GAMS 1,685 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I'd also like to throw it that the song served a purpose, whether or not it's liked. The collab featured three of the most iconic rappers who openly supported the end of homophobia in the rap world. This was a huge deal for them to collab with Gaga. Kudos for them to executing something dope and fresh. GAMS, gay popstar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for them to executing something dope and fresh. "Jewels N' Drugs" is also a song I did with DJ White Shadow, and he really shines on hip-hop records, and he hails from Chicago, so thereâs a lot of trap influence on this song; but it really starts on kind of in a space where trap music started, and really grows into a more electronic, sort of innovative progressive-trap song. And I was really excited to work with T.I., to work with Too $hort - whoâs really amazing - and Twista, whoâs from Chicago. So, you know, thatâs a very special song for me. Also, because a lot of times when I have these hip-hop collaborations, they like, dissipate, into thin air; and I think itâs because, these rappers like, go back into their crews, and their groups, and everybody goes like âI donât know if you should work with Lady Gaga, âcause sheâs got like, gay fans, and you know, I donât know if thatâs gonna be a good look for youâŠâ but these guys are totally fearless, and they just donât care about any of that, and they really wanted to make a record that was inclusive, that involved everybody, and they werenât afraid to bring those communities together and put them in one room, and I really appreciate that. đ€ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born This Way 1,575 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I really wish the orchestra intro wasn't in it. There's something about it I hate and I just skip it. Reset my mind's IP, delete what I don't need Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsieur D 2,878 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I love it and I don't care what people say about it It's a bop and I bop HARD TO IT. I dance to it, I play it in my car, I train with it. I loved it since day one. Donatella as well is pretty hated in here, but it's a BOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostitute Barbie 4,013 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 How I used to feel about it: How I feel about it in 2021: Especially compared to so many other rap songs that have the same 4 notes put to a repetitive beat, I think the complex production makes it one of the most interesting things sheâs ever done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I never like it is because it sounds like 4 different songs cut and put together. Also it's so try hard and lazy at the time. how can you be trying hard and lazy at the same time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, Gaga is a great writer and she could write a good rap song, but she made the most basic and stereotypical rap song there could be in terms of the lyrics I was also surprised she let some of those guest lyrics go on her album. Like TI literally raps about organised murder and shootings. Doesnt that kinda go against everything Gaga's ever preached about The whole theme of the song is weird given her thing at the time was "music not the bling".  Regardless, DJWS went OFF with that production, like he was just showing off on that thing. And I do enjoy Gaga's vocal delivery. Overall this song is definitely not one of her worst songs, I'd say it's more mid-tier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShayCristoforo 10,223 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Itâs not bad, it was just a bizarre move. To go from BTW album to an album that includes hip hop. I appreciate it though, although the song seems a bit forced if you know what I mean. Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HausOfAntonio 7,822 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 JnD is a GREAT song. The instrumental is immaculately produced, Gagaâs verse is a slap, all the features do a great job, its catchy and edgy. Just wish theyâd kept the breakdown tbh.
