Azealia Banks: "Janet is the Queen of Pop"

I'm always grateful when this important and highly respected artist weighs in.

[quote] argue with ur mom

Sorry, can't take seriously anyone who says "ur"

Girls, girls, you’re both hasbeens.

Celia Rubenstein was a friend to all mankind…..

WHO???!!!!!!

Azealia -- Girl, just because that wasn't YOUR experience doesn't negate other people's experience. Let people admire who they want.

Perhaps if she was influenced by Madonna she would have had a more successful career.

Janet's streams are in the gutter. People hype her up to spite Madonna but don't listen to her music.

she's inspired by Madonna enough to run her mouth about Madonna.to get ink and attention, She's inspired to suck up to Janet Jackson, who probably doesn't give two shits about her and maybe even questions if she's really black.

[quote]I've been more influenced by beyonce Janet and chaka than Madonna.

[quote]No way In hell we're about to keep this crunchy old white coochie worship going .

Hmm. I see what's going on here.

I always think it's hilarious when never-was types think you care about who inspired them.

It was not Haitian immigrants, it was Azealia Banks!!

Before Madonna, record companies did not invest nearly as much in their female artists as they did their male artists. Madonna's rise changed that. So even if she isn't influenced by her musically, Madonna walked so someone like Azealia could even be taken seriously. Also, she knows only three Madonna songs? That's not the case for other people in the rest of the world. Black and white Americans need to remember that America is not the world.

[quote] JANET JACKSON is really the true queen of pop so sorry go argue with ur mom"

LMFAO Janet can't be the queen when she's only like the fifteenth highest selling female artist of all time. Madonna, Mariah, Celine and Whitney (and now Taylor) all can claim to be queens of pop at one point or another. Janet cannot.

She can't name more than three Madonna songs? I can't name a single Azealia Banks song. Who is this stupid bitch?

Azalea Banks is NUTS

Azalea is bipolar. A few months ago, she posted about how Lady Gaga is trash because she has insulted several artists including Madonna who Azalea referred to as the "queen of reinvention". Apparently, her opinion has reversed now.

In case you have any doubts about how much of a derelict, this dumb basic bitch is......

She's voting for Dump in 2024

This person barely ever had a music career. She is much more (in)famous for trying to start online beefs with anyone she can.

She is the female Kanye.

She was praising Madonna when dragging Gaga just a few months ago...she is a nutcase

Has Jane or Michael commented?

Racism is unacceptable no matter which race is targeted.

R22, agreed. Imagine how pissed she'd get if people talked about HER crusty coochie.

R22, blacks can’t be racist, dumb cracker.

R6 I dare you to tweet that at her. Report back!

"I can name three songs by Madonna". That is clearly her just trying to get Madge to respond. Even AB doesn't believe her own shit talking.

bump

But one old white bitch who definitely influenced and inspired Azalea was Frances Farmer!

She may be BiPolar, but she AF is BPD!

I'm not fond of either one. But unlike Janet, you have to admit Madonna made it on talent and sheer determination. Janet's whole nepo-based "career" is due to her family name and big brother Michael's connections in the music industry.

R24 You say that as though it's an unassailable fact rather than an absurd academic theory. Sane people know better.

When asked to comment, Janet responded;

[Quote] I heard Madonna isn’ in trouble deep. That she ain’t been losing sleep.. That’s what I heard. I haven’t watched the news in the last couple of days. I was told that they discovered her father did preach, contrary to the song and video.

Did Jim and Jam Lewis just want to produce for Janet to create a "black" Madonna? If Madonna didn't hit it big with Like a Virgin, I doubt Janet would have gotten very far. People don't even know Janet's first two albums--Janet Jackson and Dream Street--even existed.

bump

Dream Street was a terrible album under-produced by Giorgio Moroder. Her father also had a hand in this mess too.

"Janet Jackson" and "Dream Street" were bubble-gum pop albums released when Joe Jackson was managing Janet's career and pulled strings to land her a contract with A&M. After these two flops, Janet dropped her dad as manager and hightailed it over to Jam & Lewis.

I liked a few tracks on the first album. A lot of it was produced by one of the Sylvers.

R35, holy crap, I had no idea Giorgio produced that album! What an embarrassment. It's funny that Janet herself doesn't acknowledge those albums anymore. But, then again, i don't think Michael acknowledges any of his pre-Off the Wall albums as a solo artist.

Girl bye. This bitch needs to have seats. I’ll never forget when Erykah Badu shaded her monkey ass. She was hurt and that’s what she gets because she is always trying to talk shit about other females especially black females in the industry. Dumb ass bitch talking bout Rihanna kidnapped her.

R39, whattttttt. When did Erykah shade her? I believe you, I just want to see it and let it seep into my veins.

And she makes everything about race too. She is so lame. This song is brilliant but she is lame af.

R40 I think a fan on Twitter asked Ms Badu if she were a fan of Banks and Badu’s response was like “I tried but I couldn’t get it”, basically a real ass black Auntie response 😂

R42, I love that! And Lmfao at her claiming Erykah is jealous of her. Why would she be jealous? Erykah had more than one album that was successful and people still talk about her music.

Please.

This ho couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

Lupe Fiasco also got in that ass when she tried to come for him for playing for white audiences in Europe. He simply posted a tweet of hers from a year prior where she stated “I love Lupe. I use his still in all my raps” He posted that shit over and over and over along with a pic of Kermit the Frog. He didn’t say shit else. Each one of her rants was responded to in that fashion. Then lastly he simply posted a picture of her promoting her Australian tour dates. She had an epic meltdown; she stayed off Twitter for a few weeks after that fiasco, no pun intended.

Say what you will about Azealia, but she’s currently performing a sold out UK tour to consistently good / rave reviews and this is on the back of one album that she released over ten years ago, and since then a bunch of singles or mixtapes with barely any promotional budget. But she still gets the crowds to turn out.

We Australians have had sufficient when it comes to Ms. Banks. Bye bitch.

What's dumb about this is that most of us were very much alive when Madonna and Janet were peaking. Both were huge. Madonna was bigger.

And I don't like either, so I have no horse in the race. But, again, I was alive.

That was also when monoculture was the only culture. So we all heard (mostly) the same shit. Especially for pop music.

R46 Good maybe the bitch can pay her rent so she won’t get evicted anymore.

R48 right. I was born in 88. Janet has always been A list since I been alive and she is obviously bigger in the black community than Madge but she is not bigger overall. Madge was arguably as popular as MJ maybe not in Africa but world wide. Madge was the first to do what all these bitches today. And that is sell sex and be unapologetic about it. Obviously there were sexual performers before but Madge created a certain mainstreaming of raunchy sex. One that is equally for the male gaze and for the gays.

R49 I’d say she’ll have a good payday from it.

I wouldn’t even say that Janet has ever even been bigger than Diana Ross who came out before music videos.

Why is Azalea so cray? Did someone harm her? Was she #MeToo'd?

R50, I think you are correct, Madonna was more popular than Janet in every continent with the possible exception of Africa.

This bitch.

R55, she said very negative things about the Irish too.

R56 She is an ignorant racist piece of shit. But more seriously she is mentally ill and like Kanye won’t take her meds.

R41 some of the lyrics for 212 were so prescient regarding her own career. It’s like she spoke it into existence.

I will say her insistence on singing on every track did yield some dividends, as evidenced by the vocal improvement from 212 to, say, The Big Big Beat. But even that was eight years ago.

I've really only ever liked 212. That was truly a great song.

Since then....meh. Some OK, a lot of blah.

New Bottega is an amazing track, more recent.

[quote]Who is this stupid bitch?

Some selfish low IQ animal. One of the interchangeable low rent semi-talented.

Oh her voice was even better on Anna Wintour, six years ago.

Someone like Azelea knows she can disrespect her mainly white and affluent audience because of how educated they are. It’s hard to explain but they will chuck it up to all the shit white people have put us through. She is a talented girl but she’s not just mentally ill. She’s fucked up too. Hell maybe the mental illness makes her fucked up.

R63, and she ate her dead cat. That just says it all.

Bipolar?

Cunt recognize cunt

She’s the Lisa Lisa of our generation.

[quote]LMFAO Janet can't be the queen when [bold]she's only like the fifteenth highest selling female artist of all time[/bold].

Oh my god no R13! #15??? She wishes!

Madonna is the #1 highest selling female music artist of all time (and has held this place for 4 decades) and Madonna is the #5th highest music artist of all time and she is in the company of The Beatles (#1) Michael Jackson (#2), Elvis Presley (#3) and Elton John (#4) then Madonna (#5).

[bold]Janet Jackson is the #83rd highest selling artist of all time[/bold].

Madonna is the undisputed Queen of Pop. She broke down the barriers for female artists and it is because of Madonna that Janet has a career. Well, that and the fact that Janet is the quintessential nepo baby and without her family connections would never have even had a music career. End of story.

Azealia Banks is a well-known Trump and MAGA supporter and has repeatedly endorsed Trump. Now that Janet has finally come out and admitted she is also a Trump and MAGA supporter and has questioned Kamala's racial heritage - that's why Banks has made up this crap and is trying to make it fly with other MAGAs. All the MAGA "celebrities" have dead-end careers and are shunned and ignored by their industries like Janet Jackson is about to be. Sad.

Janet Jackson will be on this list shortly and then what's left of her sad career will be dead in the water:

Her career is like what I had for breakfast this morning…toast.

Thankfully, notorious paedophile Michael Jackson is dead R21.

As dead as MAGA Janet's career...

Love some of Banks’ songs, don’t really care about her outlandish opinions but she’s dead to me with her Trump support. Ugh!

[Quote] I can definitely say I've never ever , not a single time in my life been influenced by or inspired by Madonna

Well, that settles it!

Madonna: "Phew... at least they can't blame me for THAT!"

Janet is the Queen of Plop.

Queen of Quiznos

Soon to be the MAGA Queen of Flop.

A great comparison of the two:

Neither of them are the best vocalists, but Madge’s voice does have some substance to it, more than Janet’s.
