Miel 15,009 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 From the opinions that I've seen based on ARTPOP's other songs, I think people really dislike it because it kills the 'party' vibe. I don't know, that's exactly the reason why I love it. Especially after MJH, which in its own thematic content is disconcerting, the full-stop really emphasizes the story behind Dope. It's an incredible song, probably the best on the album and one of her best overall. Sad that neither Dope nor IWBWY made the tour, though. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Ga Ga 5,671 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 It's my 4th favorite on ARTPOP, under the 3 singles. I think people hate it because they can't relate to it, well I can relate to the metaphorical meaning of the song, 'cause I don't do d--gs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle 4 Ur Life 6,650 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Dope slays. "'Cause I won't be used for my love and left out to cry." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry 17 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The lyrics are awkward and clunky. The central "need you more than dope" hook just doesn't work.Honestly, it's not THAT bad. I can listen to it all the way through if I'm in the mood. But the chorus still makes me cringe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterofFame 1,785 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I didn't like Dope mostly because it's too dramatic and eerie. Rather than feel sad, I get a bit creeped out when I listen to it.. it's like the difference between hearing about your friend's problems vs. them actually crying to you about their problems. Since the song has minimal production, it's hard to ignore this and like it just for the song itself. Everything I just said was 100% intentional when Gaga made it -- she wanted it to be a dramatic song about addictions with minimal music. I just don't like it.
