ONNNNIKA why would you?

 

Also, I keep seeing this post on tumblr about how she puts her merch low and she puts her clothes on Wal-Mart for the fans and I'm like b---h i love Nicki to my core but a sweater with her album logo on it is like 150$ s0meone's making tons of money outta this.

Mess.   I'm really grateful that the artist I stan for is genuine although that's what an artist should be in the first place.

The C2C BoxSet doesnt have a signature by Gaga tho

was confusing it with the looney tunes exclusive   

 

C2C deluxe box set didn't include any autographs. The booklets for C2C that she signed for looney tunes were all hand signed by her, end of story. It was no auto pen.

 

right since the box set had the lipstick print...oops...oh well, but yeah for short quantity merch i'm sure she at times signs certain things but when they roll out 10k of a product that's suppose to be somewhat limited i'm sure she doesn't sign em all. it's natural she's human.

 

i wasnt refering to signatures specifically or merchandise. I meant stuff in general.

 

The music industry is an industry. Record labels ultimate goal is to make money for shareholders and artists are essentially their employees. High up the chain employees but employees neverthless who do not have 100% control over their career. Some have more control than others but no artist has it 100% unless they own their own label and works for themselves

 

U just can never really be sure what stuff is sugar-coated or even full out made up to give an artist a better immage. Some artists may be more honest than others, but they are all a part of this industry and many are very good at making themnselves look better than they are

 

So while i dont believe everything is a lie, i dont take everything to heart either, and that includes even Gaga.

I agree it comes down to the industry, but I was talking more along the lines of just artist merch that is marketed at being "limited edition and including autographed so and so" which end up being mass produced and for obvious reason an artist may not sit down and sign thousands of booklets or what not but still admire the ones who do on a smaller scale of just a limited couple hundred numbers of a product.

 

and same for taking things to heart, specially with gaga with having in the past done so now it's everything with a grain of salt just because allot factors in not necessarily blaming just her, like with the Troy thing and certain projects having gotten dumbed like the app
