What is Iggy Azalea even saying here?

by Tyler Munro

Iggy Azalea gets a lot of grief, some justified, some not. But even we can’t defend her here.

This video’s been making the rounds on Vine, and honestly, what? What language is this? Are these even words?

This freestyle plays like Iggy’s brain forgot how words work. It’s like she’s rapping to a speech jammer, or like her Aussie accent’s fighting back against her appropriated New York swagger. It’s like that scene in Bruce Almighty.
