I did some quick Googling. I should be studying so I'll drop this here and you can all read it ;_;
http://pitchfork.com/news/45920-diplo-did-not-steal-the-beat-for-azealia-banks-track/
Well no surprises here that Diplo is a shifty character. Still no indications that they actually met though. When he produced Nicola Roberts' 'Beat Of My Drum' ('produced'=set it to Pon de Floor) she sent it to him in the US and he sent it back once it was done.
Plus if you actually look at what Munchi said, he claimed that Diplo helped Azealia select the beats for Fantasea. That might well be what Azealia is talking about when she says 'Diplo had NOTHING to do with my mixtape.'
Please tho gerls don't let my suppositions that Azealia might not be lying through her teeth get in the way of hating on her as per.
New Azealia Banks Video

Yeah. Azealia and Diplo have met on multiple occasions. Her first big debut was on a Major Lazer track and he's talked a few times about studio time with her back then a lot. I would take Munchi's word over Azealia/Diplo's everytime just based on their track record to be honest, though I'm 100% sure as well Diplo had nothing to do with the selection of her beats. The one thing Azealia can boast about is her taste in producers really. :S It's funny since Munchi is signed to Diplo's label as well... The statement Munchi gave here seems legit. He wanted to be involved in the creative process for a track he remixed and they denied it from him. Furthermore they waited until their remaster was done and contacted him a day before with $25,000 telling him to clear the track. Pretty disrespectful. I wouldn't want my name featured on a track where my creative input wasn't respected or involved for something I went as far as to remix/make. Glad he's stayed strong, hopefully he works with M.I.A. again instead. I doubt Azealia would ever have the class to issue a proper statement about what happened like Munchi.

Not sure how people will feel about this or anything.
Gaga was musical director for this year's MUGLER fashion show. Much like she debutted a remix of Government Hooker a few years ago, many believe she's previewed a remix which includes a remix of Ratchet (her collaboration with Azealia) and of course, Cake.
Esta Noche is also included at the end.

The intro instrumental is definitely.....different.

I'm happy Taylord is slaying as per.
I love the 90s feel of this video. lol, now if she would just stop beefing with folks and focus on honing her sound.
EDIT
I-I don't know how to feel about this.

Yes! Go Ke$ha! Go Ke$ha! The #navy don't have anything on the #animals. RAWR!
Not one of her best, I think.
Seems fair enough. Azealia was let go from XL, afterall, who have a reputation for being able to handle difficult artists.
LOLLLL ohh I didn't know that about XL's reputation... that's kinda scary >_<
Ohhh intriguing at least... I still want to hear this new version. She might as well release the it for free at this point if she plans to still release the video anyway.
I think it says a lot about how good Azealia's music is if ppl are still working with her even though she might well be a nightmare to deal with, tbh.
Hopefully she doesn't piss off too many people tho...

I just notice a lot of things that SOUND FAMILIAR and then I realise I TOO read them from PopJustice. *+*
I would LOVE to work there tho

Bye Ke$ha
Taking down PSY next
#DIAMONDS
Releasing in the UK on Monday. Rih about to slay the UK with #DIAMONDS #pooranyoneelse
Where are the lies?
I'm not hating! You know I think Azealia Banks is hella fresh. I love her style (barring that last video, though. Wack).
But she, of all people, should know there's a price to pay for popping off at the mouth too much. The road to success in this industry is paved with the bones of MCs who didn't know how to keep it cute and got the #clapback.
RIP Chingy
RIP Shawna
RIP Magnolia Shorty (errr, also literally, in this case)
RIP Mase
RIP Lil Zane (yep, taking it that far back)
RIP Charli Baltimore
RIP Rah Digga
RIP Remy Ma (STILL mad about this. I Stanned her HARD.)
RIP Foxy Brown
The list goes on. All MCs who could have popped off, would have popped off, and should have popped off, but didn't because of their own stupidity and/or prematurely inflated egos (well, Foxy Brown kinda made it, but she could have gone a lot farther if she wasn't such a fucking idiot). And we're not just talking about junior MCs with nothing to show but a mixtape and some arts college music videos; we're talking rappers on the come-up with ACTUAL charting songs and features, who STILL found themselves #Dismissed from the game because they got a little too big for their britches.
My concern with Azealia is that she's gone from beefing with other juniors (Iggy Azalea), to beefing with vets and production people who actually COULD block her come-up, and just being all-around sloppy.
And it's always over some stupid shit. Regardless of what the specific facts are in her beef with Munchi, the one fact remains that she should have come correct about Esta Noche and didn't. And Munchi is a DJ and producer with DJ and producer friends. Miss Banks is gonna fuck around and one day find that nobody wants to work with her.
I like Azealia and I think she could go far. But I'm afraid that if she keeps showing her ass it's eventually going to get the boot.
lol, that probably proves his point.
I agree that she needs to stop beefing with people and tighten up her act tbh.
I think we can all agree It would be a shame if the most exciting new artist on the scene got no work because she's too difficult to work with.
Everyone except the barbz, that is.
Tipsy was J-Kwon tho.
She could be a normal and likeable person with a temper.
RIHANNA - Diamonds: 22.512
But I thought people were TIRED of THE GOAT and her yearly DROPPINGS!!
Russian Roulette remains her worst lead ever and you will deal.

I was hoping it wouldnt get a high update... dat rolling effect is gonna be a bitch... #YouDaOne
Russian Roulette remains her worst lead ever and you will deal.
At least it doesn't have to follow up the ARTPOP hit of 2011 like YDO had to. #DIAMONDS should be fine.
Yes, that rolling update will slay the numbers #poordat
Its true. The ARTPOP Hit of 2011 "We Found Love" definitely cannibalized You Da One's chances. Not that I mind... that song was vile.
Also lets not forget What's My Name and Only Girl (in pop) co-existed and slayed at the same time, she could this time release an URBAN smash after Diamonds. What kind of REIGN?!
Diamonds is not releasing until a couple of weeks.
But I think it will slay there. She's the UK Queen
Your Body isn't out here until November!Diamonds is not releasing until a couple of weeks.
But I think it will slay there. She's the UK Queen
Ofc Rih will SLAY the UK

Katy Perry is a downgrade from the crocodile's ex-wife, though.
