73. "But this girl band SUCKS!!!!"

Oct 2014

Certainly not iggy's best material....she's an Australian who moved to Miami when she was growing up....worked at strip clubs for awhile.. (my gf loves her)

What does Australian rapper Iggy Azalea have in common with the Beatles?

Here's some of her better stuff:
