Ice Princess is trash. Why is she making a video for that when she has flawless songs likes Miss Amor, Soda, and JFK ready to gO.

Taylor Swift and her label are just so full of [ S H I T ].

I don't like ha in the first place but saying shit like "I don't think music streaming services appropriately value my ART" and then having that sale of 1989 for 0.99 cents.

Wow, J Lo ripped off the Mariah worse than I originally thought.

In XXL, Gotti is asked by writer Keith Murphy: "Is it true that Tommy Mottola asked Murder Inc. [Gotti's production company] to do the remix of [Jennifer Lopez's] "I'm Real" after hearing a song Ja Rule did with Mariah Carey on the Glitter soundtrack?"

Gotti replies: "Ja wrote a song with him and Mariah singing back and forth on the title track. I get a call from Tommy Mottola, who I have a great relationship with, and he's like, 'I need you to do me a favor. I want you to do this remix for Jennifer Lopez. I want you to put Ja on the record.' Immediately I knew what he was doing because we just finished the Mariah record."

The Mariah record Gotti refers to is "Loverboy," from the movie Glitter. Carey had picked out a sample from Yellow Magic Orchestra's recording of "Firecracker" to be the basis of the song. She and Ja Rule worked on it, and the song was included on daily viewings from the filming of Glitter.

But Glitter was a Sony Pictures release, which is a sister company of Sony Music. Mottola, according to sources who worked on the movie, was surreptitiously viewing footage of Glitter while his ex-wife was shooting it.

"Mariah was so paranoid about the music getting out that we had another singer sing the temporary versions," says a Glitter insider.

"When Jennifer Lopez's record came out, and had the exact same song, we knew she had a right to be paranoid. We couldn't believe it."


Bitch stole a number one song right out from under ha.

Whenever Ice Princess comes on, I'm just patiently waiting for the chorus to hit.

When Gimme A Chance kicks in to that latin sound, it's absolutely elevated to godly.

I always wonder what would have happened had she continued her success and I think I prefer it the way it is now, with her comeback during EoM. I imagine her just fizzling out afterward and fading into obscurity, but honestly don't know music trends well enough to know if anything she released from that point on afterwards would have continued her dominance. Or if it would have been enough to overcome Glitter's impact.

Yes!! I never liked the song for a while because I use to skip it all the time. Then everyone was talking about how good it was......... Then that Latin beat came in and she started rapping in Spanish. I was received that day

When was that? Her label rarely discounts Her albums on iTunes.

I can't think of another artist who would be more fun to just sit and kii about old industry drama with.

...and now she's back at Sony. Funny how things work out.

Mariah her SECOND COMING OF BUTTERFLY cometh

I still think she has it in ha'. I mean, she's already cemented her legendary status but I'd love for the haters to seethe if she garnered the most numbers of all time.

Honestly, I always believed that Mariah is probably really fun to hang out with. Like, I can totally imagine her just kicked back in VIP, drinking champagne and going in on ALL the gossip.

And whenever Mimi gets tipsy she ALWAYS gets out on the dancefloor.

But doesn't that same story about J.Lo also mention that Mariah was sued 3 times and settled out of court during the 90s? The original Beyonce tbh.
 
I'm so cold I'm dripping icicles
I go and take your man, that n**** might miss you
Spent his whole commission on my neck and ear
To stand around me need to have your winter gear
Pay me coats and benzies it's that burg ice
That's why I do not feel these bitches frost bite
Grown money ever since they done I make my own money
You broke honey? And they call me BANKS cause I can loan money

You're flashing bright in my eyes
You're all I've done, all my life
And things aren't now what they seem
We're kings and queens of my dreams

Come under my skin
Rush through my face
I need your light
I’ve been chased
To a stormy place
Shooting up to the sky

Honestly, I also think there are better and more interesting songs on BWET, but I can see why she's promoting Ice Princess next. After Chasing Time (which was rightfully the first single and one of the best songs on the album), Ice Princess the most demonstrates that Azealia can be viable on radio.

The other tracks, while artsy and interesting, wouldn't really work. And at this point Azealia needs to be showing people that she can make money for somebody. Smart move for her.

I need to play Bloodborne with pop music. I'm too afraid of the game to play it normally. I'm sure if I played ALEJANDRO I would get a recreation of the music video though.
