Zane Lowe: Azealia Banks Interview Excerpt (Nov 2014) - Zane Lowe (Ft. Azealia Banks)
[Background music: '212' instrumental]

[Zane]
Banks you just did it! You just dropped the album, like "where's this album? Where's this album?!", and just when everyone is like "it's never..." -KABOOM!! BLAOW!!, you did it, well congratulations. 'Broke With Expensive Taste' above and beyond. Even I'm sure your most hardcore fans must have expectation your album is out.

[Azealia]
I'm so happy to have it out. Like, literally the minute it came out just felt like I was twenty pounds lighter.

[Zane]
Was there any doubt that it wasn't going to come out? At any point, through all of the stuff you've been through, was there any ever doubt that the album was gonna come out?

[Azealia]
No, I knew it would come out. I just was afraid that it would come out when people really didn't care, you know? Like I was afraid that it might have been like seven years before 'Broke With Expensive Taste' would come out. Because I wasn't going to leak it, you know? There were some times where I got really anxious and tempted and angry with the label and stuff like that, but... I'm really happy I held out; I'm really happy!

[Zane]
And you got off the deal and I'm not going to get into that because I'm sure that that has all sorts of repercussions. And I have friends who work for that record label, so -good people work there!- but um, but still, to see your name underneath the schedule of the release record... like, it's you, you did it, with you. But still that's amazing to actually have that independence, and through all the lessons you've learnt to get to that point; any regrets?

[Azealia]
Ahh, no. I guess I definitely regret just... no I don't regret anything. I've had so much fun! Like I've had so much fun travelling the world and, you know, touring and all that stuff. I guess, okay, one regret: I would've released 'Fantasea' as an album, instead of a mixtape. 'Fantasea' would've been my first album.

[Zane]
But it's still out there and it's still enjoyed, and the music is still enjoyed; and that's the thing.

One of my favourite songs on the record is 'Gimme a Chance'. This is the real old-school throwback business, but with a real fresh approach, man, that whole "dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun" -AGH it just killed me when I first heard it. I'm going to play it now - Azealia Banks.
