212 (song)
"212" is the debut single by American rapper Azealia Banks. The musical base of the track is the song "Float My Boat" by Belgian DJ Basto and his brother Toon (under the alias "Lazy Jay"), who also produced Banks' version. The song was first released on December 6, 2011 in the United Kingdom as the lead single from her 2012 EP ''1991'', and is also included on her debut studio album ''Broke with Expensive Taste'' (2014). The song is named after the area code 212 which covers Manhattan, New York where Banks grew up. In September 2011, the song was chosen as the Record of the Week by Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Zola Jesus Fresh Off Stage )〕 The song was included in many publications' end-of-year lists for 2011, being ranked at number 9 by Pitchfork Media〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 100 Tracks of 2011 )〕 and number 2 by ''The Guardian''.
The song was also included in the latest edition of the book ''1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die''.
==Critical reception==
The song received universal acclaim, with critics complimenting Banks' versatile rapping style as well as her songwriting ability. ''The Guardian'' gave the song a positive review and placed it at number 2 on their The Best Songs of 2011 list.〔〔 In the review, Michael Cragg praised the song, calling it "a startling three and a half minutes of attitude" as well as "incredible." Carrie Battan of Pitchfork Media gave the song its "Best New Music" accolade lauding Banks' "unpredictable vocal range" and wrote, "She clicks between characters and styles casually, effortlessly. No seams. A jaw-slackening demo reel." Thomas H. Green from ''The Independent'' called it "a potty-mouthed sex song that encapsulates the way the current US explosion in EDM has adapted and adopted European rave, mixing the style with hip-hop and R&B stylistic tics." ''NME'' dubbed the song #18 on their 50 Best Tracks Of 2011, calling it "mischievous, quick-witted and full of filthy cunnilanguage: it’s made Azealia Banks the coolest girl on the planet, and it delivered on 2011’s forward-thinking promise."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nme.com/list/50-best-tracks-of-2011/255134/article/255195#article )〕 NPR Music gave the song a positive review and listed it as one of their 100 Favorite Songs Of 2011, calling the song "the raunchiest shut-down of 2011." ''The Village Voice''s Pazz & Jop ranked "212" at number 6 to find the best music of 2011. Pitchfork Media also ranked it number 9 on their Top 100 Tracks of 2011 list, writing:
So she's an internet novelty? Hardly. "212" works because its popcraft and its shock tactics are each other's Trojan horses-- concentrate on one and the other sneaks up on you. One reason "ruin you, cunt" feels like such a payoff is that Banks spends an entire verse of quick, unshowy rapping setting up its run of vowels. Banks uses the peaks, breakdowns, and drop-outs of Lazy Jay's bouncy "Float My Boat" to give her Minaj-style vocal-shifts some context: from sassy and chatty during the build ups to cartoon rage as the synths rear up around her at the song's end. If it were judged only on its visceral thrill, "212" would still be one of 2011's best, an unashamed banger in a mostly mid-tempo year. But the more you dig into the song, the more you can hear details and decisions that suggest a scary degree of pop talent.
