Tbh ask anyone what bounce or work is here in the UK and I'm sure no one will know what they are. Most people don't even know iggy is on Fancy tbh. Also y'all saying about sales making a song a hit yet some how Applause was a flop, DWUW was a flop MTN was a flop You n I was a flop. CAN we not
She is also a white rapper, who is probably bothered by the fact that she has been making rap music as a white rapper for years and has yet to blow up, while Iggy, this girl from Australia comes out of nowhere and ends up getting a bunch of hits with pop hooks. That's probably why she's bothered.
There's a difference between a song which barely had any support, and managed to do well than an actual HIT.
Gold Digger is a hit, Blurred Lines, Someone Like You, N*ggas In Paris, Dark Horse.
Work is a rap song, that did surprisingly well considering it didn't have much support but it's not a HIT.
*gets signed to a major label* *work becomes a hit in the UK* "iggy will never get another hit anywhere else! 212 will be bigger than anything she releases even bigger than Work!"
*gets a string of top 20s in the UK (work, bounce, change your life)* "iggy is only big in europe!!!"
*fancy smashes in australia & the usa* "she's a 1 hit wonder!!! she won't get another hit!!!"
*fancy, problem, work, no medicore & black widow all chart on the hot 100* "only fancy and problem are top 10s!!!"
*black widow goes top 10* "she needs features to do well!!"
*has a solo song that is gold and nearing 100m views on vevo*
"its not platinum so it isnt a hit! it doesnt matter that it was released before she had a us label!! or that it will be certified platinum from streaming(?) soon!"
people keep doing too much on her. no one complained that macklemore had someone singing the hook on all of his #1s last year or that eminem's last 3 singles all had someone singing the hooks
It went top 20 in the UK though, it was also a SOLO HIT there even by your inaccurate standards.

Wow. When you put it like that, it really is undeniable. Iggy's haters are a sad, sad bunch.

Um...they definitely have though? The Macklemore backlash was HUGE, especially among other rappers/within the rap community. And people have been coming at Eminem's neck for being too commercial for his past like...4 releases.

oh. i thought most of the macklemore backlash was because he was white & straight singing about gay rights and his 'white saviour' (not my words, i saw someone use that phrase) complex. one of eminem's biggest hits (Stan) had someone singing the hook anyway so idk why they would suddenly be mad now.
iggy has never claimed to be 'real hip hop' or the 'queen of hip hop' as far as i am aware, so idk why they would be mad over her music being more commercial. im sure most of the backlash she is getting is because she is a white female rapper who has managed to match the mainstream success of other female rappers
