    An amazing growth from her previous work. Unfairly judged by metacrituc...but atleast the fans have taste and have rated it super high.

    Genuinely a great album. No filler songs, incredible production and catchy as hell. The critics couldn't be more wrong about this and it still shows they hate Iggy for now apparent reason.

    simply one of my favorites of the year, thanks to its fun and carefree nature. the lyrics may disappoint a bit if you go by the album title, but isn’t she allowed to talk some nasty **** as long as she is happy and satisfied with her material? that’s what i think about it, the chronicles of happiness and satisfaction of a rich woman!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum é incrível! Pode não ser o mais revolucionário em termos de produção, mas Iggy deu muito duro pra conseguir lançá-lo. Ela está cansada do hate, de ser ignorada e de tanta ingratidão frente aos números e recordes que ela conquistou em 2014. O mundo não merecem ela, principalmente esse bando de macho das revistas fazendo review de um álbum que eles não tem conhecimento pra compreender a importância.… Expand

    I love this album! It was about time for her to release another one. I've been watching her fight to release a new album since Digital Distortion. It's very good for an independent artist. Congrats Iggy!

    Such a cohesive album. She proves she can produce bangers and know how to rap over any type of flow.

    Album 100% full of rap & bops. Might be repetitive at some points but Iggy really shows her bars and energy here. Perfectly cohesive.

    The best female rap album of the decade. This album is a masterpiece and is amazing since Iggy is an independent artist now, it means that she is doing everything by her own. The people should be stop slepping on her because she is a very talented , humble, and amazing artist.

    I'm my defense is the perfect "comeback", since she's been here all along but you locals didn't notice all because of stupid rumors, sexism and a **** label, but this is the past, now iggy is free, indie with her own label, basically this record is a combination of hip hop in its finest with freedom, love and happiness, so no critic or award can take that away from her.

    Although the album does not hold up to the title it doesn’t fail to get you up and dancing. The bar spitting and the cadence of Iggy on this album has shown how she has evolved as an MC. The catchy beats and choruses make such a fun album.

    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.
