I’ve been on the fence about cupcakke for a while now, after enjoying those first youtubes deej posted, but this new album is dope.

this is definitely the one that feels most like a statement of intent so far. really digging it, glad she's kept on keeping on

Good album. I had to lower it in my office.

I was cold on the album the first 24 hours but I've been blasting it all week and it worked for my road trip yesterday. "Cereal and Water"!

This sucks.

This is, uh, definitely not the thread or place for the larger discussion, but this is a perhaps unforeseen consequence of streaming only. What happens when the artists themselves just decide they don't want it out there anymore?
More importantly and more seriously, that does suck. I hope she's getting help to battle her demons.

This also seemed to come on the heels of some K Pop artist's "hive" coming for her and digging up some stuff that warranted cancellation. I wasn't in the mood to go down the rabbit hole, deej was commenting on it

Oh geez, hadn't heard any of that mess.

That's a tough watch, all these people talking shit in the comments too.... It must be horrible to be an artist now, with all noise coming from every direction. She sounds like she's doing the right thing, best to get out now a and rebuild.

The stanbase is saying some pretty cancealable shit itself about how she should “know her place” & her comment about one of the kpop rappers was pointing out his obviously appropriative schtick But kpop stan culture is not discourse it’s propaganda

on the "plus" side, at least going by the replies it seems like there's very little chance of this getting promoted as a feel-good story anywhere

so sad
