16 in the middle of Miami" So her song Work is true ? That's amazing 🌴🌟
Yep, it is!! Her story is so inspiring! ❤️ I just love her.
It's not true :)
Yes. It's sooo amazing that a singer actually sings about something true. That's never been done before lol :(
Kevin McCusker It has been done plenty of times we just don't really know about it but Demi Lovato, Lana Del Rey sing about things they have been through
Omg I was being sarcastic. Jesus.
WHO DAT WHO DAT
I. G . G . Y
Thurnis Haley WHO DAT WHO DAT
Spell my name in BOLD
I been working, I'm up in here with some change to throw
YOU RUINED IT.
Wow she sounds so much different!!!
It's not a real accent
It's a real accent
Okay
beautybybellaxox Of course a 16 year old girl aint gonna know shit. Don't even start man
Right? I checked this up to see if her voice was different.
Daaaaamnn
This is a crazy bitch tho
She was really brave, leaving everything to follow her dreams. The Universe paid her back and that is more than deserved!
I find you on every video! I love you ! ❤️❤️
Hermetic Kitten ASMR not necessarily the universe but God has blessed her ❤️
her personality totally contradicts her rapping style and music. that's what I like about her... she seems like a nice person.
Tyene1218 91701 “she fakes her image and doesn’t pour herself into her art” and I love that about her.
@soras precious it's called cultural appropriation.
@@Y0mAmA84 it's called none own anything
I'm confused, y'all first nicki was the queen. Then y'all said she was fake and moved on and said IGGY was the queen. NOW yall are sayin she sucks AND nicki sucks. Make up your minds and stop switching cause maybe your the one that's fake, smh.
I know how you feel, giving me a headache
New "icon" every 6 months. Nothing new
Both are fucking horrible lmao
That's just your opinion fucktard
emma onyilokwu a very accurate one imo
Why do people think she puts on a fake accent when she raps? Have you heard Adele? Adele is from the UK and she sounds like she is from America when she sings, but when she talks she sounds TOTALLY different. Same can be said for Lorde, except she is from New Zealand. Iggy has an accent and apparently doesn't show up when she raps
Drake sounds totally different when he raps too.
Her accent is fake watch the video called ugly azalea freestyles
my mistake, IGGY not ugly... Lol 😃
85% of the world sings with the American accent ... Y'all Americans just have to crept that
*accept
Haha I love the way she says Miami, sounds like Mayummy xD
iggy is fucking beautiful in every way as a human being, god bless the fact that there are still good people out there making a name for themselves and their dreams come true.
i think she looks thoughtful, strong, humble and really really beautiful
I'm so glad that she actually has a personality!
I can't believe her hometown is only 2 hours away from me, crazy..
This girl is inspirational. As a scottish man, i can rap like im from nawlins.
"Amerikerr" lol the way she pronounces it is funny
I'm born and bred in Australia. For those of you talking about her accent, it's still there but it's also been influenced by her time in the US. Unfortunately Australian Accents can be "overruled" quite easily as we tend to see with our actors who live overseas for long periods of time. As well as that, the area in which she is from is rural and you can hear elements of that in her accent.
A couple thousand dollars lasted 6 months in Miami!?
STFU do u live in miami cause I do and 1 frozen steak which I'm sure a 16 year old in miami alone didn't eat costs 8 bucks and she was 16 she was obviously partying and even so stfu you don't know what she spent it on
Um how about you stfu…First of all I wasn't even hating on her..Second of all what if I also live in Miami?…And third that amount of money ANYWHERE would be a big deal to last that long…I never said that I didn't believe it happened I was just saying that it's intense.
So quit being an obsessed fan & regain some common sense..thanks.
perhaps she invested it or smth... maybe found a way to make that money last
If there is one thing about us Aussies, is that we know how to budget :)
I dont buy the story. Hate all you like.
Comes across as a rather nice and honest person.
Iggy Azalear 3:58
hi
Missy Mustache
I'm Australian and I wouldn't actually pronounce it sounding with an R at the end...AzaleA. I think she is trying to over-pronounce her (fake) accent and it's come out that way. Though, she has been in the states for a long time so her speech seems to be pretty messed up lol
kazedi Nah its just part of the accent, British too, they sometimes do it and other times dont.
I say that at the end of everyones name example:
''Tell Evar i ditch her'' das how i say it
Maybe that's because the word ever, correctly spelt, has an R at the end? If it was Eva (like the name), you wouldn't pronounce an R.
i want to hear her rap with this accent
Right! How can you not know people sing/rap in different accents to what they speak, i have a scottish accent but sing with an english accent and rap american. And i didnt choose it like that. It came naturally like everyone. Iggy just happens to rap quite differently to her speaking voice.
Does anybody else think she looks like demi lovato with blonde hair?
She looks like on of the dudes from white chicks
eee she does look like demi lovato lol
Ruben Marquez
she does.
ya
No...
Just came to hear her voice, stayed for the interview. She is very likeable.
Yeah I don't care for the "put on" accent when she raps either
She is Australian so no put on accent. She has been here for about 8 years. My best friend is from England she has never really lost her accent and that was 22 years ago.
I mean the American accent when she raps, she does not sound Aussie when she raps.
Mai Tai ??? Almost all English/Aussies lose their accent when they sing/rap...
Sike
Linearnights U mad
Her accent is aussie but she does tend to pronounce the 'R's like most americans but assume its because she has been living there for 8 years
Why doesnt she just rap in the Aussie accent???
Why don't you get a better bodyguard?
Who took over your restaurant? Enough reasons for a season 6 to me.
Flashy Pikachu don't you mean 7?
I don't think it's possible.. that's like telling someone with a British accent to sing in that accent, it doesn't really work
well i'm sure it'd sound weird or wouldn't sound right if you're australian to rap or sing and maintain that accent and that's okay it's not a bad thing
she seems like a really nice, down to earth girl. Good for her
Wow, she actually worked for her career, unlike other rich artists. She deserves all the good things that have been coming to her.
I guess u gotta appreciate her dedication. And OMG she is beautiful in this vid.
I don't know why there are so many haters!Iggy Azalea is very talented,thoughtful,humble and she deserves to be famous,she worked very hard to get where she is! Her accent is Australian..but she slightly curls the Rs..but the pronunciation is definitely Australian(You can hear it from the songs and from the interviews)...I don't understand why you do care about the accent though,it's sexy!For example I was born and bred in Italy and I moved to London...and I got an American/Austrlian accent I've been told even though I've never lived in neither of them,so...stop hating her...she's a girl who showed guts following her dream,thing that you should try to do instead of being here to criticize her life,accent etc..get a life and follow your dreams!Stop hating her

she is so beautiful
the reason why some singers and most professional singers lose their accent when they sing or rap is because music is a different part of the brain than the speech part. thats also why people who stutter don't stutter when they sing.
I appreciate Iggy Azalea's music, but I admire her as a person more so.
people say that her accent is fake.well no it's not.I'm also Australian and I know how an Australian accent sounds like
Nikki Guarro I'm only half austrlian but her accent sounds alot like my dads
They're talking about when she raps. She uses a fake wannabe hood accent
The fact that she left everything behind and went for it at the age of 16 is impressive. I wish her all the best
Now I get the lyrics from work
16 in the middle of Miami
Iggy azalea is the best i don't care what anyone says about her
How do you talk like this but rap like you're black and from Atlanta?
Fake accent or what the call the "blaccent"
Her accent is life!! 💕😍😍😍😍
oh so the part in her song Work where she sings, "no money not family, 16 in the middle of miami" is true about her, cuz her family was still in Australia and she said she didnt have that much money and she went to miami when she was 16. So it all adds up
What do physical appearances have to do with success? She has a real nice body and she struggled and worked her butt off to have this career. People say she's not a rapper just because she's white and non american. Please!!!! If Nicki Minaj had :Fancy"and had Iggy's flow. Everybody would love Nicki Minaj!!
Love that she's still got her Aussie accent in her! So many adopt an American accent so quickly... some are just too cringey.
"Trust Your Struggle"; "PURSUE YOUR DREAMS" very inspiring ;)
Notice how she says her "ahs" like "er" like she says AUSTRALIER instead of AUSTRALIA and AZALEAER instead of AZALEA.
Out of all the possible accents she held in my head before I ever heard her speak, this may be the last one I expected.
I ❤️ This Australian rapper😊💫
Iggy, youre talent and an inspiration. (Thumbs up) :)
please iggy do't lose your accent, its the only thing you have left from us :(
Us ? Like if you own her or something leave her in peace ...
Even though I despise this woman's music, I still feel inspired to keep my dreams and follow them.
Hell yeah Mullum reppin! Love growing up in Mullumbimby
lmao Brisbane reppin
I wonder if iggy ever wondered around brisbane city
If this is this generation music......the next generation music oh god who knows what it will come to....
I don't know what y'all are talking about. Let me break down a few things:
Her accent is actually very americanised. It's not like a normal Aussie accent. She's too American.

She moved because things felt so hopeless where she lived & she felt depressed & isolated as she lived in a small village where not many people understood her or related to the things she liked.
She moved to America 'cause she needed a change in environment & also 'cause she knew there would be people who understood her.
Also, when she was younger, the street she grew up on would have lots of kids & they would all hang out together, and these two brothers (called Noah & Karim) played her a song by Tupac, so ever since she was in her early/pre-teens, she was obsessed with Hip Hop & read every magazine and ordered them from the local shop & memorised lyrics and deciphered them & basically spent her life since emersing herself in Hip Hop culture. She grew up in it. Hip Hop is universal now. Y'all need to stop being arrogant about it. People from all over the world are growing up listening to Hip Hop & bring a part of the culture through osmosis.
All the alleged racist tweets she posted are not real, they have been photoshopped & a lot are actually over the character limit for Twitter. You can't find them on Topsy & genuine Twitter data has proved they never existed.
The slave master verse was very old & Iggy said she did it for shock value when she was younger & the black producers in the company "D.R.U.G.S" told her it would be cool, but she apologised soon afterwards in 2011 & said that you should always follow your gut instinct & never rely on friends for decisions like that. She knows now how serious people took that & deeply apologised for it STRAIGHT AWAY.
In Iggy's videos she has never depicted black people as bad guys (like in the trouble music video).
Iggy was never in an upper class family. They grew up in a mud brick house that her father built by hand & she grew up cleaning houses with her mother to pay for their living. Her father was an artist. She had to drop out of high school & took over her mom's cleaning business. She saved money for a long time to get a ticket to America on a plane & had jobs since she was very young (cash underhand small jobs at local stores, like CD shops, etc).
Iggy's apartment was destroyed when she was in America during Hurricane Ike & she had to set up her whole life again & move city.
Her rap skills developed in the South & she has lived in America since she was 16.
Also in her family, they are all pear-shaped (have big butts, but small chests) so when she used to model in America for help to pay rent, the companies used to tell her to lose weight (even though she was skinny, her hips were very large) so she started losing weight. Now she has her weight back, but that's the only reason that there are pictures of her with less of a butt. She's really insecure about her weight though, so why on Earth would people assume she has butt shots. So basically it's due to the modelling she had to go through that.
Please search on UA-cam "Iggy Azalea HardknockTV" for the four interview videos they did with her. It really explains a lot.
Also read her lyrics from Work & Walk The Line & Don't Need Y'all & Runaway.
Just please be more understanding before you stereotype.
Thanks.
+AviDD Muzik dude you sound racist as fuck. nigga shut the fuck up. she raps like americans because she grw up listening to rappers from America. now shut your dumbass up.
._.
BlueBunny lol, yeah this nigga sounds stupid as fuck.
***** im not white bro lol
+AviDD Muzik lol you're a joke
I'M IGGY AZALEAR AND I'M MAKING MY VOICE HEARD
i respect her courage to pursuit her dream. like come on, 16 yr old?
I love that red lipstick omg
I'm not a huge fan of her music, but I think her story is pretty fascinating and inspiring.
Time to speak up. All of you worldwide haters and self haters, need to take a look in the mirror and just stare at yourself see if you can spend any time alone with YOU.
1. Many singers change their accent when singing. I've seen many Asian, Latin, European singers use an American accent because that sounds hot and fresh.
2. Stop being racist. You are.
3. Music, sports and entertainment has done more to bridge social groups and classes than anything else. I used to feel out of place with white Italians who were clearly bigots. Now! We have young people who like the same type of music and y'know hangout.
4. If I have to sound "white" or professional at my workplace then why can't someone sound black or Latin or whatever they want. Get a productive life.
Rock on Iggy.
Wow I just gained respect for her it must be hard to live like she did as a child, I mean, a mud brick handmade house...shit
Most kids where I come from live that way even me. You would be suprise how pleasantly pleased we are with it.
Dasia Hill
Don't get it twisted.... her family was well off and chose to live like that.
IWonTheIntarwebz yea bro I live in a real genuine mud brick house!!! And I had no choice either since I was on the dole. Only the real gangsters like me do that yo!
She's so beautiful,inspiring,and I love her!!!!
even if you don't like her music, you at least have to like her personality.
Lol she says Australier 😂🙌❤️ I love her
Shes amazing, love her
I think she looks great. I really enjoyed 'Work' and couldn't stop replaying it when I first heard it. If you're talking about fake, there are a lot of other singers/rappers that are way faker.
she's fascinating. I'm not a fan and I think she stole black culture. but it is amazing to see how she rose to such musical power. she's controversial as anything. some people think she's an awesome rapper and that she deserves her success. some people think she's complete shit and can't believe she went #1. some people think she's a sweet heart. some people think she's a massive bitch. some people think she's exotic looking and sexy. some people think she's extremely ugly and looks like miranda sings I like how there's such a divide between opinions on someone while most singers are boring and nobody has strong opinions about them.
So if there's "black culture" is there white culture?
Lana Lala no lol white culture isn't real everything whites claim is "culture" is just stolen from those that came before them.
Goddess Ally Brooke Are you white?
Lana Lala no, I'm biracial. why do you ask?
Goddess Ally Brooke Iggy didn't steal a thing. Rap is everywhere. If you travelled outside your own country you might know that .Check out the HillTop Hoods. I don't think most Americans realize how far flung the rap culture really has gone since the early days and people need to get over it. And for your information the computer you are typing on right now was invented by Charles Babbage the British mathematician so pull your ignorant head out of your ass and stop talking such utter crap.
I was NOT expecting her to talk like that!
I never even knew she was Australian and I'm from Australia. I was totally expecting her to be english or american
I absolutely love her! I dont see why she gets so much hate!!
I'm from Mullumbimby aswell
+finn morris (finnster777) hey she must be your auntie xD
lol
one thing aussies are , are proud and love showing that off she's not putting on an accent
For all of you saying IGGY does not rap in her accent who TF does? even singers don't sing in their accents because why would they unless their trying to target a particular audience. sam smith adele, and many more do not sing in accents it isn't rocket science how can you criticize someone who is doing what they love and making money ? like Get out of here
Well if we are talking about RAPPING. Everyone has their countries accent when RAPPING unless that person if faking the accent.
Rapping and singing are 2 completely different things. Yes you sound different when you sing because you have notes and keeping pitches etc. While rapping is talking to a beat (like poetry). So of course you would keep your accent if you are rapping.
This bitch is just as fake as all the other mainstream "pop stars" in America.
Are people seriously resorting to insulting her accent? I pick up accents really easily so the way I talk is a mash up of quite a few regional accents, does that make me a shitty person? I don't think so.
Why are people so fucking cruel.
Cuz they need something to look at instead of themselves
I swear when she raps she sounds like a black girl and when she interviews it switch back lol. It's cute though
She's a very brave young woman and i find her inspiring. People need to stop hating, black people need to stop hating!
Here's the thing: rappers are entertainers. They preform, and entertain. Its a gimmick, like wrestling, "iggy" simply just copied what she see's other entertainers do (be a "bad bitch", talk with an "american" accent, be the tough girl; etc), And made her own gimmick. Practically every rapper does this (unless you belive every rapper is from the hood, and slings guns daily). Is she "fake"? In hindsight perhaps, but then that would make 90% of rappers today fake.........which isn't exactly a false statement
Naw some rappers do not like Cole or Kendrick real rappers Dont
RjEatsDogs Those are the ONLY rappers that do and rap about something real. Old fashioned rappers or as I say "classic" rappers include:
that's the dark nature of capitalism
i think shes still an inspiration for those who never identified with their actual `home` .. taking the risk to leave and following the path no matter how hard it is and how long it takes ... you see, she worked 8 years to get the deal ... most people just say .. ok i want to settle as soon as possible and be able to afford a rather nice car, so ill do an apprenticeship somewhere ... like my friends who could afford a car and all sorts of stuff when they where 18 .. now 3 years later i still cant afford anything but i am working hard for the person that i want to become .. and one day i will be payed off big while my friends do the same thing that they did since they were 17 or so
Eminem isn't fake though......
Love her personality
She looks like a mixture of Demi Lovato and Tulisa.
Funniest mix of Aussie and American haha lol
OMG I LOVE HER SONG WORK! It talks about how she made it to fame and it's my favorite from her, I love how she put so much meaning into the song!
She has a mix of an Irish and Australian accent!
Why yall hating?! Gosh it's so irritating. Yall want the attention? Are yall mad because nobody cares about what your voice sounds like? Gosh gtfoh and get a life and stop always hating on hers smh
Iggy Azalea is quite frankly the most beautiful female rap artist we have to remember
especially her hit song,"Fancy."
ur amazing, you inspire me to follow my dreams no matter how are hard or crazy it maybe love u iggy
Her voice is not that bad. Her voice is not even bad! I like her voice! What are y'all even complaining about!?
I came here to hear her real voice too. I think she'd have less haters if she was her authentic self more often
I’m here because someone said my voice was like iggys
Working on my shit
Love you soo much iggy! Im ur no. 1 here in the Philippines.
all the people saying she's being fake and etc because she raps in american accent umm well if she raped in a Australian accent it would sound pretty stupid
Rapped*
lol
It's not that it's American, it's that it's what most people associate with African American ghetto culture that's wrong about it.
Malin Sheffield It's kinda true! I want to see what she has to say on his. Like.... 'Iggy, why do you rap in a stereotypical 'black voice'". But she is talented I think, and very well put together
It she rapped in an Australian accent it would sound stupid to who??..Is the American accent the only standard acceptable???
Her hair is soooo gorgeous ♡♡
I got chills when she was talking about traveling from australia to miami
LOL at the end she says "I'm iggy azalear and I'm making my voice heard." ALALEAR really ???
Obviously you have never listened to Australians talk.
Dalaynie Cruz Obviously you havent seen Wilfred
Obviously you don't know what a accent is you fucking people these days
This is really inspiring! ❤ inspiring me since 2013… i fall in love so badly!
People in America think Australia is this Amazing country full of opportunity LOLLLLLLLLLL, completely wrong
Australia rarely comes up in any topic of basic conversation in the U.S.......
You overestimate Americans. They still can't find America in a map.
I love iggy!!!!!!
Can we just take a moment to actually listen to her story here. Can you imagine being her at 16 just lying there in your bed terrified of what your about to do? Wow. I can't imagine going somewhere else in the world all by myself at such a young age to chase after my dream. What she said about when she landed and it had just rained and there were fireworks in the sky, that must have been an immense comfort for her, it definitely was meant to be. It sucks so hard that she fell off from letting the fame get to her, she used to be amazing before 2014.
