Iggy Azalea Says She Drew Inspiration From Outkast For Her “Work” Music Video

    When it came to the inspiration for her new “Work” music video, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea didn’t hesitate in pulling ideas from various sources. During an interview with MTV News, the Aussie import shared that Outkast’s “Bombs Over Baghdad” was one of a handful of visual pieces that inspired her latest music video.

    “I took some ‘Bombs Over Baghdad’ inspiration with the semis. We got some semi-trailers. All kinds of stuff. I just kinda went crazy,” Iggy revealed.

    The “Work” music video also features a scene inspired by Quentin Tarantino’s Deathproof and also various odes to the musical, Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert.

    “I really liked this film as a kid and always identified with it because it’s [about] drag queens and they have to keep stopping in small rural towns and they’re not accepted,” said the rapper. “I always kinda felt that way with rap — trying to break into it, I wasn’t accepted and I was out of my element, so I really love that movie, and it being Australian, I really wanted to draw reference from it. So there’s little nods to that in the desert scene.”

    Iggy Azalea is currently preparing for the release of her debut album, New Classic, which is due out later this year.

    1. she is total trash, why is hip hop getting so diluted. T.I. skeeted in her face and then gives her a contract. total trash

    2. Why doesnt she get an Australian accent to her voice when she raps instead of imitating the current popular southern artists?

      1. ^^ Say what?? Damn that shit didn’t even make sense LOL chill out nigga just because you can’t afford to ride Greyhound doesn’t mean you have to shit on another man

      2. cos shes lived in the usa for years now? maybe her accents changed? mine started changing after only 1 year in another country

    3. She really has rap skills, however, her career is over because she dates black men and white america don’t like that.

      1. GTFO with that excuse. Rihanna dates a man that beat her up yet she and he still sells. If people dig what your doing it doesn’t matter who you date. She has no skills she just mimics people who do.

    4. She is wack as fuck, she can’t rap and her voice/flow is trash…she’s also fucked half your favorite rappers so that pretty much says it all

      1. and how exactly do you know that? stop being a hater. you should feel like a dyke if you a man hating on a woman…

    5. Death Proof? An insteresting rare failure from Tarantino, I preferred Planet Terror, but neither film works by themselves, you need the full Grindhouse experience with the fake trailers inserted. Still haven’t met anyone who didn’t love Django Unchained.
