      it doesn't make sense

      Basically don't be Azealia Banks... Yea i liked how AB speaks her mind when talking about poc issues but she always goes way overboard...Starts using racism against other poc and her own people. No dignity

    • @5pandas512
      @5pandas512 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It just seems that she is trying to justify the fact that she is no genetical gold. Don't get me whong I don't think that's bad.. Like if you are not genetically ideal to the modern day standards you still want to live in this world and we all have to get along but unhealthy living shouldn't be prioritized otherwise we all gona end up looking like some nuclear outcasts in several generations

    • @5pandas512

      We are trying to give meaning to things that by some people would be considered meaningless ..

    Her voice makes me melt, and the message is beautiful.

  • @nxdiuh
    @nxdiuh 8 ปีที่แล้ว +297

    I really love how she identifies as black. I find so many latinx people nowadays erasing their African roots, or just labeling themselves as Hispanic not knowing where they originate from

    • @chimkennuggiee
      @chimkennuggiee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Nadi B
      I don't identify as black because I'm Hispanic from Mexico not Hispanic from an island. Hispanics have different roots since it's such a broad term.

    • @JellyDonut9791
      @JellyDonut9791 8 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Daisy Flores alot of mexicans are finding out they in fact have african blood running through their veins.

    • @elisamondragon2849
      @elisamondragon2849 8 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Nadi B She is a mix, she is not black, she comes from part of an island where most people descent from Black and White people but in México only less than 5% of people has notorious black roots and in other countries like Argentina or Chile the percentage is even lower.
      Plus Hispanic is not a correct term because Hispania is a Peninsula in Europe, the actual Hispanics are those from Portugal and Spain.

    • @LunaMyStar
      @LunaMyStar 8 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I've seen a lot of black Puerto Ricans get shut down by black Caribbeans and Africans for identifying as black. Pretty sure that's why they don't identify as black. I just say i'm Puerto Rican and end it there lol

    • @thatsrightmytype2933
      @thatsrightmytype2933 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nadi B she is half Nigerian and half bruja I think

    I resonate with this era of Princess Nokia so much for some reason. She’s still amazing now, of course. A chameleon and a true artist.

  • @user-jq9iv3ju8i
    @user-jq9iv3ju8i 7 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    funny how she wasn't invited to a fashion show that used her song... she is smart and very educated and true to herself and to her friends. She's authentic and actually should have been IN the show

  • @tightgeist
    @tightgeist 8 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    it's funny that she says she wanted to be the epitomy of "not cool" .. cuz everything I ever think when I watch this girls is DAMN she soooo cool

    Jeez this is crazy i just got into the afro punk scene cuz I couldn't find myself (if i was into rock and the style or into rap and hip hop style) then afro punk came along and BOOM theres my people! And i came across Princess Nokia and automatically fell in love with her style and came and still am obsessed with her music and like woah now shes on refinery 39 jeez funny how things work out...

  • @N00RA96
    @N00RA96 8 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    Ok it's a bit weird to watch this when you live in Finland next to a town called Nokia (yep that's where the phone company got its name)

    • @N00RA96

      I mean at least she pronounces Nokia correctly
