49 mins · People are ALWAYS writing articles about me and go "this drama is overshadowing her talent." well did you ever think that it could be possible for an artist to enjoy social media the way everyone else does, and maybe you just don't have to report on everything? These are music blogs right? I think its time all these music publications start doing themselves a favor and STICK TO THE MUSIC. Now a days you have every music publication trying to be "savvy" and on-trend, by reporting on everything. It's like music magazines are trying to compete with gossip blogs and news aggregators. Did any of these music "journalists" ever stop to think that it's THEIR job to write about music and not what celebrities do/say otherwise?? I think a lot of their (music journo's) confusion comes from their own desires to see themselves in the limelight, so they start trying to dig into the artists character and come up with these corny ass pseudo-psychiatric evaluations that are really more a reflection of the writer than anything else. Everyone seems to be so tired of Azealia Banks and her drama, then why the **** do you keep reporting on it/reading the ****? Next time some journo makes a comment about anything i'm doing outside of music, i'm going to have to politely remind them to do their jobs and worry about the music.

I'm honestly tired of rapping, the rap scene and the whole rap-girl persona. Considering dropping my last name and just going by "Azealia" and not rap for a while. I'm really tired of being that girl. It's not me. Remember, i only started rapping because my acting career wasn't moving as quickly as i wanted it to. Rap has been SUCH diversion for me, and it's probably the reason i feel so lost and off my path. I've done great things with Rap, but only because it pays my bills. I would much rather sing and act and never rap again. I don't want to be a rapper anymore.

Take time off, write and record music, and let the music do the talking. Your mouth has done enough damage to ruin multiple careers. You're too freaking talented to let yourself fall by the wayside.... again.
Slay Z was bad for Azealia's standards, the rapping on it felt so uninspired and boring whereas her singing really shone (Used to Being Alone, Queen of Clubs etc). I'm excited queen! I always wanted her to sing more ever since hearing her Slow Dance cover
