Back 10-20 years ago being a ganstra and having a criminal record was considered cool in rap.No. Ms Banks is the sort of person who'd likely sh*t on Gaga after the collab and say she just had to make a crappy pop song with a white popstar because the label made her.

craig 680 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It simply just boils down to the fact that Iggy is more basic and easily digested by the public. Like Katy in a way, she gives the masses the genericness they want and it works for her It simply just boils down to the fact that Iggy is more basic and easily digested by the public.

Fact is, Kanye's biggest hit is his feat. on ET, and I doubt Jay Z's has anything bigger than his feat. on Umbrella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHE 559 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You are over complicating things. She's just an outright entitled rude bittch and she ostracized herself from a lot of people by running her mouth like she had Riri's credentials. Plus, her music isn't that good. It just isn't. She needs to earn queen status and no one is just going to hand it to her because she likes to wag her tongue at people for publicity. Dragging her peers for filth on Twitter for the hell of it did her no favors, talent or no. I can't stand her rotten ass. The music business is a business and like any job, you don't go to work and trash talk people in positions of power above you. Just because most of the queens on here think she's fierce, doesn't mean it's going to do her career any favors. NEVER BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU. Her primary problem above anything else is, she is completely inept at throwing shade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um 1st Azealia said she loved the song they had together. And when Gaga announced she had a song with "the king of RnB" it was more of a status thing, same with Too Short and Twista That's Kanyes biggest hit? Oh dear, no.

Her primary problem above anything else is, she is completely inept at throwing shade. Her attitude and her going against mainstream are two different issues and a lot of dissenters like you failed to see that And mind you the ONLY reason why Interscope stopped their support was because they wanted to change her to be more mainstream and she refused.

Evan Peters 10,470 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 You know, I came into the this thread thinking you'd actually make your point in a more mature matter. Just because someone's mainstream doesn't mean they aren't intelligent. That is probably the most ignorant thing in your reasoning. "American radio doesn't like extravagant and intelligent people" Then I guess Gaga must have been pretty stupid during The Fame, The Fame Monster, and Born This Way? You literally have no evidence to even support the fact that Iggy is some mindless, dumbass just because she produces radio friendly music. This reminds me of those people who say Kesha is an idiot because she's make party music yet she has an incredible IQ. Music quality =/= stupid artist. That being said, I like Iggy and Azealia. Both of them are completely different artists. Stop putting them up against each other. It's all a matter of a song being liked by a majority. The more people like your song, the more people will want to hear it. I agree that Azealia is extremely talented and her mixtape is fresh no matter how many times you listen to it. Heavy Metal and Reflective is great too. I've heard people in my school talking about the song. However, it all comes down to radio plays. Not to mention, a lot of people have been put off by her bad attitude. She's apologized and approved her attitude but most people think of her as a trouble maker. emma roberts is an abuser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexxx 2,244 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Rap/R&B music went to The top 10 in the 90s and early 2000s. Iggy's music is more pop influenced which makes it easier for her to top the Hot 100 and it's also where the crappies rap music is like 'Wiggle Wiggle' in the top 50. Fancy is a pop song and shouldn't even be anywhere on top of the Hip-Hop And R&B charts. Azealia has plenty of Radio friendly songs like Luxury, Esta Noche and arguably the whole 1991 ep. One radio deal could get her out there Lady Gaga/ Madonna/Lana /Azealia Banks/ Jazmine Sullivan/ DEEE-LITE/ Moko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcina Dimitrescu 1,156 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 At least Iggy is smart enough to know that you can't act like a **** when you don't even have your first record out. And we got a winner. Tho what the op isnt necessarily wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Reason why Iggy succeeded, instead of Azealia? The support of a major label and good management, especially in today's music climate. Iggy kept her record deal and is reaping the benefits of being signed with a major label.

aquaprincess 23 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 actually the reason iggy is more successful than azealia is because she knows when to keep her mouth shut and not get into stupid twitter beefs with everyone. yes azealia is more talented obviously. she had a really great chance of making it with all the buzz surrounding her but she blew it with her mouth. now shes struggling. iggy has catchy songs and isn't making waves with anyone at the moment. hate on her all you want, but she's doing what shes supposed to do, and its serving her well.
