and most of ATRL knew who Onika was they just didn't care since it was a POP music forum. but i'm talking outside of ATRL as well. AB's fan base majority made up of Gaga fans and teens on tumblr who consider marina "hipster" you can't deny that. And everything Azellia does is GAY friendly her beats being the most obvious. Which is why most of them came CLINGING to her like a moth to a flame while Nicki was straight hip-hop. You can't compare them.

Is there something wrong with that?

Wait, what? Are you SERIOUSLY trying to say that Azealia Banks' is only still strong because of the Gaga collaboration? Everyone knows that is a load of ****, Banks has had critical acclaim FOR MONTHS, prior to any sign of it. I mean, homegirl got a Coachella gig and PLENTY of endorsements that have nothing to do with Gaga.

You missed my point entirely.

You can't come for Azealia saying "Oh her fans only exist because of the rumored Gaga collaboration" when Nicki was also a nobody in the pop world/ATRL until she started doing high profile features. Thats how Nicki got her name known too, and you look silly trying to deny it.

And Azealia is known for her talent. There are a lot of girls who try to rap over house music. She got noticed because she raps really, really well over house music.

You got it all wrong, Nicki was very well known on ATRL/to the GP before PFRR.
she was also known as the girl that brought back female rap and made labels interest in female rappers spark thus giving us a slew of up & coming rap girls including Azealia

And he never said AB had fans from a rumored Gaga collabo he said she had BAND WAGONERS

Girl I'm talking about Pre-Pink Friday right now. Like 2008.

Saying "Azealia wouldn't be popular without her beats or the rumored Gaga collab" is as dumb as saying "Nicki wouldn't be popular with Young Money backing her or her collaborations with other artists." Everyone has "unfair" advantages because this is a massive industry. You can't just pick and choose which part of an artist you're going to look at.

I was angry at Azealia being shallow on twitter rn but then I heard this and now I understand...

Not at all. But are you having a hard time believing that the majority of people have not heard of Azealia Banks yet (the world does not revolve around the internet), and announcing a collab with Lady Gaga is a surefire way to get your name out there? Quite frankly, it's absurd to think the Gaga collab had no impact on people jumping on the AB bandwagon. And yeah, she makes music with electro beats that Gaga followers would eat up, so it's not surprising for them to like her stuff.

Angel bodied her once again.

It's too LQ for me to bother downloading though.

I never said it didn't have an impact. It probably expanded her fanbase a lot.

I'm saying it doesn't matter. Who honestly cares when they discovered her? All I care about is do they like her music or not.

Do you see me running around going "You didn't know M.I.A. before the Pineapple Express trailer! Bandwagon bandwagon bandwagon!"

And yes, Sherlock, people who like EDM/dancepop like Gaga probably are predisposed to like an artist who also uses EDM beats. Wow.

This is some of the most pathetic **** I've ever read on here. Grow up.

[EnoughSaid]

She is so bothered. The fumes in her dialogue intro are just pathetic.

No, i'm just saying MOST of AB supports are gay and/or either fans out the whole EDM *****. While Onika got her START through Hip-Hop! That's why she took off faster than Onika on ATRL etc.

...

So? Whats your point? Does Azealia need to apologize for being appealing to the average ATRL user?

[Ace Reject]

Angel's flow is TERRIBLE. I mean, it's really terrible.

No but that all goes back to my point of AB being a nobody without her beats. While people became fans of Nicki her lyrics. but like i said that is neither here or there.

I couldn't care less when they discovered her. I was just trying to take the blinders off your face.

You're talking like a stupid person. Azealia is using electo beats because they are hot right now and she wants to be known as more than a rapper. And yeah, her beats are what make her. Sure, she picks them, but Rihanna also picks out what Sia or Esther Dean track she wants to sing over.

And yes, she absolutely uses those beats to mask her ineptitude as a rapper. She isn't that great, and if you think she is great, you're standards are too low.

Take your condescending tone and have a seat next to Azealia in her local KFC.

"Don't like what I don't like!"

Come on.

This is good. Ze got dragged again. Way better than Banks' diss, and maybe better than OTE.

And yet, I find myself not caring anymore.

I can't stand the weird breathing/hiccuping thing she does after every line. Makes it sound like she needs to take a chill pill.

But at least I can understand what she's saying.
