Em said no to Lady Gaga for INAD in favour of Skylar Grey

[legendstatus]

Of course eminem doesnt need pop stars to collab, I'm sure we could all agree he is the epitome of anti pop but I feel as though if they did collab it would feel so forced and for some sort of motive that has nothing to do with the music. Her voice, Gagas that is ,can convey a lot of emotion so I'm sure it would sound good, but gaga stands for completely different things and well a track with her would be the last thing I would expect from Eminem for many reasons. And we can't really compare Pink and Rihanna to Gaga, like previously said pink has always been a bad ass and anti prissy pop "stupid girls" and rihanna also is a reoccurring vocalist on many hip hop tracks she is always used for a hook and chorus, she has also experienced what is being said in the song. But with Gaga it's kind of like "why the fuck did he collab with her" it also doesn't help that they are both on the same label, interscope must be eager to get them together. That's why im so opposed to it because I feel the only way a collab would happen is if there is exterior pressure from the label. That's just my opinion though, hopefully you understand where I'm coming from

The song could be a real bad ass if it happens.

Glad Eminem let Skylar stay on the track though, helped propell her. And lmao I just rewatched the 09 VMAS when Eminem gave gaga the award, his facial expressions are priceless, anyone catch him doing his tongue in cheek thing he does when he needs to laugh when she thanks god and the gays

Haha, I just watched it again and noticed it. I love when she reaches to get her Moonman from Tracey and Em's face is like, "Jesus Christ". You can tell in that split second his mind was in his own 'happy place' cuz he sure as fuck didn't wanna be near that wench.

He also refused to sit next to her at the VMA's last year.

Really lmao I had no idea, who said this. And it's weird since she is on the sane label and close with the whole interscope team. I'm dying at the part when he tells him to hold her moonmen and he is kind of like "bitch who the fuck you think I am " her whole speech and his axial expressions were killer he clearly wanted to get off the stage.

LTWYL is different because the song is about domestic violence and rhi is a victim of domestic violence. On Won't back down Pink's image as an artist is pretty rebellious and whatnot so she fits (plus the hook is dope as fuck).. Gaga also brings with her an image, though her's doesn't have anything to do with the context of the song and thats why Im glad she isnt on the hook for INAD.

You have a point, but Skylar doesn't fit in that song if we go by that logic. The thing is about talent and versatility, and Gaga has a more versatile voice; that's all what I'm trying to say. We cannot say that Eminem and Gaga can't work together, she probably doesn't fit this song, but there's always an another.

I prefer Skylar's voice and just Skylar in general.

But she's so monotonous..........

It's just a hook, you can't expect that much diversity in her performance, lol.

And it wont make the song unlistenable or bad too.

You know, I would've been interested to see Lady Gaga on the INAD hook. Only because Dr. Dre says the word "faggot" in his verse. I'd be interested to see how Lady Gaga would cope with the dilemma I guess. Would she simply turn down the collab, because it has a word she deems to be homophobic? Do it anyway, but say she disapproved, or even claim she didn't hear his verse before singing the hook? Try and force Dr. Dre to change his lyrics (this seems lol-worthy, but she's done similar things many times before to other people)?

But I would've hated Gaga to be on the song overall. She is a good singer, a good-ish songwriter, and a talented musician. But her songs are SO boring, and she has the most annoying fanbase I've ever known. I've honestly never hated an artist so much in my life tbh. It's such a sad state of affairs that a pop singer can release 10 songs that sound exactly the same, and be called "original" by the right-wing media.

Confirmation that when he said "GaGa's dope" here he was just talking out of his arse.

wait, what? what exactly does that video prove?

and i agree Sukot her fanbase is fucking bonkers and she fuels them up with her whole put your paws up garbage she is starting a cult, and she is probably the most overrated artist of the last 5 years no joke.

That's all Em' seems to do lately, avoid drama.
