Azealia Banks

I have sex with men too – what the fuck?

if this is a real quote it's possibly the hands-down stupidest thing i've ever heard anyone say about homophobia

Here's the whole interview, it's pretty incoherent: http://themusic.com.au/news/all/2013/02/18/azealia-banks-attacks-gay-rights-organisations/

yikes.

“Fuck being a faggot, fuck being a nigger. Fuck being whatever,” she raged. “There are such bigger problems… and then you've got organisations like GLAAD [Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation], which are fucking complete bullshit.

“I mean let's look at it, it's gay and lesbian alliance against defamation, or whatever…. that's what it stands for, right? I mean would you agree that homosexuals, and the homosexual community, have bigger problems than the word faggot, you know what I mean?"

um, living in a state where glaad and a bunch of similar organizations conducted a hugely expensive, exhaustive, and SUCCESSFUL effort to block a minnesota constitutional amendment that would have barred gay marriage forever, basically fuck you azaelia

At a young age she became interested in musical theater, acting and singing. Aged ten, she began performing in off-Broadway musicals with the Tada! Youth Theater in Lower Manhattan. She had lead roles in three productions (Rabbit Sense, Sleepover, and Heroes) in addition to performing as a soloist. Banks was trained in the performing arts at LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in Manhattan. At the age of sixteen, Banks starred in a production of the comedy-noir musical City of Angels, where she was found by an agent and sent on auditions for TBS, Nickelodeon, and Law & Order, all without success.[9] It was at this point that Banks decided to quit acting, citing the large amount of competition and overall sense of unfulfillment as reasons for leaving.[10] Because of this, Banks began writing rap and R&B songs as a creative outlet. She never finished high school, instead choosing to follow her dream of becoming a recording artist.

stay in school, kids

Does Tibet's high altitude have anything to do with why the culture is so spiritual? This is a serious question, i need to know.

YUNG RAPUNXEL ‏@AZEALIABANKS
I'm trying to google it but I don't think I'm typing in the right search query

YUNG RAPUNXEL ‏@AZEALIABANKS
Like because they're closer to the stars or something?....

we are all digging a hole, but some of us are closer to the stars

I would watch a science program hosted by Jose Canseco and Azealia Banks

i fully endorse musicians to getting sucked into new age spiritual quests, go explore ley lines and psychogeology and all that, maybe it will take her mind off being such a dumb nasty bigot

someone should tell her about 432 hertz

is that the "brown sound"?

google it. I'm not gonna link any crazypants stuff here. you'll thank me.

i really do want someone to tweet the israel thing to her but i don't have the heart/guts

looking forward to fourfour's great defense of her again

at this point the only defense I could understand is "I need someone to laugh at"

this is the type of thing that, when I'm reaaaaaaally stoned, enters my mind for only the smallest moment before I come to realize that a) it is a completely ridiculous thing to think b) it would be insane of me not to filter out and to actually say outloud

lmaooooo

maybe there's a star out there with an incredibly long coherence length, emitting at a ridiculously large wavelength. The dalai lama sits at the peak of this emission, while others are at the zero point. maybe we all possess within us spiritual energy bands near the energy of this star's emission. we are at thermal equilibrium, while the lama is in a non-equilibrium state. maybe this is stupid.

we are all digging a hole, but some of us are closer to the stars

genuine lol at this

Lex has been on fire in this thread.

Ms. Banks, a grade-A Internet troll, was doing something almost every rapper of note has done: take someone else’s beat and rap over it. Baauer, for whatever reason, took umbrage at that, leading to a Twitter war of words. “You don’t belong in hip-hop,” she wrote. “You don’t even know what a” — and here she added a colorful expletive — “Harlem Shake even is.”

After squabbling with Baauer she posted a video for her version of the song — one of her best songs, it should be said — and released what purported to be an e-mail of Baauer’s in which he said he liked her version.

Ms. Banks, a major-label signee more beloved of fashionistas than of hip-hop fans, has, at best, a tenuous relationship to hip-hop’s center.

She is, at a minimum, from Harlem, though that doesn’t mean what it used to, either. But her beef with Baauer played out as one interloper shaming another: hip-hop’s bold future.

I have had a decades-long feud with Caramanica's writing/point of view so it doesn't really surprise me that even his attempts to ridicule both of these eminently mockable ppl would rub me in entirely the wrong way

She is, at a minimum, from Harlem, though that doesn’t mean what it used to, either.

sorry people of harlem, you don't mean anything anymore :(

dont think he meant that...?
