Hmmm. Clips are nice. More low-key sounding that I would have anticipated, but that's not a bad thing.

This is cute, but it isn’t better than Switch at all. I really can’t see this doing much for her even if it does become a radio hit.

I like this. It's one of those songs that immediately puts you in a vibe. I'll be shocked/impressed if it does well, though. I think Iggz is pretty much cancelled.
This is one of Quavo's best features. He sounds so good on the hook. Makes him seem a little more versatile. His contribution was the highlight for me.

I am so excited for Iggy. She deserves a hit after everything she went through.
#31 on US Itunes Chart

I think Iggz is pretty much cancelled. This. It's really hard to recover when you have so much working against you, including yourself at times. Race aside, her career trajectory is similar to that of Vanilla Ice at this point, without the massive US debut album sales (but she has the edge in terms of overall Hot 100 performance). She had everyone's attention with one big #1 smash and another top 10 as lead artist and a handful of songs that charted (I know, I know, Problem was a huge feature) and showing all signs of being commercially dead after approximately 3 years. I like this enough to not totally write it/her off, but I just think she, the artist/person/star, lost her mojo in the US and doesn't have enough support from non-diehard fans or the industry to get it back.

18 on Itunes! For her to get that high on Itunes shows she’s got a chance

I'm too jaded. All I kept thinking while listening to this was "we can't get rapsody near a mainstream hit but this heffa's medicore behind keeps coming back" lol. At least Cardi (who also started out pretty medicore with her ap skills) has a fun personalty and seems to get better every time you hear her.
I'm so over everything right now.
Well I do like the music itself and Quavo's part. I found Iggy's voice jarring in parts, other parts it was okay.

This is definitely her best single attempt since “Work” and “Change Your Life.” Hopefully radio gives this a chance.

I'm just gonna say that:
1. I'm surprised that she's flopping that hard. The song is radio friendly and they put a lot of work and effort (plus coins) into the lyric & music videos. Anyway. 2. What I love most about the song is Quavo on the hook. I literally love this part. Never even imagined I would say this.

Quavo is in his prime and good at what he does. Iggy had two hot singles, because of Charli and Rita. End of discussion

Iggy had two hot singles, because of Charli and Rita. End of discussion Do you not remember 2014? Iggy was basically an A-List celebrity then, people were fascinated with her. Even Jennifer Lopez and Britney Spears wanted to collaborate with her. It was actually quite difficult to watch for the black community, because it was so blatant people were interested in her because she was white, and the way things were going she could be getting all this attention for years if she wasn't stopped, that's why when people found some racist tweets from her pretty much every black person in the country (and a lot of non-blacks) spread them around (surely you remember this?). She wasn't some anonymous rapper like you're making her out to be lol, quite the opposite. A lot of black women on the Internet were quite distressed about it at the time. Azealia Banks is the most high-profile case, at one point she even went on the radio and burst into tears just talking about it. These people wouldn't have gotten so emotional about the situation if Iggy went by relatively un-noticed and Charli and Rita were getting all the fame, success and attention. I think either you don't remember 2014 very well, or you are intentionally under-stating her fame at the time for some reason. I'm actually surprised people haven't reacted the same way to Post Malone to be quite honest, there are quite a few things out there that can be used to make him look racist. But at least there are people like Drake and Kendrick who are more successful than him, whilst in Iggy's case if she wasn't stopped and carried on at the rate she was going she could've surpassed Nicki Minaj quite easily, which would've been quite sad to watch when so many black female rappers struggling. She already got a hit as big Super Bass, and was looking to keep getting more, although I don't think her album sales could've ever competed with Nicki's regardless.
