lol the "1991" video is just an extended advert for her new lipstick
she does look great in it though, great song

My best friend directed that video. He said she wanted a 90s vibe a la "Vogue" but he needed more reference material. So I sent him links to New Order "Round and Round", Cathy Dennis "Touch Me", Stevie V "Dirty Cash", D-Mob etc.

My girlfriend's a big fan and played me some of the Fantasea mixtape yesterday...woahhhh, one of the tracks samples Claudja Barry's 'Love for the Sake of Love'. Which was rad as it meant I got to play her DJ Harvey's Sarcastic Disco mix in return.

Ah, right, that makes more sense. Fun to imagine Azaelia being into Harvey tho.

funny that this board is still pretending she's not a "thing" right now.

Is Fantasea worth listening to? I haven't got much further than putting it on, hearing the Prodigy and thinking "nah, can't be arsed right now".
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 10:45 (eleven years ago) link
not especially imo
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 11 September 2012 10:47 (eleven years ago) link
fantasea is a mixed bag. there's nothing particularly exciting on there that you haven't heard from banks before and there's nothing as polished as the 1991 EP.
with the exception of esta noche, the aforementioned montell jordan flip, which i love:

and maybe 'fierce' but probably not.

the montell jordan flip comes via munchi, whose original 'esta noche' she is basically just rapping over

lol @ this, makes a lot of sense tbh

aw I was hoping this would continue the trend of ppl reviving this thread to say "I can't believe no one's talking about Azealia Banks here"

The press was full of smug "has Samantha Cameron listened to the lyrics?" pieces today. I doubt she's even listened to the song.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 21:24 (eleven years ago) link
I know, it's really annoying me that even the Guardian etc is covering this, it's so obviously a "HEY DID YOU KNOW Dave has a fucking bike?" type story.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 18 September 2012 21:28 (eleven years ago) link
Before anyone feels the need to point it out, I know she once hung out with Massive Attack and Tricky in Bristol.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 21:31 (eleven years ago) link
even if she does like azealia she's still married to david cameron which fairly nullifies any suggestion that she has good taste in anything.

crikey. but the mixtape was free so i dont quite get his beef there. although yeah hes every right to be pissed at the way the single has been handled. mind you.. 25 grand he's been offered. 25 grand, name on the sleeve and the artwork and the itunes etc, plus all that exposure. shit i might take that.

that's the thing, making an official single off a mixtape track kind of defeats the point of a mixtape (at least in the sense of a rap mixtape where the beats/samples aren't cleared).

A lotta ONTD xposts up in this piece lately...
― Cousin Slappy, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link
i was initially under the impression it was anything but this... like every almost (every?) track was appropriated from within the fairly close rbma + nyc bass scenes - like nick hook / lunice / machine drum / munchi have all hung out with each other - i'd assumed one of them was doing most of the arranging on the album and had requested use of the tracks from the others, i guess not?
...what's ONTD
― fauxmarc, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 22:04 (eleven years ago) link
i thought it was interesting and didn't want to discuss on twitter.

Meh. Kind of weird to see Azealia on the receiving end of drama over nothing tho.
― Cap'n Hug-a-Thug (The Reverend), Tuesday, 25 September 2012 23:42 (eleven years ago) link
dude's throwing a tantrum bcz she illegally rapped over his illegal re-edit of Montell Jordan and offered him money for it, is that's what's happening?
― ┐(´ー`)┌ (sic), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:14 (eleven years ago) link
illegal editing?
― ogmor, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:19 (eleven years ago) link
it's gonna be the next proper single that's teh main beef

― piscesx, Wednesday, 26 September 2012 00:32 (eleven years ago) link
the main beef is that they announced it as real single before asking him or offering him money
but fuxache it's an edit, if her ppl have cleared the sample (!) then 25k and an artist credit is probably more than he'd get on a producer royalty after paying Jordan
― ┐(´ー`)┌ (sic), Wednesday, 26 September 2012 01:33 (eleven years ago) link
Of course, the Montell song is, in turn, a sample:
