Woop Woop!! All of this and the playing on UK radio with no promo! She does need it tho......eventually all of the buzz will die down. At least tease a vid, or post the iTunes link on Twitter. It has been posted on her Facebook every day since the release. Even an interview on that Grape Juice would be a good start.

Personally, I want her to go to the Breakfast Club and tell off Charlemagne for keeping her name in his mouth...but try to keep it cute when talk about "The Slave Driver" from Australia comes up.

I wish she would promote it more by posting links and tweeting about it

She needs to at least go to the bbc radio to do an interview x.x, and yeah, she hasnt talk about the song at all, she needs to spam the itunes link lmfao

This Deserves to smash!!!! Its sooooo good I cant even describe it. Like how the **** does she make perfection like this? OMG!!!! I love it sooooooooooo much

[Azealia Banks]

It's not playlisted on the BBC R1 for next week. Ugh.

[cherrygoddess]

Its probably bcc it hasnt been sent, she needs to get some deal with BBC or something.. its probably harder without a label

Yeah.

PD: the song is #29 in Hip Hop Uk so its decreasing by day, it will eventually fall out the 200 and its done.

Is it doing on par with HM&R which had a similar situation of no radio push?

[Jaxsin]

if this doesn't smash

She needs to keep the momentum going tho, she can't wait another 2 weeks for a video and radios to play this, she needs to do it asap.. but poor girl without a label, I can't imagine how hard that must be

Come on now. She had been dreaming of being free for YEARS. Let her have a moment to herself, CT flopping is not going to end her career and she clearly doesn't mind. It was prematurely released due to the leak, obviously that made things much harder too. She's already mentioned that she's in talk with other labels so promo is going to some point or another. Two great singles in the course of a few months is incredible enough for us kuntz so let's just enjoy it for the time-being.

Really y'all? This is worth a warning? LOL! IT IS IN HER LYRICS! I did not say anything about her looks, family, OR personality. It is her lyrics...... Don't be pressed..

[cherrygoddess]

I hope she gets some promo.. she could easily get it

I get what you're saying, but sis she does mind. Every artist still wants to succeed with the work they put out. Yes, she wanted to be free and this all wouldn't have happened at Interscope. She needed to get away but I'm just stating the fact that getting your music out there without a label is a lot harder and that's sad when you've got sth like CT. I'm sure she enjoys the control she has now but that doesn't change her goals, she still wants for people to hear her music and buy her stuff.. but like I said, I just can't imagine how hard it must be. I can only admire her for doing it on her own

I'm def not complaining we're getting all this music tho but part of being a fan, is that you want your fave to make it and have hits, no? Of course, the music comes first but wishing for success and exposure is also part of it..

I honestly don't think she gives a ****. She said she wants to be a cool indie chick and by that metric she is massive and getting more plays than most underground artists could imagine. Success is up to the individual and most indie artists who aren't even a quarter as popular have no problem getting their music heard or considering themselves successful. A lot of them make ends meet and are happy because they are doing what they love

[Azealia Banks]

I want this to be a hit solely because it was meant to be one, she said it, and i hear it on the song. If she hadnt released this song we would have other one as a single (not radio friendly) and maybe it would have been a better one or a more experimental.

[Michete]

I really don't get why Azealia's fans think she wants to be some superstar pop girl with #1 hits.

I don't get why they want her to be that or think she ever could be.

She's on track to have a very nice career as an underground rapper and that's all she's ever wanted to be.

The music is amazing and that should be enough. Who cares if she doesn't have hits?

I personally dont think that but with this song you can tell she tried to make something that would be played on the radio without doing something that isnt authentic. I honestly dont expect to be like Nicki where she is getting hit after hit but it would be nice for her to promote and do radio interviews for this song where it could be one then she could just kinda do what she wants ala M.I.A

Nobody thinks that but she made this song to be played on the radio. I only want the album at this point
