The video is a mess, but it's fun. If you're going to get tacky then by god go in on that tackiness. Don't hold back.

This doesn't make any sense. It's ok to ostracize the bandwagoners but to target the reason why people would truly like her is a bitch excuse. Azealia CAN rap and she's a good performer. Liking someone because of their novelty act is being basic.

Alright....point taken.

Spoiler

She's still not for me...that video is bad on an incredibly broad level....no one with any taste would release it.

Yeah figured I may as well go all in on this craziness.

Liking Azealia is so basic anyway tbh

Not here for this drive-by shade

The vide is a bit...messy though. The songs still slays all of your hip-hop faves. That's for sure.

 

[RubyFaith]

The video is shit tier and I'm side eyeing the fuck out of Azelia's video director who probably used Windows Live Movie Maker but this is a flaw due to Azelia's nonexistent budget. She's still a "nobody" waiting to get that big hit. Don't know what kind of acid they were tripping on coming up with Atlantis though.

 

[Artemisia]

ok but azealia still has the 212 video, the Liquoirce video, and the 1991 video which are all amazing.

ATRL seething. Only The Lord.

You are being a bit generous. Watched a few others and they are alright (212 was good)....nothing special though.

Certainly not good enough to offset this disaster.

Everything about Azealia feels artificial. She's about as manufactured as Lana and yet she tries way too hard to portray herself as being real or above the mainstream pop-scene, when deep down she wants nothing more than to be the next Minaj or the next Gaga. Azealia is a lot like Minaj from a marketing standpoint, basically a clone. Minaj was after the Gaga market from the start, but initially used a more urban edge. She promoted herself as a bisexual who leaned mostly towards women, though that doesn't seem to be the case, and many of her lyrics contained cross-gender explicitness such as, "If I had a dick, I would pull it out and piss on 'em." Think about Azealia, aren't her lyrics drawn from the same blueprint. Also the Atlantis video isn't the first time we've seen copycat imagery from Banks.

 

[RubyFaith]

Ain't like the video is going to thoroughly destroy her. It'll just add more fuckery onto her plate along with her ratchet behavior.

The song is decent and she's still spitting rhymes effortlessly.

People who pretend that mainstream music is somehow bad or shallow.....100% of the time its just because they are too terrible to ever make it in the mainstream music market and are just sore losers. They are bad, their music is bad, and their attitudes are bad.

When u a nobody momentum is everything....and she is a nobody and now has no momentum.

Meaning: It's reasonable to dislike her because she's trying to be the next "Nicki Minaj" who was the next "Lil Kim" who was the person inspired by cotton candy wigs.

I like her because she has skills. Get it?

 

[HiResDes]

I don't like Minaj much either.

 

[Wafflecakes]

That's my point.

I know....was just emphasizing it hun.

Where is the lie?

The Azealia stans hate Nicki, yet Azealia is basically a wannabe Nicki with less talent, money, fame, impact, and longevity.

 

[Artemisia]

ATRL seething. Only The Lord.

 

[Majmun]

Azealia is also bisexual btw.

Someone is always copying someone somehow in the female rapping business. It's ridiculous. Both Azealia and Nicki have different styles and flows. I don't see any copying..

 

[RubyFaith]

No one can be a wannabe Nicki Minaj because Nicki is a wannabe and everyone is trying to be what Nicki is copping since it's working.

TL;DR
Originality doesn't exist anymore

Truth.

She certainly isn't copying Nicki's success and sales.

Complete original....good for her.

[Majmun]

Truth.

She still hasn't released her debut album. We have only seen an EP and a Mixtape.

I'm sure she'll earn her hard deserved fame when her debut is released.

I just hope she doesn't turn out like Nicki: losing identity and talent

 

[Trigger]

Has Azealia even released a full CD yet? I only have that mixtape. I feel like we're writing off a career that hasn't even started yet.

EDIT- lol, didn't see Second's post.

If she achieves success I will eat crow.

I am skeptical though. I don't think the market for female rappers is very large at all.

 

[RubyFaith]

My cries for female rappers. Their careers are short lived unless they do something smart like Queen Latifah. Nicki can stay queen of a empty castle for all she cares.

DAMN

EXPOSE Raticate!

The 1991 EP is immaculate so I can't really hate Azaelia. I hope her album keeps the Crystal Waters influence.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Meh maybe.

I am not all that much into rap at all. I mildly enjoy a couple of Nicki's tracks.

Still. I think her profile right now is high enough that she could leverage Idol to extend her career a bit longer than most. We will have to see.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Not going to dwell on Bread for long, but she is currently the most beautiful gerl in the pop game. Her styling has been flawless this whole year.

All she needed was that fabulous wig and some mascara, it seems.

Azealia will save us from a Garbaj ruled world. I'm ready for Broke With Expensive Taste.

Female rappers do seem to have a much shorter career span. Nicki getting punched out the game is more of inevitability than shade.

Royalan is going in hard with this Taylor shade

Keep it up

At least we can agree on something

Azealia couldn't save Este Noche, how is she supposed to save the world?

 

[Supermanisdead]

Ew, I see Azealia Blanks is still shitting out 'music'

 

[Wafflecakes]

You know whats funny. I assumed Azealia was some nickname for another artist (aka Xtincta) for the longest time. Just never felt the need to ask who everyone was referring to lol.

There's still no need to know her. Basic as basic gets.

I have the decency to wait for Louis and Zayn to grow some chest hair at least.

Esta Noche is one song from a mixtape that the general public does not know about. I'm sure Interscope will manage her album much better. Savor Nicki's current rapper reign because she's about to be dethroneD.

Is Garbaj in a throne to begin with.

 

[Dr. Malik]

People are still trying to make Azealia happen? Ch.... even Gaga dropped her
