Kanye West 1,676 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I really don't understand this whole "music not the bling" message. It's completely false. Certain fans claim you can either have commercial success or good music, when that obviously is not the case. Gaga has made incredibly unique and different songs such as Bad Romance and Born This way which achieved incredible success and critical acclaim. Critics hailed Bad Romance as a musical masterpiece. It was the biggest song of 2010. The Fame Monster is her most well received album to date and is also her most commercially successful album to date. Born This Way was also a very different and experimental album which was very successful. There is absolutely no reason why it can't be music AND the bling.

artpopmess 369 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 She meant it in the way she's not going to make music that knows it's going to sell instead she's going to make music she likes and if that music finds success then that's icing on the cake.

Hauser 1,262 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 "music not the bling" was just a cop out, all it really was: "Im going to say this music is super artistic and experimental which is why it will not sell well".TFM is the perfect example of "music and the bling" lol great quality music and great sales, the 2 aren't mutually exclusive.

She's signed to a major commercial record label. Interscope is always going to push her to be a commercial success. Look at what happened to Born This Way's later singles and the entire ARTPOP era due to this. It sounds like she should be with a different label if that's what she wishes to do.

VforVendetta 2,024 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 This same thread has been made many many times in the past. The whole phrase is about the priorities of an artist. Gaga's #1 prority is the music and not the money. Just that, simply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye West 1,676 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Umm ok whatever, lil managerInterscope is not an underground indie label. It is a major commercial label. This is a fact, not opinion. This thread is for discussing the whole situation in a mature fashion. If you want to be insulting then please find another thread to participate in.

Hexxx 2,244 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 TFM was experimental Imo. i mean who would have thought someone would like a song that goes "Rah Rah Rah AH AHA" It's definitely a masterpiece. i think it's all about the melody.

Miel 15,009 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Well, think of it as a less dramaticized version of "I hate that money/shoot it/bang bang" from MB.Of course, money is crucial to her artistry- in a capitalistic system, it is unfortunately crucial towards everything. She is more than likely stating that her music and artistry isn't based in material need- rather, it's just a bonus. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjang 2,262 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah, it's pretty lame hearing her say that when all of her singles during the ARTPOP era were safe and played by the basic rules of commercial music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Pinkman 4,660 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Gaga enjoys the finer things in life. It's quite obvious, and nothing is wrong with that because she works hard for what she has. I get what she was saying, but in retrospect she shouldn't have said that at all. It's science, bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
