    Album wronged by many people, it's a good Rap/hip-Hop album, it deserves a good rating

    This was definitely a great comeback for Azalea! Loved the aggressive hip hop sound she went with for this project.

    in my defense es un álbum independiente de iggy azalea, que a pesar de no contar con una disquera, supo posicionarlo al mercado, lograr diversos hits y demostrar que una artista independiente también puede generar bops y excelentes videoclips.

    Surprised at the low score as this is her best body of work in my opinion. Sally walker and started are probably her best solo songs.

    ela é muito talentosa e inteligente, Iggy tem os melhores videoclipes da indústria musical e entregou isso junto com as músicas nesse álbum, ela merece respeito!

    Azalea trae un nuevo álbum después de The New Classic, el sonido es bueno, con un gran concepto y canciones frescas, el álbum se hace muy ligero y bueno para escuchar

    I can’t understand how the critics don’t like this album, it’s a hip hop/rap album and it’s very good, with good beats and interesting lyrics. Iggy’s just so underrated and that’s sad!

    Это неплохой альбом, но только синглы из него достаточно хороши. Однако она старалась и я поставлю ей высокую оценку именно за синглы. Жду следующий альбом

    The sophomore is a stark departure from the feature heavy pop-rap debut that featured singers like Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding and Jennifer Hudson.

Instead this time around, the only features come in the form of guest verses, with Kash Doll’s appearance on **** It Up being a stand out moment on the album. While The New Classic was consistent in delivering potential radio hits with sing-a-long choruses sang by a featured artist, In My Defense is consistent in J. White beats that allow Iggy to deliver her charismatic and effortless verses.

    Singles Sally Walker, Started and **** It Up are the album highlights, merging Iggy’s low tone flow with J. White’s menacing beats, a harmony that perfectly blend together. Where 2018’s Survive The Summer primarily featured Iggy rapping slowly over dark, nocturnal beats made for clubs, In My Defense allows Iggy to switch up her flow often and could easily be the soundtrack of a summer pool party.

    An album named 'In My Defense' — only Iggy Azalea will do this. Album full of bops, there is a few other things that I dislike — "Big Bag", the song itself has no power, and the last song. I didn't like "P**sy Pop" but I didn't dislike it. It's an okay song but has no rights for being the ending of the album. Middle of the album is fun and she just let the album fade with the tracklisting.

    Nobody expected Azalea to come back super talented and with an entirely new shtick. Nonetheless, In My Defense could have been a tad bit more introspective or at the very least, fun.

    The album is stacked with cartoonish approximations of what she thinks a rap song should sound like: shivers of bass, the occasional “skrrrt,” Mad Libs of designer brands and bodily fluids. Many sound like direct imitations of the rappers she admires.

    After a half-decade of life lessons, Azalea could have gone in a certain cathartic and mature direction. However, on In My Defense, she opted for a less gracious and, ultimately, exhausted route.
