Friday! You ready to party? I bet you’re more than ready. I bet you’re like “If only there was a song to kick off this weekend because I’m oh so excited and ready to party…” This is why you need me. This is why we’re friends. Let me help you out okay?
Ladies and gentlemen I bring you “212” by Azealia Banks ft Lazy Jay. Warning: This girl looks sweet but she’s got a dirty mouth. Don’t let the braids and Mickey Mouse sweater fool you.
It’s no surprise that she topped this year’s NME Cool List, this 20-year-old Harlem, NYC girl can’t help but be the coolest. Did I mention that she can also sing? Yeah. Just listen to her cover of Interpol’s “Slow Hands”. Impressive stuff right?
Now if you can please excuse me I’m going to continue playing “212” on repeat because duh.
Enjoy!

Second half of song is better. Overall the percussion could have been remixed to make it so much better. Right now it’s grade school percussion.
She must be asking for attention wearing an unlicensed copyrighted Mickey shirt.
I appreciate the point she’s making between the lyrics and the appearance, but that’s litigation stuff. Lyrics are deeper than they appear, but you could say the same thing under the radar without being explicit. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin did it all the time.
