Azealia Banks

oh god why is she still pulling this shit

http://www.tmz.com/2015/09/22/azealia-banks-flight-homophobic-slur-delta-video/

Azealia Banks went insane on a flight from New York to LAX Monday night, calling the flight attendant a "f***ing f***ot" ... and it's all on video.
A passenger sitting next to Banks tells TMZ, when the Delta flight landed just before 1:00 AM Tuesday, Azealia made a beeline for the front door. She had been sitting in seat 6A but a French couple in the 3rd row was blocking her exit as they pulled their luggage from the overhead bin.
The eyewitness says Azealia tried to squeeze by the couple when the French man put his hand out. Azealia, we're told, went nuts. The eyewitness says she spit in the man's face, punched him in the face and clawed at his shirt.
At that point we're told the flight attendant grabbed Azealia's bag and told her to calm down. She lost her balance, fell to the seat, stood up and then a tug-of-war over the luggage ensued. This is where the video begins.
Azealia demands to take her bag and leave, and eventually calls the flight attendant a "f***ing f***ot" -- a homophobic slur.
We're told the co-pilot came out and told Azealia the police were called. She then ran off the plane, dropping her cell phone.
Police caught up with Azealia at baggage claim and spoke with witnesses as well, but the French couple decided not to press charges because they were here on holiday and didn't want the hassle.
Azealia claims the French man actually hit her in the face. She adds, "I don't tolerate bitchassness and I don't tolerate men putting their hands on me."
Azealia has a history with the the word "f***ot" -- she uses it frequently on social media -- and earlier this year she explained why she gets a pass, in her mind.

whatever

Azealia has a history with the the word "f***ot" -- she uses it frequently on social media

bitchassness

“LGBT community (GGGG) are like the gay white KKK’s,” the rapper wrote in a since-deleted tweet screen grabbed by Billboard. “Get some pink hoods and unicorns and rally down rodeo drive.”

GGGG?

it's a reddit thing
https://www.reddit.com/r/gggg/

azealia doesnt identify as straight iirc

xp Dude no. She's commenting about how the LGBT community is dominated by gay (white) men - hence GGGG rather than LGBT. The tweet is about inter-queer community dynamics and power relations involve race and gender within it.

*involving

I was being facetious rev, click the link

https://www.reddit.com/r/gggg/comments/3inoqn/tattoo_twink/ ?

the thing is that even though white gay men dominating the LGBT movement are largely terrible, azealia banks never gives the slightest impression that she's bothered about the struggle of any QPOC other than herself

and i don't think any of us need her to be our truth-to-power teller

BWET is such a jam (listening to it rn)...can she be banned from twitter so she can record a follow-up?

wondered why she was trending, turned out it was because she bit a security guard's breast after claiming to be on the rihanna album

"Jeremy" is stuck in my head now, thanks Azealia Banks

She was trending again, I was thinking "has she released something new or did she do something stupid" and it was the arraignment hearing for the biting fiasco lex posted upthread

I assumed it was the Donald Trump thing.

what Donald- wait let me guess

*googles* ugh that was easy to guess

she was also tweeting about her new mixtape, although i'm guessing her regular fuckery gets more play on twitter than actual news w/ her nowadays

Congrats to Azealia Banks for having the same political goals as Ra's Al Ghul from batman

so i am actually listening to broke w/expensive taste right now and this is kinda awesome!

i kinda forgot about the album amid all her twitter controversies

it's an odd mix of dance/hip hop

i don't really know who this is supposed to be for, but it's good

i wonder how it would have been received if she wasn't always being such a loon on social media?

like it has a certain quality that's not a million miles away from the shamir album

I was surprised by how much I liked that album given how little I liked everything she released prior to it.

DJP, I'm surprised you weren't into "212" or the 1991 EP!

Everything from that era of her career is a million times better as an instrumental.

New track "The Big Big Beat" is like the second coming of Technotronic.

when is her mixtape coming out??

She's a perennial on the queer party circuit. I feel like "Heavy Metal & Reflective" is the song from BWET (other than "212") I hear out the most at this point.

fyi just got home from a gay club where they played "212"

I really need to never look at her Twitter again. She really is a major artist and yet so much of the shit she types is just so noxious. Now she responds to KKK members showing up at a Trump rally with a "theory" of white racism that's actually a rehash of the pseudoscientific form racism actually took in the 19th century ("We as animals have natural, intrinsic tendencies to mate and socialize with people of our own racial group" - these are her words). I suppose Ice Cube circa Death Certificate was on a similar wavelength, but he didn't have a Twitter page. In the face of an actual white supremacist movement actually going mainstream through the stupefying magnetism of an overgrown schoolyard bully I can understand why people are apt to throw up everything they got, but it's still distressing to hear yet more ignorant bullshit in response from a talent who you'd think would know better.

a talent who you'd think would know better

Genuine question: why would you think she'd know better? "She's young and black and a clever lyricist, therefore she can't possibly also be a stupid bigot"?

She should know better bc everyone should

She has spent her entire time on Twitter repeatedly showing that she does not know any better

new release here:

'the big beat' sounds p good

http://theslot.jezebel.com/this-sarah-palin-azealia-banks-feud-is-a-historic-momen-1769130480

definitely a normal thing to say from someone who definitely has her shit together! nothing to see here!

Ugh Palin getting the moral high ground for once is so gross

Not so fast...

"Azealia engages in a form of racism and hate that is celebrated by some in the perverted arm of pop culture, but is condemned by those who know it's tearing our country apart. Others may keep turning a blind eye to problems like Azealia's mouth; I choose to take a stand against it and the double standards that result in her actually being rewarded for her divisive tactics and aggressively inciting violence. ... Let's be honest here: if a white girl were to say what this black girl is saying, the screams for the entire white population's head would be louder than the nonsensical rap that Azealia spews all the way to the bank. The white girl would probably be locked up. ... I think this time I don't just sit back and swallow it, but put the fear of God in her by holding her accountable. As many of you have for years implored me to do, I'm finally going to sue."

"the perverted arm of pop culture"

The new "lamestream media?"

it's way snappier

not that it matters, but i am pretty sure palin didn't write that statement. have you seen the transcripts of her recent speaking engagements?

im w Banks here. Palin is a shitlord

azealia banks is also full of shit though

Also, i never said you should be raped. I used the term “run a train,” which is slang for group sex, NOT for “rape.” There are many distinctions between the two. As a woman, I would never trivialize something as lewd and criminal to provide myself any sort of comic relief because it simply… just isn’t funny.

celebrated by some in the perverted arm of pop culture, but is condemned by those who know it's tearing our country apart.
