    Album wronged by many people, it's a good Rap/hip-Hop album, it deserves a good rating

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

    in my defense es un álbum independiente de iggy azalea, que a pesar de no contar con una disquera, supo posicionarlo al mercado, lograr diversos hits y demostrar que una artista independiente también puede generar bops y excelentes videoclips.

    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.

    Pior album já lançado por algum artista de rap, essa mulher é um desserviço pro rap, ainda bem que se aposentou.

    one of the best hip hop albums ever made, she went from pop to this, they really need wash their ears first to make a review of this amazing album

    Could’ve been a masterpiece if worked on more.
    Some of the songs are bland and the album has no personality overall.
    Twerking songs are good, but we wanted something more mature from Iggy with this album

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

    Iggy is going to hell for releasing this garbage. On release night, i was actually excited, but going from track to track i felt like crying. This album is so lifeless and sounds like a bad attempt at mainstream hip hop. I guess the production is alright (even though you can def tell which tell had more production), the beats are alright and she can flow well but the whole thing is stillIggy is going to hell for releasing this garbage.

This is so fcking bad i wish i could airdrop my feelings to you guys to make y'all understand ! Idk what the user score is hearing and its showing they cant be trusted either. I really feel like she took 700 steps back with this album. A stain in her discography. Her unreleased album Digital distortion is miles ahead better and i'm moved to tears everyday that it cant properly see hasn't been the light of day but THIS has....This direction she's going is.... and its worrisome because it seems she hears nothing wrong with this and wants to continue with this direction. Like she listened to this and liked it enough to release it......… Expand

    It was a really good album. That music is so fabulous for dancing. A combination of fun and sexy lyrics. Iggy is perfect with new her style.

    ela é muito talentosa e inteligente, Iggy tem os melhores videoclipes da indústria musical e entregou isso junto com as músicas nesse álbum, ela merece respeito!

    Azalea trae un nuevo álbum después de The New Classic, el sonido es bueno, con un gran concepto y canciones frescas, el álbum se hace muy ligero y bueno para escuchar

    I can’t understand how the critics don’t like this album, it’s a hip hop/rap album and it’s very good, with good beats and interesting lyrics. Iggy’s just so underrated and that’s sad!

    Plano, es un disco totalmente plano y repetitivo, si tan sólo las canciones hubieran sido similares a los sencillos, otra cosa hubiera sido

    If I were listening to this rap album expecting great rap and lyrics, then I would give this a 0. All the songs make an attempt at being rap, and there actually are a few songs that I would put in my playlist, but it's not rap. The beats are catchy, and there honestly isn't a 'worst' song on the album. There's a couple good songs, and then the rest are varying levels of 'meh'.

    Why are people giving this album a good rating Iggy can’t rap and I don’t even classify her as a rapper she’s one of the worst rappers out there

    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.
