azealia banks is way better than iggy azalea, 212 is better than anything iggy ever did. iggy is the product of this bizarro generation where she pretends to be trashy even though she's not, usually it was the other way around i thought.

quote:

This is 84 minutes of mixtape-rapping released by two dudes who have lucrative label deals in place, so naturally, there�s points where this release drags. Songs like �Throw Your Hood Up� dribble past the five-minute mark and come across like experiments with delivery (�Scabies on your babiieeessss,� sings Thug)

Between her, that Nicki Minaj song that samples "Sir Mix-a-lot", DJ Mustard produced songs, and "Bass no treble" song? It's been one of the worst years for pop music and hip hop in quite some time.

This is extra pathetic when u consider that it's 9,000 word salad written all about a fake rapper, which by my calcuations makes it at least 5 Platonic removes from any important social function whatsoever. The dream of Marx is def. alive up in heah.

she raps like she's from the south and all raunchy, but she's from australia and soft-spoken, even well mannered and articulate in interviews etc. kinda like drake actually. both upfront posers. real rappers are from the hood imo, the rest are just riding along.

but i'm still amazed by that writing.

what if you were an artist and someone told you: oh, all your art is the product of economic forces beyond your control, and you're a bad and ignorant person but that's okay because you're just the product of these forces. and you're being taken advantage of by black men who should know better. that you're making this kind of music is really just your false consciousness and if you knew better you'd do something else. and this is titled "in defense of iggy azalea."

anyways, iggy azalea is a corporate-produced white clone of nicki minaj right down to facial expressions and style. peace.

also this quote is a really good quote you shoul dread it once or twice thru get back to me on monday and i will give you akoan test to see if you nderstand it

quote:

From here, the racial dynamic becomes more complex, and the involvement of TI and the (male, black) heavyweights of the hip-hop scene in cosigning Azalea�s work and supporting her career seems kind of baffling � particularly given the controversies surrounding some of her lyrics and comments on social media. That is, until you consider just how much money she � and consequently, they � are making.

seriously if it turns out critical theory and postmodernism and all that horseshit was a conspiracy by the financial classes to make the revolutionary left disappear up their own assholes I would not be at all surprised

actually that's a lie, I would be surprised because it's waaaaay too successful and clever for a cabal of marketing execs and bankers to dream up
