After the release of his debut album good kid, m.A.A.d city, Kendrick Lamar has won over music critics all over the country, many already calling the album a modern day classic. Before the album was released, rumors that Lady Gaga would be featured flared throughout twitter, but the singer was not on the album. Gaga posted a version of Lamar’s “B-tch Don’t Kill My Vibe” online last night, in which the “Born This Way” singer croons the hook of the ethereal rap track.
The clip shows Gaga on her private jet, as she travel the globe in aid of her Born This Way Ball tour, showing the singer filming fans from her hotel room and driving to tour venues.
Lamar told MTV that Lady Gaga was supposed to be on the original version but wasn’t due to label issues and the rapidly pre-order date caused the feature to be cut. Instead, Kendrick sings the hook on the album. The duo also collaborated on another song called “Partynauseous” which was dropped due to similar reasons. Gaga posted on her blog that while she loves Lamar, she was unwilling to meet the compromises his team was demanding, but that the song will be released at a late date.
