Every Time You Play “Classic Man” Iggy Azalea Makes Money
Jidenna’s track sample’s “Fancy.”
Iggy Azalea recently confirmed via Twitter that Jidenna's "Classic Man" samples her huge 2014 hit "Fancy." The rapper took the opportunity to offer several mini-lessons about rap, explaining to one fan that she gets a percentage of the "Classic Man" profits due to the "Fancy" connection and teaching another admirer about the practice of clearing samples.
Jidenna samples "Fancy," which in turn sounded like a variation on a DJ Mustard track. Meanwhile, Mustard has been accused of borrowing his style from Bay Area hip-hop, and he often bases his melodies on interpolations of '90s club hits: round and round it goes.
In other "Classic Man" news, the video for the Kendrick Lamar remix dropped today.
