QuoteThe year is only a week and a half old, but we've already got our first certifiable audio trainwreck: Last night Iggy Azalea made her return to recorded music with a "buzz track" for her "ratz" called "Azillion." Where to begin? The production sounds like a wintry mix of Madonna and Diplo's "Bitch I'm Madonna" and Azealia Banks's "212," the latter, especially egregious since Iggy declared the long-simmering Azalea/Azealia beef moot in light of her chart successes. If you're out of her league, why you biting? If she doesn't matter, why you shading her?

Worse than the production is Iggy's diction, which the Washington Post recently lauded for its "sophisticated understanding of how black rappers speak." Our resident AAVE expert's opening bars go:

"Headed for a zillion, coming thru a billion
Gotta keep it trill-ion, what is a million?
What the **** is a million?
Gotta stack bread on ride to the ceil-ion"

She pronounces all the "-illion" words the same way Roc-a-fella Records alumnus Amil would her nickname "Amillion," which is unfortunate because Iggy sounded like a down-under facsimile of the All Money Is Legal diva well before appropriating her rap name in song.

The beat is a knockoff, the concept is doubly derivative, but the true crime of "Azillion" is a line-to-line inability to make the lyric sheet pop.

Iggy's got a lot to prove after a disintegrated headlining tour and diminishing chart returns, and "Azillion" isn't helping. If she ever hopes to see abillion, it can't be like this.

Quotethe song?s info reads, leading one to believe it?s not an official single, but just a song to clear the decks on her 2015 and re-announce her presence with authority for the new year. The song does that, with massive house synths pairing with trap beats for one of Iggy?s hugest-sounding songs yet. Of course, there?s still not a ton going on here lyrically, as exemplified by the mind-numbing chorus: ?What?s a milli to a billion / Forget a billi keep it trill-ion / We looking? pretty in the build-on / Looking like a trillion, feeling like azillion?
