"212" is a rap song by artist Azealia Banks, and it became a viral sensation almost immediately after its release in 2011. The song starts with Banks boasting about her abilities and sexual prowess in the first verse, where she shows off her musical talent and her desire to be recognized as the best rapper out there. She uses her rhymes to express her confidence and assertive personality, claiming that she is ready to compel others to follow her lead. In the second verse, she challenges those who question her abilities, saying that she plans to ruin those who may try to stop her. Overall, the song is infused with Banks' raw energy and creativity and has become an icon in the rap music community.
The song's title is a reference to both the area code for Harlem, New York and the element gold, with the number "2" representing the letter "A," and "1" representing "B" in the alphabet. Banks has stated that the song is a celebration of her hometown and its culture, particularly its hip hop roots. However, she has also faced criticism for her use of homophobic slurs and other language that some argue is offensive.
