Iggy Recently sat down with The Boombox and discussed collaborations as well has Azealia Banks stealing her spotlight like Kanye did Taylor Swift.

Iggy Azalea hasn’t gotten used to being famous yet. Over the last six months, the Aussie rapper has gone from Internet star to having all of hip-hop’s ears turned in her direction. Cutting her teeth in Atlanta before heading to L.A., Azalea , born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, fell in love with rap at age 11, after hearing Tupac’s song “Baby Don’t Cry.” Three years later, she started rapping and moved to the states before she was 21.

Like many up-and-coming rhymers, Azalea started posting her music on YouTube, and amassed a solid fan following. Among the tracks that garnered her the most hits was the sexually explicit, bass heavy track “Pu$$y.” Out the gate, Azalea’s aggressive flow, with a hint of a southern accent, is the last thing one would expect from a platinum blonde white girl from down under. But maybe that’s why she’s so appealing. Although hip-hop has no race requirements, there’s no denying that the number of successful white rappers are few and far between. In the last year alone, a handful of white female rappers have emerged, namely Kreayshawn, her sidekick V-Nasty, K-Flay and Azalea herself, who are bending rules when it comes to what rappers can both look and sound like.
