Twista's verse is the bad one on the track, tho. I'd honestly only swap out Too $hort.

I didn't mind it. However, ARTPOP was two different album concepts merged into one. One part of the album was about art, avant garde pop and experimental electronic music(Aura, Venus, G.U.Y., ARTPOP, Donatella, Swine, Fashion!, Gypsy, Mary Jane Holland and Applause), there were also a number of unreleased tracks in that style. Then when creating ARTPOP, she went through an urban phase where J&D, Sexxx Dreams, DWUW, J&D, Cake like Lady Gaga, Partynauseous, Red Flame, Ratchet, etc. were recorded. I think J&D would've been better received on a specific urban pop album that was given more time to fully flesh out the concept of. I'm imagining it could've blended pop, light R&B, Rap with dance oriented hip hop beats.

I wouldn't say it's a mistake, I mean, I don't think Gaga would put a song on her album that she thinks is bad or doesn't belong there.

But personally I don't like the song and skip it everytime I listen to ARTPOP :bear:

I agree but I feel it should be the opposite. T.I is apparently an abuser so she should’ve scrapped him and kept the rest

I like it but gets exhausting after a while. Too many features

This, I really feel like it would've benefited the song had a feature/verse been cut.

I still enjoy the song regardless, it's definitely one of those songs you have to be in the mood for though. Otherwise as others have said, it's a really well produced song and the instrumental is killer :vegas:

it deserves it's place after the 1-2-3-4 punch as the weird filler track you kinda bop to, transitioning you to another part of the album.

I mean… :glamourpuss: maybe we can say it was one of her worst at the time, but after Joanne and Chromatica, there’s a lot more to chose from as her worst song.

tbh i love the song and i love how she presented it at Swinefest by saying she's a fan of all types of music, aren't you? It really opened me up to being accepting of different types of music and I love her for that.

It's one of my most listened-to Gaga tracks nowadays. I really dig the trap crossed with hyperpop vibe it gives. If we get an Act II, I hope it leans more in that direction.
