Azealia Banks

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...?

she just cannot come out of any of these beefs even looking witty let alone good

that's what happens when you are stone stupid and terrible

did she seriously call another female rapper 'pizza face'

is she from an 1990s oxy pads commercial

can we all just stop paying attention to this horrible child now

o well at least it alerted me to new shystie stuff, now and imminently

the fuck jesus get off twitter already
and yeah, glad to hear shystie has new songs

can't wait for her public embrace of Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, followed by her Christian hip-hop single

this is seriously one of the dumbest human beings alive

knuckle up, Inspiral Carpets, Yung Rapunxel has you in her sites

okay, that one's kinda funny

AB's become kind of the perfect heel. she should enlist the dudley boys for her next single.

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

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.

what is a "necessary villain shtick"? is that like the dudley boyz?

This woman needs to get some psychiatric help, then show up halfway through one of those dynamite SNL skits where all the workers are gathered, and the two team assholes are sure they're gonna get fired so they start dissing everyone - with Banks being the third asshole, basically, but just being so fucking mad that she fumes and huffs and puffs but can't actually get any words out

Pop music is not about having reasonable, even remotely reasonable, opinions, buzz-furious swarmers of ILM. It's about making exciting sounds, which Azealia Banks does very well. Plus, the Stone Roses are flabby old Caucasian fleshpots. Sting them, if sting you must.

These beefs scan as desperate cries for attention and they threaten to overshadow anything she might be doing right

threaten to

textbook borderline personality disorder imho

she might go off the internet because of you

i don't get the notion that this is going to kill her career or something

what is a "necessary villain shtick"? is that like the dudley boyz?

Pretty much, I mean if the Dudley boyz didn't win all the time nobody would have had to give a shit.

*shudders at the thought of an AB vs MM twitter beef*

i don't get the notion that this is going to kill her career or something

well no, being terrible is what's going to kill her career

if anything's going to kill her career it's that her only galvanizing song is the first one... she's definitely in the "any publicity is good publicity" stage of her career imo

True enough, she may be a trainwreck but people are most definitely watching.

so who's a bigger flameout... az or kreayshawn...

AZ is definitely making a bigger splash but no one actually thought Kreayshawn was going anywhere, did they? AFAICT no one has spent any time pretending or attempting to convince themselves that they like anything by her other than "Gucci Gucci", whereas ppl are still acting like AZ has the potential to put out good songs.
