in my opinion, it sounds like she's saying, "they sing about this bad stuff so I should be able to sing about other bad stuff too"

No she didnt... if you find it that she scrutinized them its because your brain puts a negative connotation on singing about fucking, cheating, etc. theres nothing wrong with singing about it. She was pointing out how other women get celebrated for singing about things like that but when it comes to her on abusive relationships she gets shit for it. Both are women singing about their truths, ugly or pretty. So why does Lana get shit for it lol. Lana adores Ariana btw. Another reason i rly dont think she is trying to drag anyone. Her frustrations are for the media and critics, the audience. NOT THE ARTISTS

People refuse to understand her point of view. All they see is a grown woman dragging other female artists and being petty cause she doesn't have a number 1 hit. So dumb.

... girl what does race have to do with any of this. Her point was that all women should be able to make music about whatever they want without being scrutinized for it. Imagine if she only mentioned white women with #1s. that probably would’ve upset you too smh. She mentioned black women because those black women are TOP stars. Shouldnt you be happy about that?? Shes mentioning successful women. Its NOT a race thing. Smh smh smh

Do you think Lana was responsible for the whole daddy kink memes and jokes on tumblr and other social media? or do you think she just joined a small trend? I know that Lana loves to romanticize the past. Back in the day, like in the 20's, 30's and 40's, calling a man a daddy was more normal. If you watch old movies, you hear it quite a bit. It wasn't necessarily sexual. Just like calling a younger woman a baby, calling a man your daddy, was more just saying he's your man. Following the decades the term daddy was turned into a more obscure kink. People didn't really use it much, and the vast majority of people were not into it. When Lana came onto the scene, she started using it. I think when she was singing songs like Yayo, with lyrics like " I wear your sparkle,
You call me your mama, Let me put on a show for you daddy", she was showing a more honest and private side to her sexuality. I don't think it was try hard or over the top, like the "choke me daddy" comments on twitter. I think when Lana used of term daddy in her songs, it really was not anywhere else that I saw. Now it's more popular with young girls. IDK, but I was wondering if there was a correlation there.

I feel the exact same way. I still love her music, but don't connect to it as much anymore. It's still amazing music and better than what most other artists putting out today, but I no longer music feel any really strong emotions for it. I think the main reason for me is that so many songs are about California. I lived in the LA area for a couple years and hated it. When you struggle financially, LA is not a fun place to live. There are two LA's. One for the rich and one for the poor. The cost of living is also insane, and the people there are very aggressive because of their impoverished circumstances. When I think of LA, it is not a happy place. Venice Beach is actually a really unsafe, filled with homeless people and mentally unstable people very high on drugs. Many other parts of LA are filled with poverty and are not safe. Beverly Hills is not the California I could afford to be in.  Also I wish there was more variety like her old songs. Most of NFR, sounded the same to me, and that was disappointing.

Yes to Heaven is beyond overrated and I’m glad it was scrapped. It’s boring, it’s vapid and I cannot for the life of me see why it’s so popular.

I love Californa but... You're brighter than the brightest stars is cheesy.

i haven't felt the same connection with lana and her music since honeymoon and it kinda makes me sad
but i still appreciate her newer works and believe shes an incredible artist despite some of her crackhead antics with this poetry book!

I assuming everyone here are huge Lana fans lol duh. But what other musicians or artists are you hard core massive fans of? Also before you knew Lana existed, who was your all time favorite artist? 
 
My favorite artists are Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Janis Ian, Nina Simone, Carol king, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Manson, Jim Morrison.  
 
When I was little my favorite artist was Janis Joplin, then Amy Winehouse, then Lana Del Rey.
