Azealia Banks is talented. Purely talented. But there's so many issues plaguing her that it's starting to become ridiculous.
I SUPPORT her and I do really like her as an artist, but this is ridiculous.
If you're an artist and you announce release dates, it's perfectly NORMAL for things to be pushed back or for things to not be released on time, once or twice. But when you've been doing it since your first EP and you're still doing it one year later on your DEBUT ALBUM, something has to give. Simply don't announce **** if you can't abide by it.
You announce Fantasea and it's release date, the day comes and it's pushed back a few hours. FINE. You announce your album is coming in the Fall and that's it called BWET, however it's pushed back to Feb 2013. OKAY, you're a brand new artist with nothing but Internet hype, it's all good. You announce that Esta Noche is being released as a single and you have William spazzing, however you can't release it to radio because of clearance issues. Hmm, shouldn't the label already have dealt with that? Whatever it's just a mixtape song.
Now you announce BBD and it's from your ALBUM. You stay on hush mode for weeks after announcing it and then you finally acknowledge it and release it to soundcloud. You then have your album pushed back without a date, and you also scrap Miss Amor. A mess.
Azealia has so much talent but her of her label or SOMEONE is literally sabotaging her debut album. This shouldn't be happening, especially with a label as massive as INTERSCOPE backing her.

THIS!!!
Only the real fans understand why this is so annoying at this point.

Let's not with the the angry ones being the "real fans." 
There are those of us who have learned not to expect timing or really anything especially professional from Azealia at this point. To be honest I'd imagine the "real" fans would be the ones keeping composure given that they've dealt with this before, but it's not my place to label someone a real fan or otherwise. I'm here for the music, it will eventually come.

Azealia needs to think of the European teens who want this single to bop to school with.

So I should waste my time having a meltdown on a music forum?
I'm not saying it's acceptable, I'm saying it's ridiculous to lose your **** over something that you logically should have already expected. I would have been surprised had this been released at midnight.

The fact you're at the point where you learned to not expect a correct time from her, and we're the angry ones?...Clearly you have reached a point w/ her.
And I never said the angry ones are the real ones, it's the ones who are able to see Azealia is not perfect and if she's trying to get that $$ and Mainstream she needs to improve on things like this.
A real fan is not gonna wait til 4 A.M. w/ every single, to have her release it anytime she wants.
You're sitting here acting like we have no right to get mad. If you're mad at my feelings, there's an ignore button Like seriously, go mind yourself.

1. That wasn't a meltdown. I've never had a meltdown, except on June 3, 2012, but that was different.
2. You are indirectly saying you already expected it to be delayed. You should want better for your favorite artist

You have a right to get mad, but you've said or cosigned your peace probably five times over now. I've reached a point with her, yes—she's flawed, doesn't seem to have any sense of timing or a consideration for her fans' thirst. I HOPE that she eventually arrives to a point where she can see how unprofessional she's been with this single/album, but unfortunately I've become resigned to the fact that she probably won't be a grade A professional anytime soon.
Despite her professional/personality flaws I am here for the music and for me that's all that matters. I just want the thread to realize that there is time left in the day. There is time for communication and hopefully the single to drop.
@Willy, I wasn't suggesting you had a meltdown, I was saying iHype and others were but I see that I wasn't clear. I can't ever remember you having a meltdown.

Even if she isn't, she's in the US, and it's not even 12am in all of the US, so she's probably in LA right now, where it's only 10pm.

Me and Willy were the only ones writing paragraphs, while the others wrote 1-2 sentences. Yet they had the meltdowns.....I understand.
