    Old Money

    Parts of the melody are the same, I don't know if it was intentional at all. I do know that Old Money sampled Methamphetamines, an old a cappella song by her (Lizzy Grant Era). But, I'm not sure if she drew inspiration from the Romeo and Juliet score for Methamphetamines.
  2. that's kind of the point I was trying to make
  3. I think she's obviously super cute and pretty, but I just think some people overrate her beauty. There are a lot of beautiful people, Lana included, but I wouldn't say she's the most gorgeous woman ever, you know? Her looks vary, too. I think she looks better/worse depending on the day, how she's feeling, etc.
  4. oh my GOD it's not her marina sure aint a pre pubescent girl it's from a movie
  5. iTunes? I don't know, it came as an instant download when you preordered paradise..
  6. I haven't counted, but most likely. Do you own any real diamonds?
  7. did perez write this article?
  8. lol each to their own I guess? + I don't deny that Madonna is an icon and a talented woman, she just doesn't have the impact britney does today
  9. MODERN pop. Madonna dominated the 80s and into the 90s. Is she still relevant today..? I wouldn't say so. Britney was a breakthrough artist with numerous amounts of hit single and albums sold. Her sound molded the way pop music is today, she is the icon of pop. She's still making music today (whether it's good music is arguable)
  10. she pretty much invented modern pop music and was easily the most popular and well-known pop star of the past two decades.
  11. I would imagine because she has a Nabokov tattoo - she wouldn't have a tattoo of an author's name when she's only read one book of his (I hope).
  12. Yes! It's pretty cool. Do you own a Netflix account?
  13. "I paint the house black My wedding dress black leather, too You have no room for light Love is lost on you" - Black Beauty "No more skipping rope, skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat even when the sun goes down" - Lolita "But, he was chasing paper Caught up in the game, it was the last I heard" - Blue Jeans (I love this line for some reason) "Blue hydrangea Cold cash divine Cashmere, cologne And white sunshine" - Old Money Editing
  14. I think she's a personal icon for many, a woman that people idolize. Her fan base isn't huge, but those a part of it are usually super dedicated. They would iconize Lana and treat her as a legend. In the music industry as a whole (or pop culture, for that matter), Lana is not an icon. She hasn't been in the game very long at all. She's only become semi-known since mid/late 2011 (start of BTD era). Lana hasn't achieved longevity or success in her career. Many would agree that Born To Die and Ultraviolence are amazing records that deserve attention and recognition. They also might think that her style - her beauty queen hair, the lips, the long claws - is noteworthy and original. Or they love her songwriting, unique voice, and genre; "Hollywood sadcore" meets "narco-swing" meets "surf noir." It's all subjective as to whether a certain person is worthy of icon status. As far as being an industry icon, there's no way. If they general public doesn't know of her existence, then she doesn't deserve a title like that. Icons are people who have literally shaped pop culture and music. However, Lana is an icon to me because she is unlike any other and is a true artist. I consider her as a musical legend because she's done what nobody else has. She may not be a major name in music, but she is an icon for me. I'm sure many people have their own personal group of people they love and follow devoutly. They would consider those people icons or idols, even if they aren't well-known in terms of the music world.
  15. I only think the chorus is sarcastic, where she chants about money, power, and glory... The verses are quite thoughtful
  16. No Do you own a pair of Beats?
  17. Dangerous Girl What are you wearing?
