Videography Evolution Of Azealia Banks

Top 10 Music Video Evolution

1.) L8R (2010)

Filmed at a pool party, Banks makes hot dogs, plays party games, and is eventually filmed underwater as she performs the song in the company of her friends.

2.) 212 (Feat. Lazy Jay) (2011)

Banks’ most successful song to date, the video takes place in a New York City alley, as she struts around in a Mickey Mouse jumper while performing the song.

3.) Liquorice (2012)

“Liquorice” is a song taken from her debut EP titled 1991. Azealia plays a cowboy who towards the end of the clip, battles a mirror of herself.

4.) 1991 (2012)

Azealia pays homage to things related to the 1990s, including Madonna and Aaliyah, she performs the song in a variety of cut scenes. A very underrated music video.

5) Atlantis (2012)

“Atlantis” is a track that appeared on Azealia’s Fantasea Mixtape. Shot in front of a green screen, Banks rides CGI swordfish, sits on an underwater CGI throne and sports an array of sea punk outfits.

6.) Yung Rapunxel (2013)

Banks plays a witch who endlessly attempts to evade the police, before being confronted and fighting them. The music video contains a lot of visual symbolism and illuminati imagery.

7.) Heavy Metal and Reflective (2014)

“Heavy Metal and Reflective” is the second single from Broke With Expensive Taste. Azealia escapes from being kidnapped and left in the desert, before leading a motorcycle gang.

8.) Chasing Time (2014)

Filmed in black and white, Azealia incorporates various CGI effects in the video, as she dances to the track in leather and sheet outfits.

9.) Ice Princess (2015)

Needless to say Broke With Expensive Taste was one of the most criminally underrated Hip Hop albums of 2014, and so were the visuals. Azealia is pictured as frozen leader of a robotic army. She leads her CGI army into battle with a volcano that produces multicolored clouds.

10.) The Big Big Beat (2016)

In the music video, Banks pays tribute to her NYC roots, which finds her strutting down a fluorescent-lit hallway in a fringe jacket. There are also scenes of her outside a courthouse and twerking on top of a NYPD cruiser.
