JUST
/pol/ WAS WRONG
AND RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME
UNBELIEVABLE
(Listen to this album or your dad dies tonight)
I hope she kills herself
yeah but she was the biggest name on the bill so now everyone is gonna want their money back
>>64781971
good, fuck her
how is her career even still going? hasnt had a hit since 212
>>64782074
Maybe I want my faggot dad to die
>>64782171
I think the whole thing is publicity stunt , she just wants to stay relevant in any possible way , and being a controversial topic is the easiest and most guaranteed way ( e.g : the whole slutty miley cyrus reborn thing )
>>64782154
It's a grimey festival from Rinse FM, a lot of the people going aren't going to see her.
>>64782154
what kind of graveyard shithole dump of a festival is this that azealia banks is the biggest name
>grime
>UK rap
Why are Americans so fucking dumb?
>>64782236
really? who else is on the lineup?
>>64782243
It's a grime festival.
>>64782243
A United Kingdom musical festival.
>>64782246
Sorry no one cares about your memes aside from your gay country :)
>>64782259
http://www.bornandbredfestival.com/
>>64782246
To Americans and people who aren't aware of the origins of grime, it definitely sounds like a British subgenre of hip-hop, it's undeniable.
>>64782288
The UK still produces better music and has better music fans.
source: 4chan /mu/
>>64782345
But MC'ing / rapping is a Jamaican thing, hip hop didn't start it.
Oh wait, most raptards don't even know that.
>>64782235
I think it's legit. I think she has mental issues. She genuinely seems crazy.
This shit isn't helping her music career in any way. Sure, she's making headlines, but no one actually cares about her, and bullying 14 year olds on social media isn't exactly in the textbook for becoming a global popstar.
It's very similar to the B.o.B situation from this year, the dude who has had number 1 hits and is now a massive, extremely uneducated conspiracy theorist. A lot of people think that's a conspiracy theory too, but he's not actually selling records or getting YouTube views from it, so it's probably not.
Stereogum has refused to post about this and Pitchfork has already buried it way down in news stories
I fucking hate the double standard music media, if this was Mark Kozolek, hed be getting fucking deatroyed by both
>>64782287
literally never heard of any of these faggots aside from azealia and that ilovemakonnen guy
>>64782386
no they don't, that's why they get confused. Get it?
>>64782425
She's a black woman, what do you expect?
She's already gotten away with it.
>>64782430
So you're a clueless pleb, no surprises really.
>>64782425
Except that this is literally a no-name festival that nobody cares about. Azealia and ILOVEMAKONNEN are the headliners whereas at any half-decent festival they'd be somewhere down in the lower half of the undercard.
>>64782430
They're big in grime.
This is a grime festival with a couple big name headlines.
But I guarantee 95% of the people are going want to see Wiley and Slimzee instead of Azealia fucking Banks.
I hate the fact that she is getting a pass because she is a black , she called zayn son of filthy refugee scum and sandnigger paki and other stuff about his origin.
Now Imagine if it was the other way around , or if zayn talked shit back , imagine the bizzare things would happen if zayn talked about black people/her black origins , that would be officially the death of his career , meanwhile she already gotten away with it , fuck I hate this world.
I'm so glad /mu/ never fell for the nonstop viral posts for azealia bans back when 212 first came out. She has always sucked. Those nonstop threads pissed me off like crazy.
>>64782548
She's not getting a pass because she's black.
She's getting absolutely slaughtered for this, and she's ruined any chance of a career.
Musically, she's done. Yeah she might trend on Twitter a few times for saying stupid things, but she's never gonna be actually relevant.
It's B.o.B all over again.
>>64782557
If you try posting the original 1991 copypasta, it's still blocked by the spam filter.
>>64782532
>Except that this is literally a no-name festival that nobody cares about
>>64782530
>>64782532
>Except that this is literally a no-name festival that nobody cares about
Wiley's there you idiot.
>>64782425
>Stereogum has refused to post about this
Black people can be entitled cunts too? Wow.
>that great feel when Banks will never be more than a D-list hiphop artist
What a great feel. She's lucky she's even relevant enough to support herself performing.
http://metro.co.uk/2016/05/11/azealia-banks-has-deleted-all-of-her-tweets-and-explained-that-zayn-malik-rant-i-love-to-disturb-people-5875923/#mv-a
>>64781971
Looool. Well, she kinda did go overboard on twitter
Imagine living in a world where Wiley was a literally who
>>64781971
I legitimately think there's something wrong with her, controversy gets coverage but there has to be a point where it stops. It's literally the only way she can stay relevant but she's probably fucked up so many relationships in the business that I'm surprised she's still doing shows.
>>64782788
So America then.
>>64782776
>kinda
In the span of a day she went full /pol/ on a massive pop superstar, bullied a 14 year old for not having big boobs or a big ass, and began shit talking a genre and a culture that was headlining her for a festival.
>>64782795
Yeah she definitely has some form of mental issue desu.
>>64782795
she done some
bad thangs just to get change
All she can do is lash out
find a couple down twitters
throw some hashtags, cash out
GIBBS
>>64782630
and i say literally who
>>64782927
YEEHAW
>>64782927
Listen to Treddin On Thin Ice and Playtime Is Over and come back a changed man.
>hates on pop stars
>claims to make better music
>decide to listen to one of her songs, just to see what she's smoking
>212.
>it's literally MIA
how can one person be this delusional.
Does she make her own beats?
>>64782989
she's an average american black girl
If she said anything about jews her career would be 110% over
Not even Mel Gibson's fame and talent could protect him from such firey vengeance
>>64783035
No she just raps over uk garage tunes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_JvvALgD9Q
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UcqNHdHdxs
dumb nigger lol
>>64782593
>It's B.o.B all over again.
huh? what'd he do? i was wondering why he vanished.
>>64783147
He tried to get a resurgence by saying that the Earth was flat and #beefing with Neil Degrasse Tyson
>>64783073
did she not already make tweets about jews? i vaguely remember she did a few years back
>>64783147
He stated the earth is flat and made a rap verse about it , and kept getting into fights with scientific figures
>>64783197
the earth is flat though
fucking lying ass scientitst piss me off
>>64782430
Never heard of logan sama, the street fighter commentator?
She's a cunt and she deserves this but I do agree that British hip-hop is pretty polarizing. I don't really like it myself.
>>64783197
kek, what a dumbass.
>>64782287
No it fucking isn't, you dunce. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>64783266
what about grime?
>>64783266
You should post that in a thread about British hip hop m8
>>64783315
There is no genre in the history of music that people pretend to like more than Grime.
>>64783147
He thinks the Earth is flat but that's only the half of it.
He thinks the other side of the Earth is inhabited by lizard people called the Vril.
He thinks the moon is completely translucent and you can shine a laser straight through it.
He believes in human cloning and that there are clones walking among us right now and that almost every major celebrity is a clone.
He believes that the government creates tsunamis.
He believes that the reason his popularity has dropped is because the government is censoring him.
He believes there's brainwashing chemicals in water and food. And chemtrails.
>>64783336
EAI, electroacousmatic, onkyo, noise, post-punk
>>64783315
he just said he didnt like british hip hop
>>64783315
I don't really care for grime either.
I like UK garage though.
>>64783371
He's in the wrong thread then.
>>64783359
Noise and post-punk are in the top 3, but Grime is still #1, and EAI, electroacousmatic and onkyo are memes exclusive to this board and RYM so close but no so cigar.
>>64782989
Its not just MIA man
Its MIA saying cunt a lot
>>64783391
This thread's primary subject is clearly Azealia Banks despite the OP's intentions whatever they were though.
She's not even british.
>>64783374
I've never listened to uk garage much outside of burial. What are some good albums?
>>64783359
>posts legitimately enjoyable genres
>>64783411
so naturally she would fit right in at a grime/gareidge festival?
>>64783426
I'm by no means a great source of knowledge about UK garage but heres a couple decent tracks.

>>64783374
My man. 2-Step is my shit.
The growing backlash to The BLM Movement has claimed it's first victim and I love that it's Ms. Banks. Nicki Minaj next please.
>>64782659
>already way off first page
>yacht story remains headline
>>64782287
that's an excellent lineup.
the people who would go to that would be just as stoked for those other artists.
This talentless (all her music sucks, if you like please gobacktotumblr and rave about beyonce as well like the numales you are) racist piece of shit needs to be black (lel)listed like viet cong was just for having their name
the sjw (aka black supremist) friendly music media will never push for it though. theyll give a collective eye roll and call to just "ignore her" instead of pushing for any actual consequences
sad!
>>64783346
>there aren't brainwashing chemicals in food and water
Fluoride and GMOs are not normal
>>64782287
Solid line-up on the Sunday
>>64784270
She endorses trump
>>64784272
Enjoy your diseases and your harmful bacteria
>>64783078
uk garage was so good, fuck
>>64784325
You mean the ones we had for millions of years before the American government saved us?
I bet you think circumcision is normal, too. Fucking sheep.
Reminder that Azealia literally just BUYS her instrumentals from actual artist.

She doesn't even sample, or buy the og producer to make her an exclusive instrumental. She literally just uses already existing tracks with ZERO modification.
>>64784382
Try new Baitorade in five exciting new flavors!
http://www.stereogum.com/1876318/london-fest-drops-azealia-banks-for-racist-comments-about-zayn/news/
every fucking time she says some disgusting shit the articles preface it with "the VERY TALENTED!!!!", this is fucking pathetic lmao
also calling this "trolling" instead of blatant hate speech
stereogum is worse than p4k
>>64784382
Except that people in that past died like fucking flies for unknown reasons , filthy water is a huge factor , I hate hipsters like you thinking they know shit.
>>64782287
lmfaooo, those artist names, they're just as goofy as i expected
>>64784405
**artists
>>64784413
he's not wrong about circumcision tho
>>64782243
>>64782430
It's a pretty small festival in terms of the UK, really only London grime lovers will be going to it.
Stick to Reading or V Festival mates :^)
>>64784433
Circumcision isn't natural? Did he call the major news networks to inform them? He should at least put out a bulletin to spread the word. It's fucked up that this is completely unknown to the rest of humanity.
>>64784405
How the fuck is this allowed?
>>64782287
Except there are numerous other genres except grime there you idiot
>>64784405
The funny thing that I learned in music is that people who call other people thieves/unoriginal , have done this shit too in the past
>>64783359
>>64783408
>not enjoying post-punk
What the fuck is wrong with you
What I like about this is that it forces progressives to call her comments racist (they are, they are), which destroys their attempt at this new definition of racism that it's purely about 'power and privilege' and blacks or any other non-whites can't be racist
>>64784472
>really only London grime lovers will be going to it.
But there's a bunch of garage, dubstep, house, jungle, etc. on the lineup too you nonce
>>64784679
nah man she was just trolling
black people cant be racist i learned it at college
"racist"
>>64784846
this one says she was "seemingly racist"
#PakiLivesMatter
what's this about a 14 year old girl....
/mu/ pretending to like garage/jungle/anything that isn't a meme is just the MOST ADORABLE THING :3
but yeah you're all perennially clueless, stop pretending otherwise cheers
>>64784916
yes, a black woman could only get 'seemingly racist' at most, surely just white racism reflecting off of her unintentionally, a trick of the light
>>64784382
>implying there haven't been new diseases and bacteria forms to occur in those millions of years
>implying people didn't drop like flies for reasons they couldn't understand
>implying life expectancy hasn't increased dramatically in the first world over that time
Keep filtrating your water like Alex Jones says though
>>64784962
I was going to raves and jungle events in the 90s, fag.
>>64784421
comment section is people making fun if trump and gene Simmons more than her
pathetic
>>64784916
Nice email faggot
>>64784962
ukg is pretty well liked by /mu/ and has been since /mu/s burial phase at least.
ukg is the best dance music and nobody on /mu/ would dare to argue.
>mfw outrage kultur turns on one of its perpetrators
>>64784846
>>64784916
Is it really hard to call her for what she is?
>>64784846
>>64784916
>those quotation marks
Fucking cowards
>>64785029
Techno > breaks > UK > house >>> trance = hip hop
>>64785090
just what I was thinking
>>64785099
>techno
oookay kid
>>64785090
this is why her brazenness is good. it forces them to have to acknowledge that racism and fucked up human behavior is just everywhere and it's not a white thing, it's just messy human reality that will never be cleaned up
>>64785099
*UKg
>>64785099
by breaks do you mean like the breaks genre like Crystal Method and shit? because yuck.
>>64785141
>, it's just messy human reality that will never be cleaned up
This. I have a hard time trying to understand sometimes why people have so much hatred in their hearts.
>>64785007
So you're 30+, unironically use words like "fag" and post on 4chan?
Props to you, waste.
>>64785099
post your most danceable techno i tripled og-dare you
>>64785099
>techno over house
inbred white spotted
>>64785185
fucking hell, what
>>64785185
The umbrella including hardcore, jungle, d&b, big beat, breakcore, broken beat, trip hop, raggacore etc
remember that black people can't be racist. it just doesn't work that way. :^)
>>64785204
>So you're 30+, unironically use words like "fag" and post on 4chan?
people who aren't little college kids still think 'fag' is an actual insult and not outrageous super aggressive hatespeech like they taught you on tv faggot
>>64785186
I don't like it, but it doesn't matter if I want it to be this way or not... but it just is.
my problem with progressives (I'm not a conservative either) is that their pretending that the problems of human imperfection can be reduced to clear definitions like racism or sexism rather than being all-pervasive, in everyone, and something that could never be fixed, especially not by simply monitoring and correcting the way people speak, as if saying the right words (and not the wrong words) suddenly renders everything perfect. it's a fundamental flaw of their theoretical conception of things - that reality doesn't exist but is simply the product of language and cultural conventions and so those things simply need to be corrected. it's oppressive and creepy, but also simply wrong and impossible.
I will always celebrate everything that undermines this agenda - in other words, whenever reality fucks their shit up. like a black woman being racist.
>>64785204
I only use the word fag to bother you.
>>64785099
make techno equal to breaks and put ukg under house and you're me
>>64785254
I wouldn't like to group many of those great genres with those lamer ones, but yeah I was wondering if you meant it that way
for a while, 'breaks' meant a particular genre umbrella that was more limited to like Big Beat and Crystal Method and stuff. generally midtempo breaks with no vocal tracks except little sample snippets and riffs
>>64785298
I'm 25 and """college kid""" really isn't a thing in my country, you daft cunt. Using the word "fag" makes you sound like a mouthbreather, irrespective of context.
>>64785361
See above, spastic.
Sincerely hope you both drown in whichever body of water you enter next.
>>64785456
>he's a foreigner

>foreigner
Do you even know which thread you're in
You are so fucking embarrassing
>>64785456
see, it's really just about appearances with you.
"oooh, saying 'fag' is NOT A GOOD LOOK, only rednecks would say that!"
admit, your adoption of your commitment to saying certain words is actually about feeling better than certain people. which does the very thing you're claiming to fight.
fucking faggot.
>>64785551
way to say absolutely fucking nothing, you void
>>64784405
Thanks for introducing me to LOAN. And, Azelia's /is/ different, but not by a large margin.

oh, I knew you were uk just by the way you post and think
people like you are lower than low. your committing suicide would actually be good for the world. a culture of people who live in constant toxic resentment of each other, always jealous of their self-affirming American counterparts. filthy limey fag.

>we celebrate inclusivity and equality
>but not when someone has a different opinion than me!!!!
What the fuck is wrong with people do they not know how hypocritical they are being? I don't even like azealia, but this is just dumb political shit when it should be about music.
When did everyone become so fucking boring and sensitive?
>>64785602
Meh, thought it was stylised in all caps.

It's lone, pal

BUMP N GRIND
yeah that's pretty much what I expected, looks like it'd be pretty good tho. 18:00 for gun fingers and re-re-re-rewind
>>64785863
yeah and grime is chalk full of all kinds of violence and antisocialness and sexism, but only certain narrow matters get called out with progressives. SCUM.
>>64785892
oh shit 19:20 everyone goes mad
>>64785892
i mean him playing the garridge classics is better than a lot of the 4x4 schlock he was playing out in the mid-00s
>>64785863
You can't just call someone a sandnigger , son of refugee filth , a faggot , smelly paki and call that " a different opinion " , plus freedom of speach doesn't mean shit you say won't have any consequences , you're publicly insulted another artist personally , what the hell do you expect ?
>>64785332
It's actually hard for me to hate someone without a legitimate reason.Race, sexuality, or whatever reason people hate for I can't do it. I try to be accepting as possible.
>>64785863
>Going on racist rants
>Opinions
Pretty sure that "Opinion" is classified under "Hate speech" which is illegal, also Rinse isn't gonna want a person who spouts that sort of rhetoric on their books, representing them as a brand.
>>64785881
I realise that now.
>>64785959
That's a good way to treat people.
>>64786002
>Pretty sure that "Opinion" is classified under "Hate speech" which is illegal
god damn, if there's one thing I like about living in the shithole that is the usa it's the fact that such bullshit laws don't exist here
>>64786626
Pretty sure publicly saying that to another artist is illegal here in the US too
>>64786703
nah I don't think we have laws like that, that's a europe thing
>>64786703
how? libel/slander/whatever?
>>64786751
>>64786746
I'm by no means expert in law , but look at how much Mil gibson got BTFO by talking about some jews , or Hulk hogan for saying the word nigger , he got fired from his organization almost immediately , and that what happened with banks
>>64786873
those aren't legal cases though, that's them coming under fire in the social sphere for saying that shit
>>64786873
mel took that shit overboard
>>64786873
>Mil gibson got BTFO by talking about some jew
I mean, he said a lot of shit that got him into hot water.
"I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers" being one of the many
