Nov 7, 2014Best album of the year so far.
Azealia is so creative and so talented, the album its amazing and a big WOW to me, she´s the future of music in general! congrats Azealia! -
Nov 11, 2014Broke With Expensive Taste definitely is the best album from 2014, along with Ultraviolence. All tracks are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nov 8, 2014Nude beach A-GO-GO is the best song i've ever heard, and this album would not be complete without it. It works so well on the album. Songs like Wallace, Idle Delilah and Luxury prove how Azealia can indeed rap and sing, a skill rarely shown in the industry.
-
Nov 7, 2014One of the best hip-hop/rap album that has been released, she brings her brilliant mind and herself in the tracks, really loved the album. Proud of her

Nov 8, 2014This game changer album served what she had promised. She didn't try to change it for a mainstream album (what Interscope wanted) and she fought hard to leave the label and release this masterpiece. It doesn't have any bad song and the genre mixes from song to song is just heavenly.
-
Nov 8, 2014Freaking awesome! She's naturally amazing. Best album of 2014!
The old Azealia's success mixed with new jams and very structural lyrics, its a masterpiece.
A bit of pop, and a lot of good and big quality rap its an amazing experimental album.
Can't say nothing but: Azealia is the best in her category!
Years ahead of our simply minded music. -
Nov 8, 2014#BWET is amazing! I have not stop listening since it was released! Every song is pure sonic Azealia! It's just so amazing! One word to describe would be: Longevity. Great job Azealia!

Jan 22, 2015One of the best albums of 2014! So underrated. This stuff is the real deal. So excited to see what Azalea has in store for her fans in coming years!!!
-
Nov 7, 2014BWET is one of the best albuns of the year, is so perfect, really, i'm so proud of her, and she deserves this, is amazing! PS: Yeah, is better than The New Classic.
-
Nov 7, 2014Wow, this album is amazing. That's my favorite album from 2014. It really, really worth the wait. 1991 is a great EP but Broke With Expensive Taste is a big album with perfect songs. So proud. ♥
-
Nov 7, 2014The best and criative album of the year! Of course!
I waited 2 years until she finally release this album. It is really amazing and I cannot explain how I'm feeling. It is just the best album of Rap of this Decade. ♥
Favorite tracks: all. -
Nov 7, 2014Masterpiece!
Azealia's vocals are impeccable. It is just the best album of Rap this year. Azealia exceeded all expectations. Is a pleasure to hear it. -

Nov 7, 2014Broke With Expensive Taste is a great debut from a very talented artist, the long delayed album from Azealia Banks combines Opera, Jazz, Hip-Hop, House, Hardstyle, Merengue, Pop and Soul all into one action packed album. Standout tracks are "Ice Princess", "Wallace", Soda", Nude Beach A Go-Go" & "Desperado" I'd recommend this album to everyone, you won't regret it.
-
Nov 7, 2014Amazing album. Every single track flows nicely into the other. The only track which was out of place is Nude Beach a Go-Go and even that still flows nicely with the whole album. This album was truly worth the wait. I really am proud of Azealia. I really wasn't expecting something this good.
-
Nov 7, 2014She can Rap and sing at the same time with verses perverses. "Broke With Expensive Taste" is so creative with so many Rap and House, a kind of Rock, Jazz, Soul and - I didn't wait - Salsa!! ♥ THE BEST!
-
Nov 7, 2014Azealia Banks was right. Best and most innovated Hip-Hop album of the last 10 years and for the next 25. Who will copy her sound (horribly) next? We will wait and see. Ms Banks, you are the star. Here to stay.

Nov 7, 2014Eu não esperava nada diferente disso, mas ainda assim foi uma surpresa quando eu vi o álbum disponível, foram longos períodos de espera, e quando ele surgiu ainda parecia tudo meio distante da realidade, simplesmente inovador, ela provou que é a melhor no que faz, nenhuma barreira resistiu a esse disco, ela quebrou todas

-
Nov 13, 2014Broke With Expensive Taste is the album of the year for me. Highlights are... well, pretty much everything, really. It's like New York City in audio form.
-
Nov 9, 2014Simply AMAZING album. Long wait, but well worth it in so many ways. Highlights: Soda, Chasing Time, Nude Beach A Go-Go, and perhaps the greatest rap song of all time -- 212.
-
Nov 8, 2014Just a flawless record that's been worth the wait. Great beats, sick flow, & intelligent lyrics.
Highlights: Nude Beach a Go-Go, Jfk, Miss Amor, & Gimme a Chance. -
Nov 7, 2014
-
Nov 10, 2014It is nothing what I expected, and I love it. Every song is unique on its own and shows how diverse Azealia can be. It's probably the most innovative released by a rapper in a long time. Take notes Kanye!
-
Dec 12, 2014This album has a few good songs, without a doubt. But the thing is, none of the songs seem to stand out - with the exception of 'Ice Princess'. Azealia is a talented artist for sure, and I understand and respect her diversity on this album - but maybe channeling her 212 era would help her out on any upcoming projects.

Nov 8, 2014The best debut album from a female artist since Lady Gaga's "The Fame" and probably the best album from 2014. The wait was worth, Banks shows she's a complete artist. She can kill every female rapper with this album. And yes, she's innovating hip-hop and rap.
Highlights of the album: 212, Gimme a Chance, JFK and Desperado -
Dec 21, 2014I tried to enjoy this album but I couldn't with the wack lyrical content and dated sounding production it was a chore sitting through the hour. Sadly this album will be forgotten quick and Azealia will fade into obscurity.
-
Nov 9, 2014
-
Nov 8, 2014One of the best albums I have ever heard. This will definitely go on to be the best rap album of the year. Even with everyone doubting her Azealia managed to not only pull through but release one of the most creative rap albums of the generation.
-
Feb 4, 2015This album was one of the best of the year, Azealia could innovate bringing an album full of surprises and with a great voice and sound (sorry I can not say the same of other...) my favorite on the album are: Soda, Ice Princess, 212, Idle Delilah and Chasing Time.
-
Nov 10, 2014Best release of 2014 for sure. album is cohesive and she nailed it. LMAO at those critics reviews album deserves a higher score than 75, beyonce is higher LOL LOL LOL whats so innovative bout her? ;_;
-
Nov 10, 2014
-
Nov 11, 2014This album..... I can't put in words how much of a magical experience this album is. Takes you on a journey from the dancey Idele Delilah to problematic Antagonist Yung RapunRapunxel ans even more! A completely mellifluous album.
-
Nov 12, 2014Each song is very well thought out and she accomplished exactly what she set out to do with her album. Stand outs on the album would have to be 212, gimme a chance, jfk, and ice princess.
-
Dec 24, 2014
-
Nov 9, 2014OMFG, I love it, i never heard someting like this album. It's like the most exclusive album in rap in 10 years, like, omg, i love this, was so goooooooooooood, i can't even explain this. I'm already in love with this gal
-
Jan 2, 2015While Azealia Banks' versatility and mixture of rhythms and composition might arguably be her most prominent and best characteristic or her biggest disadvantage, what's solely objective is her ambition and boldness to try things out and offer one of the most original works in the genre (and in the industry itself).
-
Nov 21, 2014Put simply, Banks creates a rollarcoaster of emotions, styles and feelings, then launches them at you as if at random. The madness in this case, is most certainly outweighed by the innovation and energy her debut album has to offer, and reinstates her importance and ability to envelope her contemporaries.
-
Nov 7, 2014Amazing, utterly well produced, lyrically flawless and epic, it's a huge album from beginning to end. I'm really blown away by it and it's easily one of the best albums of this year

Nov 9, 2014Pas pritjes katër vjecare për broke me shije të shtrenjtë , është e papritura sa mirë ajo ka krahasuar muzikën e sotme . Broke me shije të shtrenjtë tregon edhe një herë se bankat është i aftë për të qenë një gjeni muzikore kur vihet me çdo sfidë .
10/10
Ndoshta album i vitit !
Rekomanduar ! -
Mar 5, 2015A real masterpiece, Azealia Banks fulfilled very well what it promised, this album is more than fantastic, it's perfect, it's wonderful, everything in it is catchy and millimeter perfect.
-
Nov 21, 2014Mixing Techno, Rap, Hip-Pop, Lambada and Pop, Broke With Expensive Taste is the greatest album of 2014, Azealia bring us to another concept of the music, using samples, rap verses and her beautiful voice to create a perfect album
-
Nov 8, 2014It's something new, that does not leave you standing, that makes you reflect on all the songs. Banks was able to show that someone who does not need to command your career, just managed to get herself into what was desired to please her admirers. The best album of 2014 has arrived and we can already experience the fruit thereof.
-
Nov 8, 2014First of all, I still haven't recovered from the shock the release of this album caused me. I'm sincerely in awe, every song has its meaning and its place in the album musical landscape, nothing feels out of place even though every song switches between different genres and styles. It's just amazing. Ice Princess has basically taken control of my life and can't stop listening to it.
-
Nov 9, 2014The album is truly amazing showing off the talent that Azealia Banks has and not to mention her amazing vocals! Broke With Expensive Taste is one of the best albums of this generation!
-
Nov 10, 2014I LOVE THIS ALBUM is so eclectic and criative, miss amor and ice princess is my jam. Azealia Banks is the best famale in hip-hop, i love this guuuuurl
-
Nov 12, 2014This album is filled with personality. It is the best female rap album hands-down. It debuts more of Azealia's reminiscent 90's singing style and hardcore rap lyricism. A shame that Interscope/Polydor did not promote this album. It truly is a work of art and one of it's own.
-
Nov 17, 2014THIS ALBUM IS **** GOLD NO I WOULD RATHER SAY PLATINUM, DOUBLE PLATINUM.
I havent really been paying attetion to Azealia for a while because of all the album delays but OH MY **** GOD THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Nov 22, 2014
-
Nov 24, 2014Drops mic and the crowd screams "Encore!"
Azealia Banks has undoubtedly shut it down with this album. No one has approached music with this level of creativity, versatility and actual talent while keeping it all together in the last 10 years. If she does not win awards for this, this industry is officially out of touch. -
Feb 21, 2015Complete album. Right details, rich concept of rap art. Azealia can make good music not following the actually tendences. and one of bests albuns of rap music in the story.
-

Dec 11, 2014Um albúm que mostra oque o Rap tem a contribuir com a Industria músical, suas músicas cheias de expresividade e emoção e com uma voz potente e ao mesmo tempo surpreendente.
-
Dec 13, 2014
-
Dec 15, 2014This album is almost flawless. Very experimental, but that's what makes it fun to listen to. Azealia's rapping is great, and she shows off her vocals as well. Probably one of the best albums of 2014! It's a shame that all of the delays for the release and all that **** ruined the hype for the album, causing it to underperform badly on the charts.
-
Dec 16, 2014Innovative, creative, nothing like we've heard before I'm completely honest. This album made me a fan. It is seriously one of the best albums of 2014, definitely the best female rap album in years. Azealia Banks really delivered on this occasion.
-
Dec 20, 2014
-
Jan 5, 2015Azealia Banks said herself this would be one of the most forward and diverse albums ever, and it is. Expect only the best from Azealia. The long wait for this album was worth it, music needs Azealia and needed this album.
-
Mar 15, 2015Perfect. Just perfect. Is amazing. Fav songs: Desperado, JFK, Soda, Ice Princess, Wallace, BBD, Miss Amor, Miss Camaraderie, Heavy Metal And Reflective
-
Jun 10, 2015With real lyrics and real production, Azealia Banks shows who is one of the best female rappers nowadays.

Jun 4, 2016People underastimate Azealia beacause of what she says on Twitter. Broke With Expensive Taste is the proof that not everyone on the rap industry is changing to pop music(like Drake and Minaj). This album definetly is 2014'ss biggest albuns, for it's quality, and for it's impact on rap music.

...................................................................................... -
Dec 21, 2015It's a mix of sounds, genres and rhythms. I don't know what to think about this album, just say it's a masterpiece. The talent of Azealia Banks is amazing.
-
Jan 6, 2016Broke With Expensive Taste é o único álbum de rap que eu consegui gostar. Sério, eu detesto rap, mas esse álbum tem músicas ótimas. Mesmo com muito câncer auditivo (muito mesmo), certas músicas tem seu destaque.
Pontos Altos: Soda, Chasing Time, Yung Rapunxel
Pontos Baixos: JKF, Desperado, BBD -
Jan 6, 2016Incrível esse trabalho da azealia. As músicas são muitas vezes dançantes e nada decepcionantes em relação á composição. Azealia tem muito a oferecer mas só aparece fazendo confusão -_-
-
Mar 23, 2016Although Azealia is mainly known for being the problematic **** from Twitter, she actually does make great music - regardless of personality. The only song I really do not like is Nude Beach A Go-Go, it's awful in my opinion. However, the rest of the album is absolutely brilliant. It really is a great album
-
Mar 30, 2016One of the best albums I've heard que In all my life . The sound is nice and aggressive , a combination that does not go unnoticed . Plus own voice beyond a mere rapper. Congratulations.

Aug 10, 2016I do enjoy her music and picks in different beats. She flows and switches genres so easily she shows off her versatility as a rapper and singer very well. Giving it a 9 because there were a few tracks I didn't like at first and needed some warming up to with a couple of listens. Favorite tracks: Idle Delilah, BBD, Desperado, and Ice Princess.

Apr 10, 2017The album is truly story-telling. Azealia stands out for embracing considered “broke” musical elements and transforming them into memorable work, which ends up leaving an “expensive taste” in our mouths. The only problem is that the execution in some tracks lacks some sort of deepness, required to tell such impacting reflections.

Sep 5, 2018One of the Greatest Album's By a female Rapper. Azealia Banks really showed us what she can do in terms of her rap and singing skills.The Album is innovative and fresh !
-
May 10, 2022She's so talented and this album is a good evidence of her talent, the sound of these is a nice collage for modern rap.
-
Mar 19, 2021LOVEEEEEEE. Azealia is a genius. She can rap, sing, and has some of the best beats in her music. Her voice also adds a lot onto this. The songs here constantly stuck in my head. Please listen to this because you will NOT regret it at all.

Nov 21, 2021Most versatile release from a female rapper to date, the album has a very experimental vibe as no track is the same. Banks lyricism is incredible, not only that her vocals are on point with Chasing Time, a two in one package.
-
Nov 1, 2022This album is beyond excellent. She combines rap and house together. This is impossible to do. Good album.
-
Jul 25, 2023Masterpiece of the rap genre and a must listen definitely. Latin influences and versatility in general were spot on.

Dec 19, 2014Just 16 exceptional tracks full of glowing wordplay, instinctively catchy intonation, and effortless genre whisking.

Dec 17, 2014BWET is a fascinating starting point, as she can spit complex rhyme patterns with ease. The hope is that this can progress into something deeper, but as things stand she's still a pleasure to listen to.
