boom like that

Me, IanadeIrey, defending the real Lana Del Rey:

She really represents the absolute worst kind of journalism. Someone with no opinion of their own who is willing to jump on the bandwagon and write about anything, with no consideration of the damage that writing can cause. Last year it was trendy to jump on Lana for everything she did, so she wrote something so destructive and unfair. Yesterday it was cool to praise Born To Die, so she gives Lana a glowing review.
 
I still don't think I've recovered from the stupidity of her take on Brooklyn Baby LOL

GO OFF, KING! 

LOL I replied to her post on twitter  I tried to remain civil but not let her forget:
 
"Isn't it a bit hypocritical to write this article without even acknowledging the absolutely unfair hit piece you put out on Lana last year? You are one of the critics who have completely misunderstood her and used that against her. This new article is good, but come on..."

it's a shame how people can't just stay true to themselves  like, if you're a lana hater, just be a lana hater, don't switch-up & act like you're her biggest fan when it's now acceptable within the internet & media 

I think that a lot of writers tend to just go with whatever the popular opinion is, and since people were celebrating BTD's anniversary positively, Iman hopped on the bandwagon

OH THE IRONY  i don't think anybody else could've misunderstood her more when she thought brooklyn baby was problematic for not mentioning gentrification

I don’t want to be the one to add fuel to the fire ever, but I wouldn’t mind if people (respectfully, of course) let her know that nobody forgot her article from earlier. 

"Largely misunderstood by critics upon its initial release, Born to Die was ahead of its time. Blending genres like hip-hop and rock ’n roll, merging orchestral riffs with beats pulled from rap music, Lana layered flowery, breathily-intoned lyrics inspired by classic literature in a husky, sexy voice to complete her fusion. She sang uniquely of heartbreak, love lost and the murky depths of abuse..."
 
That is the same person that accused Lana of overlooking the gentrification of New York in Brooklyn Baby. Ngl her hypocrisy is funny.  

100%. That article she wrote last year was one of the worst I've ever read, and now she's writing about how great Lana is and how other critics just didn't get her at times, without any acknowledgement of her own absolutely shit take a year ago? 

Not going to preface this with an “I’m sorry, but…” because I am in no way apologetic, but Iman Sultan writing that article is hypocritical.  You do not get to act like Born to Die’s tenth anniversary celebration is something you can partake in when less than a year ago, you were vilifying her lyricism to suit your fake-woke agenda. You were part of the witch-hunt at its peak. 

to quote Nicki Minaj - they switch like ******* 

nobody can resist the magic & allure of lana, not even her most ridiculous critics  

Lucky Ones appreciation post.   

"Lana’s music did not just reflect the desire to numb oneself, it also offered a dreamscape for the era’s disaffected youth: drawn in by its monochrome shades of beauty, the nostalgia for an America that no longer existed (if it ever did), the siren allure of total submission to a lover, maybe even death."
 
I like that summary a lot.
Also:

not to be rude or ageist or whatever but you're a 40+ year old man thinking his opinion on what women do with their bodies matters, grown ass man on Lanaboards talking about some "when she posts something raunchy her quality/class drops" "Humans are decent and well-bred creatures" like pls you're So pathetic and weird lol like genuinely..

some of you are doing too much on her, as usual. she's exuding confidence, her skin is glowing, hair looks healthy, titties out and she'll continue wearing shein dresses and yoga pants to important events and i love that for her.

I mean, this site has a fucking Dick Appreciation Thread, it's about time 

i hope she claims the Honeymoon twitter @ and posts her coochie next that would be a kii

uuuhh her sophistication makes u wanna quit the bitch u dating 💅
 

I don't see how this applies to Lana at all, she clearly shares a lot more with us than her body. Lana has invited us into her mind more than most people ever will.
 
And in regards to other people who do only share their skin, that's their choice too and it's unfair to assume that they are unaware of their own decency or worth just because of what they post of themselves. I may not care to follow influencers like that, but I won't judge them for it either. 

Let me keep my mouth shut because I'm worried I'll lose my warning point virginity otherwise  Just know that if you're a man who comes on this site and talks about what women should and shouldn't be doing with their bodies, you're fucking sexist, point blank. 

People need to stop judging others for showing their bodies. Humans are beautiful and sexual creatures, if Lana wants to flaunt her titties that is absolutely her right. We should be admiring the fact that she feels confident and sexy in her own skin 

not yall complaining about a boob selfie when she has done photoshoots like this  
 

bby we need to unlearn the association between women owning their sexuality/expressing desire and a lack of virtue or "quality"
