Default Headliner of UK Rap Gig Cancelled for Trashing UK Rap

Here's hoping that the musical career of Azealia Banks has finally reached the end of the line.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with her complete body of work, here's what she puts out when she's not putting out hiphop music, via BET.com and Twitter:
Quote:
“You will be penning songs for all the pretty girls you wish you were, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.”

“Let’s find the biggest burliest blackest negroes and let them run a train on her. Film it and put it on Worldstar.”

“(T)ell (Eminem) to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sister's t**ties.”

"I don’t know why he's ashamed to just be himself. I mean he wears dresses and gives makeup tips….Just come out! Be FREEEEEE!"

"Respect the fact I was inspired by your s**t...to spend more than f***ing 30secs paying homage to it...I'll piss on ur lawn."

"Pharrell changed his mind about wanting to be associated with me after he had his lite skin comeback."

"Whoever designed that racist a** Dolce and Gabanna collection needs a swift kick in the mouth and a big d**k up the a**."

She's also been taken off a plane for going off on a flight attendant, and arrested for biting a bouncer at a club. Imagine what she's like when she loses her temper...
Quote:
Refinery29.com: ...Banks called out...former One Directioner...Zayn Malik...(because) his video for Like I Would looked a little too much like her past music videos. But she was quick to forgive, writing, "I'm not mad about this though. Zayn is a cutie pie."

Malik...decided to respond in a couple of subtweets... "No lies...I see you reaching but I don't care," he tweeted. "My @'s too good for you." Malik never specifically named Banks...but...that didn't stop (her)...

Banks called him a "hairy curry scented bitch" and "punjab." She also told him to "Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag," before calling him a "faggot"...Malik never responded...

14-year-old...Disney Channel star Skai Jackson tweeted, "Azealia Banks needs to simmer down a little." You can probably guess what happened next...

"And you need to grow some hips and start ur menses," Banks wrote..."You need to get ur ass done and your tits done before you become a proper Instagram thot girly...Your mom will be up in Disney's Office's sucking dick for your next fourth lead role!!!"

When UK hiphopper MNEK tweeted that Banks should "shut the f*** up already," here's how Azealia responded:
Quote:
"The UK really can't rap though. UK RAP is just a disgrace to rap culture in general."

"LOL, UK rappers ALWAYS lose. #BYE #GRIMESUCKS"

"UK rappers NEVER have swag. It's ALWAYS FORCED."
Apparently feeling restricted by a 140-character limit, Banks escalated the battle to Periscope. The results can be found here and here, but consider yourself warned that it's quite unrepeatable.

On June 5, Banks is scheduled to headline the second night of England's Born & Bred Festival sponsored by Rinse FM radio -- showcasing "rave-inspired dance music and soundsystem culture – from grime, hip-hop and drum ’n’ bass to house, techno, garage and beyond." Here's how the festival responded:


Being a legend in your own mind sounds like a very tough job.

Quote:
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
  • Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
  • Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
  • Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
  • Requires excessive admiration
  • Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
  • Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
  • Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
  • Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
  • Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
A minimum of five symptoms? She shows signs of all nine!

On May 8, Banks announced she was suspending her Twitter account:
Quote:
"(I)'m finally making the decision to eject from social media...(A)merican media culture is honestly so f***ing disgusting and junky and complaining about it is not going to change it. reading s***, seeing stupid ass articles and dumb b****es/bros has just really filled me up with a lot of bad feelings.

It's been a great couple of years, sharing opinions and having conversations, but i think i will be so much happier just NOT looking at this. (Americans have the WORST taste in everything.) So my friends, its time to say goodbye once and for all to this account. This account will exist no more. Time for a bit of Mystery... Goodbye."
On May 11, Twitter deactivated Banks' account -- and there was much rejoicing throughout the cyber land.

People who believe they have no faults have at least one.

Updates: After pretty much building her career on race-baiting, Azealia has joined black female divas Beyonce, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, and Foxy Brown in the inflation of her bosom and the lightening her skin.

And from her Facebook page, she's issued an apology of sorts for her use of anti-gay language:
Quote:
...The amount of people that get hurt when i use the... F****T...word vs. the amount of people I've said it to are just not worth it. Honestly... This isn't a cop out, its just me realizing that words hurt. and while i may be immune to every word and be thicker skinned than most, it doesn't mean that i get to go around treating people with the same toughness that made my skin so thick...

By using those words i paint a picture of myself that isn't the true me...someone who is used to suppressing things, and being defensive...who cannot allow themselves to be vulnerable...I'm sweet, i'm kind, i'm caring, i'm generous, i love to make people laugh and above all...I love to please and inspire others with my music and art...

To lose out on a chance to make people feel good and smile and be happy would be the dumbest thing i could do in this lifetime... I cherish the #kuntbrigade SOOO ****ING MUCH...I know that you all want nothing else for me but to see me win, and i thank the many of you who saw the beauty in me and have stuck around this far...
The good news is, it finally seems to have gotten through Azealia that her brand of "rock and roll attitude" is bad for business. The bad news is, she posted the apology 36 hours before 50 people were shot to death in a gay club.

People accused Azealia of cynically and selfishly trying to exploit the situation -- that accusation is false. But if people found it so easy to believe, that's because Azealia has presented herself as being precisely the sort of person who would apologize for her bigotry against gays only after 50 of them had been massacred.

So Azealia's chickens have come home to roost. And as for her "realizing that words can hurt," she still refers to what's left of her fan base as the Kuntbrigade?
