I can agree with that, but the problem is 212 isn't a hip hop song. It's a house song with rapping on. Same goes for a number of Azealia's other songs to.
You can get house-influenced hip hop songs like Show Me, Paranoid, Truffle Butter, those are still hip hop beats. 212 doesn't have a hip hop beat, it's a different genre.
She can do what she wants, but people shouldn't be calling Azealia hip hop when her most well-known songs are house songs. Flo Rida's rapped on hip hop beats a few times too, but I wouldn't call him hip hop either, most of his most famous songs are dance tunes.
