    This album have a costume, it's called rap. But this album contains everything except that. I didn't like it all. It's a probe that the rap was failing. She only had One Hit and after that, she doesn't have a top 40 either. and it's full boring

    This album should never have existed but its reissue yes. And is that Reclasiffied should be the only existing The New Classic because that is an improvement with everything and the word. even so Iggy showed that she is a rapper of high levels and that deserves respect.

    Iggy tried and Iggy failed. No need to say more. Maybe it's not one of the worst albums I've heard and maybe it does have some cute bops, but overall this release is still very far from what we could call "The New Classic"

    O álbum tem uma produção ótima! Os vocais são péssimos. O flow dela é horrível. As letras não tem mão dela. Iggy como uma ótima máquina de lucros, é uma péssima artista em estúdio e não pode fazer um álbum bom.

    Ela pode tentar o Dance, que a probabilidade do autotune dar certo é 100%.

    Tente de novo, Iggy.

    The album is funny and catchy in some parts, but in general is a disappointment. It's not new, it's not classic, it's just messy. There is no composition and no voice.

    Utter **** What else should I say to this trash? The only memorable track is Black Widow and still has nothing to offer but alright vocals from Rita Ora and still is a cringy track.

    Well yeah this album not shambolic but not brilliant either without a doubt a negative review the days of female rappers like Lil Kim and Missy Elliott are over with Iggy and Nicki shame really they were brilliant days.

    This album is so bad it hurts to hear. There's nothing really great or outstanding here, it's not a classic. Iggy Azalea has no talent, how can she thinks she is good enough to reinvent hip hop music? She can't even freestyle. Oh, she is a slave master? Funny.

    Ruim. Rapper, sério? Ela vai ter que comer muito arroz e feijão para ser uma BOA rapper, mas acho difícil com a voz irritante dela (sério, que voz chata), mas dou dois por Black Widow, não pelo desempenho dela, mas pelo o da Rita Ora que foi MARAVILHOSO.

    Parece que Iggy perdeu toda a essência da música, esse álbum é um amontoado de músicas descartáveis as única que tem um potencial bom é Work mas o resto é hórrivel, espero que no próximo álbum ela melhore.

    Worst rap album , her voice is annoying , breathless, that's not true rap , your place is not in rap but in pop . You have to improve a lot for joining with quality in the world of rap .

    The problem with Iggy Azalea is she thinks is the new queen of rap but everybody knows the only queen of Rap is Nicki Minaj, NIcki is pure talent and Azalea is very bad in Rap. #NOSHADE

    The New Classic is everything, but just not:
    - The (Rap) Album of the Year.
    - A high quality album.
    - Original.
    - possibly diverting.
    - A New Classic.

    A unica coisa ''''''''''''boa'''''''''''' nesse album são os instrumentais de ''Bounce''...

    Nem de ''Fancy'' música em colaboração com uma das minhas cantoras prefiridas (Charli XCX) eu consigo gostar...

    Melhores músicas : Nenhuma

    Resumindo esse album em uma palavra : LIXO

    The New Classic, though stacked from top to bottom with an impressive collection of production efforts, is nothing more than derivative delivery soaked in stylistic heresy.

    I'm not criticizing her rap, because she has actually some talent in rapping.
    Anyway this album is a bad acoustic experience further worsened by trashy minimal instrumentals and by a total, demeaning lack of variety.

    Because this **** can be called rap album? This is a sound garbage, a ridiculous , which can not even do a freestyle , want to give a badass rapper.
    I hope Iggy Azalea change from now on, because if she continues with this style The New Classic , it only tends to get worse.

    This album definitely has it club bangers but Iggy loses herself in her own raps, making it hard for the audience to understand her word. Im not sure if Iggy herself understands what she's speaking upon, but its obvious to say that Iggy Azalea is not a good rapper what so ever. "Black Widow" and "Fancy" are the highlights of the album but not because of Iggy's rap but for the catchy popThis album definitely has it club bangers but Iggy loses herself in her own raps, making it hard for the audience to understand her word.

"Black Widow" and "Fancy" are the highlights of the album but not because of Iggy's rap but for the catchy pop choruses sang by featured artist Rita Ora and Charli XCX. This isn't the worse album ever but it sure does lack a lot effort and stability. The album could had garned a better responses if it was just a flat out pop album that had nothing to do with Iggy rapping. Expand

    The directionless album may have a number of songs that will make radio programmers drool, but the staying power resembles anything but a classic. She's really bad!

    If Iggy wanted her new album to be a New Classic, I'm sorry girl, but it didn't work. It was mean to be a rap album, but it's more a bubblegum pop. The musics stay in our minds but there's no quality in there. One example: Fancy, it's a #1 song, but it sucks. Hope that Iggy becomes more rap and make songs with more quality.

    Iggy era muito boa, mas esse album está muito superficial, saudades da Iggy no estilo WORK, **** MY WORLD, esse album é totalmente descartável. Que no próximo, sem ser o reclassified que é outro lixo, ela venha lacrando tudo.

    Iggy Azalea's a fun girl booty-shaking a few morsels of neon, hashtag-spangled pop.

    While Azalea drops the occasional zinger, The New Classic is the sound of an ersatz rebel playing to script, having a shot at the rap career Paris Hilton never quite got round to. [Jun 2014, p.123]
