only if they specifically exclude non-rap from their remit though? is that an effect of single-genre critics rubbing along closer to generalist critics?

Well I mean caring about what Lana Del Rey thinks about rap.
But yes probably a lot of this is a result of the fact that all the circles of conversation are closer to one another now.

oh i thought this was just rap critics opining on LDR in general. has anyone been talking about what she thinks about rap?! i haven't seen it. i've no idea what she thinks about rap. (i'm not asking either.)

but when this chick says she likes the fucking waffle zombie rapper meme it becomes a huge music writer event.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:54 (twelve years ago) link
what the fuck is the waffle zombie rapper meme
i'm not asking there, either
― irina-camelia begu (lex pretend), Tuesday, 17 January 2012 11:56 (twelve years ago) link
i suspect that the problem with people talking about...that thing is not LDR specifically
I suspect the venn diagram of writers who give a shit about either is basically a circle through hangover-eyes.

Why is this crap bleeding into hip hop press?
The Billboard profile linked upthread notes that she's worked with hip-hop producers.
Also, you know, she's good for traffic, especially at sites that need to wring the tiniest drop of "news" out of anything crossing their transom in order to keep the post quotient high.

When was the last time you heard an upstart male star denigrated as "manufactured"?
Maura, when you wrote this had you forgotten Justin Bieber existed?

okay I'm sorry for this derail but WHAT THE FUCK:
While searching for videos of a different singer, Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive of So So Def, clicked on one of Bieber's 2007 videos by accident.[16] Impressed, Braun tracked down the theater Bieber was performing in, located Bieber's school, and finally contacted Mallette. Mallette was reluctant because of Braun's Jewish religion; she remembered praying, "God, I gave him to you. You could send me a Christian man, a Christian label! ... you don’t want this Jewish kid to be Justin’s man, do you?"[16]
