Although 99.9% of things she's been through she bought on herself, I'm not turning my back on a young Black Women who literally has to face this Music Industry alone! Azealia Banks is an example of what can happen to a black female with No team support, thrust into the limelight and not really knowing what to do.. I watched her go from being a Fashionista, then thinking it would be cool to be real about the Fashion Industry and how racist they are and with that she learned that overtime she talks and goes ANTI she gets publicity and that's what keeps an artist out there, on top of that she didn't want to be fake and made every opinion that went through her brain public, some plane nasty, others she become the voice of the forgotten youth. She literally went on a training ground of how to be an artist in front of our eyes, messing up and fixing in everyones face. The more she did it the more people pulled away. It takes a long time to figure out how to operate yourself properly especially when the press and media give you attention and keep you in the public eye whenever you do or say something bad! You have to look back at Amy Winehouse, she had her problems but do you not think she was aware that the most publicity she ever got was when she was a hot mess! Subconciouslhy you end up doing these things even more because you've spent your life wanting to be a superstar. Then there is the real struggle you deal with behind the scenes, industry racism, record labels, life. Azealia took pride in being an intellect that is by far more intelligent than half of the artist we see today, She flew the flag for strong young black girls that were not willing to be silenced. what we saw eventually was a young girl who really is still very young cave into the pressure, a girl who became angry because she has to fight 100 times harder than any of the other artist that weren't dark skin in her position, she sells out Festivals every summer, but where is her NME cover? She ends up having to release one of the most anticipated albums of that year independently without support, she deals with the light skin/ dark skin bullshit everyday and the once black activist now looks like she has jaundes, she cracks, she becomes bitter, she breaks down in our faces. Unlike a lot of the other artist in this business who have a team, family in the business or a crew with them at all times to protect them from this dangerous industry, Azealia Banks walks alone and although she fucked up meany times on her journey whilst learning she should be applauded for getting this far on her own two feet! I pray that she gets the support and is surrounded by a team who loves and cares for her, I pray she gets the help she needs if she is unwell and i want to see this beautiful talented young women win!
