A man at the airport thanked Australian rapper Iggy Azalea “for ruining Hip Hop.”
In a video that has quickly gone viral, Iggy Azalea was caught off guard by a person who seemed at first to be an inquisitive fan.
“Are you Iggy Azalea,” the man asks before the Aussie musician questions why she’s being filmed.
“I would just like to thank you so much for ruining Hip Hop,” he adds before the camera pans away and he erupts into a series of giggles.
Although Iggy has been called out by many in the Hip Hop community, this appears to be one of the first times she’s been approached in person with criticism.
In 2014, Q-Tip attempted to school Iggy on Hip Hop, but his tweets were deemed “patronizing.” That same year, New Jersey rapper Rah Digga explained why she doesn’t consider Iggy, Hip Hop.
Video of Iggy Azalea’s encounter with the man who thanked her “for ruining Hip Hop,” can be found below.
For additional Iggy Azalea coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Obviously the interviewer is clueless. Iggy is only a small part of those who ruined hip-hop. The list is probably at 100 people or so
Didn’t know this is how these new age kids are brought by their parents. Sad earth.
Shows you how low the self esteem in the hip hop community truly is when so many people actually believe it takes nothing but a brain dead Australian chick to “Ruin” their entire culture lol. People need to lighten up and stop being so Melodramatic.
She definitely a part of the problem, but there are so many so called rappers and factors to blame for the death of hip-hop music/culture.
only pussies say hiphop is dead were are your bars..bet she can rap circles around you….. the music and culture is for everybody
I don’t rap dumbass, but I’m qualified enough to know WACK BULLSHIT when I see it/hear it. Ain’t nobody reppin’ true hip-hop culture anymore. Where’s the graffiti? Where’s the MCing? Where the b-boys and b-girls? Where the DJ’s at scratching and shit??… Remember dudes like DJ Clue, Kid Capri, Frankie Cutlass?? Dudes ain’t even writing their own rhymes nowadays and that’s WACK! At some point so called rappers and so called fans started to forget what this culture is all about.
That is actually real talk. I don’t mean to be a dick about this, but it seems like a dude from 18th street knows more about real Hip-Hop shit than backpackers do. Lol. That’s awesome. Usually dudes from neighborhoods in LA are only Into gangster shit. Qvo ese! Ustd hablas la verdad.
There has always been wack rappers, no doubt but not nearly as many as there are in the game today… But that ain’t even the point. I don’t see any so called rappers today repping true hip-hop culture.
Making me laugh hard. These kids dont even know what hiphop is or how it is made. Beastie Boys with Run DMC, Run DMC with LL Cool J, Biz Markie with Big Daddy Kane, Chuck D with Paris, Ice Cube with Del, Eazy-E with Ice Cube, Phife Dawg with Q-Tip, Ghostface with Method Man, ODB with RZA, Nas with Large P and Stic.man have all had bars written fot them. Nothing has changed in hiphop re: writing credits. In fact, it may have gotten better in this respect. People act like there werent any wack MCs pre-2010. Are you crazy? There were waaay more. MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Ja Rule just to name a few. The rest arent remembered but they were around. And not a fan but Iggy Azalea but she is way better than Vanilla Ice tbr. Same with Drake who is actually an underrated lyricist who gets roped in these conversation becuase most of you punks on here dont actually understand hiphop wordplay.
“Rpa
Out of all of today’s awful “rappers” she ruined hip-hop?
Right, let’s talk about “panda” for a minute…. I actually think Iggy brought something different.
Agreed
Agreed
You mean T.I. brought something different? She didn’t write any of that shit. Panda sucks too, don’t get me wrong.
Puff Daddy ruined hip hop. Ja Rule ruined hip hop. Nelly ruined hip hop. Chingy ruined hip hop. Lil Jon ruined hip hop. Birdman ruined hip hop. Lil Wayne ruined hip hop. Soulja Boy ruined hip hop. T-Pain ruined hip hop. Rick Ross ruined hip hop. DJ Khaled ruined hip hop. Flo Rida ruined hip hop. Drake ruined hip hop. Nicki Minaj ruined hip hop. French Montana ruined hip hop. Future ruined hip hop. Young Thug ruined hip hop. Fetty Wap ruined hip hop. Lil Yachty ruined hip hop. Lil Uzi Vert ruined hip hop. Desiigner ruined hip hop.
I’m not gonna lie. If I met Iggy I am going to try my best to kick it with her and attempt to hit it because she is fine and seems like a cool ass chick. This fk boy on the other hand wants to insult a fine ass woman with a good career who brings joy to people’s lives while he is living in his momma’s basement mad at the fact that hip hop is diversified. Who the fk you think made all those programs and recording devices for the studios you dumbass. That was his biggest moment in his sad hateful pathetic life. what a loser
Hip Hop is not for Fheggets
Old white record label executives and corporations ruined hip hop and are killing the culture.
People will try and deflect with the whole “she’s not the only one” crap but they at least did it in their own voice and dialect. She ruined it from a moral perspective, not technical. She was proof that anyone talentless bobblehead can take on a black “ratchet” persona and sale records to supportive white kids who want the whole black experience minus the black people. More people need to approach her more often. This is the price you pay for coming to our Country clueless and causing racial conflict! Good day mate.
Like Drake for instance?

Drake didn’t use his own voice and dialect… He talks dorky white and doesn’t say ni66a unless he is recording. He also doesn’t write his own raps or make beats. They both talk street violence shit. Like “I’m still in the murder business”, “run op on me when you see me then. ” please. She is lucky it wasn’t some wild hood rat.
Givin this no talent young lady faaarrr toooo much credit. She dont have the ability to ruin HIPHOP
Drake sure is giving Hip Hop More Exposure, dem ‘gibberish’ wack niggas keep ruining it.
You mean Hip-Pop created by others exposure, right? LOL. Is this OVOmafia and Eyes third persona? LOL.

We need to start a Hip-Hop black panthers movement and start slapping te shit out of these fake pop tart Justin Bieber/Britney Spears MFs throwing salt in the game.
Lmao you really tryna bring this trash? run up when you see me and we gon see
LOL. Is this the rainbow power gay dude again? LOL. Are your choreographers going to high kick me? Come at me with hockey gear on? LOL. Queer. You and Eyes are obviously the same lame that works at HHDX waving a Canadian flag. LOL. GTFOH
Iggy Said – Yeah But It’s Weird That You Will (Would) Film Me.
Rule # 1. You Must Ask These Type Of Public Figures If It’s Okay
If They Comply Fine If Not Lawsuit
If this idiot really gives a f*ck about Hiphop, he should of sat her down, explained why he feels she is killing Hiphop, explain why her music isn’t Hiphop, play her real Hiphop, explain why she can’t produce that, let her retort, converse.
All this does is prove the person saying it isn’t Hiphop, no lesson just straight abuse. Or rather, his actions were not Hiphop.
They just won’t let this hoe be lmao
Fuck this dude for this dumb ass stunt. Iggy didn’t ruin anything. While every rapper wants to sing nshit…at she raps. Oh she has ghostwriters…so does Drake and bunch of others. People need to let that Iggy shit go. She didn’t help it but she didn’t ruin it
Reply to DrakeFakeAF “talk down on me am flattered, yall cant do no damage, all yall niggas dont matter, im jst blessed full ov talent, fuck yall boys yall finished…ya dead!…I aint dead yet lyk am Bruce Willis,put a nigga name in the Guinness” hahaha…
Ayo its good you here bro,nxt Drake article comin…”DMX praises Drake, says he was hatin on him for the wrong reasons” wats ur take on dat?
Right. Someone who works for this Canadian owned hip-hop site is all on that maple syrup gravy train. He doesn’t write his rhymes. Fact. He doesn’t produce the tracks. Fact. He has 0 street cred yet talks street shit. Fact. He has his sexurity handle his beef like a pussy. Fact. What’s your take on that? By the way, fukk DMX. That idiot’s producer has more fame and money from rapping than he does. Things Drake and DMX have in common: not on the top 5 most paid Hip-Hop artists of all time. Not on the top 10 MCs of all time list anywhere. Nither have a top 5 selling Hip-Hop ALBUM of all time. Neither have a top 5 hip-hop SINGLE of al time. Put him in the Guiness for what? Fake at ever? LOL. Nikki Minaj has made more money and sold more units. She has the same queers writing her music and making her beats. Interesting, right? At least DMX writes his own rhymes and gets K.O.ed handling his own beef. Dog.
Another take. Eyes. Talk down on me flattered etc… Wasn’t written by him. LOL. So talk down on Quentin? LOL. He didn’t write that shit, dummy. My take is, you are obviously very slow, and like Pop music over Hip-Hop.

Do some homework on X.His albums diamond.
Haha…you neva fail to disappoint bwaai, henceforth I might be comin to DX so u could make me laugh 😀 Adios! Til d nxt Drake article or NOT Lol
No one said his album isn’t diamond, idiot. I said top 5 of all time, his it at number 8. I guess learn how to read and count.

“In fact, according to Billboard, Drake’s latest is just the fourth hip-hop album in history to manage at least as many weeks at the top. The other three titles are Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP, Vanilla Ice’s To the Extreme, and M.C. Hammer’s Please Hammer Don’t Hurt ‘Em.” He just passed up Em, now he is on a list with the people he will be remembered with. LOLOLOL. Coincidence? LOLOLOLOLOL. They where all millionaires too. LOLOLOLOLOL
And X is bankrupt BTW.
I’m such a fucking pussy
I don’t give a it this chic is bad as fuck and the fact that she’s now single….I’d definitely beat that pussy. Sexism chic in hip hop at least. Gay niggas must be mad
She actually has some decent songs and some ” freestyles ” which words I understand… When hate train passed, my eyes cleared!
Drake and Iggy Azelia are the exact same lame ass culture vulture pop tarts. They don’t write their own shit. LOL.
Ugggg…Culture vulture, I’ve yet to meet an honorable human being who’s used this term. Culture vulture my dick, black people gave up hiphop to corporate white america in the 90’s becuz they thought they were being discriminated against and wanted to be like all the pop artists…now they’re mad. Let’s be honest, myself included, had this BS impression that hiphop was discriminated against becuz it was black culture. Then we fought to be the same and hiphop became weak ass cookie cutter bullshit. You ever hear the saying, “be careful what you wish for?” Yea hiphop is the epitome of that saying, and it has nothing to do with Iggy’s lame ass
OK. So a rant about absolutely nothing written above. Interesting. Anyways, it goes back to Milli Vanilli, Vanilla Ice, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. If you don’t write your rhymes l, produce or speak about YOUR life, you are just an android shitting out other people’s stories. Dre has made some of the most memorable beats in Hip-Hop. He introduced the world to Eminem, Snoop, 50 (who I am not a fan of) and Kdot. All of those guys are incredibly talented. Dre admits he doesn’t write his rhymes, he also admits to do producing many tracks he put out. Big difference from artists that where made in a studio. You could turn someone like Jared Leto in to Drake. Teach him how to spit the rhymes, give him the beats and put him in the studio. Then we would have to listen to dude saying he is the “Seattle God, and in the murder business, run up on me BS”? GTFOH

Except Drake only talks about his life which means nobody writes his shit no matter what a nobody like you says a billion times lol
Right. But he’s and money. So Jay Z writes about his life? LOL. You are a retard. He has admitted ghostwriters write his shit. Has nothing to do with what I say. Ask Jay Z to ghost write for you. He will say do you want rich kid bling shit, or gangster shit. You are a complete idiot. Started from the bottom now whe are here? That’s about Drake’s life? He was a teenage television star on some Nickelodeon shit. Dummy.
Damnnnnn HHDX, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH SHIT WE PEEPED A WEEK AGO.
she better then half them fuck boy rappers out now.
I don’t know about her ruining hip hop…but I do know ill bang da hell out of that pussy.
I’d pick Iggy over Future, Drake or Lil (insert whatever) anyday
The Franchise Boys and these new ATL rappers ruined Hip Hop not Iggy sorry. Fail…
They were the gateway and bridge that let Iggy happen for sure.
That lost vibe is out there but damn, you sure do have to sift through a whole lotta sh!t to find it.
Actually, I think shit started to go downhill with No Limit and Master P back in the day. That was the first nail in the coffin.
She spits better then basically all these so called Xxl freshman who are all garbage .. She ruined her own career period.
They might be garbage, but the write their own shit. TI spits better than freshman? No shit. T.I. writes all of her rhymes. Of course she is better. Quentin Miller is a better MC than Meek Mill. We get it. Drake isn’t. Iggy isn’t.

T.I. IS TO BLAME FOR HER!!! DONT FORGET!!! HE JUST SAW THEM DOLLAR $IGN$
Why should Baby and Weezy be the only ones making money off of Pop Tart robots? I ain’t mad at T.I. Or Baby, I am mad at so called Hip-Hop fans defending this garbage.
If she was black she wouldn’t be looked on as bad, her cultural appropriation was too much though. As far as making music n rapping though she is better than over half the trash out here. When ATL became the new NYC of hip hop it was a wrap. The game has had very little balance since like 06 (though it was in decline a few years leading up to it). No wonder drake is a lyrical giant w young thug,rich homie quan,desiigner,etc in the mix.
yeah but the thing is – she is also using a mack ass fake accent! Paved the way for Designer haha
So does Drake. He is Canadian. I have t heard him say ‘eh or aboot in any rhymes yet. Plus there is a call of his to a DJ on the Internet with him talking in his normal voice. He sounds as black as Tom Cruise does. LOL
Like other rappers dont make up accents?? DMX, Keak da sneak, Yukmouth, Game, Nikki Ninaj…you think they all sound that way when they talk in their regular voice?? Kill yo self!!
fake drake is just as much if not more to blame for the decline & disgraceful state of hip hop. he is he fakest bitch made pop tart out since milli vanilli, doesn’t write his own songs, bites & jacks lyrics, verses, beats from real artists who write their own music, lip syncs to recorded background vocals at shows cause his real singing voice is a fucking abomination, ducks and dodges disses and challenges from real MC’s who would destroy him easily ]Royce da 5’9, dmx, common, kendick, jay-z, Ludacris….] fake drake cannot and will not ever be considered a true hip hop artist, he does not write his own lyrics, quntin miller even wrote his diss record back to back. fake bitch won’t even respond to joe budden…wait and see, quintin miller & the 100 other ghostwriters fake drake has better come up with something better than that wack back to back bullshit against budden. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Real talk fam.
Hip hop rubbish with pop tart saleout like most today’s hip hop 1 hit wonders….so don’t give me dat shit about she sucks….. you people like any crap online Jesus! If drake n so on from back in the day are top of hip hop and people say SUGEKNIGHT is bitch?!? Wtf iisthe matter wit youuu!
I am white Irish and I agree, she has ruined hip hop and so has Nicki (Iggy even more so). I am embarassed of most white rappers if I am truely honest and eminem (i know obvious choice…here come the jokes) is the only white rapper i actually listen to. I don’t mind white people in hip hop but only purists who respect the culture and are humble, Iggy is an asshole and it hurts me to think that T.I. even entertained supporting her!!!! White people often hurt the game and culture and make it pop, now every popstar wanna rap with no bars!!!!
Get your racist outta here. Logic n eminem are better than half of the black rappers. Race makes nobody superior to others. also the guy that made the hiphop turn pop,was yeezy who is 0% white
Seriously? Logic is TERRIBLE. A total fake ass Drake copycat. That’s like trying to bite Vanilla Ice’s style. You know nothing about Hip-Hop to throw Logic in the same sentence as Eminem. LOL. Please. Riff Raff is better than Logic, he at least has his own style, it sucks, but it’s his own.
What the fuck dude, Kanye is clearly white.
Rick ross ruined hiphop for me, lying about being a prison guard and shit. I feel like those kids who like wrestling back in the day when they found out it was fake. Luckily there still are good artists making good music, there just seems to be a larger proportion of these style of substance type artists with no originality or talent, just a marketing budget and a gimmick.
Yeah true dat!!!!
Yeah true dat!!!!
Drake ruined hiphop for me.
Lil Wayne ruined hiphop for me.
Rick ross ruined hiphop for me.
The Game ruined hiphop for me.
I don’t like fake shit…
Geez. Where is all of the gay love for Drake people? He is soooo hot. I turn the volume off on Brokeback mountain and get pounded by my Bear Daddy listening to Views. It’s better than a bag full of dildos. 🙂
Wow. People really hate Drake on Hip-hop site comment boards. Shit wasn’t even about dude.
I lost my anal virginity to Drake’s hotline bling. More like hotline O-ring. I shave my testies like his Caesar haircut. My boyfriend loves it. Us dudes from Toronto bang each other and think of Drake’s sexy music. He is the new Village People/Milli Vanilli. The prostate is the new clitoris. Thanks Drake. I have come to understand my body. Go Raptors.
Off topic know but what the fuck happened to Jon Connor hope aftermath releases his album and doesn’t shelf it like every other aftermath artits
Drake ruined hip hop
King chip
King Lame more likely. Nice comment, nerd.
King Lame more likely. Nice comment, nerd.
These days hiphopdx is posting only about fake rappers and some BS artists that is not related to hiphop. On june 28 DMX which is real hip hop gave an interview at breakfast club and released a single. But dx is not talking shit about it.
I 100 percent agree! Jay came out with I Got The Keys and they had it up for a day.
I’d rather listen to Iggy Azalea than Nicki Minaj.
I love that you understand that you are a Vanilla Ice/Milli Vanilli fan and enjoy being called out on it. Must be Canadian. LOL
So you prefer T.I. Over Quentin Miller? Got it. Nikki has the same writers and producers as Drake BTW.
Dont you get it? We love it that you hate Drake :p
you jst meek milled urself if u think a wack american hu doesnt ve 1 good track write 4 d best in d game.
was that english?
because shes white…racist as haters. dare you to say some shit about eminem…you wont.
But your point proved that it’s not because she’s white, it’s because she’s trash..
Drake on the radio,Drake on TV,Drake on the internet,Drake all over awards ceremonies,Drake on all dem posters,Drake when your heroes speak,Drake whenever you comment,Drake in your sleep…if you hate Drake you will die soon.
Right… Drake up there with Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer for the Hip-Hop album that stayed longest on the charts… Appropriate commentary. Dude doesn’t write his rhymes, has zero street cred and lies about his life. He claims all kinds of street cred, and says he came up in some struggle. Started from the bottom? Dude was a teenage star. LOL. GTFOH. You are obviously a Canadian batty boy.
When my heros speak? LOL. GTFOH
When my heros speak? LOL. GTFOH
Yep, Iggy is a white girl who ruined hip hop. And Nicki is black so it’s ok to call her a legend. Fkkk this shtt. Hip hop community insults its own people, and it’s no different than black-on-black murders. I do hate Iggy but I think anything that makes people hear some bars and raps on the radio, is of course helping the culture.
LOL white people keep it real. She’s ruining Hip Hop with the rest of the imbeciles. Today’s “artist” have no talent whatsoever, can’t even speak English properly, can’t rap. HipHopDX is part of it, giving these non-talented mfs exposure. DX and everybody sold out for money$$$
IGGY TRASH … But is she the excuse for the Future’s, Yung Thugs, Migos, Keef Chief, and so many other weak mothafukas thats rapping? Hell NO. Stop blaming her and put some of these weak ass niggas on blast. She pop rap anyway
Drake won over KDot rapper of the year and yall worried about IGGY lmaoooooo
Hold on hold on hold on……
U say drake beat Kendrick and have the nerve to say future is garbage? Smh
Drake beat Kendrick??…maybe in album sales but lyrically get the fk outta here!!
