2. Iggy Azalea
Iggy Azalea is originally from Australia, but you’d never know it from the way she raps. She sounds like a Black girl who grew up in the inner city whenever she spits her lyrics. While some feel that this matches the style of music Iggy Azalea is known for, others, particularly some female musicians, feel that Iggy should just be herself. She’s been called out by rappers like Nicki Minaj and Eve for her “Blackcent” (Black accent). It’s been suggested that she should rap using her natural accent, in order to bring something fresh and new to the industry. Then again, rapper T.I. is her mentor, so maybe she’s trying to emulate him by using a formula that has been proven to work in hip hop. There’s also her recent facial surgery, which isn’t helping people to feel as though she’s proud of her heritage.
