I'm sorry for the skin tone tweet, though. I don't have any personal disdain towards dark skinned people. Seriously.

Young Gypsy ‏@AngelHaze
I apologized for a general tweet that was perceived as racist or as though I felt it was okay to perpetuate self hate. Chill. @JAILXBAIT

You want promo, for yet another weak and very monotone song...there you go. RT @AZEALIABANKS @AngelHaze make sure you listen to "BBD"

Lol. Any response that is not in the form of a song is null and void.

20 minutes. It took me nothing but a hairflip…a real one.

damn she is ice cold

bitch i'm from the 313
with a fucking meat cleaver, like who want beef?

This sucks.

Dan have you heard Reservation yet?

I have; I thought it was about 40% "this is decent" and 60% "HOLY FUCK"

wait i thought lex was supposed to disapprove of this kind of stuff

uh waht

no fucking idea what you thought or why you thought it

stupid hoe

i'm pretty sick of the narrative that sets EVERY WOMAN IN HIP-HOP against each other

whatevs, man, peace god

...

BORED, you can claim whatever zing you want off this, hurry along and start stockpiling my tweets for the next time i say something that doesn't exactly match up to something i said a year ago. BORED

anyway this diss track is obv a tossed-off 20 mins thing and yet it is better than azealia banks' own new proper track

when will AZB make a second decent song though?

the better question is "when will she make her first"

i've come to accept "liquroice" as a minor classic

putting your text conversation with someone on your track art is mad corny and super unethical. fuck an angel haze. banks is way better anyways

It's ok, people. We're allowed to like them both.

i mean, really. chill.

oh i'm not hating on AZB, but she obviously lost this round and all her post-212 material is…substandard, though i accept she may be saving the good stuff up for the album, so jury's still out.

angel haze is proven incredible and has been for over a year.

i'm just saying fuck her for doing that in specific, not in general

it's cool we get bored of your opinions, too

ftr I am totally hating on AZB and will continue to for as long as ppl keep mentioning her around me

beefin with azealia banks is a good look imo

anyone know how/why this even started

Banks' 2012 output > Haze's, although I don't think she put out a song as good as "Werkin' Girls"

I still need to hear this dis track tho, but I won't be able to for a few hours.

would pay Dan money to pick a fight with Angel Haze.

what was banks' 2012 output? "1991", "van vogue" and that mess of a fantasea mixtape?

I like both the 1991 EP and Fantasea, which I don't hear what's messy about.

my main gripe with banks is that she hasn't really settled on a "sound" and i don't get the sense that she's experimenting as much as she just doesn't have a good grasp on what she wants her music to be. she can still make good tracks regardless but over the course of a full length it feels a bit amateur to me.

I played Reservation three times on New Year's Day morning.

they both rap a lil try-hard for me i prefer some insouciance

i mess with 'werkin girls' tho

I mean it's got filler like any tape but I think she recorded the sweetest, sexiest love (and sex) songs of the year after Miguel

i'm not completely sold on either of them beyond a track or two each but the fact that not a single azb song has stuck in over a year now makes her a pretty ideal target.

xp Are you thinking of "Gypsy Letters"? Love that so much.

yes!

but she has so many twitter followers! xxp

"gypsy letters" is so gorgeous

though haze's "fall for your type" from the year before really does set a high bar for her love songs

my main gripe with banks is that she hasn't really settled on a "sound" and i don't get the sense that she's experimenting as much as she just doesn't have a good grasp on what she wants her music to be. she can still make good tracks regardless but over the course of a full length it feels a bit amateur to me.

She seems to have stuck pretty consistently with the whole neo-hip-house thing.

I always forget that I like "1991".

It sounds great in jackin sets.

i think "1991" was the last song i put on my EOY trax list, it's decent

what most disappointed me about banks last year was how rarely she seemed to match the beats she choose, her vox fell flat so much of the time

and that's true of her new one too

One thing I'll say frustrates me about her is, "212" aside, she seems better at coming up with memorable pieces of songs than memorable songs. Like I'll constantly get bits of her tracks stuck in my head, but have no idea which song they're from.

totes

even "212" is basically three or four cobbled bits.

that's sort of why fantasea sounded good to be but also why it made me doubt that she has a solid proper LP in her right now
