Jonna Lee 384 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 * The year is only a week and a half old, but we've already got our first certifiable audio trainwreck: Last night Iggy Azalea made her return to recorded music with a "buzz track" for her "ratz" called "Azillion." Where to begin? The production sounds like a wintry mix of Madonna and Diplo's"Bitch I'm Madonna" and Azealia Banks's "212," the latter, especially egregious since Iggy declared the long-simmering Azalea/Azealia beef moot in light of her chart successes. If you're out of her league, why you biting? If she doesn't matter, why you shading her? Worse than the production is Iggy's diction, which the Washington Post recently lauded for its "sophisticated understanding of how black rappers speak." Our resident AAVE expert's opening bars go: "Headed for a zillion, coming thru a billion Gotta keep it trill-ion, what is a million? What the **** is a million? Gotta stack bread on ride to the ceil-ion" She pronounces all the "-illion" words the same way Roc-a-fella Records alumnus Amil would her nickname "Amillion," which is unfortunate because Iggy sounded like a down-under facsimile of the All Money Is Legal diva well before appropriating her rap name in song. Azalea can't even claim the Texas twist on "trillion" because Bun B and T-Pain made "Trillionaire" five years ago. The beat is a knockoff, the concept is doubly derivative, but the true crime of "Azillion" is a line-to-line inability to make the lyric sheet pop. ... ...At one point in verse two, I think she says she gets money "from December to the mother****in' Igguary," a tragically ill-considered situating of an "n" sound next to an "igg" sound for a Caucasian rapper who should know better, and then says "Raw ****, salmonella, got it ****in' buried," a worse line because you have to be in pretty poor shape to croak from salmonella poisoning, an infection that generally goes away on its own without a doctor's supervision. ... Iggy Azalea capping off huge chart success and heated backlash with this pat party pâtÊ is a waste of a comeback. It's not infuriatingly catchy like her best tracks or calculatedly motivational like the thoughtful ones, and really, it's barely even ironic fun. Iggy's got a lot to prove after a disintegrated headlining tour and diminishing chart returns, and "Azillion" isn't helping. If she ever hopes to see abillion, it can't be like this.  x EVISCERATE IT   i like it when u treat me mean it turns my mood from black to blue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chic 20,830 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 This is one of the worst cases of opinionated reporting I've ever seen. Sounds like an immature stan with poor use of the English language tried to express themselves negatively and it failed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloZell Green 11,723 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well, they're right imo. It sucks and it's a perfect example of how people are calling something like that "music"  The song doesn't even tie a meaning really  The only okay parts are the instrumental, she should just release an album full of them.
