Angel Haze

i think in most professions and even genres of music being a native new yorker is not that big a deal (like, nobody really gives a fuck where all the "Brooklyn" indie rock bands are originally from). but it's totally different with rappers, there's all the "birthplace of hip hop" stuff and a history of guys accusing each other of being from upstate/Jersey/etc. it's like that in EVERY major city, if two rappers are beefing one will accuse the other from being from the burbs or of not spending any time in the neighborhood they claim.

"if i'm feeling froggy / i jump 'em like they geronimo." "got that fire flow / my tonsils prolly fuckin crispy."

but there was no beef before that post? isn't that what sparked it off?

Best I could tell, AZB was just making a tweet about real vs. fake NYers. Angel Haze, chronic narcissist, assumes it was about her and comes back with some really awful things and two dud tracks. No beef before yesterday afaik.

why is it that when male MCs go after each other and release dis tracks, they are evaluated on the strength of their attacks, but when female MCs go after each other and release dis tracks, it's a disappointing shame?

or "dumb"

"chronic narcissist" ?????

tbf, I'm not a big proponent of male mc dis tracks either.

i think a lot of the weariness here is that pretty much any female rapper with any kind of national buzz in the last couple years has beefed with at least one or two others (or several, in AB's case)

brainfart...i meant to say "classic narcissist".

well it is true that AB is the female 50 Cent

both these chicks need editors

are there disses on this diss track?

Lol, so fraudulent. You know what happened between us months ago and if you want to pretend its all just twitter beef, fine.

They both need to squash this though before it becomes all anyone wants to ask them about.

gonna refer to online arguing as "bitter tweef" from now on

yeah, all the important topics usually discussed in their interviews will be lost (xp)

biter tweef

what happened months ago apparently involves a table at the spotted pig, so awesome.

xp The experiences AH talked about in Cleaning Out My Closet are kind of important imo

yeah the spotted pig ref cracked me up

if that "fake new yorkers" tweet was some kind of general diktat instead of aimed at AH it's even worse!

i have never been to the spotted pig but my wife went once. she actually sat right next to jay-z and started talking to him without knowing who he was! if somebody had filmed it and if, er, youtube had existed then she'd have been a viral sensation

bitter queef

there it is

We were dancing around it for an hour.

eww, that's what i stepped in?

Dancing around the spotted pig like heathens.

lemme just say if any of you faggot rappers come for me like girls come for azealia, there will be no diss tracks, just knuckles n shit

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Runnin' pretty, New York City girl
Twenty-five, thirty-five
Hello, baby, New York City girl

You grew up ridin' the subways, running with people
Up in Harlem, down on Broadway
You're no tramp, but you're no lady, talkin' that street talk
You're the heart and soul of New York City

And love, love is just a passing word
It's the thought that you had in a taxi cab that got left on the curb
When he dropped you off at East 83rd

Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]
You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now [You should know by now]
You're a native New Yorker

New York girl, ooh, ooh, ooh

Music plays, everyone's dancin' closer and closer
Makin' friends and findin' lovers
There you are lost in the shadows, searchin' for someone [Searchin' for
Someone]
To set you free from New York City

And, whoa, where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star, win the applause

Oh, oh, oh [Oh, oh, oh]
You're a native New Yorker
No one opens the door
For a native New Yorker

[Runnin' pretty, New York City girl]
Ooh... ooh... ooh...
Native, native, native New Yorker

Where did all those yesterdays go
When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show
You are the star

You're a native New Yorker
You should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker

You should know the score, you should know the score by now
You're a native New Yorker, oh, oh, oh
[Native, native, native new Yorker]
You're a native New Yorker

Whoa, oh, ho, ho, you're a native New Yorker
You should know the score
[Native, native, native new Yorker]
You're a native New Yorker

What you waitin' for, no one opens the door
[You're a native New Yorker]
For a native, for a native New Yorker

ilxors getting upset abt general regional pride in rap beef b/c its anti-immigrant is the funniest critique of a rapper since whoever that blogger was that said dipset anthem is 'fascist'

lol word

who got upset about that?

well, Tracer did kind of

the only person who mentioned immigrants directly was me, in response to something johnny said, not azealia

this is the exact thing deej complains about people doing to him every day

before this new angel diss track i had definite suspicions about it being a PR stunt but now i'm like "okaaaayyyyy it's really personal *backs away slowly*"

who says it can't be both!

rap is all about merging the personal with the public(ity stunt)

Yeah that's like Beef 101. Interest generated is proportional to how real it seems.

into fisting i guess

xp Well for one thing it misses the point of the track. Haze has been open about coming from Michigan and writing it when she'd only just moved to New York so it's knowingly outrageous - you arrive somewhere and you have so much self-belief that you feel like you own it. She's not trying to trick anybody.

putting it on the spectrum of anti-immigrant rhetoric is LOL thats all

people in america generally only care where you were born, not ancestry. if the latter mattered angel haze could pull rank as a native american!

would buy that shirt. alternately "keep central park east weird".

has no one here ever claimed their city or commented on fakers claiming their city?

personally i liked:
i mean c'mon that is some backwards type of attidude

in hip-hop, really?

has no one here ever claimed their city or commented on fakers claiming their city?

you mean like when dudes from Houston claim NYC?
