Poker Face – Kid Cudi ft. Kanye West, Common, A-Trak, Lady Gaga

My brother turned me onto this track a few days ago.  Its a pretty cool track.  Not sure if Kanye produced it, but it sounds like he did.  The drums kinda remind me of “Herd em Say”.  Lyrically, its not the dopest of tracks, but its still a cool track.  And catchy as hell thanks to that Lady Gaga track that they flipped pretty nice.  I’m definitely lookin forward to some cool shit from Kid Cudi and Kanye.

Common though…  Before I say anything… just know that I’m a big Common fan.  One of my favorite MCs.  But I have to admit that lately, he hasn’t really been spitting with the same fire he used to have.  I guess its another example of a case where “when someone’s eating more, they’re not as hungry as they used to be”.  Granted, he still comes smooth as hell, but the content isn’t all there.  And… when he quotes lyrics from more commercial tracks, (like he does on this song)  he sounds like an old man singing along with his nephew.  The track is worth downloading to get a laugh at Common singing Jamie Foxx.. “blame it on the aa-a-a-al-ca-hol!!!”

Lady Gaga…  She probably has no Filipino friends.  If she did, I’m sure that one of them would have told her that “gaga” in Tagalog means “stupid girl”… anyways…. I really hate that Just Dance song.  Why would she tell me that she needs to doo doo before she dances??  But, I did think that Poker Face song was kinda cool until I heard it like 50 times a day on the radio.  I was really starting to get annoyed by her, and all her songs, but then I saw her perform on American Idol… yea I said American Idol.. judge me!!  Anyways, after seeing her acoustic version of the Poker Face song, it let me tolerate her a little bit more, cause its pretty dope.  Just her on the piano, and I’m assuming that they sampled that version (unless she re-recorded it for them specifically for this track).  I’m gonna post up that acoustic version, as a little extra, cause I’m a nice guy.

oh… can’t forget.. A-Trak on the cut.  Dope, clean, period.  its A-Trak, what more do you need to say?

Well if you actually read all that…. Sorry…. but I’m assuming that you came here looking for these links:
