Iggy Azalea Criticizes Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman Reloaded’
From Digital Spy:
Iggy Azalea has criticized Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album for being “very rigid”.
The Australian rapper applauded Minaj for including both rap and pop songs on the LP, but believes it wasn’t “dynamic” enough.
“She definitely had both sides but I think hers was – I don’t wanna be mean to her because I’m not being mean – but I don’t think that it was dynamic,” she told Digital Spy.
“I could see both sides and I’m not saying it has to be that way, but it was very rigid in the way that it flipped between the two [sounds]. I like to make the music flow like a river – I’m like, ‘You have to listen to the album from track one to ten!'”
