A couple years back, as he was preparing what would be his good kid, M.A.A.D. city album, Kendrick Lamar received a very strong co-sign from Lady Gaga. The singer showed up to the Pitchfork Music Festival to watch his set, before revealing that the two were working on music together. None of it ended up seeing official release, but an alternate version of "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe" with Gaga on the hook made its way online shortly Thereafter.
Still, there was a record called "PARTYNAUSEOUS"-- a song which Gaga said was originally hers, before she gave it to Kendrick to use on his own album. That song finally sees the light of day today, and while still it sounds like something of a demo, you can get a pretty good idea of what the album version would've sounded like.
Would you have wanted this on good kid? Let us know in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics:
Tell my mama it's bad karma, I just killed a man
Tell your auntie got to pardon me if I hide my hand
Fuck what you heard, this shit is revolutionary
Fuck what you heard, this is the last illusion, bury
Me with the nerve and ninety-five marksmen
So I can shoot this game until my trigger finger jam
I see red flag, I see blue flag
