WTH founder + good pal Jerry Soer sent me a tip off about Iggy a few months back. Took it in good comedy and left it sedentary in my inbox, until the name came to mind again when I saw this clip hitting overtime on youtube yesterday.
Iggy Azalea’s a 21 year old rapper originally from Mullimbimby on the NSW coast. Dropping out of high school, she took her savings and moved to Miami at 16.
The white girl rapper tag seems to be working for her, although whipping out our flag at 0.33 mark and flailing the ‘I’m Aussie’ brand comes across as unnecessary when she’s cussing off in her American accent.
That aside, a little background on her previous hit, ‘Pu$$y’ here. I have some serious concerns with her use of sidekicks as ‘visual decor’. That poor five year old on the horse seems to be enjoying the whole fiasco though.
There’s obviously a big market for her, since people these days will generally froth over anything with an impressive word-per-minute rate and nice hair.
Glad she shipped her ‘talents’ out of the country a while ago, there’s a place for hype-grrrls producing lame, unintelligent material and rapping about their privates over yonder. If it’s block colours and conditioned hair you’re after, there’s Sportsgirl for that. Ugh. Pass the kool aid please.
