Thunder Revenant 20,947 Posted June 10, 2014 this 'stick-my-head-in-the-sand' mentality does not work in the slightest. what do you mean? She seems to adress one concrete person and uses the slur "whore". She's talking about this one woman. I don#t even think that whore is related to the "FMWUTTT" thing, as she clearly sings "I fucked my way up to the top - this is my show", which seems to be most likely sarcastic. So "whore" is just a "general" slur in this case. And "whore" .. well, itÄs a whore. itäs not like she said "faggot" or ":)", a word that is musused as a slur and by that very negative and discriminating. If it would be a man and she would sing "you're a wanker", noone would say anything, but because she's talking about a woman and uses a female swearword you accuse her of being misogynistic- That's what I mean. 0 Just do it.

C0neyIslandKing 2,206 Posted June 10, 2014 The first snipped of Fucked My Way Up To The Top made it sound like a really beautiful song about sex, the second snippet makes it sound like a diss track, pehaps the entire song will be a mix of both so it won't be like a whole rant against this other person, more of a balance if you understand my meaning? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

singintheblues 935 Posted June 10, 2014 I've heard the second snippet of Old Money. And I love it. I feel that will be an important song to me. And I'm going to feel really nostalgic when I'm not ... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kommando 3,264 Posted June 10, 2014 She said it's going to be a "FU!" towards someone. What did you all expect? Well I think it's because the 1st snippet made everyone think it would be about Lana dealing with fame. I like how the song is really sarcastic but in the same time it's look kinda sad and disillusioned 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillKillQueen 1,298 Posted June 10, 2014 I am throughly amused omg. You were expecting..better? On one hand, yeah it's boring and old hat to call out someone as a whore (not that female singers don't do it all the time) butI don't know, we all heard So Legit right? That wasn't even or tasteful either. The song is called Fucked My Way Up to The Top...Like anyway you spin this, the song wasn't gonna tick any empowerment checkboxes. It sucks that Lana isn't more engaged in that particular aspect of her work, but we all accept that its very personal, and as we know she just doesn't give a shit about feminism. You should not be looking for Kathleen Hanna teas from the new LDR record. Maybe she'll change her tune one day, She wouldn't be the first to do so. Tbh it sounds really great, Sonically, lyrically. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Platinum Greenwich 13,847 Posted June 10, 2014 So Legit is pretty insulting too towards the transgender community :"You're looking like a man" ... Gaga is not transgender, though. Not to our knowledge, anyway. Of course, "looking like a man" is relative, but c'mon. It's not necessarily negative. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
