General Lady GaGa Discussion

[Mr Blonde]

If Gaga teams up with any rapper, I will personally hunt down her tour bus and slash every tire. I'm not having that trash in my Gaga music.

Trash? You obviously have no idea what you're speaking about. You must be someone who has a very close minded view of hip-hop music.

[Archvile6]

Hip hop makes me grate my teeth and is absolutely insufferable to listen to. Rent-a-rap in modern pop music has ruined anything redeeming it could've possibly ever had. That's my story and I'm not changing.

[Blob]

Still doesn't change the fact Gaga has worked with rappers before.

Remember Wale?

She has worked with a lot of hip hop artists, but Wale was a favor as she was/is friends with Mark Ronson.

The only acceptable rap collab would be with Kanye. No one else.

[PopFolke]

My intense desire for a Gaga - Kanye collab hopes that he was at Beyonce's maternity ward the day Gaga visited her and Blue Ivy and they catched up and made plans to work together.

[Blob]

It doesn't matter if it was a favour or not, she's still done it. How is that not clear?

The circumstances don't matter, just because someone didn't like it or she did it purely for a non-creative reason doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I think she'd blend well with a lot of artists in general but I'd love to see her work with Azealia Banks.

Wow.

You go, Mr Blonde.

No, but it deals with the circumstances of a rap collab happening again, as given how the only favor she's ever done was for a rapper who later insulted her and talked shit, I doubt she's eager to work with any hip hop names who aren't either Jay-Z or Kanye West.

[Mvnl]

I'd like to think she'd be more openminded than thinking 'one rapper once insulted me > I'll never work with rapper again'

[Archvile6]

Wow.



You go, Mr Blonde.

Wow what? I hate hip-hop. SO? Why is that problem with so many people?

[DarkSacoura]

I don't know, I just don't see how anyone could so arbitrarily hate a musical genre. It's your reasoning that's annoying, as it tends to be.

I may not be crazy about polka music, but I'm not going to blacklist a whole genre, and I'm pretty sure there's a polka song out there that I would absolutely love.

[PopFolke]

I remember that she made it clear in an interview that she's isn't interested in collaborating with any of her contemporaries unless she knows them personally and it comes along organically, and it's not some shallow attempt at winning over the charts.

And she clearly prefers working with the *legends* i.e Cher, Elton John, Mutt Lange, Brian May, Clarence Clemons.

Oh, can it with the technicalities - I don't need you to preach to me about open-mindedness. I hate hip-hop and Polka. Sue me?

[Blob]

The original point was that she has never been involved with a rap collab, she has in fact been involved with a few. There's nothing else to it.

I would imagine she'd like to work with up and coming artists, I think Gaga is very clever and doesn't just collaborate with just anyone (mainly) but obviously there are times when she has (for whatever reason) and it may happen again. I don't think any artist is above collaboration of any kind. It's kinda upsetting that some fans are so against the idea of her exploring different genres with other artists.

Wasn't she meant to do something with Lil' Wayne once? I'd love to see what they could create.

Another would be Missy Elliot. In her prime Missy was the shit *Bring It On reference alert* and in my opinion they could come up with something epic. But obviously every fan has their own idea's of who she should/could/will collaborate with.

[TeenIdle]

I'd like to think she'd be more openminded than thinking 'one rapper once insulted me > I'll never work with rapper again'

I mean, she just has always seemed to not be a huge fan of the genre. She made her feelings clear about the genre and its main artists in her Fuse interview for The Fame Monster and the complete indifference by the rap audience to rappers saying homophobic things seems to really bug her. And like PopFolke said, she's kind of "above" - be it pretentious or not - working with people she's not close with or who aren't considered legends. I mean, she's a pop artist and she doesn't really like any Top 40 pop.

Who insulted her? I need to know where to send my threatening hate mail.

[Goodjorb]

It's funny how he was on of the biggest singles of all time, by arguably the biggest popstar of recent times, and then no one ever heard from him again.

Ha, "whatever happened to Colby O'Donis?" is something I wonder from time to time.

[JadeFan]

It's funny how he was on of the biggest singles of all time, by arguably the biggest popstar of recent times, and then no one ever heard from him again.

They tried to clump those two together because they were new artists at Interscope/KonLive/Cherrytree, right? Colby's album flopped and he was washed away into the oceans of dead pop.

[TeenIdle]

“I’ve done a lot of soul searching this past year.. You’re going to be, perhaps, very surprised with the woman that I’ve become, with my new music and my new album. It’s not that I don’t care anymore what people say, it’s just I couldn’t care any less what people say anymore. Because the only ones that matter to me are you. And you only live once, you only live one time, and before you know it…”

This actually makes me excited.

[Noir]

So her next album is going to be about death?

[SpaceDog2]

and before you know it... *album title*

???

[PantoponRose]

Where is that from?

She sounds like she's about to do something....big.

And it does seem like the album is going to deal with death, especially with the only thing we've heard being "Princess Die".

[PopFolke]

Exciting!

But where did she say that? In an interview? At her show?

[Saetana]

Can we get cute, romantic, Fashion of His Love / Eh Eh / Synthpop Gaga after that? Maybe when she gets married or has a baby.

No, just no, those are two of her worst songs. I cannot understand why anyone likes Eh Eh, it is such generic pap and its a song that really isn't worthy of her. Fashion of His Love is not quite as grating but I can see why it was a bonus track rather than on the main album, and I haven't bothered to buy it.

Bloody Mary is amazing, end of, its possibly my favourite track from the album - although it fights with Heavy Metal Lover for that honour.
