Bingo. She is the female kweli, more or less.

...

i know, redundant huh

i thought his homegirl greezy had that spot on lock

yeah Grae is unquestionably the female Kweli (although she is fun on twitter)

so is Kwe!

so why did this whole thing start today

because AB thinks she has to defeat every other female rapper mini-boss before she can face Bower Minaj for supremacy

er Bowser shit

AB said some shit about people not originally from NY claiming New York, AH took it as a sneak diss

that dis track is great. seems too timely to have been recorded much earlier? i don't pay any attention to banks. does she do dis tracks etc. or just twitter beef?

AB specializes at making great instrumentals slightly worse

cool beef between two really important artists

cool post from really important ilxor

dag

i always think this is a pornstar

angel haze or j0rdan sargent?

Whomever has more beef.

lol @ koopa minaj

Someone mentioned AH sounds like an angry Childish Gambino on her diss track. The second-hand embarrassment for this chick is beyond palpable rn.

and way grosser than text message convo cover art, no matter how unethical it is.

things like that text message have usually been inbounds in rap beefs imo

reminds me of that Company Flow "Linda Tripp" song where they recorded the Anticon guy on the phone

also -- lol @ koopa minaj

checkmate, imo

wish I could download and check the metadata

how is yet another track that's better without her on top of it "checkmate"?

the beat is from 2011. Very suspicious

I declare this a victory for ... Rap Music

I'm giving round 1 to Haze.

Both lose imo.

"Seriously, if you were not born and raised in NY.... DON'T CLAIM NY. YOU ARE NOT A NEW YORKER"

i think AB lost it right there

"where is THE NEW YORKER HOTEL. where are the headquarters of THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE? oh that's right, the TWO ONE TWO"

i might have made that one up

"Seriously, if you do not make your living slinging crack rocks and shooting people in the face… DON'T CLAIM THE DRUG TRADE. YOU ARE NOT A REAL GANGSTA."

Rappers claiming things - where will it end?

wait you guys are really offended by azealia's original claim? what's objectionable about it?

that new york is a city of immigrants? of people who moved there?

Yeah, every place has a right to a "locals only" attitude, even (and especially) NYC.

xp Well for one thing it misses the point of the track. Haze has been open about coming from Michigan and writing it when she'd only just moved to New York so it's knowingly outrageous - you arrive somewhere and you have so much self-belief that you feel like you own it. She's not trying to trick anybody.

its concern with policing boundaries?

xposts

i believe that's what anti-immigrant rhetoric worldwide stems from, yes

xp exactly

exactly to DL re: the track's chutzpah

i mean c'mon that is some backwards type of attidude

like, it's specifically designed to rile born'n'raised new yorkers and AZB fell for it

TUDE

haha yeah

i think seeing that as "anti-immigrant" is reading a bit too much into it

I'm probably a little more meek than Angel Haze, but I wouldn't move to someplace and act like I own the shit, and I especially wouldn't start a beef with someone who's been there her whole life and has a certain amount of pride about that fact.

i mean that is new york's one and only sure-fire guarantee to everyone, that if you live there and you have affection for it, you are a new yorker, no questions asked

and the fact that azealia appears not to know that kind of makes me question her new york credentials, tbh!
