because it's shaking you guys up, and shaking up the image of her you thought was real. i can see a lot of people here criticizing the execution, when really its the subject matter that you all have a problem with. 

she has yet to break a hot single, she's about to release a debut album, she's not a mainstream popstar, in other words, she has yet to do everything by the book that you guys want her to do so that she'll be liked and successful and well received. her rise to artistic stardom is not a form of protocol, or procedure, which is what i feel like you guys seem to think about being a musician. 

she's being abrasive and resilient about who she is as an artist. 

I just didn't like it, my opinion, when I saw it I thought it was creepy and weird, that's it. What's the big deal?

Sampling Mary J Blige...

Classy.

She's a goddess. 

Her public image is **** and she can't go five minutes without fighting.

But her music slays everyone else and is SO ahead of its time.

I'm not gonna DL. I'll just listen to it on her Soundcloud until the official release. I love it though!!

actually, the aesthetic and style of it is not very different from what azealia's been doing, nor does it contain elements that differ from what we wanted, its just that the overall product this time is a lot more abrasive and upfront.

To be completely honest, I'm gonna kill whoever didn't boost her vocals more.



really? when?

 

Starting at 2:12... That voice is Mary J. Blige. "No More Drama". One time, like two years ago, I Tivoed a block of Lady Gaga music videos on FUSE. All their shows start late, so the recordings always have some of the previous program on them. This recording had the entire music video for "No More Drama" and I watched it so many times... I'd know that song anywhere.

 

 

PRETTY IRONIC FOR AZEALIA THOUGH

Well I don't really care for the promotion, hype, image and stuff like that, as long as the music and the stuff we get is good. So yeah I just thought the cover didn't look very appealing, but I agree it's somewhat shocking (not very original though) and may create interest around her. I obviously wouldn't judge the song by its cover.

Man, I hope she doesn't get dropped or something for releasing #yungrapunxel way early, as well as all the non stop twitter feuds! She seems like quite a liability for Interscope!!

Not sure on the actual song yet. It's definitely different and twisted like she said, but it's not really got any of the catchy lyrics/melodies that 212 and the 1991 ep have...

So proud of her, this is definitely her proper introduction as an artist because its so bold and futuristic! Like I know it's such a risk but I think she knew what she was doing releasing it... Bad ass!
