right now I'm hype but if she doesn't follow through with the mixtape within the next thirty days, I'm chalking this up as a big disappointment. this should be one bop in a body of work, not some load-bearing single. (and while I'm not sure I'd call it a step backwards as one person did, it definitely doesn't feel like a step forward.)

all this being said, I NEED LYRICS. please come through, Zee Zee!!!

I like it purely because it feels like forever since we've heard her on something. It's familiar territory for Azealia but I really love it for what it is. She should really drop Slay-Z next Friday but I don't think it's coming for another month atleast. I'm not expecting anything top tier Broke quality, we'll see. It's a 7 out of 10 for me.

This is the big game, the big beat; that 90s-laden house vibe over her standard and flawless spitfire and killer vocals, will make you wish you were pumping your arms in a club MTV video, wearing a wide-legged silk suit, with a giant turbo fan in the background.

Ms. Banks--who's spent more time in the past year or so alienating even her most dedicated apologists (hi!), reminds us why she is truly in a dimension of her own; the most talented and versatile rapper out there.

Paper Magazine

Already a lot of good reviews for this. Stereogum and Spin said a few good words to.

This killed my hype for SlayZ

THIS SONG IS FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

YAAAAAAAASSSSSSS
Azealia can do no wrong. Pure talent!

Azealia Banks comes through today with her new single, "The Big Big Beat." The track is an unabashed banger as the rapper tears through a savagely good beat. Equal parts rowdy and infectious, the track lives up to its title as Banks seamlessly skitters across that backbeat courtesy of producer An Expresso. Banks previously described it to her fans on Twitter as "Detroit house vibes with major Diana Ross teas. U guys are gonna gag."

Azealia Banks just released her new single, “The Big Big Beat,” the first taste of her upcoming mixtape Slay Z. “A to the B / Dance to the big big beat / Dance to the big big beat / Just like this” she rhymes over glittery synthesizers before her (very very good) singing voice hops in for a turn. Hear “The Big Big Beat” below and look for the rapper’s Broke With Expensive Taste follow-up later this spring.

It's alright

the thread title tho

Azalea Banks - The Big Big Beat

[teen-idle]

There's always been a sense that if she could just get a record out we'd remember why we love her. That record finally arrived this afternoon: "The Big Big Beat" returns Banks to the environment where she thrives, namely a throwback hip-house groove. She floats here, skittering between hard as nails raps and bubbly hooks over what sounds like a flayed sample of Biggie.

Meh...not feeling it. Uninspired. She needs to work on changing her flow/rapping cadence. It's getting a bit tired

This, unfortunately.
It's cute, but it sounds like the lovechild of a few other songs she has, namely 1991, Miss Camaraderie, and Chasing Time.

This was not worth the delay.
Still a nice little bop though.

Look at this wrist, look at these colorful chips

Look at these titties, Double Ds

I feel like the reception would have been the same, 2 weeks ago

[ruefle]

As far as songs go where I'm encouraged to "Dance to the beat with Little Bambi": Count Contessa >>>>> The Big Big Beat

Kinda sad to me that a song she wrote 2.5 years ago still sounds fresher to me than this one. But then again, I'll admit I'm a sucker for Lone and any song she writes that has some weird fable background to it...

[Lucky#17]

YAS bitch - this is fierce as ****. The 1991 vibes are TOO real. She came through with this bopT!


EDIT: THE VOCAL ON THIS. TAKE ME AZEALIA.
