The lovely Miss Azealia Banks and her purple hair cover The Hundreds Magazine. The Harlem native refrains from biting her tongue by expressing her true thoughts about Kreayshawn, Nicki Minaj & XL Records. Vol. 3 Issue 2 of The Hundreds Magazine will be available on February 2nd. Below are some excerpts from her interview:
On Kreayshawn:
“As much as Kreayshawn would love to be considered part of this ‘rap game,’ she’s not. I guess a part of me is kind of annoyed that those white girls are making these songs, and it’s like if these girls were black and making the same songs would you be that interested?”
On Nicki Minaj:
“The butt, the hair, the this, the that, all the other ****, like… As much respect that I have for her, we’ve seen you do this already, what else can you do?”
On her career aspirations:
I’m trying to be innovative, I want to be like Missy Elliott was, respected and accepted for doing her own thing.
On her experience with XL Records:
“It was almost the day I signed to XL that they started checking out. There were a good seven to eight months where I was just sending them texts and no-one would say anything or pick up the phone or respond to my emails. Nothing. And it started to ruin me.
I was like, this is not what I worked so hard my entire life to do – to be rejected by some English guy in West Bumblefrickin’ nowhere London, telling me I’m amateur or something like that. So I just said, ‘Screw you!’”
