WHY IS IGGY AZALEA SO BRILLIANT?
Iggy Azaleaは最高だ。
なぜって、もちろん彼女のラップは最高にカッコいいし、 衣装のスタイルは全然流行に流されていない独自なスタイルだし、 あのプラチナブロンドにモデル並みの整った顔に、 ドスのきいた声がクール、だが一番最高なのは彼女のMVである。
以前IggyのFANCYを紹介して( 最近やっと日本の有線でもガンガン流れている)、 あの90sを代表するガールズムービーCluelessのオマー ジュが最高だ、と書いたが、その後のMV Black Widowがそれと同レベルに最高だったのでご紹介。
まず、Rita Oraがレストランでマネージャーと思しき男と話しているところ へ、ウェイトレス役でIggyが登場。 またしてもこの寂れたアメリカのレストランが90年代クサいのだ が、 ウェイトレス姿の不機嫌そうなIggyがなぜかキマっている。
今回このMVが最高なのは、曲名のBlack Widow(Marvelコミックに出てくる、 クールなロシア人女スパイ)から想像もつくが、 終始Iggyのクールな女、さが全面に出ているところ。
最後、女スパイになったクールなIggyはすべて夢で、 実際は厨房で作り直しを命じられたバーガーのレタスをひたすら無 心に包丁で切り刻むシーンも、気だるそうで最高である。
ちなみに、歌詞はこちら。
[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby
[Iggy Azalea:]
This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same
First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray
We went from nothing to something, liking to loving
It was us against the world and now we just fucking
It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you
Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between
Might, might be me believing what you say that you never mean
Like it'll last forever but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing
[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]
You used to be thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby
Black, black widow, baby
[Iggy Azalea:]
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doing whatever works
You've never met nobody
That'll do you how I do ya
That will bring you to your knees
Praise Jesus hallelujah
I'm-a make you beg for it, plead for it
Till you feel like you breathe for it
Till you do any and everything for it
I want you to fiend for it
Wake up and dream for it
Till it's got you gasping for air
And you lean for it
'Till they have a CAT scan and check on your mind
And it's nothing but me, on it (on it, on it, on it)
Now it's me-time believe that
If it's yours when you want it
I wouldn't promise I need that
Till I'm everywhere that you be at
I can't fall back go quick
Cause this here a fatal attraction so I take it all or I don't want shit
[Pre-Hook — Rita Ora:]
You used to be thirsty for me (Right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So baby now rest in peace (It's all over with now)
[Hook — Rita Ora:]
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me (Right)
And I'm gonna show ya (Show 'em what show 'em what)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby
Bl-bl-bla-black widow, baby
I'm gonna love ya
Until you hate me
And I'm gonna show ya
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me, honey
I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya
Gonna love ya, gonna love ya
Like a black widow, baby

ちょっと過激だが、その危険な香りもまたカッコいい。
まさに、女スパイ/女戦士 Black Widow/Iggy Azalea のようである。
ちなみにこんなダルそうにバイトをしているIggyが、ティーン時代やっていたのはホテルの清掃係やスーパーのレジ係らしいが、その中でも14歳の時にやっていたレジ係は最悪だったらしい。
“You have to stand up all day long,” she grieved. “When you’re a cashier, that’s hours and hours on end. You’re not allowed to sit down and they made me wear leather work shoes, which were really uncomfortable and had no fucking support.”
What’s worse, the efforts didn’t even outweigh rewards: “I was making like $7 an hour and in Australia everything was expensive. A sandwich was $7, so you’re like, ‘Shit! I just had to stand around for an hour, and work is worthless because I bought lunch. I hate this fucking job.’”
「一日中立ってなきゃいけないわけ、」とIggyは悲しそうな顔をした。「レジをやってる時は時間が延々と感じられた。座らせてもらえないし、革の仕事靴を履かされるんだけど、それが最悪に履き心地が悪かったし、サポートもなかったわ」
最悪なことには、頑張ってもバイト代以上のことはなかった:「一時間につき7ドルぐらいだったんだけど、オーストラリアではすべてが高かったの。サンドイッチが7ドルだったし、だから『最悪!1時間も経ってなきゃいけないし、働いても意味なかった、だってランチを買っちゃったから。こんなクソみたいな仕事大っきらいだった」
