Rapping about something worthwhile doesn't sell.

Nobody really wants to hear that.

If you're going to accuse Lady Gaga of ripping somebody off, at least make it Grace Jones.

Madonna was a good lead. She has about ten songs that are direct melody ripoffs of Madonna songs. Grace Jones ripped off Cher and Bette Midler so the ripoff circle is complete.

You know how long ago 98' was?



Lauryn Hill couldn't repeat that success in this day and age.

If Lauryn had stayed on the right path she would would have been a superstar by now.
