Racist Brushes with darkness won't help you create your destiny of self is talking about how creating your own destiny isn't helped by depressions and negativity - ARTPOP could mean anything so essentially she contradicts that line right after it. Go Gagz. At least that's how I read into it...

The best part of that song is "come to me HEEHEE with all your subtext and fantasy HEEHEE just do that thing that you do HUHEEHEEHEEHEEHEEHEE in a perverse hue." The Michael Jackson tees are overflowing.

China's record sales.... aren't good

But Gagz is so popular there she could shift over 100K if there's lots of promo about ARTPOP's release there. China is the 20th biggest music market in the world, which is actually pretty small.

1B people and they're only the 20th biggest music market??

Well, it's something.

100k the 1st week will be great!!

It's 'subtext' or 'context'?

Ooooooh no, not 100K first week, I mean in it's lifetime in China LOL! It's super hard to know because most places don't track China (like it won't appear on mediatraffic) but apparently Chinese monsters are saying she's absolutely huge there because her style matches a lot of their culture so she's on billboards and in magazines every week nonstop... If she were allowed tour there, she would be snatching some $200 mill grosses again.

Subtext. It's the extra layers of meaning to her ARTPOP I assume.

I got reported for saying that Nicki Minaj could perform certain acts to me with a specific female sex-device, yet people are always saying they want the D from hot guys that are posted yet they are not warned. If that is not sexism what is? Where is the justice who for guys can take it from a woman??


But yeah, mentioning Angela Cheng when its about china is racist. She could be from Taiwanese heritage
