    This album is definitely one of the best rap albums of the year. It showcased Iggy’s amazing improvement flow-wise, lyrics-wise, and content-wise. “The New Classic” showed more of a “pop singer” side of her but this album definitely brings out the aggressive & “rapper” side of her. I’m proud.

    Uma crítica clara a todos os haters que criticaram ela nesses 5 anos, é um álbum agressivo e extremamente defensivo, assim como o nome o conceito segue completamente coesivo e bem feito. Os grandes críticos parece que nunca vão entender o conceito de defesa da iggy. Pois nunca passaram por isso

    Although the album does not hold up to the title it doesn’t fail to get you up and dancing. The bar spitting and the cadence of Iggy on this album has shown how she has evolved as an MC. The catchy beats and choruses make such a fun album.

Ela está cansada do hate, de ser ignorada e de tanta ingratidão frente aos números e recordes que ela conquistou em 2014.

    Iggy has proven yet again why she holds the accolades that she does. When she hit big with Fancy, everyone labeled her a pop/rap star without realizing that she's a RAPPER. The pop rap scene wasn't for her and so she decided to take it back to her mixtape days with this album and IT WORKS.

When she hit big with Fancy, everyone labeled her a pop/rap star without realizing that she's a RAPPER. The pop rap scene wasn't for her and so she decided to take it back to her mixtape days with this album and IT WORKS. She's raw, she's cocky, she's bragging about her money (as she damn well deserves to.) I'm not sure why it's okay for male rappers to brag about their ice and their money but once a female does it, she's labeled a **** or she's told she should speak about something else more meaningful. She tried to give y'all meaning with Savior and y'all let it flop, so she decided to take her power back as an artist and a rapper and talk about what SHE wants to talk about instead of trying to please everyone. The die hard Azaleans know that THIS is the Iggy we want, need and love. TNC was cute as an intro but it's time for Iggy to do Iggy again and that's what this album does. She brought the heat and if y'all can't take it then simply exit the kitchen. 10/10 for sure! Expand

    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.
