I read that NYT article about her and it made her sound like a spoiled art school student who fucks/ manipulates her way to fame and has no actual talent or even knowledge of how to play music. But then again, she obviously did come up with this whole aesthetic and sound which is pretty unique.
When you write such a detailed profile, I think it would be tough to find any artist who's really all that "authentic." I mean how many American rappers really killed people and actually lived the lives they rapped about? How angsty do Trent Reznor or James Hetfield really feel sitting in their mansion with their millions reading Bloomberg News? They could write a song about how oil futures dropped 20 points or something.
- The person who wrote that article doesn't like her at all. Shame they couldn't create a coherent narrative to frame their objection.********

- Yeah also it seems like Diplo and some of her other friends don't like her anymore...who knowsukit
