drake isn't about to sell azealia a top 40 single

If she was only good for one track then she'd be a non-factor and nobody would give this shit the time of day.
She has a fair number of good to great tunes.

i'd say that it's still possible that she hooks up w/ some big name for one major push at a billboard hit
i think more importantly, i doubt that she's cultivated the type of fanbase that he has
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 March 2013 15:59 (eleven years ago) link
last i heard she was asking and getting upper five figures for a 2013 live show; that kind of money is not last year's one hit wonder

true but he's pretty unique in that regard, and 212 had more reach than purple swag. also ilx denied the existence of his fanbase for the longest time, recall deej & surboards arguing about whether or not only ny media types like him. they're comparable, and it's not like it was at all obvious asap would have a hit

also i'm gonna go ahead and reiterate that the 1991 EP was pretty goodthis twitter shit is dumb (but cheap)promo at a stunning level of unawareness but i can't see it impacting popularity in any way, just pissing off stans for her (picked with her eyes closed apparently) targets and people over 30

try to imagine what twitter would've looked like 1987https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-alEhlHSzk

1991 the song is great
― flopson, Monday, 11 March 2013 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
"liquorice" is a great song
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 March 2013 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
the fake Beyonce tracklist going around last week had an A Banks feature, which was horrifying just to contemplate as a remote possibility
― some dude, Monday, 11 March 2013 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
"1991" is alright, the only other AZB song i have time for
(still undecided on this new one)
― r&b morcilla (lex pretend), Monday, 11 March 2013 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
it definitely seems like she's still pretty beloved by a certain types of basics out there, imo
― some dude, Monday, 11 March 2013 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
gays love her
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 March 2013 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
at this point I think she her main talent/ability to suck the charm out of every track she raps/sings over
― Darth Icky (DJP), Monday, 11 March 2013 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
lol @ basics

there WAS a time when this was true, then he toured for two years

you can ask noz about it, when he posted the first asap vid on fader it had under 10k views

I'm listening to the 1991 EP just to see if I'm being too harsh here and dear god the coda/spoken outro skit on "Van Vogue" is really making me wish someone would shoot her
― Darth Icky (DJP), Monday, 11 March 2013 16:45 (eleven years ago) link
pretty sure i can't ride with this new single in any case
― the 'dirty sprite' is implied (forksclovetofu), Monday, 11 March 2013 16:51 (eleven years ago) link
who is this person? i hear she is controversial. what's the best song she has so i can give her a shot?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 11 March 2013 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
all these recent tracks are so hookless. maybe it would help if she worked in the studio with producers more instead of (apparently) jacking a beat and then later asking if she can release it.

the weird thing abt the stone roses thing is that she said it was her ex-tour manager conspiring with the stone roses to soundcheck during her set, not possibly that....the stone roses are completely oblivious and just soundchecking because they are the stone roses and don't even know wtf she is

yahhh, I p much heard "212" at every gay/queer party all year

my gay friends in chicago fucked with like: azealia, rihanna and solange (and ty segall but i think we were a bit unique in that regard)

I liked the 1991 EP and Fantasea so I guess I'm part of the problem but w/e

Shystie song above is the best thing I've heard her on - "212"/Rapunxel/etc. are okay but her schtick is overwhelming over an entire song.

AZEALIA BANKS @AZEALIABANKS
Your worth as a musician is now determined by what you can acquire rather than what you can create.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 2 September 2013 01:22 (ten years ago) link
lol didn't she build her rep on jacking unauthorized tracks from producers?

"I did something with Disclosure but they were, like, really rude in an interview, so I canned it."
"I might leak it, though," Azealia told the interviewer from AU Review. "And to be honest, I've got better stuff on my record... It can be an f-side. A fuck-you side."

Seriously, we saw her at Glastonbury with fairly low expectations and she just tore it apart, it was fantastic. But she appears not to realise that the industry isn't going to just indulge her forever.
