DJ Snake denounces Lady Gaga's work methods

My translation in English :

'I worked with a lot of big artists, Lady Gaga and so on... I had a lot of pressure, a lot of disillusion, a lot of frustration. I was kind of sick of doing music. When I think about it right now, I wonder how they made me sick of it. 

I do things with my heart and when they asked me to work on an album for one or two years and at the end they change everything you did or everything you envisioned, it's a bit frustrating. There's also a lot of things I can't say...I was very fed-up. 

It was a jungle, I saw it as a challenge and at the end they slapped me in the face. It was a good experience, if I had to do it again, I would.. It was just hard to bear. It was like an emotional roller coaster [...] It was like a request for proposals.

I've done like around 4 or 5 tracks with Lady Gaga, I really can't complain. But it never has been my own vision. [...] I was like a cat in a lions' world. However I learnt a lot. I can't bite the hand that fed me. I probably wouldn't be there without all the things I learnt with those projects.'

He also agrees with the interviewer saying big artists ask for a huge amount of producers, picking sounds amongst about fifty for only one song.

I think the change he's referring to is the last minute changes Interscope pushed for in ARTPOP? DJ Snake was a producer on ARTPOP after all.

Right, sure...

ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

Things like that happen. Sometimes it just isn't possible to create the sound that every party agrees to. When people criticize an album, the artist that album is released under takes the most blame. Hence in this case of course Gaga has the authority to change whatever she wants.

Go work for a basic bitch that doesn't have a say in what she does, then.

If anything this just shows how in control of her sound Gaga is. Of course she wants her own vision.

He's not wrong though...

I mean why calling a producer if you don't let him giving his own vision of music.. Now I kinda understand why she had DJWS in most of her record... The guy doesn't seem to have a lot of authority...

But yeah at the end it's Gaga's record, and she, her manager and Interscope are the one who decide at the end.

So he's saying that he is incabable of producing a song that satisfied Gaga at instant? Isn't that a self-proclaimed lack of competence?
