“I heard this song for the first time when it came out - it must have been on a Pitchfork year-end list or something. My immediate thoughts, at the time: 1.) that girl has a filthy mouth. 2.) that's impressive, but let's see if she has anything to back it up. If you follow independent hip-hop, you know that she's been through three record labels in that time, fought fiercely to even get her album out in 2014, started a mess of Twitter drama with other hip-hop celebrities (including the other Azalea), and is hitting a number of top-10 lists here three years later. So here's what I like: the impossibly complex rhyme scheme. The fearlessness. The apples-to-apples superiority of the craftsmanship and performance in the three years since. The danger. The fact that it predicts trends, or was simply copied, and still sounds fresh today. The fact that she was 20 when this came out, and at 23, she still has an infinity of artistry and potential in front of her. Give the whole album a shot.”
