In defense of Jewels N' Drugs

[Morphine Prince 103,693]

For far too long this song has faced persecution in this fan base. I will NO LONGER BE SILENCED!

Jewels N' Drugs is a great song and I am NOT ASHAMED!

Starting with the iconic iTunes Festival performance: 

The "F*ck me Gaga" right before, ICONIC.

"From across the pond, T.I. They wouldn't let him into the country, poor thing." ICONIC. 

 

The visuals: 

 

The amazing DJ White Shadow production!!!! The solo in the performance especially!

 

The ICONIC lyrics!

Just to name a few: 

"Slap honey on a young pancake"

"Don't want your money, want your love" 

The part that makes me go CRAZY when Twista come in with FIRE and the production goes HARD

"Come and show me the gateway into your love
I feel like the money can never do it like the club
And I feel like a diamond can never do it like a drug
And I want it so come on and take it with me so that I can hit it
I can admit it, I'm influenced by desire when I approach her
I try to provoke her by givin' money and jewelry and accessories
Instead of the recipe of a legacy of takin' her to another place when I get it
Hold up
Twista be goin' in warp speed, breakin' atoms
Blowin' O.G. has got me creating antimatter
Let her pop it and smoke on it with me, now I got her
Because she be ready to party and then move to the club (Yes)
Because you know the way I think is an anomaly
And I'ma be strange as Lady Gaga
Probably a dollar be the business
But I'd rather be in an outer dimension when I be talkin' about jewels and drugs" 

 

Everything about the song was a surprise, unexpected sound, 3 rappers, and crazy visuals.

So chaotic, some may say it's MAYHEM.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[hamartia 264]

You're right and you should say it!!!! 

"Middle of the week, this ain't even the weekend" is iconic and referenced in my household constantly, usually on a Wednesday.

I never understood why it's so hated, it's not the best song on the album but it's fun and catchy

[Bobina 1,725]

I think the song is fun and goes hard af. But what do I know I'm just a toxic-positive 

[lastpopicon 7,176]

Spoiler

Gaga rapping is very underrated, maybe that's why I love starstruck too  

[Lucas 25,028]

All I know is that this song and Stupid Love are the only songs in Gaga's entire discography that I ALWAYS skip

[GagaGame 3,366]

It took 2 years for it to grow on me

Anyways I still hate the beginning rap part  There's something about it that I don't like and I don't know what it is

[Madame Goo Goo 3,733]

I’ve met sooo many little monsters in person and none of them have hated Jewels N Drugs as much as the people on this website do, and when I play it for people for the first time they love it. I personally love Jewels N Drugs and I’m with you about the persecution of this song needing to end.

People asked her to serve something EDM/rave infused that was very different for her, and when she did people had a problem lol. I guess this is an issue with the tension between rap and pop fanbases.
