is more like hip-POP, rather than hip-hop. IA is attractive, but her songs seem to consist of just a few catchy words thrown in a beat--stuff that is suitable for a club scene, essentially. She's not the only mainstream rapper whose songs are like this, either. There are many like her, and I guess much of the more lyrical hip-hop has gone underground for over the past decade...
With regards to IA changing her talk during her songs to give herself a "blaccent", I just think that is one of the damndest things I have ever seen. She comes off as a fake by continuing to rap like that, rather than in her natural accent. I also think it's strange how similar her name and Azealia Banks' name are. She couldn't have at least picked a different color to name herself after?
