Morphine Prince 104,440 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) 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. Edited February 22 by Morphine Prince 9 3 14 3 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamartia 760 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) 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.

chromaticangel 79 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I never understood why it's so hated, it's not the best song on the album but it's fun and catchy skeleton guns are wedding bells in the attic 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobina 1,999 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I think the song is fun and goes hard af. But what do I know I'm just a toxic-positive "634 blowjobs in 5 days. I'm really quite tired." Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastpopicon 14,930 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Loving the recent jnd conversation coz I hated it for years but recently I've been listening to it AND enjoying it. All about the dollar better go and ask Gaga Gaga Gaga #justiceforjewelndrugs Spoiler Gaga rapping is very underrated, maybe that's why I love starstruck too The melody that you choose can rescue you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 25,641 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 All I know is that this song and Stupid Love are the only songs in Gaga's entire discography that I ALWAYS skip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaGame 3,461 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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 𝚎𝚢𝚎𝚜 𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝚒𝚗 𝚎𝚌𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚜𝚢 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Goo Goo 3,801 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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. Lady Gaga doesn't owe us anything 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 12,348 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 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. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
