Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” has been named Billboard’s top Song of the Summer of 2014.
The cut, which features Charli XCX, held the #1 spot all seven weeks this summer on the chart, which tracks the most popular songs according to Billboard Hot 100 chart performance from Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Iggy Azalea also appears on Ariana Grande’s “Problem,” Billboard’s #3 Song of the Summer.
Iggy Azalea is the first woman to have two songs in the top three of the chart.
Despite her success, Iggy Azalea has faced criticism. Her mentor, T.I., came to Iggy Azalea’s defense last month about claims that she is racist.
“That pisses me off,” T.I. said of the “Fancy” star’s detractors. “Simply because they don’t have any real substantial grounds. ‘I don’t like them.’ Why? ‘Just ‘cause.’ What you mean just ‘cause? Since when do you get the right to judge people? Who died and made you the emperor of Egypt? That kind of shit and then the things that they accuse her of, like the racist stuff. That’s not even her. That’s not even in her. Me knowing her, knowing where she comes from—for real, the whole racist thing, that’s American—we forget, she’s not American. So the whole Black, white, color divided thing, it isn’t a part of her DNA like it is here in America. It’s just ignorant to me. In this day and age, to be a race of people who are demanding equality and speaking out on injustices and wanting to be treating fairly, to stand up and do the exact same thing in opposite to someone unwarranted for no reason, it’s hypocritical. I’ma ride with her. So, ya’ll go ahead. Anybody got a problem with it just know, it gon’ be one ‘cause I’m coming.”

All manufactured.

I like to finger this bitch when she crowd surfs.
Although I’m sure there are thousands of soccer moms who unknowingly supposedly supported “hip hop” , I fucking hated this song and most of the songs this summer. Unfortunately my song of the summer might be Let’s go do it- Mystikal feat Snoop and Silkk tha shocker.. Had to dig into the vault to find good music again. Fucking sad state were in
Nah you’re just a super cool hipster. You sound like my mother “music was better back in my day!”
Sounds like I’d enjoy a good fucking of your mother, what’s that whore’s number?
Yeah Australians are proper racist. You should hear the shit they talk about aborigines and how they get treated
Just aborigines? Look at how they treat people from Asia, I couldn’t imagine what they would do if blacks started showing up in mass to Australia.
QUEEN
the new classic stays living up to its name. Iggy continues to grow bigger the new mackelmoore of the rap game
Hip Hop is officially dead.
