I can't believe this whole conversation shifted from "yo Lana's text has racist undertones" to "yo Lana unfollowed some clout-y fan accounts" in the span of 24 hours, this fucking pandemic I swear

what makes you think she has not already?

Funny how they only show us certain parts of that DM. Like don't they know not to rock the boat with someone clearly mentally unstable/fragile? Her reaction to this ENTIRE situation, while self-destructive, is totally normal/valid given the circumstances.

speak for yourself

This I actually can get behind and boldly and fully support. Fuck these clout chasers.

Whatever she says she's never going to win anyway, it'd be best to just log off for a while now I think. This is probably going to turn out ugly, but I just feel like homegirl needs a hug (and a PR person). xx

FWIW Twigs didn't even follow Lana to begin with.

I agree. I feel like maybe if the roll out of the album had been more concise and planned out, maybe the snippets and teasing wouldn't have been so bad. Alas, she teased the album for over a year. By the time the album came out, I had already lost much interest in it.

she subtweeted her own mom on Mother's Day last week

Having the opportunity to have a sleepless night and really re-think about the whole situation and everything that unfolded yesterday was not the best experience. Nevertheless, I think it was somewhat eye-opening. I still feel as though that the wording was very, veeery, poor and there was absolutely no need for Lana to namedrop any of these successful female artists to make a point, as it actually made it look like she was victimizing herself and that was frankly insensitive to the hardships any and all of the women she mentioned actually went and are still going through. It made her come across as selfish, insensitive and to a certain extent quite ignorant on other important issues. But, getting passed the first paragraph, I feel like the rest of her letter is actually spot on. She specifically called out female indie writers in her post for the way they treated her and are still treating her today, in regards to the her lyricism and her so called "submissive" image/persona. I don't know if many of you guys have been around since 2011-12, but what she said hit close to the bone to me. Back in those days, these same indie writers they legit made a sport out of hating Lana and making up stories about her to further their narrative that she was this dumb, self-destructive, inauthentic industry plant. Which I think Lana still hasn't let go, regardless of the recent critical acclaim she has received over 'NFR!'. She clearly has harnessed strong resentment towards this specific group of people. It all definitely came out wrong, but I feel like it comes from a place of personal frustration of being apart of the industry, as it's the first time she actually directly alluded to the whole thing. Still, I wish Lana had a PR person, this is way too messy even by her so called standards. And that was my last post on the topic, I've already lost/pissed off enough LanaBoards acquaintances as is. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I hate her snippet game, it's silly. In hindsight we legit had heard like 3/4 of the album before it even came out (we almost had heard HIAB in its entirety). Nah, she needs to release just one cute little album trailer with short snippets to like three song and that's it.

This is the kind of wishful thinking that will actually keep me going.

She needs to convey all that negative energy and put it into her work. also Dan Auerbach needs to make a glorious comeback here. Just saying.

I need her to make a Brooklyn Baby 2.0

Sad Girl is that girl, and that bridge still sends me. I'm on fire, baby.

I've legit been saying since this morning and I was somehow panned as lowkey racist and ignorant, even by people I consider to be friends on here. It was indeed pointless, and dare I say, stupid of her to even mention anyone in her message. But somehow people interpreted that as Lana disregarding/invalidating the struggles and hardships of the women she mentioned and in a broader spectrum WOC in the music industry as a whole or making it sound easy for them. But I repeat, as much as her message was tone deaf, I don't feel like that was her intention at all. Her message definitely needed better wording or should've just been relegated to the garbage bin. But I still very much agreed with the part about her feeling like despite a lot of people in the industry claiming every women have their place, she still doesn't feel like she has hers and the personal frustration that comes along. That is personally what I got from her message (not the comments that came afterwards though). I feel like Lana should stick to express her innermost feelings in her music and leave it to interpretation, just like she did in 'Brooklyn Baby'. It would've been a much better look for her.

Agree, agree, agree. She really was less than smart here, she should've just fine tuned her message and definitely leave anyone's name out of it. The whole post was kinda self-destructive in the first place tbh. Like she had to know her sentiment would be overshadowed by her mentioning those other successful female artists. It was really dumb. But then again, this probably why I don't like her poetry all too much, it needs fine tuning, she's too whatever with writing down her thoughts.

Rorman, Queen of the desert teas.

if someone knows about bullshit and women being mistreated in the music industry that's our old pal Madge

dw we'll find something, if Lana doesn't say anything, someone will. I'm putting money on Azealia to call Lanz a fake witch and give us a written rant on 109290348 different Instagram stories.

I'm honestly hoping for a 'Brooklyn Baby part. deux the remix'. Come through Lanz.

Highkey same, I legit woke up to this mess, but I still manage to get involve into it and even lose LB friends over this. It's fucking exhausting and I'm honestly drained and strangely emotional over this whole situation.

As a cancer I can confirm the latter. Somehow, despite what Lana says, she gives me strong Gemini energy.

Stan Twitter is notoriously dense, one sided and people live for the drama, they don't want to understand stuff from another POV, other than their messy one. Nota place for constructive discussion, it's all about the drama. Call out/cancel culture in its original form.

It would legit be the best time to actually releasing "Queen of Disaster" as a single.
