I'm not sure if I'm going to be a long term Iggy fan. I haven't listened to her new singles, but I'll bet I know what they sound like.
I was pretty damn impressed with The New Classic when it first hit, and I still think it's a fun listen and a seriously impressive debut.
But I no longer consider it one of the year's finest hip-hop joints. There have been far too many releases that leave "fun" and "impressive" in the dust, crushing expectations and even notions of what hip-hop is/can be, for a fun pop-rap album to be competitive.
