for lovers

She raps better than pretty much all the female rappers but she doesn't know how to make good music.

Mariah does it again...releases a surprisingly great album with terrible single choices lol She may not be able to sing like she used to but she knows how to make good music, can't take that away from her

This thread is EMBARRASSING. So many of you need to get critical thinking skills badly. A bunch of bimbo air head b*tches who will grab their pitchforks and jump on any bandwagon that drives by. Mess.

For me her music became much better when she improved her songwriting. The songwriting on NFR is top tier and made her projects after that so much more listenable than her music before. How much Antonoff had to do with that I have no idea but for me that was the biggest difference when comparing post-NFR music to previous projects.

No. Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Big Thief >>>>>

Lmao at Applause, who cares? I could ask 50 random people on the street what that song is and they'd have no idea. If we're talking about music longevity then the answer is self-explantory as Gaga moved to film in order to continue her longevity, the music wasn't doing that for her. If she hadn't moved to film she would've continued to sink into irrelevance with mediocre albums, hence separating music and film in my answer.

Wait wait wait, Kesha is only popular on ATRL?!! I can't believe it

Music wise it's obviously Britney, the Gaga fad lasted like 3 years and she doesn't have a "Blackout" either. But career wise probably Gaga, she was smart and moved to film where she will continue to thrive IMO

Not illegal? They're called PRIVATE schools for a reason, they are privately owned and can accept or reject whoever they please

Couldn't care less about Katy but go off

Last album peaked at #168 so going independent means she gets to maintain the FULL $1,000 in royalties from her next project

Because I Like It borders on an interpolation of You Get What You Give at times. But yeah very wise decision to change direction from this to the finished ITZ album

The song isn't good, so there's that

Yeah the song just isn't good

Traumazine has bars over this album, especially the first half of Traumazine. "Megan" has cohesiveness, sleek production and flows but Traumazine has BARS. "Megan" is really lacking on that front which is what makes it a bit disappointing, but it still edges as her best album overall IMO. Next album she needs to cut the album down from 18 tracks to somewhere like 12 or 13 and give everything she has to those songs...cut out the fat and the filler

Drowned World by far

After listening to the album more I think she could've cut Downstairs DJ, Find Out, Broke His Heart, and Figueroa. It's not a coincidence that the most well received songs (and imo best verses) are where she's not just mindlessly going on about sex. I think Megan has outgrown that subject matter tbh, also Moody Girl kind of illustrates how it's not exactly coming from a healthy place these days. Still a solid album though

The album is ok. The production still sounds a bit cheap and she really should hire someone to write hooks for her because they're always the weakest parts. Altho I get she is independent so might not be easy to do that. A lot of her singles in the last few years like Discounts and Grilling N sounded so clean, if the album was more in that direction it would've been better

Cruella tho...Cupcakke does conscious rap really well

Nooooooo I thought she was passed this... I've not listened yet but I will be disappointed if we're back to the meme music.

The high points are lower than Traumazine's, but there's almost no filler unlike was the case on Traumazine. This is her best album imo

The album is really good. I'm kinda shocked.

It's soft drugs so I imagine some kind of painkiller opioid deal, at least that's the vibe I've been getting from Nicki in recent years with her deranged social media rants and slow blinking. She's a mess, but maybe this arrest will be a blessing in disguise and get her the help she obviously needs. Her fans calling this iconic are just sad, like imagine having supporters who are cheering on your spiral in this way
