Azillion seemed to be getting a pretty decent response though, so i'm a bit confused as to why they had it removed, and tbh i don't see the point of removing it anyway. she stated it was just a buzz single multiple times, as least it had people talking about her from a musical perspective, they could've easily just moved on to the next buzz track.

True.
I completely agree with her vision to make the bulk of her songs urban leaning.
however, she needs to have radio friendly songs as well. At least 3 per album.
She won't be accepted by urban not because they don't think she's good enough or because she's too pop.
She's white and a female and a foreigner.
There's just no way they would accept someone that isn't urban, male and from the US as dominating the genre.
Longest running #1 hot 100 rap song as your first single.
Selling 20M+ records in an era.
There's just no way they would accept Iggy outperforming like that
Her niche should be radio friendly top 40 mixed with her mixtape esque urban songs that are geared for buzz singles and the meat of the album.
I hope she doesn't really expect streaming to do the bulk of the work.
She needs hits to prove she's not a one era pony.
Then she can branch out.
It sounds like her label is thinking strategically and she's wanting something different.
I hope her team gets it right because she has a niche market because there is a large audience that will never identify with an urban female rapper or a hardcore rapper (male or female) but will be easier to relate or identify with a Macklemore, eminem, iggy.
She just needs to know her niche
