Rap-Up.com || Video: Azealia Banks

Azealia Banks has sparked controversy with her notorious Twitter beefs, but she lets her music do the talking in the Rankin-directed video for “Van Vogue,” a cut off her EP 1991. The firecracker femcee flaunts her fashion as she splashes in a pool of water and blazes the screen in an orange pantsuit. Watch the fashion darling strut her stuff in the simple, yet stylish clip.

@MinajRules2012, Poor black & ugly? WOW. Just. Ugh….

It’s ironic because the chick you Stan for so hard 3 best friends happen to be dark skin and beautiful. You are disgusting.

Dark or light skin it’s ALL black. Carribean, Haitian, WHATEVER! It’s all BLACK. I can’t take your trolling anymore. It’s just becoming hurtful now.

Simple yet stylish video. When she releases her major label debut she probably will get a bigger video budget! But I hope she stays true to who she is and doesn’t get forced into a fake image that isn’t her! Another track off the Ep:1991′s music video is getting filmed on Wednesday and Esta Noche off the mixtape will have a video as well! She is on 3 magazine covers this month : Vibe-August 20th, Spin-August 28th,and Dazed & Confused as well as being featured in V and Vogue Magazines.The debut album is out sometime in the Fall of this year.

Okay, going to say this once, loud and clear. Nicki stans, F*CK OFF. I’m sorry that your idol is some peroxide-blonde skin-bleaching pop-idol who gives less than two dollars of attention to her fans, the Barbz, that y’all have to fight for attention by bitching other other femcees. Nicki is pop, she admitted it, she is not the Queen, she turned her back on rap music once she started releasing Euro-dance crap to appease the crowds. Nicki can hardly be considered versatile because 1) she is not a trailblazer 2) she coordinates ugly clothing as a coverup for being fashionable and 3) fake fake fake.

@IM, Kim fan? Okay, you better learn to take a seat. First off, the fact you know so much about Banks already shows that you’re a fan and/or you’re pressed. Them “costumes” stand besides Alexander McQueen and actual fashion house collections, while your face is at home, sewing together ripped tights to be “original”. No Nicki fan messes with this chick because no Nicki fan is delusional enough to fully admit their Queen Barbie is a broke-down poptart with a lack of musical direction.

some of yall claim nicki dont talk about nothing neither does this girl

Yall get on nicki for rapping on pop beats, this girl raps over that house music.

You get on Nicki for gimmicks, whats this mermaid shit and her twitter beefs supposed to be? attention seeking ass girl.

Stop acting like yall love this girl so much cuz yall hate nicki. We seen that before with keys, and kim, etc.

If you like her, you like her, stop pretending simple bitches.

ANd that minaj 2012 chick on here is only just trying to get people to bad talk Nicki minaj, U dumb dumbs cant see that and you fall right in the trap. Jokes on you.
