Azealia Banks had a breakout year in 2012 based on the strength of her hit “212,” her 1991 EP and her Fantasea mixtape. With her debut album Broke With Expensive Taste slated for an early 2013 release, the Harlemite told Hypetrak TV that she wants to drop two LPs next year and subsequently duck out of the game.
“If I have things my way, if the universe like, allows me to do things the way I want to do them, I want to get two albums out in 2013. Not necessarily take a break, but do some more sound research and come up with a different style. You know what I mean?” she said. “I’d eventually like to stop rapping. That’s just the honest truth. One day I don’t want to rap anymore. Just because I think it’s – it’s easy, but I think it’s kind of tacky. I think it’s very unlady like. I like it. But I think I’m going to get tired of it. So yeah, I would like to get two albums out.”

Was googling Micki Blanco, then heard her say transvestite… Stopped… closed my google search. lol
All these new rappers want to duck out the game quick because they quickly realize the same internet that got them noticed also desroyed record sales and more rappers go bankrupt each year then turn a profit lol
misleading title fuck hhdx
I salute her decision; Rap really isn’t for her.
Good riddance, just like today’s artists. In it for the wrong reasons.
Roadidendren for the win!

man when i heard 212 i was so impressed, song is just straight dope af. and i wanna support her being from harlem and all, but damn she says some stupid ass shit. If she thinks bitches rapping is tacky she should give Tia London a listen. Extremely classy and a nice rapper.
Rapping isnt easy if you do it right you stupid bitch
Lol…..how can she try to retire, when she won’t even have 2 gold albums?
Yeah, because music is the only way to make money in this country.
Retire? Rap?, you need a career to retire and you need to actually be rapping.
how can you retire when you havent even started yet stupid bitch! a career aint releasing one or two projects. your trash anyways. this whole comment alone made you trash
her music sucks but i will eat that booty like a mad man

this rap shit wasnt tacky when you got put on through your break out RAP SONG. rode that 212 song all last year with nothing to back it up with fucking lame
And the attention whore strikes again.
Pretty easy to retire when you’re nobody though.
Just retire, don’t drop any records.
