Azealia Banks fires shots at Doja Cat and Kendrick Lamar in an IG rant.
Azealia Banks once again went off on social media as she made a huge IG story rant and targeted Doja Cat and Kendrick Lamar. The rant is in reference to Doja Cat’s new song “Attention” where she performed in boom-bap rap style, and then Banks dragged Lamar while referring Doja with “Doja Lamar”.
“I really be wanting to like Doja’s music but it’s all just sooo try hard,” she began. “Her first album was actually cool as hell….it was her own authentic art voice. Doja doesn’t have the theater training/authentic hunger needed to seamlessly be the master of genre she’s trying to be. She sounds like a white girl that grew up in a house. It’s not giving that pi**y stairwell/bacon egg and cheese/vanilla dutch nyc energy she’s reaching for. But it’s also def a cali thing. California rap culture is simply just not as dynamic/impactful/swagged out as east coast/southern rap culture sh*t.”
She continued: “It’s like purposely inoffensive and caters to paper shoe Tom and matted hair Abigail. Ughhh, Doja Lamar is not the artistic statement she wants it to be. Like her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze nyc WANNABE levels of boring rip pity rap/cheesy soho white boy hypebeast circa ’06. Like she’s giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identify crisis vibes. Then like the obvious @uglyworldwide swaggerjacking is just a big ball of NYC wannabe. Lol sis, these rap ni**as are d**kriders and are def gonna gas you like you ate it, but I’m telling you this with love….. This is DUMB corny.”
“More thoughts on Doja Lamar… To be fair Kendrick got some cool hooks and melodies, but I think he’s mad overrated and extremely complacent. I don’t care to argue about ghostwriters, because who cares, but nah… Kendrick dead a*s has white ghostwriters writing about the black struggle n sh*t. I’ve heard some feature verses from him that were dope, but he be making that kind of rap music that allows white people to indulge in weird fetishization of ‘the black struggle’ to patronize and absolve themselves of any real world responsibility because they think being a Kendrick fan is proof that they are ‘Allies.’”
“(Kendrick is really bugging if he thinks he’s f**king with Drake on any day. I LOL’ed hard at that little sub he threw Drake and laughed EVEN HARDER at him thinking he’s skilled enough to put his name in the same sentence with Jay. Like my ni**a, u r not f**kin with Wayne/Drake /Styles P/Jadakiss/Nicki Minaj/Remy Ma/OR Azealia Banks. Please sit down and be humble. Cali rap ni**as highkey have ZERO swag. No offense but y’all are really on some nerd sh*t. And not like, hot f**kable Donald Glover Black culture nerd sh*t. Like y’all really are the most unappetizing nerdy friend zone type rap ni**as lmaooo”
“Kendrick be HELLA GASSEDD lmfaooooo I dare him to think he’s f**kin w/ jadakiss/cyhi da prince/lil Kim/DMX/bun b/ghost face… like I can make a list of 200 rappers that are hotter than Kendrick LMAOO”
She then concluded things with teasing her own music. “Sh*t, I may as well just drop these rap records and show bi**hes AND ni**as how to *actually* thug it out. These rappers r soft as f**k b. I legit cannot resist the urge to just burst ni**as bubble lmao.”
