"No post on Azealia Bank's first full mixtape release Fantasea?"
Fri Jul-13-12 12:31 PM by BigReg

  

          

The juggernauts that are the new Frank Ocean & Nas albums seems to have crushed all other hype in their paths.

Overall? It goes pretty hardbody. Musically it's all dance music and follows from late 80's house & 90's techno up unto the current eurotrash sound that rules the airwaves. My favorite nod is the throwback to the late '00's french electro fad of remixing 90's r&b into heavy ass bass drops(112 is the victim).

The rapping is SURPRISINGLY strong, she's channeling 90's Lil Kim but at a much higher skill level. For someone who kind of swore off being a rapper, she probably only sings on 5% of the album. Some of the songs meander but at around 17 full songs it's not surprising that there is some fat in the mix...probably only 3 stinkers and its more of the fact they are boring as opposed to being shitty ideas in themselves.

Many hardcore female rappers in the past had the problem of balancing the traditionally hyper-masculine role of a tough mc while trying to stay feminine. She beats that formula by rapping hard as shit over spare club beats; it knocks but helps the vibe still stay playful.

It's a really solid piece of work; no where near the other big releases this week but a pretty fucking promising start. It should make its way into more then a few summer bbq/picnic playlists.

What happened to her and M.I.A.'s career would be an interesting study. You've got M.I.A. and the much more talented Santigold following the same general producers and blueprint. After M.I.A.'s breakthrough album she drops something experimental as hell that gets shitted on (but is on the low pretty damn solid). Santi drops the safest album she can get that gets decent reviews, but is pretty goddamn boring.

It just feels that outside of the heavier dub feel its the same album again.

her technical talents are limitless but she'll be counted out by critics who refuse to be impressed by anything, rolling with the backlash of her controversies

the only thing holding her back is lack of content (dick, pussy, fashion, being the shit overall), but i dont know how much we should expect from a 20 year old Harlemite thrust into the fast life

she's great though, a favorite of mine

Yeah. She might not get that Minaj paper (with three times the talent). What's fascinating is that on paper she's doing what Minaj is doing; taking hip-hop and trying to rock over club beats.

But while Minaj is rapping over techno-pop beats so bad that Ace of Base would laugh, Azealia selection goes tough; it's much more likely to get play in a real dance club late night or one of Skrillex's megaraves.

I've been a fan of hers, but didn't really think she could hold up over an entire album...I was wrong, way wrong.

A lot of these tracks have been out for a while, but I think most of them actually sound better in the context of the album.

She has a proper album coming out in the fall right? That's kind of ridiculous cause this tape will most likely end up on my best of 2012 list.

If she'd stick to the old school house joints she'd be one of my favorite artists.

...and I only hear a slight likeness in that particular track.

edit: Us has a commercial sound as well and is my least favorite, but neither track takes away from the mixtape as a whole.

She needs to quit with all the dramatics and cash in on this Hip-Hop/Hip-House phase while it's hot. I don't listen to her music much at all, but this seems like her genre, as if she's native to it. There is no one except Nicki Minaj in that lane right now, she needs to control that lane asap if that's what she wants to do and stop it with all the Twitter stuff.

I'll be giving this release a listen.
