The release date of her serially delayed sophomore album, ‘Digital Distortion,’ may be unclear, but that hasn’t stopped rapstress Iggy Azalea from hyping its content to her faithful fans (affectionately called #Azaleans).
Despite a leak that let listeners in on some of its sounds earlier than expected, one of the set’s most anticipated entries is the recently announced collaboration with her longtime nemesis, Azealia Banks. And, while their shocking reconciliation surprised some and pleased others, a select few weren’t exactly thrilled at news the duo was readying a duet of sorts.
Taking to Twitter recently, the ‘Team’ maestra not only defended her decision to team with Banks for a recording, but also shocked fans by announcing there will be TWO collaborations – one for each of their albums.
Read it inside:
Fans hoping to see a video for their joint effort were disappointed to learn the new song will not be a single.
OH HELL TO THE NAW *Whitney Houston voice*
I’m excited about this!! ??
Really? This sounds like mess.com, mess.org and mess.net!
I’m all for female collab in the hip hop industry. And like she said, if it means turning something that has been negative for so long into something more positive and creative, then we should be all for it too! Look forward not back.
I’m on the fence but the whole idea behind two female rappers who absolutely hate the living guts outta of each other coming together just makes me smile. I don’t think Iggy’s that bad and we all know Azealia slays her craft so this be interesting. Would definitely be a first for female rap!
Issa stunt.
I think Banks is just using Iggy for attention. She doesn’t give a damn about solidarity or positivity. I guess Iggy’s strategy is to use her right back, but if I were her, I’d pay her dust.
This will be great for both parties.. Yass Queens.
I’m actually surprisingly here for all of it
Desperate times calll for desperate measures
Azealia doesn’t like iggy s appropriation
She still uses a blaccent so what has changed for them to collab? Two weeks before this implodes
And they get to fighting in the studio like danity kane
I’m actually here for it
I think it makes sense. Why not? Though at least one of these collabs needs to be a single, meaning that if it’s not a single, they need to listen to tracks until they come up with something that sounds like a hit and then record to it.
This won’t end well. Azealia is too unstable and will go off when the songs flop.
I see nothing wrong with this, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. this is a win for both parties in my opinion.
