Azealia Banks brings an email from Baauer to the table in her feud with the "Harlem Shake" producer.
New York rapper Azealia Banks is becoming increasingly known for her gripes with other artists and over the past few days the rapstress has found herself in the midst of yet another feud, this time with “Harlem Shake” producer Baauer.
In a recent interview, Baauer referred to Banks’ remix of “Harlem Shake” as being “so-so” and shortly after, Banks posted an alleged email from Baauer dating back to December in which the DJ praises the rapper for her remix of the record.
The email from Baauer, which was posted on Banks’ Instagram profile and Tumblr page, reads: “Hey Azealia! Thrilled to hear from you im a big fan of yours!! The vocals sound fantastic! I really love the flow on it in the second half especially. Im gonna strip down the beat to make more room for your vocals…”
The picture of the alleged email from Baauer also included this comment from Banks: “I don’t remember you saying the verse was so-so…”
Baauer has yet to respond to this latest addition in the feud between the duo and as of now it has not been confirmed if the email is in fact real.

You can change your mind about an opinion.
You can't sit back say "OMG, THIS SONG IS GREAT" then say "Oh, wait? She called somebody a Faggot?...I totally think what I just heard and praised completely sucks now!".
That's not how that works.
If his issue is her being a dumb cunt, he should address that as that.
I'm just saying why make it about the song, if it's actually about her being in insufferable, homophobic, ignorant twat? That's like making fun of Hitler's mustache.
If the e-mail is true, that is.
That's like being a longtime fan of Mel Gibson, hearing his crazyass universally offensive rants, and then saying "I hate Lethal Weapon". NOT I hate Letal Weapon because the actor is slime, not I hate it because upon further investigation, it wasn't all that great, but "I hate it, the movie was so so". That essentially gives him a pass from being called out on his disgustingness.
You just CAN'T change your mind on an opinion. If that e-mail is true, that's more than just a polite "Hey, heard what you did, neato!". That's total praise, "I'm gonna change the beat for you" "Let's do this other song together" "HAVE MY FIRST BORN CHILD!". Had it been just a polite thing, I could say "well, he could just have been being courteous."
