I am so glad you two are on the right side of history. Artpop walked so Chromatica could run.
Except ArtPop was actually good.
Let’s make one thing clear...Chromatica never walked never mind ran lol. it sat it’s ass down after the VMA’s as said “I’m good”
Artpop ran on RedBull while Chromatica had a Dr. Pepper. Artpop is far superior to Chromatica.
Chromatica will never be as good as ARTPOP. Bloodpop ruined it
@@jonymaggio23 It's a decent album but it feels like a lot of songs that have something missing -- either the chorus is blah (911), the lyrics are meh (Plastic Doll), the vocals are blah (Fun Tonight, Replay) or the production could go harder (Free Woman). Not to mention per usual Interscope released songs that shouldn't be singles (Stupid Love, 911, Sour Candy) as singles/promo songs while ignoring the songs that should've been singles or promo songs (Alice, Enigma, Sine From Above, Babylon). I mean, Alice and Sine From Above are clearly the best mix of vocals, production and lyrics on Chromatica but they've been completely ignored. They did this as well with both Born This Way and Artpop, where they outright ignored songs that should've been singles (Gypsy, Venus, Electric Chapel, Hair) or they got the order of singles incorrect (like putting Mary the Night after You and I and Judas when it should've been the follow up single to BTW, or releasing G.U.Y. after all momentum for Artpop was dead). Even on Joanne they ignored a song like Diamond Heart in lieu of inferior songs John Wayne and Perfect Illusion. For what, exactly? Who the hell knows.
JUSTICE FOR ARTPOP
ARTPOP LIVES ON FOREVER
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Venus was my shower ANTHEM! And, honestly, it still would be if I hadn’t almost broken my neck several times. You can’t help but move to Venus.
Her best and i will take no other answers
Artpop was my first full gaga album that i listened to and it’s remained my fave! Justice for Artpop and justice for the original MANiCURE chorus!
It was the first one for me too....LOL .. and instantly I become GAGAFAN 🥰
@@williban5555 yesss, and ever since artpop has remained one of the best albums ever
I prefer the new chorus actually.
But anyways:
Justice for "I want expensive things..."!!!
Venus being scrapped as the 2nd single and not getting a music video still haunts me. 😭💔 I was really excited on what visuals and concepts we will be getting. And I really expected some Greek and Roman mythology and some cosmic/astrological, classical-psychedelic art visuals in her future mvs that time. But I really loved that era (especially her street looks!). Because it was the most artistic era of hers.
Here is the quote from gaga about the meat dress, it isn’t just random out of no where ideas, there is a meaning behind it. “For me this evening, if we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights pretty soon, we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones.”
and people are realizing that artpop is such a masterpiece until now in 2021
guess im a time traveller?
i also love how on the pre-chorus of aura"im not a wandering slave i am a woman of choice. my veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face" and so on part she's "screaming" and being more aggressive but interscope made her have her vocals more "calm"😭
Exactly! When I first heard the new vocals for the first verse, I was like, “Wait! Why isn’t she screaming?” 😂 -Steele
@@TwoGayMatts ikr??? HER LABEL DID HER DIRTY !! 😭😂 #JusticeForARTPOP
When Artpop came out I was NOT having it but I recently listened to the full album and LOVED it!!!! I'm not sure why it took me this long but I finally came around!!
Ahead of it's time, really
pls Swine at SXSW was a MOMENT, a cultural reset it was iconic.
Omg thank you for saying Aura demo is significantly better for that “and in the bedroom the size of him’s more than enoOoooOOOooooUUuuUuUUUgh” I literally was saying that right before you said it. ARTPOP is such a criminally underrated album. Chaotic, provocative, and pure GENIUS.
YES In "Gypsy: when she sings "If you'll go with me" and then "see the world with me." I completely relate. I loooooove this album. My top songs from it are: "Sexxx Dreams" "Gypsy" and "Swine!" Don't cancel me.
SCHWWWWWWINNNNEEEEEEEE
Venus got a semi-Video in the Artpop short film! (it's like 9 minutes in total) Artpop (Song) and Sexxx Dreams also got the same treatment :[
ARTPOP is a masterpiece, it is the soundtrack to my life. It was ahead of its time!
ARTPOP hit No 1 on itunes a few days ago, so... JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED 🥳✨
The meat dress was about DADT. She had arrived to that VMAs with several discharged gay veterans. Also, Gypsy reminds me some of TEOG but it reminds me more of Hair. She actually co-wrote the song with RedOne, which makes me think it was originally meant for the BTW era.
Artpop is a sonic masterpiece! One of my fav pop records! #JusticeforArtpop
Jewels N’ Drugs deserves so much more💖✨ Iconic song! Period👈
I dont understand why everyone hates Jewels N' Drugs so much !!!!! Its so ahead of its time !
@@joshmyburgh yes I agree! 💯 percent!!! Tell me why I can just imagine Charli XCX coming out with a song like this right now in 2021. 2013 wasn’t ready for a song like that. So ahead of its time!!✨🌈🔥
She had the vomit artist in the fame monster era as well guys
I saw her twice in that era, never saw the vomit lady. I would remember that.
Vomit artist was only Artpop era, trust us, lol.
The woman who vomited on her during the SXSW festival (I think her name was like Millie or something?) did also do work with Gaga during the Monster Ball, it just wasn’t using vomit lol.
@@volcrazy89 she was actu@kly a party of an interlude during the monsternas 1.0
@@JM-rn6hs Yes but she didn't vomit on her
I remember my first Semester of college and in the midst of depression and then she dropped this album and I've ADORED and praised this perfect album ever since. #ARTPOPlives
P.s ARTPOP was released in November 2013... lol
ARTPOP is amazing song, lyrics are fucking amazing, it's the best
I remember being 17 and waiting for ARTPOP 🔵 those were the days 💕😻 I loved the ARTPOP era from begging to the end ❤️
The May release you guys are thinking of was Born This Way in 2011. Which by the way, is turning 10!!! Judas is 10 today since it was one of the singles before the actual project.
i was at gaga’s itunes festival show !!! it was like a fever dream
Me too, artpop sounded so good too.. especially hearing it for the first time that night I was freaking out
ARTPOP IS HER BEST ALBUM. IT HAS AND WILL BE FOREVER.
Gaga explained her interpretation of the meat dress to Ellen, saying, "If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as much rights as the meat on our bones." She also said it was to highlight her distaste for the US military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy
I love ARTPOP, it's the album that got me into Gaga in 2016. Definitely her most experimental and creative piece of work while also being her best sounding album in terms of sound quality (the mastering and mixing on BTW is a bummer, even though the songwriting and production ideas that were thrown into it are incredible). My only complaint with Artpop is that when it gets to J&D, the rest of the album loses cohesion completely.
If I had a chance of going back in time and decide on the release of the album, this is the track order that I would've put:
1.- Aura
2.- Venus
3.- G.U.Y
4.- Sexxx Dreams
5.- Do What U Want
6.- Swine
7.- Artpop
8.- Applause
9.- Donatella
10.- Fashion!
11.- Mary Jane Holland
12.- Dope
13.- Gypsy
Deluxe Edition: Manicure, J&D, Applause (Empire of the Sun Remix)
So lemme explain. The album is conceptually divided by halves, which represents the two spheres of her persona. The first half is about Love and Sex. She starts as a God-like, powerful, erotic figure that descents into a more human realm while losing power of herself because of being abused by media and people (tracks 5-6). The track Artpop is the centerpiece and serves as a transition from one sphere to another. The second half of the record gets into the more mundane sphere and how she portrays her power based on the superficial and materialistic (tracks 8-11). She loses herself to Fame and drugs and reaches rock bottom (track 12, which one could say it's the album's climax). The closing track, Gypsy, is a hopeful ending to the album. The deluxe Edition tracks: I discarded J&D for obvious reasons. MANiCURE it's a great pop track, but it doesn´t fit with the rest of the album for it's pop-py instrumentation, it would make a Deluxe Version worth it. And I added that remix of Applause because it's fantastic.
I could write a whole essay about this album.
The verses of Mary Jane Holland is one of my highlights of the entire album
The way she wears chairs in the live performance too. Best one
ARTPOP was the weird kid that everyone took for granted. When in reality, just like Gaga’s other projects, it left impact on today’s music and years later it is PRAISED (much more than before).
I’m screaming through the entire video !!!! I’m obsessed with y’all!!!!! Art pop was ahead of its time !!!
I remember when I first heard Aura, I wanted it to be a single so bad, I thought it was going to be the 3rd part of the paparazzi-telephone trilogy (it would make sense too, her killing beyonce’a character in the MV in the beginning, just imagine how iconic it woulda been) . And. i agree, VENUS shoulda been a single too and shoulda had a MV! along with Swine, Aura, Applause, GUY, Do what you want. Lastly, im surprised that Gaga has not yet released a visual albym, knowing her as a creative genius i thought she woulda been the first female pop artists to do a visual album. Either ARTPOP or Chromatica shoulda been a visual album!
Btw Do What U Want was released in Mexico as a solo version on a compilation album (and that version exists on TH-cam) and it’s the superior version imo
It’s just incredible
This album came out at such a pivotal time in my life where I was in such an amazing place, I will never forget the album roll out, performances, ARTrave & hearing the album for the first time. An era for the memory books!
Artpop means everything to me. I’ve been so excited and I’m so happy people are finally appreciating that masterpiece
The meat dress actually had a meaning haha
Great video! Also, I think they were comparing Dope/IWBWY to Lorde’s Royals at the time which is why Interscope wanted it as a single 😂
FAHION! Is one of the most fun & easy going songs. reminds me a little of David Bowie way of singing. I love it!!!! also ARTPOP is the one of the most unique songs in the album about creativity and the constant struggle of an artist to remain true to himself and his artistry while still wanting to sell. I love it too
This has always and always will be my favorite album of all time, i was so sad i never got to experience her preform live in the art pop era! Got to see her during Joanne but Art pop just hits different!!!
I need Friends like this to talk like that 😂😭😭🥰🥰
Y’all are so funny 🤣🤣🤣 JUSTICE FOR ARTPOP
I love Artpop with all of my heart and it's been a pleasure to listen to you praising it as well
She literally explained the meat dress on ellen after the vma's...
I think they got the explanation for Alejandro and the meat dress mixed up. The meat dress was about DADT, not Alejandro.
OMG YOU GUYS ARE TOO RELATABLE
Just when I thought you couldn’t be more relatable you said you graduated from NYU... 😂😂😂
I feel like 2013 was the last year of this giant buildpop of a mainstream popand social media era that started around 2007. We had Gaga, Beyonce, Katy, Rihanna, Britney, Kesha etc pretty much on top of the charts. There's never been a pop time like that. I feel like Gaga was riding the high for so long with The Fame, Monster & Born This Way that the haters also grew and they were just ready to push her off the cliff, regardless of what album it was. I feel like it took years from her career and she only recovered from this during her Star Is Born era.
Swine is one of my favorite tracks from her ever! That beat goes so hard! I love it!
I so wish a video was filmed for VENUS! I’ve listened to it at least 10,000 times over the years (no exaggeration). Absolutely LOVE it! 🚀
Born This Way is completing 10 years in 2021. Please, make a video talking about this album (That should win that AOTY on the Grammys)
Venus is technically featured in the GUY video!
Artpop is Avant garde
I remember listening to this non stop for months and months. It was such an epic album. MJ Holland, Gypsy, Fashion, Venus, Artpop, GUY, Aura god there are more but i love all those songs. Oof
Literally singing my heart out to each song on artpop while watching this!
I think the artpop was released in the wrong year. The album is bop. The art in it is bop. The 2013 era was just the era of Prism.
Love you Gaga!💗
That pre release concert for me killed the album because some of the versions were better at the pre release concert than the finished album. I remember listening to the album and singing the other versions and being like wait what the hell this is not the same 😂 I still love art pop though
Artpop became number 1 in billboards 200. Here is please
I miss that “more than enough” too!!
and HARD agree on Jewels n’ Drugs
I agree! It deserved more, make it loud!!! I’ve been addicted to Mary Jane Holland though. It makes me high every time I listen to it!
Also thank you for saying SWINEFEST version of Manicure is superior with the bridge being the postchorus HEEEEEEEAAAALLLL MEEEEEE cause I’m addicted to love. What a HOOK 🪝
i’m so fking glad!!!!! you guys said everything my heart ever yearns to tell about artpop!!!! agree wholeheartedly! 🧡🧡🧡
The Fashion! performance with RuPaul was my first exposure to the album, I fell for her coke bottle condom fantasy 🙌
The "Venus" video was supposed to be directed by Ruth Hogben
This video should’ve been made in 2016 but I’m glad people are finally thinking about this album, it’s my favorite
The song ARTPOP is actually insane. One of the most unique songs I've heard, especially coming from a pop emperess (at the time)
In the first verse, art is singing to pop (“Come to me, with all your glamour and cruelty / Just do the thing that you do, and I’ll undress you” - "The *melody* that you choose"
In the second verse, pop is singing to art (“Come to me, with all your subtext and fantasy / Just do the thing that you do, in a perverse hue” - "The *color palette* you choose"
In the chorus, art and pop tell each other that they can belong together as one entity without separation or distinction. In other words, ARTPOP (one word). Not Art Pop, ArtPop, or Art-Pop.
It's just so high concept wrapped in a mesmerizing beat served in the most delicate & strong way, a perfect hybrid. I've never heard anything like it EVER.
Oh and don't even get me started on the lyric "Lovers' kites are flown on beaches for public sight" like why is that sentence so beautiful dawg why did I get chills down my spine just typing it?
Love the video, but the meat dress was part of the Born This Way era, not Artpop and the message was about Don't Ask Don't Tell...
I think he was just using the meat dress as an example
Meat Dress was The Fame Monster era. She accepted it during the 2010 VMAs when she won VOTY for Bad Romance. She announced her next record was called Born This Way while she was wearing it after she won, but Born This Way, the song, didn't come out until Feb. 2011 and the album came out in May, so it wasn't the BTW era yet.
@@volcrazy89 But she wore that dress when she first announced that her next album was going to be called Born This Way so that's why I grouped it with that era.
@@Hugo-G Announcing the name of her next album doesn't mean an era has started, lmao. The Monster Ball didn't even end until May 2011, which admittedly meant the eras of TFM and BTW overlapped some, but in no way shape or form was the BTW era in 2010. You can't say an era has started months before a single came out. All we knew was a few lyrics from the song and the title.
OMG whole era was so crazy, even street looks were fucking crazy, amazing performances, those two music videos are fantastic. I love this whole era so much and I call her entire career ARTPOP.
ARTPOP is out of this world, galaxy, space and time. LOVE IT!
About the meat dress, Gaga explained that the outfit was a statement about one's need to fight for what one believes in, and highlighted her distaste for the US military's don't-ask-don't-tell policy. We are all meat, we are all the same and equal.
A vital episode of Two Gay Matts. It's time
Oh, and she was crying so hard in that Dope ad because it’s the day her old manager left her
Whereee? What ad??
@@saggytheclown9101 it’s the Dope performance at the TH-cam Awards, it was turned into an ad
i've watched 30 seconds of this and decided we must be best friends IMMEDIATELY. JUSTICE!!!
I thought I was the only one who thought ARTPOP(song) gives Love You Like A Love Song vibes 😭 I heard it since the first time I listened to it 😭❤️
Gypsy is my go-to song and my fave right after Judas in all of her discography. Artpop really deserves justice!!!
my favorite song from the album and Lady Gaga is fashion! I literally feel on top of the world when I hear this song, it makes me feel good
Gypsy is the best song she’s ever made no one even @ me
Roar was a Coby of Brave and Applause is on its own unique.
YESSSSS same loves it
I remember being OBSESSED with Artpop when it was first released. It wasn’t until a few years after its release that I heard people had roasted her for this album & thought it was horrible. I was so surprised
I’m so glad I have the CD so I can listen to the original DWUW. It’s a damn shame but I totally get it.
This video is excellent. Love you both
OMG, no, no, noooo…..ArtPop is a signature song for her….it’s about her identity as an artist. She’s not just a pop singer, she is creating multidimensional art. Everything about her is art/creation/something for people to react to. I think ArtPop deserves WAY more love Matts-it’s who Gaga is! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Baybee, let me tell you something. Lady Gaga isn't even all the way my type of gurl, but "Applause"? I listen to that song on repeat while I'm running, no matter how far I run. I love it.
The intro was great, fucking legends 😂
Meat dress was a statement on Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, she was accompanied by gay service men and women who were discharged
I honestly need friends like these guys haha
We deserved the leaks of all the visuals
This is perfect in all senses.
honestly a legendary era, unmatched
So glad you enjoyed "Venus". I love it so much. My sister and my friends don't understand my love for it. I always felt I was alone in the world loving this song and it's chorus so abbaesque so great. This song is one of her best and the music is incredible. The instrumental version is on TH-cam and I can't stop listenning and singing to it.
Plus I so agree with much of what you said it's incredible. Yes Jewels 'n' Drugs is a mess that don't belong there and that doesn't work. Yes, if G.U.Y. was released earlier it would have been a massive hit, and yes Sexxx Dreams is great even with the break and the laughter. It's so nice. I love it. I never thought it sounded like Prince (I thought it sounded like Kylie Minogue like it belonged on her X album or something) but you're right, it also has an important Prince feel, now that you've mentionned it.
But I don't agree with you on the song Artpop, it definitively belongs in that album and in that particular place because half way through the album on my first listen I already had a headache (because of the chaos and of the loudness of some of the songs and for me the song Artpop is really a needed relief there. But besides that, I agree with you and your video is great. Kudos.
Urgh I loved this era and then watching society reject it broke my soul. Out of all the concerts I've been to, ArtRAVE was the best too!
First of all I’m loving this second of all I JUST said to my friend that DWUW is like one of the cornerstones of this album and that it sucks not having it on there (but we understand why)
What about the app
i still have flashbacks to when ARTPOP dropped and tumblr was war
I didn't like ARTPOP when it first came...and I still don't like it to this day lol HOWEVER, I bought it on iTunes because I really want to support Lady Gaga, and I believe Act II will be amazing if she releases it.
I would also argue that ARTPOP is her most cohesive as well on the production side. Many of the tracks are Zedd and the other tracks are made to sound like Zedd.
I think you guys make some good points but please know your herstory. ARTPOP wasn't a comedy show. Also, the meat dress (previous era) had a meaning and she was extremely vocal about it being about discharged gay military personnel during Dont Ask Dont Tell. She wasn't just "doing whatever" during ARTPOP, and its almost comical the way it is depicted here. There wasn't one thing that she was doing that didn't have a meaning, whether or not it was lost to the general public. Also, it wouldn't hurt to do a few readings on ARTPOP to know what her vision was for it. Watch The Culture Show interview with her and then some others.
I dont understand why people hate on artpop like if u like artpop get out of here ARTPOP IS AN AMAZING ALBUMM
Justice for ARTPOP indeed
I love Fashion! And Gypsy
Unpopular oppinion: I think the whole album should have sounded like the title track.
love this video u guys are so funny
God ARTPOP era was so toxic for her but it was a great album!
