Structurally this one is a bit of a mess. There are two hooks; the second and best of which doesn’t come until after the halfway point. “We know how to make that money,” Gaga sings, so she doesn’t want yours. She has her own Jewels too. What she wants is your Drugs and your “love”; the former of which she can buy with all the money she has and the latter of which is an irrelevant subject nothing else in the song deals with.
The Too Short feature is surprising. As long as he’s been rapping, I don’t think he’s ever been featured on a song by an artist this popular before. There should only be one verse by one rapper though; of the three, I’d pick TI; and his verse should come not at the beginning but about where Too Short’s is. Three rappers with little to no association with each other only crowd the song in an awkward trap remix sort of way.
