It's not even the Azealia hate it's just that ATRL is soooooo stale. :/
I found this place looking for somewhere to talk about Azealia during her music drought. Then I saw how biased, racist and ignorant a lot of people are on here. So I was like why not challenge these self-marginalized guys. Shake up the hive a bit.

Same try to ignore it as much as possible cause I can't deal.
Venus X hit the nail on how the music industry works and it's clear why someone like Azealia Banks would cut strings with these artist she's supposed to be "building ties" with.
@ 3:40 she introduces herself and Ghetto Goth
@ 13:30 she talks about her job as Shakira's music consultant and how expoloitative and stock pop mainstream is.
@17:55 She talks about Diplo and his culture vulturing, breaks down appropriation in music and how it's real and affects minority people
@32:31 She breaks down Mad Decent, Maluca's plight (exploited minority artist), watered down music, plight of minority artist

I agree with all the points in that video but I don't know if it's something Azealia considers entirely. She only seems to disagree when it goes against her own vision. After all, she uses beats without permission herself (may or may not be made by white boys) and she supports Diplo too.
-There's been a #swindle she's excited about
-She can't wait to tell us about it; i.e., it's something that can be explained to fans and isn't something super obscure behind the scenes
-Lakimba said something big is coming
-Azealia said it's music-related
-She said her series of Last Laughs is about to begin, she told us so, she's going to scalp everyone, etc.
So the question: what is the #swindle? Any guesses?
Finally dropped from one or both of her labels? Signed to a new label? Finally secured a release date? Is going to keep even more money from touring and sales than she already does? What else could it be??
I have no idea but I wish she would stop hyping stuff and just do it. She's kind of becoming more and more known as the girl who hypes things that either don't ever happen or don't live up to the hype. At least she's not doing it TOO much this time.
I hate how she's still handling her career like some amateur Myspace artist. Like, what artist answers fan DM's first of all and about new music nonetheless.
