The New Classic won Azalea four Grammy nominations - for best new artist, best rap album, record of the year and best pop duo/group performance (for "Fancy"). No act had achieved this since the Beatles in 1964.
Her single "Fancy" (featuring British singer Charli XCX) reached the top spot, with Ariana Grande's "Problem," which featured Azalea as a guest, in second place. 2 positions on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. And if you want to have an achievement, work, and earn your own achievements."Ī month later, Azalea made music history by occupying both the No 1. The cover sparked a social-media beef with rapper and near-namesake Azealia Banks, who tweeted: "How can you endorse a white woman who calls herself a runaway slave master?" This was a reference to the controversial lyrics in Iggy's song "DRUGS," which the Australian rapper would later apologize for as a "tacky and careless thing to say." To Banks, Azalea replied: "You should just be happy I'm on as a woman, for women. The following year she appeared on the cover of XXL magazine's 2012 Freshmen Class issue - the first female non-American rapper to make their Freshmen Class list. In 2011 - right after she relocated once again, this time to Los Angeles - she released the mixtape Ignorant Art, its raw and brash sound infused with trap music, a descendant of Southern rap.
Azalea moved from Miami to Houston before ending up in Atlanta and embedding herself in her cultural surroundings, drawl and all.
