It's not reggae, it's new york slang which is influenced by Caribbean accent and culture as in London which is why people thought Banks is British. Her voice style here is classic House mixed with rap, and neo soul. Back in the 90s, black vocals over House edm like La Bouche "Wanna Be My Lover" Crystal Waters "Gypsy" Mark "Return of the Mac" Fatboy Slim "Song for Shelter" and Haddaway "What Is Love" was the thing and she radiates that throwback NYC culture, juxtaposed with modern hip hop. She really is iconic for this like it or not right? However I agree that she switched between several genres and ranges.

When she finally hit the stage, the auditorium literally vibrated; even bitches serving beer were concerned asf lol She was fashionably late, of course, but delivered a powerhouse performance with just one outfit and no dancers. When she pulled out that megaphone, I knew she’s stayed true to her artistry. She has a strong following, selling out shows from LA to Sydney (this year) I used to separate an artist’s private life from their art, but nowadays, it’s hard to ignore the problematic aspects but because now in general people associate you are okay with their behavior if you listen to them.

These reason why the public hasn't embraced her music is because its fucking trash.

[@e.d.mcmillan6402]

While I agree with your overall point, Ryan, I do think she'd get way less flak, and possibly be embraced by the mainstream a la Kanye, if she were a man. She's a genius, but the American public prefers their women a lot more comatose.

[@e.d.mcmillan6402]

She's only 23. Kayne was 27 when his first album dropped. Give her time.

[@nanayabiness2018]

Your comment makes the most sense.

[@ladytron999]

This chick is the real deal, I think. Like Bjork, Jack White, Brian Eno, Q-tip. She's bat shit crazy and incredibly creative. She's ahead of her time and making a new sub genre of hip-hop. She has said some stupid sh*t but who cares. Her music contribution is still incredibly important. The thing with Iggy is pointless, it's not iggys fault she was nominated for a Grammy (even though A. Banks is clearly the better artist). Kanye is a genius mixer but he can't spit like Jay z or this chick...In fact he's pretty terrible at verse. I do love a lot of his tracks, though.

Nah, man! Be happy you can experience it as a novel, great song now. You have the benefit of already knowing she self-sabotaged. It's heartbreaking for me; i wanted to be a fan so much, but it's the hateful personality, attacking great artists with no provocation that did it for me.
