Kendrick and Lady Gaga doesn't even SEEM like a track that would work, his team was probably scrambling to make the most unpop non-garbage song possible and it STILL wouldn't have fit with the vision for M.a.a.d City...
Gotta give the salute to K.Dot and team for keeping artistic integrity first and foremost
Got to give Lamar's team props for not wanting some pop trash on a hip,hop classic
top dawg entertainment
I hate when the labels act like the first release on a major is someones debut.
But they in fact wanted pop trash on the album if they asked for Gaga to feature on it
So we know what the song sounded like?
It is, it's a completely different creative process.
How the fokk does Kendrick have integrity when he wanted the Gaga feature
Gaga has integrity for blocking the song after Kendrick's people tried to fokk with it
I see you spin shyt however you like just like with Nas having writers
Ok let's utilize Common Sense here shall we?
Kendrick and Lady Gaga do a song
The song ends up NOT fitting Kendrick's vision for his album (I.e. the song ends up sticking out like a sore thumb)
Kendrick and Co retool the song so it better fits KENDRICK'S vision for HIS album
Lady Gaga doesn't agree, so instead of acquiescing to Her obvious star power and crossover appeal, Kendrick and Gaga decide to at this time NOT include the song on HIS album, therefore maintaining the ARTISTIC INTEGRITY of HIS VISION for HIS album....
Is that simple enough logic or do you need pictures?
And Nas having writers is another matter entirely, Nas hasn't been accused of requiring Ghostwriters by ANYONE CREDIBLE for TWENTY YEARS, and we're supposed to believe he needs Ghostwriters for songs on Untitled by a woman who was defending Jay- Z on Twitter....with absolutely NO PROOF while the two artists in question of writing flat out DENIED doing so?
Again, I think you may need a picture book...
it was Gaga doing the deciding not Kendwick... if Gaga agreed to Kendwick's camp's changes on the song it probably would've made Kendwick's wack ass album
that WALE track was thrash manee...how do you NOT blow up with that.
