Azealia Banks

yeah it is...popular...music....

a wide descriptor not including say charles-valentin alkan or mika vainio

azaelia banks has the look of an american who will always be more popular in europe, like scott walker or burt stanton

doesn't seem significantly different to me than a lot of popular, even top 40 music stylistically unless you want to quibble about whether certain females playfully rapping over modern dance beats are more of a pop style than others

212 is in the uk top 20 atm! A genuine bigger-than-kreayshawn pop hit

lol britishes

"212" is good?

Whoa great zing!

xps yep gets afternoon radio play, currently at #12 in the charts

appears not to be out in the us for a couple of weeks fwiw

Does she have more than 1 good song? I had no other choice but to un-like her on facebook lmao

hah i had no idea this had suddenly charted

americans need some reithian authority figures to get them onto ab instead creed or w/e

Does she have more than 1 good song?

Nope!

Whoa great zing!

i was just joshing around, jeez

it is crazy how there is virtually no such thing as measured praise for this song, though, like seemingly every person who likes it totally shits their pants about it

the stations have been boosting it pretty hard since whenever it dropped, dunno when the actual "release" was but it's been steadily rising last 6-7 weeks or so

In September 2011, the song was chosen as the 'Record of the Week' by Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1.[3]

haha dunno about reithian but i was wondering there if there's as strong a tastemaker impetus about us radio as there is here recently

t/s cultural vegetables vs cultural vegetables

o/t but

it would be crazier for someone to like it in a measured way i think

i mean i'm bang into it when it's on, it demands that you have to be, but then when it's over it's over and i don't ~identify~ with it after

though that may seem like it i wouldnt call that measured (not like ehh oh hey this is on, this is kinda good sort of tunes) just idk, limited

rambling ass post sorry

yeah p much, i think the imperative that enthusiasm for a pop song has to be precisely correlated to ~actual objective and nontransitory value~ is p gauche

that said i think 212 does have great value and will be appreciated for at least 350 years, by the right people

I love the the song. I think it's great. It's no big deal. I think a lot of songs are great. I'm never going to measure anything.

hipsters of the future! how exciting

some dude measures everything, and finds it all wanting

it had to be this thread that blows up on a Sunday afternoon

that's my whole posting style according to some people so sure (xpost)

well it's sunday evening here, the time when everyone gathers around the wireless to count down the hit parade

now that this is charting in the UK it is pretty funny to hear it several times a day with half the words edited out

i guess that le cont's getting eaten (up about how much effing hipsters are ripping him off)

lol the radio edit to this is hilarious

god is the radio edit actually an instrumental?

and it's the radio edit that convinces people to buy it and make it a hit?

people and charts are so baffling to me.

looks like those Runts gettin eaten

I still can't believe this many people are flipping over a song that sounds like the ass end of '07 bloghaus.

hahaha ziggins and ishts

Rev whenever someone makes a sniffy comparison like that about a song a like i always think something along the lines of "man, i should really check out the ass end of '07 bloghaus!"

and then i show up at the ass end of '07 bloghaus with a fruity cocktail and my nice shoes on and i'm like hey, where did everybody go

check out the ass on that bloghaus

yeah, maybe you should if you're into this garbage. ¯\(°_o)/¯
