i don't understand what you are saying in your nicki reference. are you talking about nicki or azealia? either way, it's absurb. if you are saying that "when nicki does dance she is dance but when nicki does rap she is nicki" then you clearly don't realise nicki's spectrum of musical influence and interest. nicki is not only rap and for you to tell her she isn't herself unless she only does rap is just, well, it's just so typical of the music section here. if that is not what you were saying and you were instead saying that azealia banks is nicki when she raps, i have to disagree. hugely. incredibly. there's a reason why (and i'm a big nicki fan, big up barbz) people slate nicki on pretty much every mention of azealia. they are barely alike and people see azealia as a fresh alternative to what they don't like about onika. more or less, don't tell people they can't blend dance or pop with rap. i already explained why so if you are lost for words you can go back and read my prior posts. err, also, i don't think katy b was getting the attention that azealia is getting. at all, it doesn't even compare. what the heck is 'urbanising dance'? dance music is very urban and has been before katy b or azealia banks. it's kind of telling when you look at all the dance and pop artists that have rap verses or features on their biggest tracks for years and years back. i really want to believe you are talking out of your neck but half of me thinks you are actually validating these thoughts in your brain.
i have to say that it is funny that you call her 'this amelia or w.e woman' when you clearly know her name. i mean, you listened to 212 and now you're listening to liqourice. let's not play dumb for the sake of our arguments! we know you know her name. i mean, i know you know her name.
have a nice evening, lamar.
