Really digging Azelia’s new vid…and I’m totally buying that shade as well!!! Idk if it’s already been done but you guys should def do a post for different shades and colors that look great on dark skin;-)

I like the song, but is me or does all of Azealia’s music sound the same?

No shade to Iman but what’s the deal with the online mag? Why would someone care to visit such a place on a regular basis? I’d rather read the blogs by regular chicks with a voice. At least I know that is real.

Azealia’s vid takes me back in time; love it! I only wish she would diversify her lyrical content and then I’d be the captain of her bandwagon. She’s dope nonetheless.

@sun.kissed She does have music with slower beats/different flows. It’s just that her uptempo dance/house songs are getting the most play right now. Google “Nathan”, “Aquababe” or “Esta Noche”. They’re Azealia Banks songs with a different flow.
And that 1991 video is EVERYTHING! Can’t wait for her album to come out.
