She got the chance because Rihanna took "LTWYL" tbh, and Eminem had to compensate for that in some way. To talk about Lady Gaga being not in the track in such a way is not right, she has a better and a stronger voice than Skylar. I would have enjoyed the song in the same manner as I do now even if it featured Gaga, I don't stop listening to songs just because the hook is sung by someone I don't like, there's some thing other than the Hook, nahimean?

If Gaga was on the track it would have been bizarre as fuck. It would feel completely random and make me grab something sharp to stick up my asshole.

Depending on what the song is about I probably wouldn't care. It's about the context and how he uses her. But, to get Lady Gaga on this track for no other reason than to sell would have been pretty fucking lame. I just wouldn't get it.

But Rihanna fit the song because of her experience with domestic violence.

Yeah, I know that. My comment was pertaining to the "sell out" part that our friend was talking about.

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.

Yes Gagas voice is versatile I agree but having her on a track with Em would make me absolutely cringe. No thank you I'd rather see him plastered on magazines banging Lindsay Lohan then hear this pretentious bitch on a track with him. Plus she would be selling out since Eminem isnt what she "stands for" and he is viewed as a "homophobe" by the general public, especially ever since she brought up how gays were percieved by hip hop music in an interview and basically referred to Em and his negative impact, I don't think he is her cup of tea. Plus he doesn't need her and he just needs to stay away from pop acts. Imagine him collaborating with Britney Spears back in 2000 to me it would be like that but not as big of a scale. It would do much more worse than good.

No one knew that he would work with Pink let alone Rihanaa, but he did on Recovery. What was the initial reaction of the fans when they saw the "Track List"?, "Pink! What the fuck? I ain't listening to those". Those songs ended up as everyone's favs and a smash hit. The same is for Lady Gaga, her voice is really artistic and if used in a way that would best suit Eminem's style, it would be dope. I'm not thinking that it would be a song where she is on the hook doing her thang, nah. She could give Vocal support throughout the song and it would actually sound good. Eminem doesn't need Pop Stars to sell, "Not Afraid" has also sold more; does it have a feature? No.

Thing about Gaga is that she is a talented singer, but if shes involved in the creative process then everything will go to hell. Having her on a feature would associate Em with the overproduced garbage shes put out.
