I love this. I would probably add "Show Me" (a Beyoncé / LeToya co-write that didn't make their debut album), and "Once A Fool" (from that 90s NFL compilation album series where stars sang alongside rapping/singing NFL players)

So why didn't they work with her? A narrative has been created in OP that Lady Gaga essentially had to forge her own path because her idols isolated her. It's so easy to say they were threatened... but I don't think that's the case. Correct me if I'm wrong. The message the first post gives is that she is giving respect to the new girls because she didn't receive respect from the last generation when she debuted.

Don't you find it interesting he would mention an unreleased mix of the song we're now hearing in part today? You might need to give your head a shake... because it's looking like they revisited a circa '06 chopped N' screwed version of "Back Up" but added new vocals on top.

My girl always does her homework.Is it her biggest hit? She has two diamond records, and two other records that are diamond eligible. "Drunk In Love" (released three years later) is 8x Platinum right now. That claim seems factually incorrect. I included Beyoncé here because all of these ladies that were considered "difficult" by y'all just expected some respect.I'm glad. It's already on streaming under "Ring The Alarm (Spanglish Mix)" ... so let's leave that embarrassment where it belongs lol.I find it interesting how many legendary female artists and/or their strict estates (Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Bjork, Grace Jones, Tina Turner, Rosetta Tharpe, Linda Martell, Nina Simone, Barbara Streisand, Liza Minnelli, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Selena Quintanilla) have worked with, covered, permitted sampling, or planned to work with Beyoncé in some capacity. We continually hear she reportedly reaches out in a refreshing manor; like a respectful fan and not an equal. Did Gaga approach them with humility?Nice f. DRAM Blow (Remix) f. Andre 3000 Water f. Rema Suddenly all would be right in the world.I call CAP. You know we can see your down-voting history, right?I agree. If his parts went to MAXWELL, Bilal, Andre 3000, or Robin Thicke though? Considerably better song. It's a chop, Pharrell.I agree, but ever the generous queen, it looks like it was shopped to Rich Harrison's group RichGirl soon after her project came out.She saw the ATRL threads Gaga's fanbase has been opening the past few weeks and changed her mind. Can't blame her.BOP.Looks like the B'Day bonus track bundle & "Donk" are now off the market and on streaming platforms.
