"Kendrick introduced this record as his much talked about Lady Gaga collaboration. Neither the title nor the producer were mentioned. The beat on this comes in real smooth as Kendrick follows with his usual catchy vocal effect. This record has a Cali feel and we see it as potential single material. K.Dot repeatedly recites “B*tch don’t kill my vibe” which will likely to get stuck in listeners’ heads. Gaga on the hook is not what you’d normally hear on her Pop songs so fans should be excited to hear the final product. Her sound flowed really well with Kendrick’s killer verses and harmonizing. This is for sure to be a highlight on good kid, m.A.A.d city."
Kendrick kicked off this song saying Lady Gaga was on it but honestly, we couldn't even hear her vocals. Considering the chants of "don't kill my vibe," it's likely that might be the title. On the record, Kendrick laments, "I'm a sinner whose probably going to sin again." Aren't we all?
The first song Kendrick let rip was his much-talked about Lady Gaga collaboration. On it the Fame Monster sang of being a sinner, while Kendrick rapped about the changes around him and the new hanger-ons he’s acquired since becoming more famous.
The highly anticipated collaboration from Kendrick Lamar and mega pop star, Lady Gaga, is far from herlast collaboration with another Interscope rookie, Wale. This song is more of a Kendrick song than a Lady Gaga song, which should serve as a relief to those expecting another rendition of "Chillin."
The song has a bluesy/jazz feel with some strong instrumentation from the unnamed producer on the record. The same voice altering feel that you get from the hook on "Cartoons and Cereal" is on this record with Gaga and K.Dot trading voices throughout the bridge and the hook. "I'm a sinner, I'm a sinner, please don't kill my vibe" the two chant throughout the record.
Gaga also offers some mini-bars on the record but nothing to overtake the real star of the show, K. Dot. She is in more of a supporting role than a big feature and if you didn't know better, you would barely notice her on the track.
this'll be dope
anyone who wasn't expecting it to sound like kendricks other records were kidding themselves anyway. was never gonna be a pop-rap record like wale & gagas chillin' for example
Why is everything Gaga does "hype" whereas other artists are just promoting their stuff? Katy was talking about going dark on her next album before TD:CC even came out. Are we all constantly slamming her for hyping things too much?
Why are people disappointed, the track has positive reviews. She's a feature and it should be just that and not her overpowering the main artist. It seems like it all blends really well. I'm still looking forward to hearing it.
