Azealia Banks Comes Home: On Talent, Trolling & Her NYC Show

FUSE TV - Azealia Banks Comes Home: On Talent, Trolling & Her NYC Show

We can stare at our screens and wonder all day whether Azealia Banks is torpedoing her young career, or we can go to a show and watch her work.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, the 24-year-old Harlemite headlined Terminal 5 in New York City. The week before, it was reported she's under investigation for assaulting a security guard. She also nixed her nine-stop American tour, aside from the evening in NY, vaguely writing that she's "very busy at work." There's been a depressing dearth of concerts since she surprise-dropped her three-years-in-the-making debut album, Broke with Expensive Taste, in November 2014. Staying committed to the New York date kinda read as a halfhearted gesture to just give the fans something.

Instead, Terminal 5 was Azealia Banks' full-throated display of giving her fans, and herself, everything. We could talk a long while about how celebratory and juiced apparently every member of the crowd was—the house-flavored beats turned Banks' show into a nobody's-not-dancing party rather than a watch-the-artist-closely exhibition. But charming diehard fans is easy. Doing what Yung Rapunxel did last night isn't.
