In retrospective, it makes sense why she never "made it" (i hate that expression) back in the early 10s. No one was doing it like her back then. Just think about the popular songs back then... Nothing was ever remotely close to this sound! She was so ahead of her time, and to think that she was just 19-21 when she came up with all these songs... Not a single artist before or after her will ever match her, and I hope ppl will come to their senses and realize the amazing talent she has.

[@matheomayordomo4397]

This song is literally a craft of genius. She snatchd house music from the 90s and refurbished the old rap bits with a modern bk rap. This is the quality you would expect from an art school alumni very much like 2pac and she really delivered. Artists live mentally in two different logical and abstract worlds most of the time but sometimes the stress from one can make a person vacate residency for the other entirely. Artistic genius and sanity tread a fine line.

I feel that if "1991" was a full LP, promoted mainstream, and if Azealia had gotten her act together, then it would have been an iconic album because what rap artists you know right now would dare put house music and hip-hop together the way she did?

cuz shes black AND crazy

[@lXaviiNavarro]

Cause people don't like her problematic personality. I personally live for her lol also helps that I can separate the artist from the art

[@pavladavlas]

Well, when you show the world just how much of an asshole you are again and again and again, people tend to reject anything you put out there pretty quick. Her being black has nothing to do with it; her genre is predominantly controlled by people of colour. She’s just an extremely trashy person.

[@ck05211]

Honestly if Beyoncé and Drake wanted to do it right they would approach her and have Azealia write a whole album for them. All they would have to do is cut her a nice size check and make sure she get credit. That's the smart move.

[@theafricanbarbie3458]

Unfortunately they did. Beyoncé and AZ was supposed to release a song like four years ago, but then the whole chicken killing in the closet thing happened and Beyoncé and her team stepped away. Understandably so ,but does she low-key just release Azealia‘s whole sound.

She isn‘t more problematic than most of the male rappers, chill and give her the respect she deserves for her creativity

[@valstarxiii]

True.

[@hottieschicken]

This is always what I say. Not defending the problematic things she has done but let’s be real if she were white and/or a man she would get so much more leniency and forgiveness than she does. I can’t bring myself to hate her when Chris Brown and Dr. Luke are still out here thriving.

[@tinskull8132]

@@hottieschicken this 100%. people seem to focus in on how nasty she is just because she’s a woman and she’s black it’s a subconscious narrative that society spins. She’s definitely problematic, but as you say, if she was a male rapper people would let it slide. Fascinating and fucked up how people’s perspectives change simply because she’s female. So many male rappers are much more problematic and controversial than her and have literally murdered people and done terrible things, but when azealia makes offensive comments it’s blown out of proportion.

[@Gemini053]

@@tinskull8132 Not to mention doesn't she have health issues. (Not saying that what she did was right or that her mental health issues is an excuse)

[@nintendokings]

@@hottieschicken you really think if she was white she’d get away with all the homophobic and racist shit she’s been spewing? Hell no, she’d be canceled even more. Now if she was a black male ‘gangster rapper’ then yeah, they’d get away with it. So many rap songs filled with homophobia and sexism, it’s almost celebrated
