where is the demo we need the damn demo
-
hiatus from gay music for sure i meant visually but thanks the albums is trash sorry bout it
-
soemone said on twitter this is literally her lfl comes after quite a hiatus (although honeymoon wasn't a huge hiatus she wasn't doing a lot during the era which made the album stretch feel longer) clear concept (space whatever / 60s retrofuturism) half executed (the quality of rain on me is completely different to stupid love visually like wtf? same with something like love vs white mustang) a lot of collabs, most being mediocre 16 songs with a lot of filler the majority of the album is some of the most mediocre stuff she's put out but the stuff that's great is amazing critics will probably be into it and fans wont this probably means she'll turn around and drop the best album of her career next and then be cancelled.

depop is for second-hand selling. it's mostly used for fashion but a lot of people use it for merch !

for those of u who want the discography items like the boxset (just bc there is multiple of you wanting it so if one of you doesn't get it) you can get a lot of these items on Discogs! like the paradise boxset. it wont be cheap or anything but if you can't find it on ebay and want it that's always got some level of stock of every major lana release

i'm sure she's definitely been called a whore. what woman hasn't. there's probably something she's aware of that spawned that comment, whether it was a review or a statement or a comment or something someone said to her. i'm sure she wouldn't pull that out of nowhere. also i just looked this up, and this is kind of an awful takeaway from the ride music video: https://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/lana-del-rey-ride/ and a very good point to "she's a whore as part of her persona" as a literal headline. https://www.afarinmajidi.com/blog/2019/4/4/why-is-everyone-pretending-that-lana-del-rey-and-harvey-weinstein-didnt-fuck "he’s not so much a femme fatale as she is a self-conscious corporate whore who makes a killing with her slutty image in a slut-shaming world. She’s a gorgeous paradox!" what the fuck is that comment? jesus. there's probably more. every woman gets called a whore at some point.

i think that her bringing up twigs for for an entirely separate point lana was trying to make. twigs is not an example of what lana was saying in the first rant, but she's an example of the point that she made of lana being labelled a "whore". again as lana brings up more people, people think it's immediately an attack. it wasn't an attack. when twigs gets on a pole people call it art, because it's art. when lana gets on the pole, people call her a whore, because she's a whore? that's not correct. if nicki gets on the pole is she a whore? beyonce? sia? dua lipa? marina? rihanna? gaga? it goes back to lana's point she's describing extremely poorly - she is a "whore" because she is lana del rey. she is "depressed" because she is lana del rey. she is "dumb" because she is lana del rey. she is "anti-feminist" because she is lana del rey. she is this and that and the other. this never happens in the commentary for these other women. critics don't make stories about twigs to build a fake presumed persona and then use that as a weapon. critics don't make stories about beyonce to build a fake persumed person and then use that as a weapon. critics don't make stories about ariana to build a fake presumed person and then use that as a weapon in reviews to drag her down. "lana del rey" is a label to describe her as much as "beyonce" is a label to describe beyonce. i think that's the best comparison i can make. when something is compared to beyonce's name, its a compliment, but in reviews about lana's work when they use her own name to describe her work it's an insult because of these pre-conceived notions of her. the point is less about twigs not being art and more about lana being a "whore".

knowing her artist potentially with covers after NFR i’m really excited to see how she’s visualises this, hopefully it’s a portrait and hopefully they actually do a shoot. i have a GUT feeling it’s going to be very NFR urban outfitters. with a title like that i think she has the capacity to be very creative. i can also see it being very honeymoon part two. her off in the distance with airplanes in the sky or something.

he’s a crackhead conspiracy theorist. an exclusive / expensive club often in the country for affluent people. often has sports with things like horses and stuff. regarded as an extremely upper class kind of place. chemtrails are a conspiracy theory that airplanes give off emissions that leak chemicals and other biohazards and things.

EDIT: i’m so sorry this is far longer than i wanted it to be and it was just suppose to be a rambling thought so it might not be well written pls don’t take everything in this at 100 tbh you know what, i think she explained the point she was trying to make work and clarified the other points. i don’t think there’s much more or less than that. of course i wish she would still acknowledge these woman also do get attack but honestly do any of them actually get as attacked as lana? for her it’s every album cycle. she can never avoid it since born to die. even fantano famously made a video after his review of born to die asking “does an artists image impact the reception of their music?” and the fact he even had to make that speaks for himself. did beyoncé ever get slandered for crazy in love? did twigs get slandered for magdalene? did ariana get slandered for dangerous woman? some of them may get criticism now, or more recently for their more controversial things but for lana it’s always been constant through her career. even that asshole from the guardian still rated her album down, basically for the reason of “she is lana del rey”. some artists literally just get slandered for being them. it’s kind of similar with gaga. i damn well know so many people that have never listened to a gaga album, but they would still be like “i don’t really like her :////“ and it’s never for their music, just their image. i feel like maybe newer stans potentially won’t get what i mean when we say it’s literally just every album cycle with her. even when i was fourteen i remember having to defend lana for everything - she can sing live ! she’s not depressed ! this that and the other. i mean, do you think beyoncé stans had to do thay for her first few albums? of course she gets it a lot more NOW that’s she’s more political, but lanas had it from born to die - and i think the point no ones really made is: a lot of lanas controversy stems from born to die. even her modern controversy and image. people still think the same of her as they did ten years. i don’t think this is applicable to all of the artists she mentioned, but she’s not 100% wrong. i think people immediately jumping on one side or the other are the problem. no, she hasn’t done nothing ignorant but she’s also not “crazy”, “dumb” or “stupid” for expressing her discontent. i don’t know why people don’t see a middle ground. when she posts it’s either “YGH SHES SO DUMB SHUT UP” or “I LOVE YOU FUCK ALL THESE PEOPLE!!!” what she said was not racist but it was ignorant. but she also isn’t wrong about how the perceptions of “lana del rey” have affected her career. // first and last rant off, sorry ladies. that’s just kind of my first and last full opinion on everything. also i want to emphasise the examples of woman i chose REALLY are not representative of all the woman she spoke about - i think a lot of those women she was maybe wrong to include because they never really had a “passive” side of their career, such as nicki, cardi, etc. and a lot more of the stronger and more outspoken women on the list. anyway we’re getting a fire album i can tell.
