    She”s so pretty, her music video are always done really good. i’m definitely checking for her album when it drops.

    • the realest September 2, 2012

      loved it but it could’ve been a lil bit more uptempo to match the song.

      1991 is a straight dance song and a lot of this was beauty shots. Would have been nice to see her in a club/rave/underground scene to take it to the next level…

      • CHILE PLEASE!! September 2, 2012

        @ the realest…..girl getcha life….it’s not all about the club scene & being over the top….this video gave everything is should have given. She was giving face, s** appeal, a little dance movements, & giving the kids life!! She’s not a big superstar yet with a big budget to go all out for an extravagant video. Now every empty chair in your house have a seat in each one.

    LOVE HER FLOW, LOVING THE 90’S THEME. GET IT BANKS!

  3. Seriously September 2, 2012

    This is amazing! She brings something fresh and new to the table. I’m loving her old-school fashion sense, sound, etc. I hope she makes it really big, do your thing Azealia!

  4. MOTHER-MONSTER September 2, 2012

    YASSSS, you betta werk. you giving me face K***

  5. haute hottie September 2, 2012

    YESSSS! She givin me some ol Foxy Brown from back in the day, B**** I can get into some Azealia Banks! I like her raw appeal, its not too much commercial, its new, its fashion its simple. . . This is the kind of imagery I want from Nicki Minaj. . . I love Nicki flow, but I be feelin like there just be too much cotton candy foolery. . . I wish they could just do a collab I would just love it.

      PREACH!

  6. Beyhive September 2, 2012

    who ever dose her videos does a really good job since she dosen’t have a huge budget and what not. some part reminds me of aaliyah we need a resolution video. she’s gorgeous tooo. me likey

    • Emmi3 September 3, 2012

      exactly when she sitting at the table she is channeling AALIYAH . I loved it <3 i have been loving this chick since she came out. Dont care that she has a fight going on here and there every now and then. I mean she is a b**** and b****** do that 🙂 So she can get away with it. Love me Some Azealia Banks

  7. Es September 2, 2012

    So hot! Her videos keep getting better. I love the 90s feel and someone said earlier about she’s reminiscent of foxy brown. I agree. Azealias in a class of her own tho. Wish I didn’t have to wait til February for the album drop.

  8. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) September 2, 2012

    I’m starting to really like this girl. Say what you will about her personality, but her videos are always worth seeing and creative! She knows how to work a camera and make an amazing clip out of a relatively low budget, as opposed to a certain rival of hers who gets these big budgets and ends up looking awkward and boring 😉 Just saying…

    • virtuoso intellect September 2, 2012

      exactly and the really baffling bit is that in her PF visuals, Nicki actually delivered believable performances. She has steadily regressed since stupid h**. I thought starships was the worst video of 2012 till she released pound the alarm. it’s like she knows grown folks will be shaking their heads at her and she’s embarrassed to be making the video. I say that bcuz she did a much better, albeit non-impressive job on BIIT and IAYL

      • Queen Brit Brit September 2, 2012

        Its even sadder considering her age. The flop b**** is 30 and shes singing songs that Cher Lloyd could be singing

  9. the real xoxo September 2, 2012

    she is easily my favourite new artist of 2012.

  10. truth tea September 2, 2012

    her mixtape “FANTASEA” is my fave mixtape of the year

  11. millhouse September 2, 2012

    I love video… its so 90’s… Al lot of people are sleep on this girl

  12. toohotfortv September 2, 2012

    love it!

  13. Iconic Iggy September 2, 2012

    The Liquorice video was better.

    Beat Down is #44 on the U.K Singles Chart and #10 on the U.K Dance Chart.

    • Queen Brit Brit September 2, 2012

      Iggy is winning

    • Dollar$ign$kills September 2, 2012

      This is news to me. Congrats to Iggy on her first charting song! Didnt think the U.K was in to her

    • haute hottie September 2, 2012

      Iggy is so pretty, but Iggy ain’t about that young Rap life. . . but I’m not gon snatch her wig she is pretty like a porcelain doll tho.

      • FAF September 3, 2012

    • Getting Better September 2, 2012

      You Iggy stans kill me trying to make that fraud trash of a rapper happen, and then have the nerve to come on one of Azealia’s post and try to boast of her “accomplishments”. Have several seats. Azealia is superior to this fraud in every way. She utterly destroys her on the mic and as an artist overall. It is blasphemy to even compare such trash to Azealia at this point. 212 is currently number 8 on UK’s urban charts and 50 on their singles chart after being on there for over 30 weeks. At this point, it’s a waste of time to even list the rest of her chart history and accomplishments which are far superior to anything Iggy has accomplished to this date after being touted as the next greatest thing by XXL. Once you Iggy stans realize that the fraud is nothing but an inferior white version of the Diamond’s and Trina’s of the world, then the better you will be able to accept her inevitable flop in this industry. She should just stick to modeling. Looks is about the only thing she has on Azealia and that is debatable, but the talent and success compared between the two is not even up for debate. Your best bet is to compare her to the Kreayshawn’s and the Honey Cocaine’s of the world because a fraud female rapper with a fake Southern accent will never compare to a real female rapper from NY. She is inferior in every way. Get over it.

      • MELODY2012 September 3, 2012

        Azealia get over yourself…stay out of the blocks….

    • Isabel_T September 3, 2012

      Uhhh…Azealia’s 212 stayed at number 11 on the British charts for months. And got in the top 5 in several European countries.

      Oh also, there is the fact that, no matter how “nice” she may seem, and no matter how long hair ponytail or big her booty, she CANNOT RAP.

      She’s roughly on Kreayshawn’s level. Maybe a little lower.
      I would support her as a model.
      As a rapper? Hell nah. I know she wouldn’t have ever gotten that gig if she were a sista. Not with those “skills”, or lack thereof.

      • Isabel_T September 3, 2012

        I’m talking about Iggy, for those who care

  14. virtuoso intellect September 2, 2012

    I want her to win sooooooo bad. Her artistry is worthy. I hope she hastn burned too many bridges. Im not really sure what the point of releasing 4 videos from a 4-track EP is but im gonna respect her hustle/ marketing team. I just hope a concrete plan is in place for her debut album release. Nicki coulda done so much for hip hop but she blew it. she instead focused on the fastest way to grab every possible endorsement as possible and cheap sugar-sick pop hits

  15. Queen Brit Brit September 2, 2012

    She pushed back her album to 2013 because she knows it would flop harshly it came out this year. She can keep pushing it back, it wont make a difference. She’ll be lucky to pass 20k world wide her first week.

  16. CHILE PLEASE!! September 2, 2012

    YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…….NOW THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! REAL HIP-HOP WITH THE THROW BACK QUEEN LATIFAH IE. “DON’T MAKE ME WAIT TO COME INTO MY HOUSE……GIVE ME BOOOOOOODY!!” TYPE FLOW! LOVE THIS CHICK!! NICKI….WATCH YOUR WIG HONEY BECAUSE YOU’RE ABOUT TO GET SNATCHED!!!

  17. Dollar$ign$kills September 2, 2012

    I love the 90’s vibe to this. Its not over the top but its not basic. I really cant see how the VMA’s slept on her work. I hope the EMAs will correct that mistake. Shes bigger in Europe anyways.

    Also hope BET starts giving her shine. She is rising and shes too talented for them to ignore. They need to jump off T***** Garbaj’s d*** start supporting a real artist who actually has talent.

  18. plastic September 2, 2012

    trash

  19. S****** Blonde September 2, 2012

    Madonna’s references everywhere, i’m surprised nobody noticed this, this is how you pay tribute to a Legendary artist not the way Lady Gaga does it. I really like the video, great job.

  20. Jaiyah September 2, 2012

    She reminds of Krystal Waters and Cece Peniston from back in the day. I like it.

  21. Getting Better September 2, 2012

    This is by far her best video to date. It shows improvement. BTW, love the homage she pays to Aaliyah in this. R.I.P. Babygirl

  22. LTM September 2, 2012

    This is a rip off of The Last Song video.

  23. prettigurlrockD September 2, 2012

    I don’t care for her music nor did I like this song but her music videos are bomb. She is a very pretty girl.

  24. aishaaguilerakeys September 3, 2012

    Always the samebeat, the vid’s ok, though.

  25. FAF September 3, 2012

    @AISHAAGUILERAKEYS

    YES B****!!! SAME BEAT & SAME ARRANGEMENT ON EVERY SONG W/ THAT SINGING PART AT THE END,,,, THIS H** NEEDS A REJUVENATION!! WHY SHE PUSH THAT FLOP ALBUM BACK???? 2013??? NEXT IT’LL BE 2044 😀

  26. LOURDES September 3, 2012

    Her whole persona gives me 90’s supermodel and I FRICKIN LOVE IT!!! hahaha

  27. Cecily September 3, 2012

    Now we know, that no matter how beautiful, for a non-plastic, non-pumped up, dark skinned young girl like herself to get signed to a major label could ONLY happen if she was INSANELY talented. Not kinda talented, but HUGELY talented.

    And she is. She raps like a beast- bars for days, lyrically complex- and she sings with a damn vibrato.

    But…it doesn’t hurt that now her beauty IS being presented to the world to see…and actually, working in her favor! I’m seeing white boys and black boys and everything in between talking about how s*** or gorgeous she looks, and I wonder if she knows what changes she’s making!

    Just my thoughts.

  28. Paul September 4, 2012

    This b**** is FIERCE HONEY!!!! First female rapper that has got me excited since Missy, Kim and Foxy…NM is a joke she copied kim again in the IAYL video – green wig/bubble bath so Year 2K miss thang! Your coloured wigs are about to be snatched!
