Get into ‘Jumanji’, the latest effort by Azealia Banks.
The lead single for her ‘Fantastic‘ mixtape due out this summer, it arrives three weeks after the MC announced her signing to Lady GaGa’s management team- headed by Troy Carter.
Listen below…
On a production front, the cut ‘slays’ but on a vocal tip it really is more of the same.
For, as quick and witty as her lyrics are, they’re almost identical to almost every other number she’s put out- suffering from the same ‘I’m better than you and I’m going to talk about it in every song‘ syndrome Nicki Minaj has.
We’d say- if she wants a follow up as huge as ’212′ her best bet is to whip up songs akin to MIA’s ‘Galang‘ and her very own ’1991‘, as we doubt ‘Jumanji’ will do much to win over new listeners.

She goes in on every song I’ve heard so far. I hope she keeps it up and doesn’t get lazy. Kudos Ms Banks.

The only problem is that she is using some stuff repeatedly from other cuts, but this is what majority rappers do so I am not really mad, i just know she has so much more to inspire us with! @Sam what the hell are you talking about “vocal tip” she’s rapping on this cut not singing. Jumjani is really nice, but i have been waiting for 1991 single to come out forever now! lol

Sorry but this song is not it. Please stop acting like this song in anything but garbanzo beans. Seriously I cannot believe some of you actually think this is “fire” & I’m not even a Lil Kim or Nicki stan! Don’t see or hear the hype. This girl’s lyrical ability is sad. Very repetitive & redundant.

Lmao! Yall are too quick to say Nicki Minaj sucks but yet you cosign this shit? Wtf did I just hear? At least Nicki spat straight fire back on her mixtape days & when she’s not lazy! This is a fucking mess! Yall hyping this girl too much, her skills are not what I expected them to be compared to what I was hearing about her.

Why? I loved her 212 cut! But this song is horrible! She needs to do better cause all I heard was noise. Why can’t 2 female rap artists co exist in this industry? Nicki & Azealia are like night & day! They can’t be compared cause they look different, they sound different, & they are appealing to different audiences. She won’t be replacing anybody. If Lil Kim couldn’t erase Nicki, who Nicki has stated many times is a rap icon, than this newcomer won’t do the task as well. Keep reaching for the stars tho.

Outside of her having a nasty attitude, and vexed persona, she bores me. More concerned with beef and drama than her music or musical content. I don’t have time for this lil girl. Traditional Hater Mentality,very typical with NY Rappers… smh

Aaaahhh…..I don’t understand what she is saying. I love hip hop to my bones. I appreciate her attempts. So far 212 is the only joint that has my attention. It’s straight to the point. Clean spitting. Give me more of that or else I’m gonna have to try to get back on my grind and show you way rap is about.

I instantly fell in love with “212″ and “Fuck Up The Fun”, but I have to give this a few more listens. But as of now, I don’t like what I’m hearing.

its called lyrical exercise (which she mastered btw).. its not for everyone but if you really listen to the song you can understand clearly. not every rapper male or female can do what shes doing wit her words and she kno that. its actually ridiculous how advanced she is for her to be so young… dont care much if people think her attitude sucks cuz her music speaks for itself.. Nicki garbaj aint got shit on her cept a two piece thighs and center breast wit a side of batshit crazy
