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

Like because they're closer to the stars or something?....

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.

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...?

twitter beef update over the weekend: stone roses, rita ora

she's doing this deliberately now, right?

Has twitter ever killed a musician's career yet? She appears to be the first legit test case.

in literally any other context i would be the first to applaud anyone wishing excrement and death on the stone roses, and rita ora pretty much IS rihanna's understudy, but it's sort of ludicrous at this point

does AB have any actual fans left? Like, do the tumblr girls who blatted wildly over her first few videos still care? do they still tweet about her being a 'bad bitch' or whatever?

i expect the likes of pitchfork etc to absolutely trash broke with expensive taste when (or perhaps if) it comes out

p4k as barometer of an artist's stock/buzz rather than their musical output, that rings true

i assume she has fans left, she's still considered "credible" - look at the fuss people made over her strokes cover, and that was a bloody strokes cover. anyway, "yung rapunxel" the song is here

http://soundcloud.com/azealia-banks/yung-rapunxel-prod-by-lil

Wait, so that is actually the cover? I thought you were joking.

what in the hell is this yung rapunxel song

If the music is undeniable pitchfork et al will spin it into a necessary villain shtick.
