I'm not a fan of the song but I always appreciate Gaga branching out, trying new things and working collaboratively.

I like the vibe, but I wish it was more like Cake like a flex track, I'd have kept T.I. feature and scrapped the rest

It’s so cringey and on the nose, bad.  It’s like they asked an old Conservative to describe rap music and they made it :bradley: Maybe that’s the point of the track but it’s not my cup of tea.

pop a 911

I like the iTunes festival version more with the instrumental breakdown (2:42)

No, I don't think so. ARTPOP was one big experiment so I'm glad she explored this genre. I am one of the few people on this forum who likes this song haha.

It's a nice track, I always have fun listening to it... but you don't have to listen to it if you don't like it

Yes and no.

 

I do like the first half of the song... But the switch on the second half of the track is where I find the song just drags

 

I don't always skip that track entirely, but I never listen to the second half

Yaaaas Gaga

I think it was a mistake in that Gaga always made a point of not following other trends and being more of a trailblazer, but it felt like with Jewels and Drugs she just featured a couple of rappers that were big at the time to help sell the album. I think it's arguably the least 'Gaga' song she's ever released and I don't think i've listened to it in about 9 years.

I think there were too many rappers in the song, if it was just T.I. and the DJWS breakdown, I would be fine with it.

But for the final tracklist, I would have replaced it either with Partynauseous with Kendrick or a solo version of Ratchet.

It would have been more fitting for her brand and more akin to fan's tastes if it was an all female collab. Imagine Missy Elliott, Nicki, Iggy, etc. all on this track instead back in 2013.
