    this album is a great body of pure rap, great punchlines, metaphors and hyped up through out the album.

    Surprised at the low score as this is her best body of work in my opinion. Sally walker and started are probably her best solo songs.

    This was definitely a great comeback for Azalea! Loved the aggressive hip hop sound she went with for this project.

    Nobody expected Azalea to come back super talented and with an entirely new shtick. Nonetheless, In My Defense could have been a tad bit more introspective or at the very least, fun.

    The album is stacked with cartoonish approximations of what she thinks a rap song should sound like: shivers of bass, the occasional “skrrrt,” Mad Libs of designer brands and bodily fluids. Many sound like direct imitations of the rappers she admires.

    After a half-decade of life lessons, Azalea could have gone in a certain cathartic and mature direction. However, on In My Defense, she opted for a less gracious and, ultimately, exhausted route.
