Azealia Banks

ever since Gawker pointed out that Community fans were basically My Little Pony fans, I should have figured as much

that sentence makes a lot of sense to you, probably

anyone who watches simpsons episodes in syndication doesn't really like the simpsons imo

who's she

a third cousin of Marge's.

I don't think Whiney wants to make Whitney Cummings his wife

there was a famous Whitney that drowned recently, so

oh damn

awesome

I made that joke on twitter recently

damn that sucks for you

New track 1991 is the best thing she's done since 212.

luv that machinedrum

we had to wait 1779 years for it

she has thrown a hissyfit and deleted her twitter and said she doesn't want to be a rapper or something

jeez she can't do anything that's not going to force nicki comparisons, can she

haha ok, man see u

he career is a mess

seems more like a rocky start.

Her "career" is about 8 months old

is that why she has the maturity level of an 8-month-old baby?

i imagine her antics will strengthen her image to her fanbase

as long as she returns to rapping lulz, which should happen in a week or so

he career is a mess

well she signed to and resigned from XL in 2009 so she def seems to have some problems getting things off the ground w/o drama

as much as i kmt at her antics the XL thing just endears her massively to me

1991 EP is great, I want her album to be entirely house music with no concessions to anything else.

that's probably the best look possible for her yet still one i'm not even slightly interested in hearing

basically every song of hers has a nugget or two that could be refined into a great track, but her stuff just seems super all over the place right now, like she doesn't really know how she wants to sound. that in itself can be fruitful and it's also far from a death knell, but it's not helped by the hype pressure cooker/her switching management every two months/her hyping her music up to me much more than it is

I'm content with her remaining a one song wonder.

same. 212 was amazing but the rest has been kinda boring at best and completely execrable at worst (bambi)

I like 212

I really like the 1991 EP, but who in the world decided on the sequencing? Why would you put a track that ends with complete silence and then some "hidden" stuff at number two? "Van Vogue" absolutely kills the momentum. Baffling decision not to put that one at the end.

i was just listening to this. i feel like i shouldn't judge it hastily cuz "212" wasn't that immediate to me but it feels a bit slapdash. every time the title track starts it's a head-turner cuz i always think HNAG ON THAT'S MISSY but it sounds like a new missy demo or something.

nicki is waaaaaay off-base as a comparison

Yeah, I'm not sure I really feel those Nicki comparisons, but people seem to struggle when they try to compare female rappers. They used to always get somehow compared to Missy, not that's Nicki's job to be the default comparison.

I really love this EP though, its pretty infectious.

I keep seeing this thread title and thinking it's going to be about Azalia Snail.

Late for the show here but in that 212 video, the kind of facial expressions and stagey persona she puts puts on are no less "lol theater girl obviously" than the girl from Karmin. Azealia may have even more of a theater girl background from what I read.

"liquorice" video is really great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPaXn2XR-P8

really like this EP now, her flow is pretty tightly packed and dense so it takes a while for her songs to arrange themselves in my head but once you start hearing the words they make a lot more internal sense

That video doesn't match the song at all. They're both cool when separated.

yeah, good video

I love that the production is more or less Old Skool Hardcore.

idk that vid seems super awkward to me, doesnt at all present her natural appeal the way 212's did

not nearly as pronounced a balls up as nicki's 'massive attack' vid was but it's reminiscent all the same

bitches must be dreading a hit these days if they're gonna get driven out to wear outfits in the desert every time

SOoo, the new song is just the one which was around last year. "Riddim" is Lone's Pineapple Crush if anyone doesn't know.

Ah, I see there's a whole EP. 1991 sounds OK.

Over an Ikonika this time. Shystie kinda runs rings round Azealia here.

that is amazing

I should admit to myself that I just don't like AB and stop trying

Shystie is kind of wau on this tho
