Magazine Spread: Azealia poses for 'Paper'

You may look at the final pictures that landed in this month's issue of PAPER magazine as well as her speaking about the logic behind 212 and life in the spotlight.

On life in the spotlight:

“The music industry is like a machine. It’s always going, and this new generation of artists -me, A$AP Rocky, Rita Ora, we’re the fuel that’s keeping it going. And once you get in that machine you’ve gotta run with it. There’s a crazy inertia that’s been going for years and years and years, and it’s not gonna stop for you, so you’ve gotta keep fu**ing working. The minute you stop working, that’s when you get stuck in the gears. And that’s when it grinds you up and spits you out.”

On the advice she received from Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine: 

“The music is what’s important. These people are not gonna wanna talk to you if you don’t have music; they’re not gonna be interested. And your star is not always gonna be as bright. So you really have to seize the day.”

On the inspiration behind “212”: 

“Nobody was listening to my music. I had been dropped from XL. My manager dropped me. My boyfriend left me. I was starting to accept that my career was never gonna happen. So the song was just me, like, ‘F**k y’all. Y’all not gonna help me? I’m gonna get it myself.’”

On why she chose to live in L.A.: 

“For me there’s three options of where to live: L.A., London and New York. London’s too expensive and New York’s too exciting: too many parties, too many of my friends. If I wanna make this my life, I have to live somewhere I can work, somewhere I can focus. My album will not come out in September if I live in New York.”

Interview: Rihanna On ELLE Magazine

Rihanna is a hard-worker I tell you. Whilst she may be out somewhere in the world promoting her new career as an actress in the action-packed film Battleship. She still manages to graze the cover of ELLE magzine and answer a few questions in the midst of it. She speaks up about her breakup with Chris Brown and the backlash of their recent reconciliation, love and having kids.

Breaking up with Chris Brown: “It gave me guns. I was like, well, fuck. They know more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation, my moment of bring it. […] Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.” 

The backlash of their reconciliation: “The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it. People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.” 

Having Kids: It could be tomorrow. It could be 20 years from now. I just feel like when the time is right, God will send me a little angel. But first, of course, I have to find a man. I mean, there’s a very important missing piece to the puzzle here!"

Finding A Man: “I feel like it’s hard for everybody! I don’t think it has anything to do with being famous. There’s just a major drought out there. […] But I just need to find the person who balances me out, because then things like my schedule won’t matter. I've done it before, so I know I can do it again.” 

Interview: Nicki Minaj Complex

Damnnn Nicki be everywhere at this time of promotion unlike some artists (no names said). Nicki has graced the 10th anniversary of Complex magazine cover along with an interview.
Read excerpts of the interview below:

What wows you these days? Everything that comes your way keeps becoming bigger, bigger, bigger.If I wasn’t doing it, I wouldn’t believe it’s possible. I remember when I was working with Jay-Z. It was like, “Oh my God. Did I really just do a song with Jay?” I worked with Mariah and it wasn’t commercially successful. But I had fun and I made a real friendship with her. It was, obviously, a life-changing moment for me. It does feel like every moment is getting bigger and bigger. Not only did I get a call to do a song with Madonna, but then I got a call to do a video with Madonna, and then—oh, by the way—you’re going to do the Super Bowl with Madonna. This is not really happening.
