Well, folks, you can officially call it a wrap for “trap” music. As you might have heard, attention ? Lady Gaga “leaked” a rap song to the world that is basically her own take on the ever-increasingly popular trap sound. We’re talking big 808s, plenty of snappy snares, and all sorts of hi-hats.
The thing is, the beat I just described and even her raps are basically exactly what you would expect from your average “trap” joint that hits the web every 1.5 seconds or so. She “rhymes” about trick ? , all the money she makes, and every other stereotypical thug-errific boast we’re so accustomed to these days.
Now to be fair to “trap music,” any hip-hop head with an ounce of knowledge will tell you that this sound has been around for years and years. It’s nothing new, per se, but like EDM, for example, it has broken into the mainstream and become commonplace. You know, like every other ? fad out there.
But now that Gaga’s taken on trap—in an obviously ironic and eye roll-inducing manner—is it time that we declare the sub-genre to be dead? Or is it simply going to retreat to the grimy underground it belongs and instead of in the forefront? Plenty of folks have argued that racism is at the heart of trap music becoming so popular, partially because it’s been utilized by folks who have never stepped in or near a trap house. Is this just like when Paula Abdul got MC Skat Kat to rap on her “Opposites Attract” single back in the late ’80s? Or will people just forget about this in a week because, you know, the Internet?
I know I’m asking a lot of questions here, but that’s mostly because I don’t have the answers. I also don’t know how to react to all of this. I kind of want to simply take it in stride and believe that all the elements of good-ass trap production can remain a staple in some circles. I also want to believe that there’s nothing racist about this because, honestly, that’s an entirely different discussion.
So all I can ask you to do is listen to the two versions of Gaga’s “Cake Like Gaga”—one is the original and the other is pitch-shifted to show that it is indeed her rapping—and answer as many of my questions as you can.
So what are your thoughts on this? We already know from that K-Dot album listening party that Lady Gaga is doing a song with him. Could she be tackling hip-hop of the trap rap species?

oo ? lol

It's not 'trap rap' if she not rapping about..."Trappin'"
-
First off, no ? at you finding this.
Second, C/S @ptowndonte. Haven't heard the song, but I'm quite positive she's not rapping about birds and ? , unless it's actual birds. And only old white cats in suits and ties in offices create subgenres in a culture they didn't create.

Yeah yeah yeah with that "no ? " b.s. Insecure-ass nikkas. )
Seriously though I heard them both out of curiosity and one of the tunes has her normal voice so you can hear that it was her rappin' on the screwed-out pitchshifty vocals. She's just trying to emulate a trap rapper on there using the same formula that the music uses--808 beat backing absurd lyrics on how she's caking big and putting the smackdown on ? ' cake muthafuckas. Just your regular "Gangsta Fairytale" that Ice Cube warned us about back in the day. -
She even got the Lil b "woop" in the background.
-
Im not a fan of trap rap really, or this generation of trap rap. But it offends me that she can do this and get away with it.
-
Rap lost this is like madonna trying to rap on some gangster ? back in the early 90's.? is getting out of hand.
Oh by the way GABBAGE! -
Lady Gaga Produced by Lex Luger

I rather hear Shaquille's Oneal albums before i listen to this. i rather listen to destiny's child christmas cd. (but on the other side, if she acknowledges good rappers like kendrick lamar, and wants to work with them, that is a good sign isnt it? NOT saying that she should work with them, not at all)

Yeah becuz making DJ Premier style boom-bap beats are way harder to make and require a lot more sophistication coming from the Producer
If u don't know how to rap or make beats then remain quiet in the dialog
1. Premo has what to do with this?
2. get out your feelings
3. if u dont know how to keep your skirt from flying up then remain quiet in the dialogue -

just because it's 808 heavy with hi hats doesn't mean it's trap music
-
Low-key this ? is tough, if it was Lil B ? would swear it was based out this world
