Meh, personal preference. Lotta different shades to the genre. Frequently older fans get nostalgic and bitter when THEIR sound wanes in popularity.
I'm in my '40s, and was there when the press was still calling 'rap' "Jive-Rhyming". I was there when Sugarhill Gang and Double Dutch Bus were new, lived through the late '80s contractions, the '90s underground sound and the '00s rhythmic Hit-Pop explosion. This sounds like Hip-Hop to me.

I really hope this crosses over to Urban. Has there ever been a white female rapper to successfully chart on Urban? If not, I think at some point in her career there is a good chance she'll become the first. :)

This sounds like Hip-Hop to me. Fair enough. I was born in 1985....I was raised on the 90s underground sound, and even during the 00s I wasn't really into mainstream rap, I was mostly on the fringe of the mainstream (Nas, Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, etc.). This decade I'm into artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Schoolboy Q, Currensy, etc...and they are they are pretty much in that same vein for this generation. I don't like a lot of 80s rap and never really listened to it very much, but come to think of it, this does sound like mid to late 80s rap in the same vein as JJ Fad

I really hope this crosses over to Urban. Has there ever been a white female rapper to successfully chart on Urban? If not, I think at some point in her career there is a good chance she'll become the first. :) Fergie has a rap verse on Imma Be and that went top 20. She's not a proper rapper though, so I don't know if that counts lol.

Not a solo artist, and not white, so no. Fergie is white..... Just looked into it... Turns out she made up a story about Mexican heritage, but her genealogy is European through-and-through. Point goes to Ben

Also, Nelly Furtado and Miley Cyrus rap in Promiscuous and 23 respectively, and those went top 20. But they're probably in the same group as Fergie lol.

Iggy just tweeted its #2 on the Hot 100.
"Hot Digital Songs: #2 Fancy, @iggyazalea Feat. @charli_XCX 234,000 (1,046,000 total)."
She's now the first act to have the top 2 Digital Songs for 3 consecutive weeks I think!

Pop Songs*** No. 1 (1 week)*** "Fancy" Iggy Azalea Featuring Charli XCX As Iggy Azalea's "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX, rises 2-1 on Pop Songs, it becomes the fourth No. 1 by a female rapper in the airplay survey's 21-year history: Lil' Kim led with "Lady Marmalade," with Christina Aguilera, Mya and P!nk, for nine weeks in 2001; Eve's "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (featuring Gwen Stefani) topped the Aug. 25, 2001, tally; and Missy Elliott ruled as a featured artist on Ciara's "1, 2 Step" for two weeks in 2005. "Fancy" spends a second week atop both Rhythmic Songs and Rap Airplay.

#2 on Urban radio! :o
And Iggy has 4 songs on the Rhythmic top 15! Are there any stats with other artists that did this / possibly had more songs?
