''Ignorant Art'' is the debut mixtape by Australian rapper Iggy Azalea, who released it as a free digital download on 27 September 2011, and is widely recognized as launching her music career.

It also features guest appearances from YG, Problem, Joe Moses and Chevy Jones.
==Background and release==
''Ignorant Art'' is Iggy Azalea's debut music release and the project generally credited as Azalea's career breakthrough. The strength of the release contributed to ''XXL's'' decision to list Azalea amongst the magazine's 2012 Freshmen list, the magazine stating that Azalea is "the first female MC to grace the cover on the strength of her track “Pu$$y” and breakthrough mixtape ''Ignorant Art''". ''XXLs decision proved controversial, particularly with rapper Azealia Banks who started a public feud with Azalea. The mixtape is further credited for giving Azalea enough exposure to convince rapper T.I. to sign her to his Grand Hustle label.〔 Prior to the release of the mixtape, Azalea had shared several home videos on her YouTube channel as an underground rapper, including remixes of Gucci Mane's "Gucci Two Times," and Kendrick Lamar's "Look Out for Detox," as her "Pussy Two Times" and "Look Out for D.R.U.G.S." versions, respectively.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= IGGY AZALEA - LOOK OUT FOR D.R.U.G.S.

The MOBO Awards, who nominated Azalea for Best International Act in their 2013 award ceremony, stated that "''Ignorant Art'' was a superb introduction to the amazing talents of Iggy Azalea. It felt more like a mini-album and she delivered as she promised she would." MOBO called the mixtape an instant "cult classic", and MTV agreed, stating that Azalea "made waves" with the release.〔 On signing to Mercury Records in the UK in early 2013, the label's president stated that "''Ignorant Art'' catapulted her into the limelight in 2011," adding that Azalea is "incredibly exciting and forward-thinking" as well as "utterly unique."
''Ignorant Art'' was released as a free digital download on 27 September 2011. In December 2011, Azalea shared an acapella version of the project for DJs and remixers. Azalea also released accompanying visuals for three tracks of the mixtape, including "Pu$$y," which was first uploaded on her YouTube channel in the Summer of 2011.〔 "My World," directed by Alex/2tone, was released on November 2011, and featured a cameo appearance from character actor and former wrestler Tiny Lister, which earned her more attention due to its rising popularity online. "It's supposed to have like, all the ridiculousness of a big-budget '90s video, but then chopped and screwed," said Azalea, of the video. In January 2012, a 40's glam/surrealistic inspired-music video for "The Last Song," directed by Bell Soto, premiered online. Soto said the video "was very inspired on Surrealism and the old school process of Photography (red darkroom, contact sheets, 4×5 cameras). But we did not go vintage, we kept everything very polished and modern."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iggy Azalea - Music - Hunger TV )〕
