At this point, all the people Azealia Banks has Twitter-feuded with over the past few months should just band together, record a “We Are The World”-style song about the experience, and then just be done with it. Banks’s latest target is an unexpected one: Reunited Madchester legends the Stone Roses, who, according to Banks, attempted to sabotage her set at Australia’s Future Music Festival by loading in behind her.
Banks has deleted a bunch of those Tweets, but Rolling Stone has them quoted: “Big apologies on behalf of the stone roses to my fans at the festival today. My ex tour manager made a pact with the stone roses saying they’d sabotage my set because I fired him.. And they decided to check their equipment behind me during my set. Fuck those old saggy white niggas stone roses. I wish them nothing but excrement and death. Wow! I must really fucking be a superstar… You’ve got an established band trying to sabotage my lil rap bitch shine. Wow a bunch of old white men trying to bully a young black girl…. What the fuck else is new in this world ???” Let’s all pause to enjoy the image of the Stone Roses in a backstage sabotage-planning pact-meeting.
And given the way Banks has been doing business lately, it’s not exactly a surprise that her words about the Stone Roses are threatening to completely overshadow her pretty great new single, a dizzy and disorienting dance-rap jam called “Yung Rapunxel,” produced by Chicago seapunk inventor @LILINTERNET. Listen to that track below.
Banks’s debut album Broke With Expensive Taste will hopefully come out soon; an LP full of tracks like this doesn’t deserve to sit on any label’s shelf.

Well, this is embarrassing.
Not a typo, google it.
Educate yourself!
ha ha ha. came here to say banks needs to go away and found a new awesome troll and/or clueless person. good job!
If you don’t know something, we WILL downvote the shit out of you.
Underwhelmed by this single. Loved the EP and mixtape. But this is just…boring.
I am so sick of her bullshit.
1. She acts like she’s hip-hop royalty because she had one semi-mainstream hit.
2. She is a bigot who decided to redefine what “faggot” meant for me and the whole gay community so that she could continue to use it to make people feel like shit without any consequences.
3. She is a misogynist who attacks women when they don’t do what she wants them to.
4. Twitter beefs! So many beefs! F’ing please!
Who the hell is Azealia Banks
She’s not an opossum and is therefore a racist piece of shit. Tight song though.
Opossum out.

Who the hell is this old saggy white nigga Mike Tully?
white people be all like “azealia banks who is that? I am unfamiliar with her”
black people be all like “oh azealia banks, of course I know who that is”
lol
The white guilt is strong in this site.
You know white guilt is one of the most racist things invented. Stormfront use it quite a bit. Be ashamed.
No, fuck you. I’m glad that white people can understand that their race has douched around hardcore (and in many cases still continues to do so), but I loathe it when white people bend over backwards to prove they’re the “good” kind of white person. Banks antagonizing the Stone Roses for being old and white for no apparent reason other than what she perceived was happening is not what equal rights is all about, and Mike Tully is completely within his rights to be offended.
But no one attacked Mike Tully based on the color of his skin. He was *anticipating* being offended by people attacking him for being white, which actually never happened.
It seems pretty much like he’s trying to pull the poor-oppressed-straight-white-male crap that’s way too common amongst the Rush Limbaugh/Fox News crowd.
what! that’s not the azealia banks i know!
This lady is just becoming a parody of herself. Notice how each the “beef” here is accompanied by a new single. I say we politely decline.
when you have no talent you must consult the twitter gods.

Zzzzzzz. Can we stop paying attention to this “artist?”
This chick is a big walking bag of stupid.
I just heard someone wish death to the Stone Roses at work today. Does that mean it’s a trend?
Ugh. This bitch again.
It seems to me that she’s full of more paranoia than talent. Bands have to load in. That’s how shows work. If she’d ever traveled with more than a producer and a DJ rig, she’d know that.
No one’s out to get you, honey. Because nobody cares about your ass that much. Sometimes the “H8rs” are your own creation.
Totally agree. Even if her suspicions were actually true, she just has absolutely no credibility in my eyes cuz she’s always talking shit about everyone for the pettiest reasons.
And I’m someone who very, very rarely says this kind of thing, but she just takes it wayyy too far with the identity politics persecution-complex thing. I think way more people dislike Azealia Banks because she acts like a child throwing temper tantrums than because she’s black, female and bisexual.
And she dropped the race card like it was no big deal as part of her 1000th attack on people that could not possibly care less about her. She has no idea what she’s doing, and it shows.
The Roses debut is up there with Rubber Soul, For Your Pleasure, and The Queen Is Dead. Three records her fans have probably never heard of.
Why are you even reprinting this garbage? Let it go. She doesn’t deserve the bandwidth.
Such an untalented twat.
Azealia, just let go. don’t try to call everybody out. we all know the torrential amount of shade that is thrown every minute in the music industry. Don’t make your fans look stupid for admiring you.
Can she shut up and stop playing the race card? She behaves like everyone is out to get her.
