This Australian is Whack, Yo

by Ben Reilly Mon Jun 30, 2014 6:47 am

I'm sorry, she starts with "First thing first, I'm the realest" and yet she's about as far from "real" as it gets! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iggy_Azalea

She reminds me a bit of my 19-year-old cousin, though. We had a family gathering a few years ago and the cousin I'm referring to said, "You know what my high school is full of?"

My older cousin didn't miss a beat -- "White girls who talk like they're black?" Smile

For the sake of fairness, I should add that I don't think the Brits really get it right, either:

Yeesh.

I DON'T know how you keep on digging up these oddities, Ben...

NOT only have I never heard of that weirdo before now..

BUT I'M willing to bet that 99.999% of the Australian population have never heard of her either ! Razz

Over the years I've developed quite the knack for finding some of the weirdest shit ... ::D::

Check out this one when you get the chance:

We might think that the world is a cruel place now, but millions of years ago the dinosaurs lived in a world without mercy, "a freakish, hellish nightmare world drenched in the blood and gore of violence, death and destruction" inhabited by "abnormal, grotesque creatures and monstrosities" hellbent on destruction. It was a world invented by the Devil himself, according to Damien Royce and Jason Zolot, the authors of Did God Destroy the Dinosaurs?

While millions of dinosaur lovers everywhere delight in their gigantic proportions and sometimes comical physiognomies, Royce and Zolot are deeply disturbed by them. "Even a cursory examination of the facts," they write, "produces the distinct feeling that something was just not right with the dinosaurs and the related reptiles of the air and sea. It is as if they were not of this world and did not belong in it. It is as if they were travesties of Nature, monstrous caricatures of other creatures and of life itself--the result of some obscene joke played by some perverted prankster." It was the most perverted prankster of all, Satan, who created these travesties and, in his insatiable perversity, became one himself.

The authors, horrified at this bizarre scenario, are more than the saurophobic Satan-bashers that they seem to be. They are also theologians who take the time to carefully argue their case, with due consideration to science, as well as the history of religious beliefs. Their inevitable conclusion--that Satan created the dinosaurs and that God destroyed them--is a reconciliation, they claim, between science and the Bible.

By the way, when Iggy moved to the States, her mother stayed at home. Or should I say, at (doing my best here) "heh-o-r-m."

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:10 am

Yeah Iggy is weird she is only really made it in the US no one else has heard of her. first Aussies heard of her she was winning some MTV award or something

We have Skip-hop here (Aussies are called Skippys)
It is different it is funnier and more lighter hearted than US rap

the Swing Movement Razz

SO it was to be Colony for Convicts...

Toorali Toorali Aye, we're all bound for Botany Bay

And when John Howard was finally voted out
"Finally the King is dead we cry, off with his head"
We dance like New years eve, we dance so cheerily, we dance from relief, Everything Must change"

And Dizzy rascal from he UK is the Same
Actually I think you guys do it wrong you may have done it first but other are doing it better.

"And all I care about is sex and violence

We don't know who she is we can't even watch her clips Razz

I call her out as a Fake Aussie, I don't know anyone that knows her Rolling Eyes

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:18 am

First time I have actually heard her music and boy is that some over produced shit.

Don't you guys know how to DJ, so much of your pop/rap stuff is just so crap rhythm and beats it sound like a 90's video game

And what accent is she impersonating.. that is not an Aussie accent at all confused

she sounds American ? I think she may be fake Shocked

I was joking but that doesn't sound like someone that grew up here.

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:25 am

Funny

a big skip hopper at the moment down under is 'Illy'

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:28 am

by Ben Reilly Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:31 am

Dude, she was on YOUR upside-down TV too:

It's funny, I've had a few encounters with Aussies who've been living here for a while, including this gentleman just today:

This Australian is Whack, Yo Stuart_Deane_Trophies

This Australian is Whack, Yo Stuart_Deane_Trophies

(PGA golfer Stuart Deane)

He's originally from Brisbane but has been here since the late 90s, I asked him if his family back home tells him he sounds more American now and he said that he finds his accent changing depending on who he's talking to. Mind you, I could tell he was Australian from the moment he said "hi."

And then there are the Australian actors on U.S. shows who don't seem to have a trace of their former accent -- Portia De Rossi and Anthony LaPaglia spring to mind. I thought LaPaglia was from somewhere like New York until I found out he was from Adelaide.

by Ben Reilly Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:35 am

Ah, I much prefer Illy's sound (funny that his name's so similar). Reminds me a bit of G-Love!

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 5:42 am

the actors sound normal when they come home.. She was on a TV show that has already be cancelled due to NO ONE WATCHING it.

DEAR SCIENCE

Yo, it goes science
Yeah science is amazing
But not to me though cause I am sick of waiting
I've been patient
I really have, I've been reasonable
Now it's time to say what I needed to
Dear science, cheers for the iPods
White goods, yeah thank you for the cyborgs
Top work on the light bulb
That was quite cool
But where's my hoverboard?
I mean I know you've been busy
But no hoverboards just seems a bit piss weak
I got a brand new computer and a big screen
I guess Back to the Future was a dick tease
And I can't be the only one
Maybe everyone forgot but I am holding on
The hovercraft was a solid start
Shoulda stuck with it, hoverboard
Where the fuck is it?

Oh man, I could only endure a bit of K-Dog -- sorry Rolling Eyes

He reminds me of some wanna-be rappers I knew in high-school! Maybe with some better production values ...

Here you go:

Brought to you by the best white Albino Black Muslim American rapper alive!

Or if you prefer the classics:

I'm really glad I read that one right Smile

No offense to your brother, but K-Dog is ... let's just say I'd always put on Iggy if it was a choice between the two ...

by Ben Reilly Thu Jul 03, 2014 6:30 am

I liked that, especially hearing Eso use his real accent; I was wondering how an Australian would sound rapping with his/her real accent and he makes it work!

I wonder if it's a total accident that the group name is kind of a multilingual play on words? "Eso" is "That" in Spanish, so translate it and you have "Bliss and That" (rhyming with "This and That").

by veya_victaous Thu Jul 03, 2014 6:38 am

Not Sure, one is Moroccan so maybe

The trio, American MC Bliss (Jonathan Notley), Australian MC Eso (Max MacKinnon) and DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai) who is Arabian, of Moroccan heritage, have been friends (and have rapped together) since high school.[2] Notley moved to Australia in 1992 when he was thirteen and met MacKinnon at the Glenaeon Steiner School in Sydney.

Yeah, I caught Bliss rapping about being teased at school for having an accent -- we Yanks don't often think of ourselves as having one, like ours is "default" or something Smile

I guess that attitude exists everywhere to some extent, though.

actually that is something we don't have

All Aussie have the same accent (more or less, it gets a git stronger in rural areas) even if we come from cities a 1000 miles apart

not like you guys... each state gets it own voice

Bliss N Eso went to South Africa for the Make Poverty History / Schools4Schools program. While over there they filmed this video for the first single of the Flying Colours album which is due for release on the 26th April 2008. 100% of all profits made from this single goes to the Oaktree Foundation to help aid poverty stricken communities in South Africa. Together we can really make a difference.

Interesting article on Joelistics, I don't know if you knew, but Eminem tried to be a quote-unquote positive rapper earlier in his career (probably mid-90s). It didn't take and hardly anybody talks about it now ...

After his "positive-rap" debut failed he went to a darker place and started writing what ended up becoming 'The Slim Shady LP,' and rocketed to stardom. I thought it was U.S. thing; Oasis never hit big over here with any of their upbeat singles, but a lot of their more melancholy ones charted really well. Maybe it's just people not wanting a bunch of smoke blown up their asses Smile

Seems to me on an Iggy Azalea thread we ought to at least post who's she's ripping off:

And just for some more awesome rapping, MC Frontalot proving you can use homophobic slurs if you mean well. Listen for a while to get to the part that goes "Tempting every American to give in to forbidden longing," some of the best rapping I've ever heard:
