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?

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

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

wait you guys are really offended by azealia's original claim? what's objectionable about it?
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 January 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
that new york is a city of immigrants? of people who moved there?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, every place has a right to a "locals only" attitude, even (and especially) NYC.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 January 2013 18:54 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Deafening silence (DL), Friday, 4 January 2013 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
its concern with policing boundaries?

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

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 18:56 (eleven years ago) link
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
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 January 2013 18:59 (eleven years ago) link
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
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 4 January 2013 19:00 (eleven years ago) link
and the fact that azealia appears not to know that kind of makes me question her new york credentials, tbh!

this was re: any type of "locals only" or "locals first" attitude, in any form. i mean it really really is, i think that attitude is poisonous
― lex pretend, Friday, 4 January 2013 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
NYC welcomes all, but there's definitely a certain amount of pride among people who were born there. I don't begrudge them that.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 4 January 2013 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
i was under the impression that people born and raised in new york were forcefully territorial about the idea of "being a new yorker"

If I'd been born in Bed-Stuy and was constantly bombarded by hipster douchebags who just moved in from Oklahoma acting like they know what's what, I'd get a little protective of my identity and of those like me.

I get the impression that ppl are territorial about being from specific boroughs but not "New York" as a gestalt entity
I have no idea if that impression makes any sense, btw
― Angel Haze is my hero (DJP), Friday, 4 January 2013 19:06 (eleven years ago) link
it's cool when people in new york are not from new york because then they are not huge downers about what the city is like

NO ONE gets territorial about manhattan - in my experience? it's the overdog! and then here's this whole song named after it, 212, i mean you need a landline for that, and newer landlines don't even get 212 numbers anymore do they?
