[MoreCruelThanYou 5,277]

I feel like she will def sing this live. Have you not heard her sing SOC live? She almost nails it everytime. She can def sing The greatest

Yeah ofc she sounded amazing on it... 3 years ago luv

[cognaclilac 1,525]

The greatest is out on google play music

is it good? we've been going crazy over how good it is!

Also "Norman fucking Rockwell" is in reference to an artist who thinks they are the shit but is kinda an asshole. Making reference to people like Kanye fits so well with the theme of the album

All of these songs from NFR make me feel like I'm by the ocean, and that's my favorite place to be.

The ending piano chords do feel like you’re watching the sun fade by the ocean in autumn, watching the sky burn all warm shades, and feeling all the nostalgia

I don't think Lana is a racist, or that her critique of Kanye has anything to do with his race, but I can't with someone here really pulling the "she has lots of black friends!" card.    

 

Anyways, the song wrecked me. I was expecting some simple love-lost shit, not some heart-wrenching decree about the hollowness she feels in today's world and in her life...

She may have fucked around for a year, but she is really about to come through with her best record...

[Vertimus 8,947]

Those who are reading TG as a sign-off to her career or at least this phase of it, remember she did something similar on HM with ‘Swan Song.’

[Pink Champagne 8,939]

Something always happens when I am in the lab, I'm gonna go back in and maybe when I come out again the new songs will be here.

 

I was in the lab for 3 hours and I come out to songs! Bitch! The psychic jumped out!

[sjatib 5,045]

It’s got to that and it’s got to be his skin tone/race.

 

I don't find racist connotations in The Greatest. But, no place to doubt, talking about him in the song explicitly after the feud they had on Instagram (or her comment, better said, there was truly no feud), and being the lyrics on Hope the ones she chose ("shaking my ass was the only thing that's got this black narcissist of my back"), the whole topic is quite conflictive right now, and it's perfectly legit for people to be confused about it. As none of us are, I'm not inside Lana's head to know what she wanted or not to say, and I haven't seen clearly racist issues on her work till now, but she should have know that the critics on this topic would come (and I'm actually glad that people are fighting any potentially racist expression on art, even if that comes to Lana too).

no, you devil woman
