Since blazing into the mainstream with ’212′, Azealia Banks has ensured her name is hot on the lips of many. Indeed, a potent potion of beef, virals, and visuals have made the New Yorker a staple in the minds of the masses.
Now, it seems, the budding star is ready to show and prove with new single ‘Yung Rapunxel’. Due out on March 26th, the Lil Internet produced cut is the “first” to be lifted from Banks’ hotly anticipated album debut ‘Broke With Expensive Taste’. So what better way to get folk talking than with a super out-there single cover.
Seemingly paying homage to her outspoken M.O, the edgy shot sees the femcee’s eyes replaced with her mouth. Cue the “illuminati” chants in, 3, 2…

I’m getting Grace Jones vibes from this. But Grace would’ve actually looked fierce. Azealia just looks like she’s trying too hard to be edgy and in-your-face.
P.S. IIRC, her “hotly anticipated” album was supposed to come out LAST September. Then it got pushed back to February. Now I guess the actual release date is still in limbo.

At this point the only thing folks are here for are the album sales numbers.
No one care about the artwork, no one care who she’s collaborating with, no one cares how many singles drop or many times her album gets pushed back.
Time to put your money where your mouth is AB, we’re all waiting for your numbers.

FOR ALL YOU SILLY FOOLS THAT DON’T KNOW NO BETTER SHE DID NOT STEAL THIS FROM ANYONE NEW OR CURRENT IN MUSIC. SHE GOT THIS IDEA FROM GRACE JONES- SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM COVER. WHEN I LOOK AT THE COVER I SEE A STATEMENT MORE OF: IM EATTING ALL BITCHES IN MY EYE SITE” NOTHING DARK. I LIKE IT VERY MUCH HER 1991 EP COVER WAS A HOMAGE TO GRACE JONES AND SO IS THIS COVER.

She probably lying, just about everything she says is a lie with an almost year past due album. Then she got the nerve to start twitter beefs and run her mouth, now this photo parody’s Grace Jones and copies the Queen’s screaming pose!!!!!! You demon hoe!!!! Go somewhere and go help Krim Jung Li with her wanna be asian tranny face and her invisible career!!!!!!!
