To me "heavy metal and reflective" symbolises her personality. She comes of as confrontational and harsh, "heavy metal". But she's reflective. She reflects back some of the flaws in society. She simply reacts. It's "the loveliest thing I've ever heard".
+Chris Melendrez As in attitude.... lol.
+mm1996 beautifully written!
+mm1996 She's reflective when she goes on her racist rants? Were you born in 1996?
I like it
+Used to be Ron I have to applaud your observance here very nice job! She is very much reflective of the racist tendencies of the systemic b******* that the media puts out a lot.
Or it could be a genre bass song talking about how black skin tends to be glowing, metallic and semi iridescent or reflective in the sun. For another example aside from this video please see my display image.
THIS IS ICONIC. I DONT CARE.
+Mah-siah A ME AND YOU BOTH
Really is.
FACTS 💯
Ohhhhhh yeah!
It’s Rxssa not true
Azealia is too good for mainstream.
Daniel Ricardo I’m utterly convinced she does not want to he mainstream. if anything that would compromise her creativity.
Exactly, I hate so much the mainstream fuck I'll ng disgusting
So if she doesn’t do mainstream what does she do ? Sounds like hip hop to me just because someone dudes in some elements of another genre doesn’t mean it’s a completely new one
@@AlexMafija I wasn't talking about music genre.
@Starchildfrom 90s TOTALLY 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
This girl have talent in every cell of her body...The more i listen to her songs the more i become addicted to them...
Same
Then listen to the "Broke with expensive taste" album
+jena jenna Same here. Love her!!!
+Cant think of a name right now ..i listen all her songs since 2011
+Tamika Richardson i do love her.
i'm honestly so angry that she isn't given the same amount of room to grow and room for forgiveness that's given to other artists, namely kanye. her sound and aesthetic was so ahead of her time and she is so fucking visonary and is a true artist. her music STILL sounds fresh, in style, and innovative nearly a decade later. shit makes me so fucking sad dude
PREACH!!!
RIGHT. Why are we not empathetic to the fact that some people need to learn things? Cancel culture is destructive and ruins artists chance of positive change. Nobody is perfect. So many people who call out celebrities probably wouldn’t be any better if in their shoes. Get off your fucking high horses
She had it hard growing up! Can’t people just move on on a 20 year old girl tweeting trash in 2015 like 🙄🙄🙄
Fr
She's one of a kind, i love her so bad
"I be lookin very giggle jelly in them dresses" That's that shit.
Favorite line in the song tbh
+Ray Noel literally
I nearly pointed that out XD
What does it mean
She bodied everything. The song, the visuals, everything. Her talent is undeniable.
I get so pissed listening watching her videos. She could be a legend..but her attitude fucks her up
No female rapper that came out in the last 10 years has dropped anything harder than this.
Big facts.
I’d say this is one of the hardest tracks in the last 10 years regardless of gender
Nope.
Without a fucking doubt 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't see why people are bugging over who's the best female rapper instead of realizing that this is the first time where there are multiple female rappers releasing music and music this year. Nicki, Iggy, Azealia, Brooke Candy, Angel Haze, Dominique Young Unique, Remy Ma, Missy Elliot. This is a great year for female rap so lets encourage that instead of bashing the other girls. Heavy Metal and Reflective is dope as fuck. I hope this blows up tbh
Your way of thinking is what I want to but it would not happen in the existence of a nicki world. The fan bases are the cause to this and has made it shady and catty. Rap girls will always continue to be put up against each other and the fans will fuel that fire..
Word
Exactly just like Eve and Missy and Kim and Remy and Foxy all were out, so could these girls. When Nicki shout outs the female rappers get fan base makes up stuff to make her go against them. The media does it too. I'm probably the only Barb who thinks this. We even have M.I.A. and Rich White Ladies and CL from 2NE1, Die Antwoord and Grimes all female rappers. We beef yup support them in all the genes and languages
real
Omg thank you!!!!!!!!!! The media is constantly putting female rappers and singers against eachother for no reason so there's no reason for the fans to do it too. Why can't we all just appreciate that there's so many amazing female rappers slaying right now????
This is the loveliest thing I've ever heard.
This song hits better today than when it was released. Yep. It was ahead of her time. Great track
I can see why she is this way because the industry do her dirty
All that motocross outfits u see the girls are wearing now, she had been donned that in 2013/2014! Always ahead.
women are wearing motocross outfits now, as a fashion statement?
@@greatpower6063 the nicki cardi motorcross song, the pabllo vittar vanita major lazer song . This aesthetic was v summer 2018.
El Diablo yes indeed put respect on Aaliyah’s name and contributions to art
neon genesis Evangelion did it first
Yup. Nicki is always behind
I'm sorry Azealia Banks came out harder than Cardi B. This gal has bars.
Allendre Kitchens !!!!! 100% true
Nicki too
Azealia writes her songs so you can't exactly compare to Cardi
Znanje Znanje no lol...
@@joelpolanco3147 are u crazy
I like that she is not fake just like most people..She has her own personality
I LOVE that, too, but I can't get past her PETTINESS, HYPOCRISY, #BLACKPOCRISY, FUCKING (REVERSE) RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, BLATANT, BOLD-FACED LYING & HER SELECTIVE MORAL-OUTRAGE 😡 I am so into brave, bold, fearless, won't-back-down-when-needed, empowered, spiritual, badass, free-thinking, independent-minded, new-paradigm, conscious, outside-the-box, odd-duck, weird types, but her CUNTNESS keeps me from embracing her 😑
@@marissasue319 i ignore the negatives,your so right but shes too inspirational for me to not absolutely idolize her.
Its crazy how this 4 years old and absolutely still sounds as fresh as ever. No one else could do this song. No. One.
8 years old now and still fresh
She did the motorsport aesthetic way before everyone else.
For clarification for you old farts that are still living in the 90s i didn’t say she did it first i said she did the motorsport aestethic before the trend that happend in the late 2010s. This video was in 2014, Supreme and Demma Gvasalia’s (current creative designer for Balenciaga) SS16 collection for Vetements incorporated motorsport clothing. Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, Fenty Puma incorporated the motorsport aesthetic in 2018.
i bet Rosalía love this video
just said thiiis
AMONGST MANY THINGS🙏🏾
Lil kim had that look in “ in the air tonight “ in 1999
Lmao
If people can separate Kanye the person from the artist, than we can still appreciate how fucking legendary Azealia is while admitting she's got a stank attitude!
She’s a better rapper than Kanye has ever been he’s always been a great producer & and a mid rate lyricists but she’s got the gift.
If she was a man this wouldn’t be a topic of conversation.
She doesn’t have a stank attitude you’re just soft and can’t handle truth tellers.
"I be PYT. You Billie Jean; you been that ex bitch."
They did a Blue Jeans remix of lana and azealia
its hardcore beats. how she raps is sick
"heavy metal and reflective goes off but idk what she’s saying sometimes I just make up the words like ‘I be at the bridal shower on the guest list..catch me in the corner by my lonesome eating chex mix …tossing turnin 1am you can call me restless…something something heavy metal and reflective"
My favorite comment here
But why are these bars tho😩
Finish me.. Flawless victory
That bridal shower line took me tf out 😩😩😭😭😭
XD
You gotta remember she used her own money to make this, and music videos are not cheap....
Budget is not everything! it starts sooo good but nothing happend! just waiting for the bam!
Azealia Banks is a millionaire...
Dj khaleds music videos cost millions and this was better then his....
Example.......
***** gaga used to spend ten million on a music video and music videos can cost over a million for the production and cast crew and she had to pay everyone from her own pocket
She is the only female rapper right now getting so many positive reviews, with no help from a man.
Yes and I love it!
***** SHES NOT A RAPPER
***** I love this song and i love her but she gets horrible reviews lol a lot people dont like her
Alexis Garcia what reviews are you looking at? Her album was given really good reviews, 1991 and Fantasea were acclaimed and so have the singles she has released.
Ed Mendoza how is she not a rapper? are you deaf?
Her best song. Periodt.
THIS SLAYED MY LIFE
Omg I like your hair! :D
!!
YES!
Azealia Banks is just too far advanced and ahead of her time for the simple minded barbz!!!
Exactly!
Milio pls. I'm a big Nicki fan but I bought every track from Azealia Banks. Her lyrics and her flow are so unique and not comparable to Nicki's. I don't say Nicki's are worse, they're just different. I love Nicki AND Azealia. There are people, who can listen to more than one female rapper. Stop with this beef already. I hope that Nicki and Azealia will slay the rap game together one day.
true!
her music is experimental and revolutionary in the hip-hop scene.
Just like Death Grips or Mykki Blanco.
Don't forget JUNGLEPUSSY, CAKES DA KILLA, LE1F, PRINCESS NOKIA,... i could go on and on, but the UNDERGROUND is where it's at!
Milio Whatshisnuts lol speak that truth b
People can't handle her but I understand her
you're obviously intelligent. She says everything others think just without filter
Same
Me too
Shut the fuck up.
I just got put on to this...this shit is FUCKING FIYAAA!!
U LATE AF KJ
Bryan J u shuttup bryan!! 👊👊👊💪
It's larenzo
from Btown??? 😲😰😰😰
Lmao
THIS IS FIREEE
Check out my music! I love Azealia!
she's next level, simply next level.
ikr!
Her music is so good! I don't care what anyone says about her
Obeyes13 Same
She has her own lane .💙
Can we get more fking recognition for this song, it's fking good!!
This chick said:
"I be V.I.P, I been new cheddar, you be guest list.
I be P.Y.T, you billie Jean, you been that ex bitch."
Cold AF
This would be a cool sountrack for Mad Max.
Haters are just mad that they will never be this cool
One of my favorites on the album
None of these rap bitches today put in half the work Banks has done in her prime. This chick is lyrical savage, her aesthetic is so ahead of it’s time and she has so much creativity. These rap girls today could never.
Nicki
@@endofaneraoutnow3473I hope She bring something new in her PF2
HEAVY METAL AND REFLECTIVE IS THE MOST ENTERTAINING MOST FIRE ANY KIND OF FAST MOTOR VEHICLE THEMED SONG…AZEALIA BANKS YOUR MIND IS ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE…
THIS IS MY FAVE SONG SHE PERFORMED I LIKED THE MOST WHEN I SAW HER CONCERT LIVE IN AUSTIN FRONT ROW 🫀🥘KUNT BRIGADE🐈⬛🏳️🌈
STILL NOBODY around fkn with Azealia. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Azealia Banks is the best female in rap and far ahead of many of the males too. She's the only person who's actually doing something new and refreshing and exciting. Comparing Azealia Banks to Nicki Minaj or god forbid Iggy Azalea is a complete slap to the face. It's time to evolve people.
true
True!!
💯
Exactly ! That's why she said she will have the most innovative hip hop album to date! That goes for men and women! I love that shit for her and she's still so young with that much skill
Bro you just high to realise that nicki and iggy is better than her
fun fact: this is Lana Del Rey's favorite song by Azealia Banks ;)
Franklin Alberto SHOOK
Franklin Alberto how do you know? I wanna see the receipts?
Dionicio Baca lana del rey posted this song when bwet came out
Dionicio Baca i know because i'm always keeping up with lana and azealia and i remember her saying that from an interview and she tweeted the link that azealia tweeted a while ago too
This is my favorite song by her too.
I think she's one of the best artist today. She just needs to work on her attitude and priorities
I aspire to have her "Idgaf" attitude one day 😍😂
😂😂😂😍😍🙌 me everyday
Vanilla Willfred same
@@floweeditsblazeorbeblazed3408 LOL, SAME HERE 😁😎🖕🏽
I’m getting thereo
Way before motorsport. AB is the blueprint. PERIOD.
if this was Iggy Azalea's song she would get a grammy sweep
The sad fucking truth.
shit i wish she could rap like this, then shed actually deserve that Grammy sweep. her shit is wack. i don't even know how she got nominated for anything.
Phucking ugly truth
Lmao she couldn't even do a song this good tho
KNONAM too bad Iggy could never produce anything so high quality
Her producers are Bonkers with those tracks!
You may not like how she acts, but you can't deny she's the best female in the rap business.
Besides a bad attitude and undeserved sense of entitlement Azealia Banks drops another record that is more interesting and artistic than anything else in the game. I always look forward to her singles. But seriously - the album. Where is it? We, the people, need it.
***** I would love to agree but she doesn't chart. So, it is undeserved entitlement. Until she hits number 1 and breaks some records... she lacks creds. I tell it like is. Sorry bout it.
***** I guess he/she charted somewhere since she wants to come on azelia's video premier and talk trash. #gofigure
*****
I think it's funny when people call me basic on the internet. LOL. Don't get me wrong, I root for Banks because she's got more talent than more than half of the people on the charts right now. But unfortunately, those charts are very important. You can argue with me all day. Despite her major achievements, she still has to break mainstream and keep breaking it until she's becomes permanent. She hasn't been doing that. I knew my comment would spark arguments but it's my opinion and I'm not gonna waste time on CZcams bitching about it. I got my own records to break and charts to top.
Wow. Bitches be hateful. Whatever.
Brandyn Monstre nobody hateful girl. You obviously pressed.. This young girl is doing well for herself. Forbes cash princess no album out. Performing at plenty of venues. Mac. I mean she's only 23, just wait on it.
The most talented black rapper of them all, pple!
Ur right m8
She is! She's just crazy lol
Black rapper? You said that like most of them aren’t black tf? It’s a genre they created 😂😭
Ariana Racquel black people created all genres of music
Azealia Banks is fucking dope, no matter what all the insecure people who lack a back bone might say.
13blanket She's equal parts brilliant and ridiculous.
13blanket YAAASSSSS!!! They all holding on to their wigs when they see her with that idgaf attitude and her talent
Azealia is talented sad the world shut her off she deserves the same success as the big names in the industry.
this is the original motomami
Queen of rap!
This beats are so sick and Azealia's rap is fierce as fuck, love it
the more i hear from her, the more i see how ahead of her time she was. amazing, just amazing.
This song should last longer!
All her songs are always too short ;(
+Floweed Its Blaze or be Blazed lol l8r and atlantis tho
repeat them ad infinitum
This song still goes off 2 years later
“Find me in the bor•ough if you’re thor•ough” is an amazing rhyme-
THE REAL MOTOMAMI
The word 'Motomami' didn't even exist before Rosalía so how does that work Gabriel
Probably one of the hardest tracks from back in the day for me 🔥
azealia's sound is avant-garde and if you can't understand what her music is about then open a new fucking tab and do some research. In my opinion she is a lyrical genius, she can sing and her style is unique and is like no other in the industry right now. She is unconventional and her shit isn't boring to listen to unlike others who are actually chart topping. She's controversial and interesting, confident with her abilities and just generally fucking bold. Open your mind further beyond what your eyes and ears present to you or just stay reaching cause you're a hater and you're basic af
DID WE JUST BECOME BESTFRIENDS?! lol
Totally agree with u man.
Preach!
YAS
Yessss. Nailed it. She is a lyrical genius. No one compares
Authenticity. That's Azealia Banks
This will forever be fire
Azealia is in a league of her own, what she did in this video has never been done. Incredible.
I'd say the best fllow I've heard in 10 yrs or so.
I will always love this song. Miss Banks, you're the best in the rap game.. and that's for sure! We need you back... You have to stick around and show them again how it's done ! You can do it - I believe in you!
this was so slept on
the quality of her artwork is so amazing she can legit talk trash until she dies. i will still come back here to listen. the one & only AB!!!
Her flow is crazy! Soooo underrated.
this and Fierce are two timeless, iconic songs that were way ahead of the time imo
BEST RAPPER NOWADAYS. PERIODTT.
Doesn't matter what she does for the rest of her life, 212 is still the best song ever made to me. Listened to it over 250 times on the iTunes and never got tired of it. :)
Tbh 212 isnt really one of my favs, shes my fav, & I've listened to like..all of her songs ever lol..212 is a work of art but It doesnt fall in my top 5, well maybe at #5
top 1 for me :D
Only over 250 times? Weak. So many people love '212' but it's not her greatest song. It was the first (or maybe second) song I had ever heard by her and I think it's what hooked me onto her. I liked it for a month or two and now I barely listen to it. Like the other person above, it's not in my top 5 either.
Dancingqueen2700 1991 is what got me hooked..but most of her slept on, less popular songs are my favs
I've probably listened to it more, but it's 250 on iTunes alone.
this is my shit
my shit to. she's amazing
Goes harder than vroom vroom
Moana Uea charli ain’t a rapper at all
i don't get the comparison, isn't this like a "sub genre" of music or something? I've heard similar sounds before like in some car movies' score
Legend. Didn't deserve all that negativity. Can't wait for your come back.
So ahead of its time
miss banks, welcome back indeed
Shessss soooo gooooood, I wish people acknowledged this more.
I wish she did more stuff like this. This is the sickest track she’s made imo. On repeat for days. She reminds me of a mix of Remy ma, Trina, Lil Kim, and Missy Elliot.
she does do a lot like this listen to her albums
sickest MV in YEARSSSSS
This one and Rico Nasty - Magic
The way this still slaps
I used to listen to this to get pumped before job interviews
Azealia is the Best female rapper of all time
Her flow is infectious.
She's so 90'
shes not using technology to make her voice and sound perfect she using real vocals and sounds thats why she so 90. yes she so 90' and bringing back real music its home again with creative art.
asd qwe there’s surprisingly more technology used in her voice than u think
@@KEGS211 bitch where.. Stfu
She can have an i dont care attitude, but this is the BOSS......
I just keep watching your old videos over and over again. I can’t help it.
fashion queen ahead of time
That's the loveliest thing I've ever heard 😘🥰❤
I love this woman I will never not support her. I've been here since 2012 and never faltered! We Kunts are the strongest, most resilient fanbase! we have weathered storms!!!!
"I be PYT, you Billie Jean, you been that ex bitch!" LMAO THAT LINE IS FIREEE
How can one person consistently be so amazing?
The beat dropped and now my ass wont stop shaking.
Bro as far as her music goes this track is IT
Still fire in 2020
Everytime I come back to listen shit keeps getting better.
Still here in 2020 cause the TALENT
broke with expensive taste is a goddamn masterpiece
This is still the loveliest thing I've ever heard !
