The internet is taunting Iggy Azalea over this freestyle rap

‘Iggy Freestyle’ is fast becoming the Twitter meme of the year.

FEW PEOPLE HAVE enjoyed a more successful 2014 than rapper Iggy Azalea. This year, she became the only act apart from The Beatles to rank at numbers one and two on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.

Pretty impressive feat by all accounts.

Unfortunately for Azalea, however, a clip of the rapper being asked to freestyle has found a new lease of life on social media. The clip dates from 2013 and is taken from the nationally syndicated radio show called The Wake Up Show.

Host Sway asks Iggy Azalea to do a freestyle and Iggy’s reaction is a mixture of horror and apprehension.

The rapper then reels off this verse that doesn’t exactly rank among her finest.

Since the clip resurfaced, the internet has gone to town on it with many dissing Azalea’s rap skills and mocking her rap prowess.

In fact, it’s rapidly approaching meme status.

And there are literally hundreds more where that came from.

For her part, Iggy Azalea hasn’t spoken out on this freestyle malarky, but she has previously defended herself as a hip-hop artist.

Fair enough.

But because we can’t resist…
