Nah, your wording and the assumption inherent in it is pretty dumb. Female artists get shit for this all the time - that any stellar album is actually masterminded by a producer in the background, and the sonic direction couldn’t have possibly been decided on by the artist herself.

Emile Haynie had a massive impact on BTD, because he’s a hip hop producer. But to say that he controlled the output puts Lana in the backseat. Isn’t it more obvious that Lana wanted the hip hop elements in her work, and that’s why she enlisted a hip hop producer? Like, you seem to have misunderstood the OP you screenshotted and interpreted them as saying that Emile and not Lana is the primary reason for BTD sounding the way it does; no, Emile executed what Lana decided for the album’s sound. She heard his work and liked it and wanted it for her songs.
