Questlove Calls Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’ A “Game-Changer”

Hip hop intellectual Questlove weighs in on the genre’s big fuss over Australian-native Iggy Azalea. Currently holding the record for standing at the No. 1 spot on the charts the longest as a femcee, Questlove explains why her standout track “Fancy” is great for the ever-evolving hip hop.

 “If you love something, you gotta set it free. I will say that ‘Fancy,’ above any song that I’ve ever heard or dealt with, is a game-changer in that fact that we’re truly going to have to come to grips with the fact that hip-hop has spread its wings,” he said in an interview with Time

With all the Iggy shade popping up around the net for her use of the N-word, her perfect American accent  and being a “culture vulture” the Roots leader continues to say that while he feels himself caught in the middle he still backs her. “I’m not going to lie to you, I’m torn between the opinions on the Internet, but I’mma let Iggy be Iggy. It’s not even politically correct dribble. The song is effective. I’m in the middle of the approximation of the enunciation, I’ll say. Part of me hopes she grows out of that and says it with her regular dialect — I think that would be cooler. But, yeah, ‘Fancy’ is the song of the summer,” he said. 

Do you agree with Questlove?
