  • Welcome back to Pop Dissected! Today, we’re going to be looking back at Iggy Azalea’s career; from her emergence into the industry, to her rapid fall. What went wrong in her career, and is there a way for her to reach the heights of her “Fancy” days? Let’s find out!
    I apologize for the brief hiatus everyone! School has been very busy and it’s getting difficult to put in a lot of time for these videos. I will likely be reducing my upload schedule to once a week so these videos can become more manageable and I can keep it all consistent! Thank you for understanding!

      zoom zoom103 Wicked lips EP didn’t even debut on the 200 billboard album chart and the lead single didn’t chart either. Her album & lead album only charted for 1 week so no for an independent artist she’s not doing well

    • @missjusticexo

      Louis X Wicked Lips was an EP with 3 songs. For an independent artist charting for 1 week still means you’re doing well. Iggy is just getting drowned out by Megan and Doja. Iggy just needs a good emotional album like the one her label took from her and she’d be great. She has the visuals she just needs the sound

    Here are a few things that hurt her career:
    - not releasing a video for Beg for it while it was on its way up the charts
    - Demi Lovato not releasing Kingdom Come as the 3rd single
    - Selena Gomez scrapping Girl Crush
    - Iggy scrapping the Switch music video
    - Iggy scrapping Digital Distortion in total
    - not releasing OMG ft Wiz Khalifa as the 2nd single after Kream from Surving the Summer EP

    You forgot to mention her sophomore album had suffered huge delays due to finding out her fiance cheated and a lot of the songs were about him so she had to redo the entire album and it became very hollow sounding . Without that delay she would be more successful. Also, her videos receive a lot of views and her songs could be hits with more promo

    I feel like you’re focusing way too much on chart positions. Because although Kream peaked at 94 on the hot 100, it’s certified gold and has 98 million streams on Spotify. Songs don’t chart the same anymore. Sally Walker was in the top 5 of US iTunes for 4 days straight and only went to 64. That’s just weird. Back then, that would’ve solidified a top 10 hit. I feel people had a very negative impression of Iggy solely based off of what they heard and thought of her. Much of the controversy wasn’t even started by her, it was started by other people, not all, but most. But the way she responded was what upset people. And she admits that. The slave master lyric was literally a tribute to Kendrick Lamar who had a song with that same lyric in it. Those racist tweets were proven to have been faked. People fail to realize she actually CAN rap and she made history being the first female rapper to occupy the #1, #2 and #3 spots on the hot 100 with Fancy, Problem and Black Widow. Team was a moderate success and sold 600k the year it was released, it was the most successful female rap single in 2016. She recently Released Lola which is suuuch a bop. I heard on the radio here in New York the other day and it has 10 million streams on Spotify. And her recent album IMD, sold 17k first week in the U.S while being Independent with virtually no promo. That’s very impressive. Started and F It Up also have very high viewed music videos, and started did chart elsewhere across the world. People also underestimate her global market appeal, cause homegirl is still huge in Latin America/Brazil and she did a show in I believe Thailand and sold it completely out. I think she definitely can get back to major success, but everything has to be very articulate and planned out accordingly. But, she also doesn’t really care about charts anymore. She’s more so making music for people who will listen, and that’s good enough for her. She’s independent, so every stream, every show, every sale goes straight to her. She’s RICH.

    One Thing I need to say is that Iggy Azalea already Told her Story on Digital Distortion, everything ya'll wanted on InMyDefense was supposed to be on Digital Distortion and I know it hurts Iggy to sit in a studio and try to recreate songs such as "Middle Man" "Elephant" and "Seventeen" these songs where telling Iggy Azaleas Story and it would've changed alot of people's perception of her.

    She's a likeable person I think, she' doesn't mean any harm. Around the time Ignorant Art was released I hung out with her in NYC for an evening and she was extremely kind to me and my friend who were fans, and very fun to talk to. I don't agree with the witch hunt that went after her years ago at all. I personally don't even think many people found her as offensive as we think, there are just a lot of loud people on the internet. It's a shame cause she has talent, her videos are unbelievable well done and thought out (not many artists are on the same level in this area as she is, from any genre) and her music is pretty good. She's good at what she does. She's not groundbreaking or legendary but she is fun and has her own unique lane that I think deserves more success and recognition. She works hard. I don't know if she'll ever be able to bounce back, unfortunately, but hopefully she builds up momentum and gets to somewhere she can be satisfied with. If I were her I'd try to stay positive knowing she does have fans out there who recognize what she does and even Missy Elliott respects her, which should mean WAY more than what any grumpy critic says about you and your art.

She keeps giving great songs like Kream, Sally Walker, Lola, among others.

    I love , love , love Iggy and her music because I’ve listened to her 3 latest projects...
    -Surviving the summer
    -In my defense
    -Wicked Lips , they are good projects and so many potential hits but the biggest issue here is that she is “ independent “. Being an independent artist feels good in terms of having more creative freedom , taking most the decisions , etc... but it’s also very limited in terms promotion because a label actually put their money , their millions in risk to promote you , on radio , on adds , on tv performances and so on and it’s turn out really hard for an independent artist to be able to promote themselves dramatically like the labels do , put all that kind of sources ( money) or even dig their place to the music scene and stay.
    2. We all know that Iggy is talented , she writes , she rap quite well, she does amazing collabs and all that kind of stuff but the main reason that we can all agree why she would never really be that “ star” it’s because she’s a white woman in hip hop . White men in hip hop are now trying to find a comfort zone in it but as white woman it’s still really hard , because no media or black studios , black people in general would support her , pay her to perform and having T.I as a mentor was good to help her build a career and large audience and but as a black man promoting a white girl doing hip hop ( that they so call sabotaging the hip hop culture) T.I felt embarrassed and starting following the black culture... long story
    Anyway Iggy is at some point a self sabotage of her career lately , for example she never promote herself on social media , social media which is the most effective way to get viewed on in our days but she doesn’t, she never post few performances she’s offered , she keeps on deleting pictures on her Instagram, she never post anything special about her or music , calling it some stupid reincarnation.
    So with that being said if Iggy really keep want to make music that also sells good she needs to sign another but very carefully record deal , she still has %60 to get signed and get invested money on . If not then she should put herself on some business and make much money . Thanks

    I like Iggy Azalea and think that people should give her a break already. She's been unproblematic for years now and consistently releases good music. No, In My Defense isn't amazing but it does have some great songs on it as do the recent EPs. I also think it's total nonsense that her rhymes are ghostwritten. People say that about literally every female rapper ever, and it's generally not true. She herself has said that some songs (Fancy being the main one) are written collaboratively and that it's reflected in the writing credits. All that being said...I think the chance of a major commercial comeback for her is basically zero so she should focus on doing what she wants as an indie act.

    She never used social media to build a connection to her fan base or anywhere else what I think nowadays is the most important part of marketing, she dropped her 2nd album after years of her hip and it was about cash and ass, the only song I‘m still nowadays listen is work because it is so real and empowering.
    And now after a few months after her album she drops a ep that literally has better songs than her album, like where is the sense.
    And the worst part is that she has a lovable personality that could quickly build a huge trust and interested in her but she only apereres when she comes out with something she is selling.

    Nice review but can u show more about record sales rather than showing billboard numbers. How many streams from Spotify, apple music and other digital sales platform. You need to do more research when doing reviews like this. Not just Wikipedia lol
