Azealia Banks 'Broke With Expensive Taste' Collaboration w/ Disclosure Dropped; The Brothers Respond w/ 'I Don't Give A Damn'
Although the collaboration with Disclosure was dropped from her debut album "Broke With Expensive Taste," Azealia Banks announced that the song may be leaked in the near future and the brother duo could care less.
Her reasoning behind leaving Disclosure out of her continuously delayed project was because they were "rude" when talking about her to the press and she has "much better stuff" on the album, according to NME.
Now with Australian radio station Triple J, brother Guy and Howard Lawrence of Disclosure addressed the issue.
The group claims that they don't really care if Banks leaks their collaboration and joked about them supposedly being "rude."
"I don't give a damn if she leaks it," Howard said. "We're actually terrible, terrible people. Have you seen the interview where we were rude? It was so bad compared to what she said," he continued sarcastically.
Guy revealed they tried apologizing to the female MC while admitting that their collaboration is incomplete and was given little effort.
"We just wrote the first verse and a build-up - there wasn't a chorus - and she kind of took it away," said Guy. "Then she thought we were rude in that interview, but we apologized and everything. It didn't seem to matter that we apologized ... We made the beat on the way there in the car, so I don't give a damn if she uses it. Whatever."
Guy went further when explaining what he meant by the comments he made in the "rude" interview. Allegedly, all he was trying to say was that he is use to artists not bragging about an upcoming project until it is a sure thing.
"Maybe when I said [in the interview] that she's 'taken to it quite heavily', it came across as rude - but what I meant was that whenever we've worked with anyone in the past, we just keep it secret," said Guy. "Because if nothing comes of the session, nobody's disappointed. But if you build all the hype before, then you have to deliver an amazing song."
Does he have a point?
"Broke With Expensive Taste,"was originally scheduled for release in September 2012 but has since been delayed on several occasions. Banks has recently revealed that it is now due to come out January 2014.
