    Good rhymes, good lyrics, good flow and good instrumentals. She is getting better and better and the critics have to deal with that or eat it anyway.

    É o meu álbum favorito do ano, a Iggy realmente sabe como produzir algo dançante e com flow, o conceito do álbum é redondinho e ele é ótimo.

    This is the Iggy I know and love, she went back to her roots but now she has the studio production quality to back that @$$ up on.

    This album is definitely one of the best rap albums of the year. It showcased Iggy’s amazing improvement flow-wise, lyrics-wise, and content-wise. “The New Classic” showed more of a “pop singer” side of her but this album definitely brings out the aggressive & “rapper” side of her. I’m proud.

    Álbum incrível! Nos 35 minutos de álbum Iggy demonstra que ela esta na sua própria defesa, e que ninguém manda nela !

    Uma crítica clara a todos os haters que criticaram ela nesses 5 anos, é um álbum agressivo e extremamente defensivo, assim como o nome o conceito segue completamente coesivo e bem feito. Os grandes críticos parece que nunca vão entender o conceito de defesa da iggy. Pois nunca passaram por isso

    So many catchy songs and clever lyrics. I’m leaving a 10 due to the fact that Critics need to stop sleeping on Iggy.

    Esse album é a prova viva que um artista pode conseguir alcançar seus objetivos, mesmo com uma sonoridade parecida é algo bom e genuíno que poucos têm hoje em dia, Iggy o mundo não te merece, você merece ele.

    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.

    A masterpiece. Iggy always knows how to surprise her public. Great melodies and good lyrics, it’s an album full of smash hits that you can’t forget how to sing it.

    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.

    Um projeto majestoso, que visa mostrar que ela está ali sim, que sabe fazer rap e que não liga para Hate. Com ótimas músicas e poucos feats., In My Defense mostra que Iggy evoluiu como artista e que sabe e dá o que seu público espera dela.

    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.
