Thompson IN Music Published: 01 June 2012 Every once in a while a record comes along thats so good, you refuse to take a break from listening to it long enough to give anything else a chance. I suspect I’ll be saying similar stuff about this EP in a little while. Album Review: Azealia Banks 1991 EP Details BY Eliza C. She was an utter bitch, but she was fun for a while and had big uns. Oh and I think I just remembered the one non-gay memory this project reminds me of: an ex. Besides, who needs big ass radio hooks with beats this happy (well, hooks always help if you’re running that race)? Maybe we’d still be listening to the Jungle Brothers if they’d stuck with that house shit and gotten some help on the hooks. Banks has a decent enough singing voice and the transitions between her sweet-sounding choruses and her snarly rhyming aren’t as jarring as one would anticipate. Banks offers little in terms of traditional pop/radio style hooks, but Ms. I had a really good boner/sex joke here, but I already said all that shit about gay clubs, so I gotta chill. Frankly, it’s all very exciting and a little scary at the same damn time. She even works in a homage of sorts to Ghostface’s “Clyde Smith Skit.” It’s the most frivolously hilarious shit I’ve heard in a minute and that includes 2Chainz verses. Her nimble flow is employed in the most vulgar, rude and scattershot manners imaginable with random references to silly bitches, New York (“the 212”), cunts, guns, sex, fashion, drugs, alcohol and whatever the fuck else she deems worthy of shit-talking. Banks isn’t picking silly fights with everyone, she’s actually capable of making some pretty dope and fun music. I’m guessing all these repressed memories are being triggered because this shit sounds like an orgy involving the Jungle Brothers’ “I’ll House You,” En Vogue at their bougiest (don’t nut on their weaves), some bored African child soldiers and C&C Music Factory – in a glitter factory. Then again, it also kinda reminds of that time I got lost while looking for a bar in the Montrose District here in Houston. I say that to say this: even though none of us knew who Azealia Banks was back in 2006, her 1991 EP reminds of the five or six times that one time I ended up at a gay club in Portland, Oregon (please believe, I have a plausible and acceptable explanation for that shit – it involves a snowbunny, her good credit and her gay roomie). Whatever the answer to that query is, the fact remains that if you listen to enough music, it’ll eventually serve as a bit of a index for your memories. I’ll probably have to go with “not” given my proclivity for hating people who have better lives than mine. I still don’t know if living a struggle-filled life is better in nicer weather or not.
