Cover shown at the lank, not really that appealing TBH. Her actions don't coincide very well with what she preaches.

Banks lashes out at America before using Lorde as an example of racism in the music industry.
"I hate fat white Americans," she said. "All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms."
She continued: "Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma - that's really America."
This isn't the first time Banks has hit out at something she disliked, with her infamous Twitter rants seeing her attack everything from white Australian rapper Iggy Azalea to gay men and the descendants of slave owners.
She defended her strong opinions in the article, saying that a a young black woman she was labelled "angry" as a way of dismissing her views.

"It's always about race," insisted the Broke With Expensive Taste singer.
"(Kiwi pop star) Lorde can run her mouth and talk s*** about all these other b*****es, but y'all aren't saying she's angry.
"If I have something to say, I get pushed into the corner ... y'all mother****ers still owe me reparations! That's why it's still about race.
Early on in her career, Lorde spoke out about "f***ing mental" Disney stars with many believing she was referencing Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. Lorde was recently photographed with Gomez and Taylor Swift at the American Music Awards.
Banks didn't stop there, tackling the slave industry by saying she had every right to speak slang, as English was a language forced upon her ancestors.
"When you rip a people from their land, from their customs, from their culture-there's still a piece of me that knows I'm not supposed to be speaking English, I'm not supposed to be worshipping Jesus Christ. All this s*** is unnatural to me.

"People will be like, 'Oh, you're ignorant because you don't speak proper English'. No. This is not mine.

When her dreams of becoming an actress didn't materialise she focused on singing, writing her own hip-hop material.
And while Azealia didn't graduate from high school, she has strong opinions on what children learn in school.
"The history textbooks in the U.S. are the worst if you're not white," she told Playboy.
"Young black kids should have their own special curriculum that doesn't start from the boat ride over from Africa. All you know as a black kid is we came over here on a boat, we didn't have anything, and we still don't have anything.
"But what was happening in Africa? What culture were we pulled away from? That information is vital to the survival of a young black soul."
Banks features across ten pages of Playboy's annual April Sex & Music issue which hits news stands on March 20
"I don't even want this s***, so I'm going to do whatever the f*** I want with this language. I'm going to call you a f*g or a cracker or a b***h."
And even her devoted fans didn't escape Bank's attack, as the hip-hop star described how "my little white fans" question her belief that the descendants of former slaves should be financially compensated.
"Well, you got handed down your grandfather's estate and you got to keep your grandmother's diamonds and pearls and sh**," she explained.
"I get upset when people are like, 'Why don't you just make music?' What would happen if I couldn't sing? Then I'd just be another black b***h to y'all. It's really f***ing annoying.
"Black people need reparations for building this country, and we deserve way more f***ing credit and respect."

Banks had a difficult childhood, with her father dying when she was two. Relations were strained with her abusive mother, and at 14 she left home to live with an older sister.
By then the Harlem-born teen was attending the famed LaGuardia High School - upon which Fame was based - and appearing in off-Broadway musicals.

Say what you want about her but she is a very interesting character and artist. She says whatever she wants and doesn't apologize for it.



Is there someone whose career you’d like to emulate?
Jay Z. That’s the only person I have my eye set on. The race thing always comes up, but I want to get there being very black and proud and boisterous about it. You get what I mean? A lot of times when you’re a black woman and you’re proud, that’s why people don’t like you. In American society, the game is to be a nonthreatening black person. That’s why you have Pharrell or Kendrick Lamar saying, “How can we expect people to respect us if we don’t respect ourselves?” He’s playing that nonthreatening black man shyt, and that gets all the white soccer moms going, “We love him.” Even Kanye West plays a little bit of that game—“Please accept me, white world.” Jay Z hasn’t played any of those games, and that’s what I like.

If people read your Twitter account and don’t like you, is that because of race?
It’s always about race. Lorde can run her mouth and talk shyt about all these other bytches, but y’all aren’t saying she’s angry. If I have something to say, I get pushed into the corner.
And whenever you point out that discrepancy, someone on Twitter says, “Why are you trying to make this about race?”
Because y’all motherfukkers still owe me reparations! [laughs] That’s why it’s still about race. Really, the generational effects of Jim Crow and poverty linger on. As long as I have my money, I’m getting the fukk out of here and I’m gonna leave y’all to your own devices.
Do you want to leave the U.S.?
Yes! I hate everything about this country. Like, I hate fat white Americans. All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms. Those little teenage girls who work at Kmart and have a racist grandma—that’s really America.

If people don’t like you, does that mean they’re racist?
No, not at all. There’s misogyny, and then there’s something called misogynoir [a term coined by writer Moya Bailey to describe “the unique ways in which black women are pathologized in popular culture”]. We have all these stereotypes in society: The gay man is a !!!!!! and he’s over-the-top, or you’re an untrustworthy cracker, or you’re a loud black bytch. All these things exist for a reason, you know what I’m saying? Yeah, I am loud and boisterous.
And you are black.
And I am black, and I am a pain in your ass. But I’m not really talking to you, and that’s what makes those people mad. You’re not invited to this conversation. This is not about you.
This has been an issue ever since hip-hop spread outside New York City. It’s a black art form that’s subject to being critiqued by people who don’t understand it.
When you rip a people from their land, from their customs, from their culture—there’s still a piece of me that knows I’m not supposed to be speaking English, I’m not supposed to be worshipping Jesus Christ. All this shyt is unnatural to me. People will be like, “Oh, you’re ignorant because you don’t speak proper English.” No. This is not mine. I don’t even want this shyt, so I’m going to do whatever the fukk I want with this language. I’m going to call you a !!! or a cracker or a bytch.

Are you writing about these topics in your new songs?
No, not in the songs. I get annoyed with the fact that I’m even asked to explain myself. Why do I have to explain this to y’all? My little white fans will be like, “Why do you want reparations for work you didn’t do?” Well, you got handed down your grandfather’s estate and you got to keep your grandmother’s diamonds and pearls and shyt.
Haven’t you put yourself in the position of explaining yourself?
No, y’all put me in the fukking position.
You don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to.
But I want to talk about it!
Then keep talking about it. There aren’t enough musicians who talk about the issues you bring up.
You’re not paying attention. There are plenty of intelligent musicians. Kanye West, J. Cole, Ariel Pink, Lauryn Hill, KRS-One, Q-Tip—lots of people. I’m not special.
Do you agree there are more artists who don’t talk about it than artists who do?
Of course.
Then we agree.
No, we’re not agreeing. We are absolutely not agreeing. I get upset when people are like, “Why don’t you just make music?” What would happen if I couldn’t sing? Then I’d just be another black bytch to y’all. It’s really fukking annoying. Black people need reparations for building this country, and we deserve way more fukking credit and respect.
Are your creative impulses closely related to your destructive impulses?
Yes. In my adulthood I’m having to destroy all these things society really wants you to think. The history textbooks in the U.S. are the worst if you’re not white. “The white man gave you the vote. He Christianized you and taught you how to speak English. If it weren’t for him, you’d still be living in a hut.” I could write a book about why black people shouldn’t be Christians. Young black kids should have their own special curriculum that doesn’t start from the boat ride over from Africa. All you know as a black kid is we came over here on a boat, we didn’t have anything, and we still don’t have anything. But what was happening in Africa? What culture were we pulled away from? That information is vital to the survival of a young black soul.
You said black people aren’t supposed to be Christians. What religion do you identify with?
I don’t want to say, but I’ll tell you about one form of the religion. It’s called 21 Divisions. When they brought the slaves over to the Caribbean, they syncretized all their African gods with Catholic saints. So in 21 Divisions there are black gods and goddesses, and my mother practiced that when I was little. Whenever problems happened, we turned to 21 Divisions to fix it. It’s funny, because my friends on the block in Harlem, their mothers would be like, “Oh, you fukking with that witchcraft. You working roots.” You can cleanse people with root work or do bad things to them. But 21 Divisions is celestial.
It sounds like religion is a big aspect of your life.
I don’t understand how someone could be an atheist. Think about God as software, right? If you were to look at God’s face, your head would explode. Because your head is a calculator, and the amount of information that would be embedded in his face would fit only on a Google-size data center. Your head cannot handle that much information. Stop looking for God.
What else should we talk about?
Let’s talk about sexy Playboy stuff.
Were you at all hesitant about posing for Plaboy?
No, I love getting naked. It’s so funny, every time my manager arranges a photo shoot, I’m like, “Let’s do a nude photo!” And everyone’s like, “Oh, Azealia, you’re always trying to bring your butt out.” Posing for Playboy was a no-brainer. I was like, “Yes! They want to see me naked.”
You’re bisexual. Do women hit on you often?
No, most women are scared of me. People have always been scared of me. I punched my teacher in the face one time when I was in preschool. We were playing house, and the lady was like, “I’m a monster! I’m gonna eat your family!” I punched her right in the eye. [laughs] It was a Head Start program, so I was three.
As a kid, were you pretty much the same person you are now?
Oh my God. We had journals in second grade. I went to PS 166, on 88th Street and Columbus Avenue, and we had a teacher I could not stand. The black kids got in trouble all the time. We were loud or whatever, but whenever she told a white kid to quiet down and they did, she’d be like, whatever. But if she told a black kid to quiet down and one of them sucked their teeth, she’d put them in the corner. I wrote in the journal one day, “I cannot stand this white bytch teacher. fukk this white bytch.” She found my journal and called my mother, who was embarrassed, because my mother used to say stuff like that—“White people are of the devil. Stay away from them.” That teacher was scared of me after that.

What’s the longest relationship you’ve had?
Four years. It started when I was 17. He was 43. There’s something very wrong with a man that age who wants to date a 17-year-old girl. I didn’t know how to shave my bush and shyt like that. I had a hairy p*ssy. I didn’t know how to wear perfume. I had neon pink barrettes in my hair. And as “212” started to pop off and my career started to happen, he became jealous. He choked me and beat me up, and of course you should not be fukking with a man who puts his hands on you, but I was stupid and young.
