Azealia Banks: A Tale Of Embarrassment & Exhaustion
Centuries from now, historians will posit the question: “Whatever happened to Broke With Expensive Taste?” They’ll pore over Twitter logs and iTunes sales records, studying grainy Instagrams and Terry Richardson’s old backup hard drives. They’ll reach out to Pharrell, who will still look like he’s 25, and he’ll respond with a terse, “No comment.” And gradually, they’ll piece together the tale of how a hotly tipped young rapstress killed her own career through a humiliating parade of self-aggrandizement and delusions of grandeur, by espousing the use of homophobic slurs and feuding with her contemporaries, until the public was so exhausted with her that everyone just gave up. And they’ll put on “212” and say, “Man, this was a good song. Too bad Azealia was so awful.” —SAM LANSKY
