I do believe Gaga took some of Azealia's ideas and called them her own. Look at this video. Even though Azealia is known for her beefs with others I believe her. She's an incredible talent.
You are correct gaga and others did take some of her stuff I have zero respect for Beyoncé as well picking nicki over azealia for remix because we all know that wasnt the first choice
I agree, when she came here to the UK on her tour all I thought of when I was looking at the stage sets and everything, was "this looks like something Azealia Banks would do."
As ideias das Bolas vem muito antes dela conhecer Azealia Banks , vem desde de TFM. Então acho que não é ela quem rouba ideias. Apesar de Azealia estar inspirando em muitas outras e vejo isso como algo positivo.
This song changed my life!!!! After years of being in an abusive relationship with someone who clearly didn't give a fuck about me. Azealia and This song WOKE ME UP! I had been chasing time! Wasting time on someone who wasn't worth it. It took this song to get me out.
***** your talking about prejudices not racism. racism is a system of dehumanizing and hatred towards other ethnic groups as a way to keep them down and out of power.
***** racism was a system to keep certain ethnic peoples out of power and keep then down nd used as stocks or the upper class. prejudice is when I don't like u cuz ur different but its not the same as racism cuz racism is a tool used to dehumanize certain ethnic groups and they use force and fear tactics to break their spirits.
I'm so confused, why does her music have so many dislikes? I get she was a bad mouth in public light, but her music is something else entirely. Such a unique sound and pushes what she does?!
I think it's more because of what people enjoy now; no offense to the current artists, but they all sound like sellouts who make crappy music to me. I'm happy they're doing well, but I don't like how hip-hop and rap sound now (most of it, anyway). There are artists who will never gain spotlight in the underground who can run circles around these young-come-up artists lyrically, but popular songs from those genres rarely hold substance like they had the potential to before.
@@stevejhkhfda she is insanely talented. way ahead of her time while sounding like a throwback. she should be immensely more popular than she is and it's a shame that she is not. people will look back on her music and regret not giving a chance when they had it right in front of them
@@joesmithnyc unfortunately I think they did give the music a chance, the problem was her attitude. She fought with everyone and in the end I think they gave up.
Azaelia really gives dope 90s nostalgia with a futuristic aesthetic. Familiar but so ahead of her time. I hope she really channels more into her talent. She is criminally underrated.
Her thinking she is the best rapper in world doesn't make her a horrible person. It doesn't even make her a slighty bad person. It's her opinion. And as far as her being racist is concerned, do you have proof to back up that statement?
+Mat Ale she's not a horrible person, she's just bold enough to make people seriously uncomfortable and not everyone is used to that. she doesn't always say things in the best way but she's right like 99% of the time tbh. you know she's dating a white dude, right?
@@lune5289 I am talking about her as a person not her talent. She's goddamn talented but extremely problematic and I would never support someone like that. It's sad because she could've been at the top of the world. She's undeniably talented.
Irene I understand your sentiments. , the unrecognized artistic genius like Van Gogh ! However, lets hope you , Azealia & the other admirers experience an Awakening in Our Lives 🙏💯🎼🏆
@@marcosantos3381 You dont have to care about her. If you dont like her why do you rely on her opinion? Racism is not ok for sure but i didnt see anything racist from her.
Azealia is a true rap artist who can rap, rhyme, sing, and produce. Iggy is a production and really doesn't have as much talent as AB. Simple fact. No billboard needed.
Azealia Banks is exactly what music needs right now. I mean for God sakes we've been force fed Nicki Minaj trash for years now. The highlight of her career has been Anaconda and even that didn't go no.1 on Billboard Hot 100. Now she released ONLY and that mess is HORRIBLE. IGGY was better in her mixtape days, but at least she got a no.1 her first try. Azealia Banks will get her just desserts, but thank God she is finally here. I'm tired of Nicki Minaj and Iggy's trash music.
Bed Of Lies people only focus on Nicki's Playful songs not her meaningful your lame as hell cause Nicki is the most successful and seasoned female rapper . in it's only been 5 years her metaphors and punchlines are crazy . I barley be hearing what AZ be saying her but song luxury is good but other than what wtf is she talking about ??
her music is no diff than nickis tho she does the #POP #HipHop #Alternative #Electronic thing too which nicki already did. you aint finna act like nicki cant spit, Nicki is pro at this shit. and has proven that.. and still proven that now they gotta prove it . just be happy theyre are more than 1 female mc doing something at one time. and you dont have to throw shade at someone to big up your fav you look corny,
She's gonna be like nirvana. Popular when they were around but only in some type of group of ppl. Then when shes gone ppl are gonna be reppin her without even knowing one damn song or who she was. Whak. I love her music so much
youre just the best! Male artists can do and say whatever they want and dont get cancelled (chris brown for example). But a insanely talented musician like Azelia Banks gets ignored by mainstream just cause of her loud mouth.... KEEP ON MAKING MUSIC AZELIA
PREACH, it's not our problem if she is good, bad, problematic or unproblematic. her music is genius, deserves more recognition and that's not up for debate. her life and her opinions has nothing to do with us.
It only has loads of dislikes because of her feuds and controversies, if she wasn't so hateful and kept all her opinions to herself, it would have WAY more likes than dislikes
I just love how blaire white is the devil,but you love you some azealia... I love her too, but it really seems like you pick and choose your problematic faves 😳 like okay hun where is the outrage for azealia, but you can’t even acknowledge when Blaire is right. It’s just weird and inconsistent.
@@sweetpotatopie9832 I love Miss Banks' music and respect and agree with her for speaking her opinions openly in a world where black women are constantly objectified and mistreated, she makes a lot of good points in her arguments. But, she messed up when she started going after random artists and picking fights on twitter that ultimately had no meaning or purpose behind them. If she had just focused less on beefing with 14 year olds (she literally lost an argument to a 14 year old) and more on her music and spreading her message then people wouldn't bash on her so much. I truly do believe she deserves recognition because it is criminal how underrated she is, but she got famous for the wrong thing. She's also a bit of a hypocrite for attacking lizzo when she believes in bringing black women up by instead resorting to calling her fat.
My fucking God. She performs in 3 different styles in one song and nails every one. This sounds like a master collaboration but it's a solo masterpiece. My attitude is bitchy, but you already knew dat. Such fire.
Blu Waffle pills n potions???? Bed of Lies???? And its hilarious that you even tried that because banks makes TONS of music about getting fucked/getting oral so nice try kid.
The sad thing about Azealia Banks is that she can actually sing and rap but she'll never be successful because she burns way too much bridges and makes the public dislike her. Talent is only half of the requirements for fame, Ms. Banks. The half that matters the most is charisma.
Lmao, she does clearly. I mean I'm sure she'd like to pay for her expensive lifestyle and weave and she wants a career. There's a difference between not kissing ass and sabatoging yourself and burning bridges you didn't even have.
+Glisean Good music is good music isn't it, the fuck does it matter if you're not a friend of (Pharrell). The public shouldn't focus on nothing but the music. If you really love music! (I would buy Hitlers music if it was fire) just saying!!!
Hey Yo Azealia is a queen of herself! Just because Missy wore a trash bag as an outfit and Kim had one boob out doesn’t mean that they invented that shit! I swear yall make everything about Kim when it comes to other female rappers!
Creative, classy and powerful! Definitely the best female rapper around, and it's not about the flow or the image, it's just about the artistry and the aura sorrounding her! She's great!
I hate how underrated she is. Her beats are always top notch, and she will always be reminiscent (to me) as a female rap holy trinity rolled into one. Hot beats like Missy, rapid delivery like Da Brat & spontaneous sex appeal like Foxy.
How come anytime Azealia releases a MASTERCLASS project, fans of other female artists write comments of how her attitude ruined her chances of being successful? Its like they see her talent and her vision and they are trying to convince themselves it isn't real. LMAO.
Btw, I love theres a variety in the Female rap mainstream now, like....Even tho Azealia is the best, theres something for everybody..even the basics (direct disrespect to Iggy) & the people who are on team Nicki, which Im not hatin on Nicki, shes doing her thing & has been doin it for a while! I just prefer AB
Randolph Lyons lol don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying she makes good music, im just saying shes on top career wise, but if there was any justice Azealia would be more successful in the industry. pills & potions was pretty coo tho
Randolph Lyons nicki gets trash talked because she either A. Makes a lot of sexual music B. Talks about some of the same things a lot or C. Switched to pop/too much pop influence for a rapper. How is azealia any different? She does ALL of that especially the first one. The only reason Nicki gets shit on is because she's an extremely popular woman and people love to root for the underdogs (Iggy, angel haze, azealia). The same shit happened when Kim was poppin and even before that with queen latifa and then way later with like Eve. Nicki makes serious music with a message that can deeply impact her fans OR she can make fun silly music to just him or dance to and there's nothing wrong with that so fuck right off. -a straight 20 year old male
guitarheroziplock LOL first off it doesn't matter if you're straight or gay. That doesn't give you any particular advantage. Second off Nicki Minaj WAS good, but she was ONLY a trend. Nicki music has no substance! She got on gets on all these interviews and claims to be a female MC, but she does not rap enough to call herself that. And when she decides to she refers to these "bitches" being her "sons" and her verses are tired, shes tired, and her brand is greater that her music.
Randolph Lyons apparently sexual orientation does matter seeing as "Nicki only makes music for high school bottoms"? She started from rap, made a hip hop album, made ONE pop/dance album (re released it with more hip hop/rap songs), and now she's making another rap/hip hop album. I fail to see how a single venture (that she dominated) into another format invalidates her catalogue? Nicki has done over a hundred guest features and raps on basically every single one. Even outrapping established male rappers, so I don't know where that claim of her not rapping enough came from. Don't let her party songs like anaconda, super bass, starships, etc. Make you think that she doesn't pour her heart out on her music. Its unfortunate she doesn't release those personal songs as singles but ignoring their existence is foolish. Her brand is a monster but so is she, and I can respect that.
I never listened to her music because all ive ever heard are her attacks of others. It was my loss. Her music is amazing. She needs to stop spewing venom, and let her music speak for her. She is HUGELY talented.
***** Lol, yas and we literally barley know what we want with our life. This is an accurate representation of how our confuscious thoughts tend to work
That makes perfect sense, her, Kendrick Lamar, Remy Ma, Lauren Hill, Biggie and Tu Pac, Naomi Campbell, Marilyn Monroe, Left Eye, and of course Kanye lol etc. we do rock!!!!
I really hope her career really takes off with this album, but at the same time, she is one of those artists that you want to keep to yourself and not be ruined by the general public.
He kind of ruined her career by herself, she shouldn't have started all that beef with other artists! She's and amazing rapper but she just screwed up...
Ere Lent I actually have so respect for her for speaking her mind. She ranted about cultural appropriation before it became a trend. Although she takes shit too far sometimes, but it seems to come from a place of passion and anger. I think she needs to sort that out.
Faiz Fenty I find some of what she says really smart as well and I appreciate her speaking her mind too, but if you look deeper into everything she says, sometimes she is SOO wrong...I think the way she expresses herself doesn't really help the cause she's trying to remedy...she's more known about her attitude than her music...even if it does come from a place of passion, she's the type who's not easy to have a civilized discussion with, sometimes her passion gets in the way of her better judgement...she always has something to say about everything and after a while she just comes across as bitter....I actually think she's a better artist than the mainstream ones she often criticizes, but its hard for me to separate the person from their music so I can't enjoy her songs as much as I would otherwise, I wish I could...
Azealia Banks is SO far ahead of these mainstream artists. First off, she produced this album herself because she cares very much about her fanbase and Interscope weren't letting her do as she pleased. She took it into her own hands and created such a phenomenal album, a feat that these mainstream artists could not do independently. Secondly, her album is so diverse and each song has a deep meaning. The only reason why some people have problems with her rapping is because you actually have to study her lyrics and analyze her flow and every rhyme, unlike some artists (Iggy, to be specific) who are so generic in their raps. People would rather listen to basic rap music with someone else singing the chorus because they don't want to go through the trouble of actually analyzing the lyrics when rap, in my opinion, supposed to be studied. They just want something catchy and easy to sing/rap to. Thirdly, Azealia's attitude "is bitchy, but you already knew that". She's a strong, independent artist who left her label because they were preventing her from do what she wanted to do with her OWN album. She doesn't give two shits about anyone who comes for her because she will shut them down and move on with her life. She's unique for her attitude because she only has her fans and herself to hold her down. When Snoop Dogg came for Iggy, people were all over that. When T.I.'s below-mediocre ass came for Azealia, nobody really heard about it. Her fans, including myself, will hold her down and commend her for her attitude because she has to be strong as an independent artist. Lastly, for all of those who are just finding out about Azealia, please look into Broke With Expensive Taste because I guarantee you that it will grab your attention if you liked "Chasing Time". If you're here to talk shit about Azealia, find your log out button and leave RU-vid because you can't come for Azealia when she's doing her thing independently and you favor a mainstream artist who has everything handed to them, including lyrics *cough*. And, please, DO NOT compare Azealia to Nicki Minaj or Iggy Azalea because they are not on the same plane as Azealia Banks; when you're mainstream because you make basic raps for basic people, you cannot be compared to someone with deep lyrics, perfect rhyme patterns and alliteration, and a unique rap flow. Yes, I referred to Iggy earlier, but that was to show the difference between mainstream rap and actual rap. Azealia is, by far, the ONLY artist (notice how I said "only artist", not "only female artist" because Azealia is better than most of the male artists who only rap about sex, drugs, money, and what they got or didn't have before) to give me an album where I can have it on repeat for days. If I need a song with a deep meaning, I listen to "Soda" or "Idle Delilah". If I need a song with a sick beat and unique flow, I listen to "JFK" or "Miss Camaraderie". If I need to dance my ass off, I listen to "Gimme a Chance" or "Chasing Time". If I want to hear Azealia's beautiful vocals, I can listen to all of the songs I just mentioned and more. Who else can rap and sing live and without autotune? ....... I'll wait for an answer.
This girl is beyond talented and creative. I hope her beefs and nasty attitude hasn't COMPLETELY ruined her career. I really want to see her shine with the big stars.
basbleupeaunoire I did; I support her to the fullest. Her album is the first thing I ever bought off of Google Play. I am very proud of the hard work she put into every song on there.
I'm a Nicki Minaj fan, but I actually like Azealia Banks. Not only do I agree with her tweets about igloo australia, but Azealia can rap. Her music and rap brings a new sound to hip-hop. She deserves to be more noticed, rather than igloo.
jonnyfendi2003 1.Everyone have the right to speak. 2.Do you even know what she tales about? 2.Its called full stop not period. If you're going to type in English then in English.
Azealia Banks doesn't need another artist to sing hooks on her songs. She's one of the most diverse female rappers of today and deserves a lot more recognition for that.
"Old school"? I've heard this expression for seemingly decades now. Does it refer to a very specific time frame - 80s or 90s? - or is it immediately applied to anything that's... I dunno... over five or ten years old?
If people like Taylor, Rihanna or Gaga in 2014 drop this song it's definelly could be number 1 on fucking billboard bye, Azealia deserve so much better
Eminem is legendary he's known for dissing people but please don't deny he's rap skills and he's ability because believe it or not if Eminem makes 1 diss track about Azealia Banks her career would be gone before it even starts Ask Ja Rule , Mariah Carey , & Others after Eminem dissed them their sales went downhill .. Mariah's New Album only sold over 1,000 copies after Eminem dissed her so please don't make it seem like Azealia Banks is incredible cause Eminem would kill her in 1 verse if he wants He just doesn't care .
Vaugh Monteral Music shouldn't base their standards off of what Eminem has to say, music is made for the lyrics. Doesn't this song just speak to you. When I hear blue afro by Erykah Badu I feel like I'm just meant to be. Songs should make you feel like that. So forgive someone for trying to stick up to someone else. And another thing, NEVER bring up plays teenagers shun Lorde because of it but that's on them have you heard what she sings about behind talks of money she sings of a tired life. And Azealia as well, when she's not talking about stealing someone's man or her bomb "thang" she says creative and witty things.
She makes her own songs, chooses the props, and directs her own music videos. Oh and she also can dance, rap, and sing, and oncorporate many different styles into her music. Rihanna... well she sings songs that are written for her.
Azealia is an ARTIST. Rihanna is an Entertainer. Rihanna goes into the studio and sings what she reads...Azealia writes, raps, and sings, and so much more.
I love this video the dancers and the visuals the black and white color also the song. Honestly a lot of people sleeping on Azealia BUT i'm kind of glad, because TRUE greatness most of the time isn't recognized sadly and we wouldn't want her to turn into pop trash like most have, As long as we know she a QUEEN , we all good. LOVE AZEALIA BANKS and Broke With Expensive Taste! EASILY best Female Rap Album of 2014 !
Yes but as a fan, I would love for her to be better known so she's in a good place financially. I would love for her to be making so much money that she has absolute freedom over her music without limitations, so these record labels don't keep fucking her over. I think it's kinda weird when fans want to keep a talented artist to themselves. They need that support to continue their art. Great talent should always be recognized, not kept on the hush.
Anita Ofokansi Well said. Although I understand where Danny Fenty is coming from. I would go so far as to say BWET is the Best Album of the Year period!
Anita Ofokansi I think her fans want her to win. But being lesser-known has meant that she didn't have to just make watered down BS. And that's what people love about her. I also hope that she retains artistic freedom.
Notice all the comments with disclaimers on her personal beefs! It's literally like they are afraid to openly enjoy her music without pier pressure or backlash! We live in scary times!😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵
THE VIDEO THE CHOREO THE OUTFITS THE HAIRRRRRRRR Im was already in love w the song but now its even better!!! cmon guys we know AB deserves a shitton of views love and support. i also know shes made a lot of mistakes but lets try to get her to get right! shes so amazing
With you man. Honestly is always the most respectable thing. Fearless. Not like I agree with everything she says haha. But realness is in short supply in these devilish days.
People need to understand she fights and beefs for fun. She does that against the weakest asses - but yet still the most protected - mfs in the industry. If she was fucking up with, idk, Kevin Federline, people wouldn't mind her "bad attitude" that much.
I don't understand how people judge her worth as an artist based on a "bad attitude." Has she done anything to personally offend you? Most of y'all only hate her because the next person claim s that they do (bandwagon haters), without even doing your research as to who she is as an artist. Her Twitter "beefs" or "rants" are just her personal opinion on real life issues that affect all of us. She's opinionated AND undeniably talented and that's what REALLY burns the haters on the inside.
