July 6, 2016 Page 11 Arts & ENTERTAINMENT Showdogs is a full service salon. We do New York City rapper Azealia Banks brings her show to Portland’s Hawthorne Theater. Perfecting Her Rap Controversial rapper Azealia Banks comes to southeast Port- land for a show on Friday, July 8 at 8 p.m. at the Hawthorne The- ater. Raised in Harlem, Banks has steadily been perfecting her craft and making a name for herself. She originally got on the radar of many record labels with her fist recording “Seventeen.” Classical- ly trained in the performing arts, she has “upped” her profile in the past couple of years with various public controversies. Banks uses Twitter as her weapon, for example she first hit Bay Area rapper Kreayshawn in 2012 calling her a “dumb b****” and threatening to sit on her face. In 2013, she made openly gay ce- leb gossiper Perez Hilton her tar- get by firing various homophobic slurs his way and encouraged him to commit suicide when he took the side of fellow female and bi- sexual rapper Angel Haze. A ra- cially driven attack on former One Direction star Zayn Malik and Disney Channel actress Skai Jack- son caused Twitter to suspend her account. Whether it’s her seasoned barbs, voice and hooks, Azealia Banks gives you a reason to pay attention.
