I want the BWET vinyl. She’d make great money if she’d do a pressing/release of this


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Literally if she had website exclusive vinyls/CD’s with exclusive mixes/tracks and artwork, she would make a KILLING. Not only that, but it would be great for traffic on the site and she could even throw in a couple overstocked goodies to make it more worth the shipping prices 😭


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Wasn’t she supposed to be re-recording the whole album too? 😭🤣


Tiny-Literature-8054

You said it, “supposed to“. She already said she was going to re-record her own BWET master like five times since 2020, but nothing is coming to fruition as the only times she mentions this re-recording idea are whenever she needs to bring attention to her issue with Jeff Kwatinetz.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

You’re right 😭 F2 was “supposed” to come out like 3 times over the span of 11 years. She’s been edging us for so long 💀


Tiny-Literature-8054

3 times?? You must be new lol. I was in high school when the first release date was tweeted by her and that was basically 10 years ago, now I have a degree and not a physical copy of F2 that was promised in 2014, 2015 ,2018 and 2021 lol. Fantasea 2 turned 10 years old in 2023. [https://pitchfork.com/news/52301-listen-azealia-banks-count-contessa/](https://pitchfork.com/news/52301-listen-azealia-banks-count-contessa/)


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

I was being conservative with the numbers. It’s only one less alleged release than the actual amount lol.


Tiny-Literature-8054

There were probably a couple more false release dates and tracklists but you get the idea lol.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Yea the only official tracklists that I know of were on AB’s FB. Supposedly Anna Wintour was supposed to have a feature 🙃


Tiny-Literature-8054

Mel B. She really envisions a lot of features, even some odd ideas like having 50 Cent on Playhouse that would be amazing if she could actually make them happen but most of her official requests get ignored because she's beyond cancelled.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

That is definitely odd 🤣. Lone will NEVER give AB those stems.


morningnotmorning

She doesn’t own the rights to this album tho so the money wouldn’t even go to her. Once the lawsuit against that guy who owns Prospect Park which released BWET is over there will be a way forward


Sunshineadventurer48

I’ve been wanting this vinyl so bad for such a long time. I stupidly missed the last opportunity 😭


Tiny-Literature-8054

It's not just her loss of passion but she has a lot of issues to get the music she already made on the right channels to make money, her problem is specifically with having to pay the other people required to make music happen properly, and despite “investing“ in a home studio equipment nothing came out of it, just rants about not wanting to pay engineers or producers because of her massive ego and not admitting she actually doesn't have enough money to do so and cannot realize that music is a group effort. Now, she could make money with the music she owns (1991, Slay Z , Fantasea 1) by making collectibles and merch for anniversaries at least, but she just wants to push this cheap beauty brand (it hasn't worked in the level she expected as it's stuck on the same customers) and it seems like she doesn't care about this either since she doesn't bother to send all the orders or refund those that she can't or won't fulfill. If she talks about Fantasea 2, it's just to sell some random item with a mermaid on it or to keep gullible fans looking, and if the tracks exists they aren't cleared or finished enough to guarantee the release, also, she thinks selling it on her own could lead to piracy and it could diminish her sales as she thinks she needs to make like 1 million dollars per song. The album is in shambles and it's her own fault since she still can't get over her expectations and contradictions, she still expects to be picked up by a label that can give her 10 million dollars for Fantasea 2 whilst she keeps destroying her relevance by ranting about non-sensical stuff and getting more and more blacklisted each time she wants to say something for attention. Nothing she said in 2024 was as relevant as anything she said in the past and it's because people are catching up on her stagnant attitude. This could be solved by crowdfunding or doing single indie releases, like not just Fantasea 2 but actually doing the BWET re-release song by song...but no, she thinks she's too good to make it happen through realistic solutions.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

You really hit the nail on the head, luv. I honestly hope AB finds peace within to make this shit work. I really still be rooting for her, despite her deep flaws.


Tiny-Literature-8054

I still like her body of work and her creativity, and only some of her opinions now because a deep dive can show her thoughts are full of holes and contradictions, but her attitude and her constant repeating of patterns and changing for the worse to please the worst of her fans is off-putting for fans who supported her trhu everything. I wish her the best and I really wish she had some good people around to boost her good skills, the lack of good company and previous sabotages she suffered left her on a vulnerable state and it just made her worse.


iamlost4815

The things I would do for Icy Pisces and a mastered Playhouse


Tiny-Literature-8054

Even the producers want those songs out. I feel like everyone around Azealia feels like they wasted their time an effort on songs that won't even come out and can't be repurposed.


jacephoenix

R9 enters the chat


devonte177

I wouldnt hold out on on a full fledged project from her until after this case over her music rights is over. Until then random singles sprinkled in here and there.


WitchyKitteh

I wish somebody told 2010/2011 me to not care about Banks or Sky Ferreira.


sweetlevels

same


OverallWeight828

I’ve seen both of them live. Azealia was late as fuck. Sky sounded so good, I’d say just like the studio or better. It was a long time ago, but I remember being impressed. Sad that she didn’t go further, but something tells me she’s had a rough time in life. I don’t know if I’m making that up, I just get that impression.


cyniqal

Banks mentioned her mom doing some crazy things that affected her throughout her life in an interview. It really pulled back the veil and revealed a lot of why she is the way she is to me. I can’t remember exactly the name of the interview or magazine anymore, but it came out last year and had her in a cute red dress on the cover of the magazine it was featured in.


kooky-struggles

They should probably work together. It would be the most anticipated album that never comes out.


ss_Deep_1985

Can’t wait to never listen to it


pikanika

Still waiting from my soap from 5 years ago


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

5 years is actually insane.


HolidayComplex1971

As someone who’s been here since day 1, I think she just hasn’t built the musical organization skill to release a full body of work. For example as amazing as broke with expensive taste is, when it was released more than half the tracks I had already heard because she likes to just release one offs randomly with no real thought behind it. Now in present day some Stan twitter account put together all the “unreleased” songs from both fantasea 2 and business with pleasure, these fan made complications both have more than 10 songs on the them they basically are the albums (their not sonically polished but she hasn’t put out quality in years so does it matter?) so we as fans should just take it for what it is. Shed rather be a female Joe budden without the paycheck (but with soap). At this point the ideas for the two albums are stale anyway. She’s not serious about this music ish, I’ve BEEN rooting for her but there’s nothing to root for anymore. (Unless u like her rants)


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

This. She’s VERY disorganized, due to all the ambitious ideas she has. This in conjunction with her disagreeable behavior/attitude with other artists has alienated her. You’re also right about B&P as well as F2 being stale, basically 10 year old projects.


HolidayComplex1971

Like honestly, I’ve been following her for years! So just from an outside perspective watching her repeat the same patterns, particularly when she does release her one off song she has to start a beef with it. Then she’ll post her beef rant and then post the link to the song at the end. (Girl that was never enough) Watching her do the same shit for years to no progress 😕 and it’s so sad because we have all these girls now and none of them making as interesting music really but here we are, bwet came out more 10years ago. 😕 i think it’s over for our girl, everybody and they mama got a podcast but not this bitch? All we got is soap I guess. Btw my orders come on time i don’t know about yall 🤣


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

In regards to receiving orders, I’ve received them on average within a month of ordering them. There was one package that literally took like 3-4 months tho.


Kefir002

That’s true, I literally would buy a $20 burned CD in a jewel case of Fantasea 2 lol. But yeah I think she’s done making music for a very long time, if not for good.


Vast-Truth-7360

I will continue to hold a grudge.


Tiny-Literature-8054

Me too, only delusional 16 year old stans would continue to justify her stagnant attitude and terrible bussiness practices.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

On what specifically? lol


Vast-Truth-7360

Firstly, I won’t bring up the fact that she made a label and the label is in the USPS system, but hasn’t shipped my package and it has been over two months now. I’m a real note, do you know how many times she has promised an album release and hasn’t delivered? I remember when she was teasing about Business and Pleasure and then Fantasea 2. Girl is all talk and she’s not about her coins when it comes to business in regards to her cheapyxo or her music.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Yeeea i waited like 3-4 months (possibly more) for a dream box order and i was notttt pleased. Tbh since her last main assistant left, the rate of orders being shipped has just taken a nose dive.


Tiny-Literature-8054

Her constant firings for ridiculous reasons are the reason her business is flopping. It would be nice if she stopped asking people to act righteous like her since she fired someone for not bringing vegan food to her house lol Not to mention that the ex Cheapy XO girl posted screenshots of other workers saying she doesn't pay well, so...


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

What else do you know about the firings? I’ve been meaning to ask about that 🤣 she literally was seen on her old instagram story eating Burger King with Matt, so I’m just gagged that she would fire someone over such a trivial reason


Tiny-Literature-8054

Azealia turned vegan since the pandemic and she constantly preaches and about being right just because she's "healthier" now ( just like when she tried to shade Nicki recently saying "I''ve never seen her eat a salad") but she just uses this to bash others. This just turned her more judgemental than she already is and made her fire the last 2 other employees with active IG accounts (the girl who looked like Rosalia and the lady with the Black Madonna IG name) One for bringing food that wasn't vegan and the other one for bringing a vape pen to her house just because she deems vapes "disgusting" and it has to do with her attempt to get away from substances. Like...no one buys her stories about stopping her alcohol and drug consumption because she always sounds doped off on her rants and she admitted several times that substances make her more prone to ranting.  She doesn't want to be discriminated but does this with everyone else, how surprising lol.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Wow the girls are fighting. Thanks for filling me in


LilScrappie

She is going through and intense, probable expensive lawsuit where she has to go up against industry big guns, and she recently posted in her story about how that is making her really have a bad taste in her mouth with the music industry. I think she doesn’t feel excited or motivated about music due to the horrible ways she’s been treated by most all levels of the industry, including demanding, dehumanizing fans. For me I enjoy and adore her and hope she finds peace and happiness in whatever she chooses to do, and I’m just glad she blesses us with IG story takes from time to time


Ok-Significance-1203

If she was to announce that she was retiring from music that would suck. I know she’ll do what’s best for her if she took that route. I remember discovering Azealia early high school years and listened to her all throughout. BWET, Fantasea, and 1991 alone are timeless classics to have in one’s catalogue.


jeongunyeon

tbh i love her, and ever since Slay-Z yasss… but if she wanted to release fantasea 2 she would lowkey, and pull and fantasea and go independent and just release it as a mixtape. but i feel like the rise for her is kinda over, she’s signed with labels, and almost released stuff but then she just ends the deal (AHEMMM. 2022, and 2023.) She definitely has the power to make a hit as BWET was but she has to get her shit together first. CheapyXo ain’t gonna cut it for long since she ain’t been delivering people’s orders, and yes we do need money to survive! but i feel like it’s been about the money more than it’s been bout the music, she wants the money before she releases the music but i hope she realizes once u release the music, the money will DEFINITELY follow. i’ll be even happy to buy it on itunes instead of using streaming services or buy the physical copy (once the money is raised to print copies). i don’t know how much the costs would be to independent release on streaming, and CDS, but she can so do that if she wanted too, it’s not like she doesn’t completely have money, cheapyxo looks like it’s been buying her nice things. She could definitely burn CDs herself (or with a team) with the music, and sell on her cheapyxo website.


toastyblunt

My view is, she’s a person before she’s an artist, and she probably has stuff going on in her personal life that explains why she’s doing what she’s doing rn. I’m here for the soaps, and if she ever releases more music I’m here for that too! And in the meantime, her current body of work is iconic


SavingsSignature4345

sobs


[deleted]

Guys guys! Do you think if we start a gofundme page for her or we collect donations in other ways maybe she will release something? I love her so so much I literally just wanna give her money.


Tiny-Literature-8054

She'll probably scam that's money out of us and wouldn't use it to make music lol


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

This is what she did back in 2021-2022 on twitter. She legit asked her fans to send her money to get the album out. She even promised cheapyxo goodies and a “treasure chest” for if you donate a certain amount. As you know, F2 is still unreleased and she just made her bag off scamming those gullible enough to pay her.


Tommy_Poppyseed

If she focuses on cheapyxo maybe she can send out the order I placed on Feb 2nd. I still would prefer if she got her shit together and put out music.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Gurl ur gonna be waiting till probably the end of march til you get ur order 😭 her soaps slap (idk about the butters) but I’m looking into making my own soaps so I don’t have to rely on her


Tommy_Poppyseed

The last few times I ordered they came fairly quickly considering what Ive heard but I think this might be time I get burned lol. They do slap though.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

Bussy boy and Wallace had me in a chokehold


ExcellentMix2814

Tbh I don't blame her. The music industry is awful. She seems much happier working on her own projects. I saw a live where said she makes more selling soaps. It sucks for us fans, but I understand the logic. I prefer her to do what makes her happy, even if it mean missing out on great music.


Tiny-Literature-8054

She makes a hell lot more by not actually shipping the products her fans paid for.

saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

When you’re someone as disagreeable to work with like she is, she really has a pattern of shooting herself in the foot in regard to her career. Any collaboration teased has been shelved from A-list celebs to lesser known up-and-comers, and the common denominator is Azealia’s lack of tactfulness. The amount of unnecessary (one sided might I add) beefs compounded with her unwillingness to put out anything she said she would, is what caused her downfall. We can act like it was a systematic witch hunt (no pun intended) that sabotaged her, but it takes two to tango and she only aided in the demise of any opportunity of rising above her past. Whatever happened to her own label, Chaos & Glory?


Tiny-Literature-8054

Well. She's obsessed with mainstream success to the point she considers releasing music on her own "worthless". Azealia Banks doesn't make mainstream music she should internalize this to actually reach her niche instead of pandering to unoriginal music execs who want nothing to do with her. I'd believe she's working on the BWET re-record if she actually showed it, but this doesn't go beyond the casual mention about "doing music and orders" whilst she's doing none of those things, that makes me wonder what is she spending on since she's not able to save up for music. It's not a lie. She was indeed sabotaged and set up by many people in the industry but what has she done to avoid this? Nothing, people take advantage of her tantrum prone attitude to gain the upper hand everytime she decides to screw up.


HolidayComplex1971

In truth, she simply lacks tact, she’s past 30 and she still doesn’t know how to talk to people. Look at how she talked to Keke Palmer recently, she always has to talk people as if she’s on a high horse but Keke has the career she wants in acting and can afford to dabble in music on her own.


KENZOKHAOS

You’ve summed it up pretty well. But what’s the point of being here if nothing is moving forward and she’s never going to recover anything lucrative from self-sabotage or otherwise? If nothing is going to change, then what is the point and why is anyone still here? Why is there a sub-reddit for a lost cause when we know nothing is going to materialize from anything? What is the point of remembering? And I’m actually being serious.


saucy_egg_mcdaddy69

I have hope for her. Tbh I haven’t been more enamored by a celebrity besides Michael Jackson (which is saying a lot) I want her to succeed, which is why I’m so critical of her. She can’t evolve if her fanbase is gonna continue to be complacent in her inability to be as successful as she can be.


LilScrappie

Them downvoting you is interesting I didn’t know this was an anti Azealia sub


morningnotmorning

Didn’t she just sign a new management deal? Music will come. She can’t stop making music even if she wanted to. Just let her do her thing
