Latino here. Chola Lana from Paradise is absolutely one of my all time favorite eras of hers. She appreciates and admires our culture and we love it. When she performed in Mexico the crowd was chanting “LANA, SISTER YOU ARE MEXICAN NOW”.

My man was a part of the culture in the 90s and he loves the tropico video and appreciated the representation, I hate how people are so small minded about this

Lana is literally the QUEEN of romanticizing her life

Finally, a video on just Lana's life and not heavy on personal opinions!!! Practically internet stalked her for years. I'm glad you were thorough.

@LauraLeeJ well I did commet half way through. And I'll admit you actually had a lot of opinions about lana in the second half .Some I agree with some I don't. But I actually think you still have a good understanding of what she's doing with her music. Also you did get her life facts which is what matters. I definitely agree that lana is not good at defending herself online and totally stuck her foot in her mouth . However, I feel a little different about all the feelings of other cultures in her videos. I'm not black or Latina so like you said I can't speak if I'm offended. I am Native American and wasn't exactly hung up on the headdress. Her friend made her that headress. It's true most tribes don't wear them, and when they do it's the highest honor or a great battle. However, as a Native I personally wasn't offended. Anyway, I still enjoyed what you had to say, and I didn't feel like it was lana attack. like most videos on her.

@LauraLeeJ also fans be wild , you should definitely be able to criticize everyone. I also do see that Lana doesn't take criticism well , she's so spicy about it lol.

Speaking about the Lolita topic… I HAVE A LOT to say about it, since it could be that Lana really experienced a lot those things and romanticized it in her songs anyway, because your view is kind of disturbed when you are the victim. That could collide with her teacher Gene Campbell, because her unreleased song „Prom Song ( gone wrong )“ was written about him allegedly… I think the internet misinterpreted a lot of her „harsher“ Lolita references tho - and made it seem how they want… like their own thing.

-Things to note: her 2014 Coachella performance, her 2016 stargirl interlude song with the Weeknd, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass audiobook was released before the actual physical book

I love how everyone hates that lana was born Upper middle class, yet has no idea that Taylor Swifts dad invested so much more money then Lana's dad in her career. No hate to Taylor but double standards for sure.

@kirchb ahhh I thought ya meant Taylor. My bad

The amount of petty and unfair criticism Lana del Rey had endured has been a disgrace, her past is not really our business so why did people constantly when she became famous drudge up some of her past problems or indiscretions let's say? And she wasn't saying anything bad about fellow artists who are women of colour, they just happened to be very successful women of colour who were not being criticised for some similar lyrics in their songs. Jeez one of the nicest individuals on the planet has suffered alot of hate in the last 12 years or so.

i don´t think having a persona is being fake. there are no fake personas, it's just another side of the "real" person. I reject the tought of being fake, because we all are in some point. Personality its a mask, so its kind of a natural persona.

it's been a long time since i filmed this, so not sure exactly what i said - but i agree with you! nothing wrong with a persona!

The Scorpio rising is her persona for real.

I have the same sun moon and rising as Lana and as someone who is building their own career i resonate for her so much

Don't know anything about Lana, just got interested in one song and your video popped up in my feed. After listening to her life's arc, one thing that stands out to me as a novice bystander is that Lana seems to have gotten consistently bad PR advice all her life. She's doing everything right, but saying everything wrong.

Lana is a living legend and one of the best living songwriters ♥️😍 very well made and researched video btw!

so comprehensive great job

ok, im really sick of people saying "cultural appropiation". we are in a society where all cultures are ensamble, we re in a globalized world, so it doesn't exist anymore something like an aislated culture. we are feeded multiple cultures all the time, and we all know where some things come (like the penacho that uses Lana in the Ride video), we all know she didn't invented it, but she didn't said it was hers. Culture apreciation it's the right term i think. But you eat chew so you vomit over others the thing that you eated vomited. Nowadays there´s a lack of critical thinking, you guys only repeat. Thts why Lana it's so hated, because she thinks, and says it. But other people doesn't want to hear real thoughts that are different from what they hear in all places taken by the media. (brainwash thinking)

I absolutely love your videos!!! Keep ‘em coming … I love watching and learning all these topics!

your work is awesome! thank you 🥰

We don't deserve lana she's simple, honest, straight forward and not a hypocrite like lot of other artists she's real af and the world is not ready for that level of realism. Of course you run the show babe but shaming lana is not cool at all. Anyways thank you for the video great 👍 research work.

If i could like this video 10 times i would

Definitely down for a Taylor deep dive

I read on a article that five points signed her for $50,000 not $10,000

Enjoyed the detail and your sense of humour but your intersectional postmodernist perspective is logically broken, boring and pointless by nature. That being said I enjoyed the deep dive so thank you :)

Shall we dance around your basic arithmetic struggles, as in 5 letters in grape, as opposed to the four,,🙂Mind, have to say, this is really good. I mean really good. It's for people who think and ask questions. I love Lana's honesty, and how she defends her lyrics. People assume 'the given', which will only lead to misunderstanding and frustration, when attempting to unlock the hidden depths of her lyrics,
