The feud between Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea often seems ripe for parody, so it's only right that the two rappers, along with T.I., were sent up on SNL last night. With cast member Kate McKinnon playing the part of Iggy Iggz absurdly well (especially her ridiculous accent-swapping), Sasheer Zamata takes on Banks and the always-great Jay Pharaoh plays Tip.

Spoofing the apparent contradictions between Iggy's normal personality and the tough front she puts on while rapping, the sketch does a great job of parodying one of the most inexplicable cultural phenomenons in recent history. Host Chris Hemsworth also makes an appearance as Iggy's "raps mentor." A must-watch.
