Trina featuring Lady Gaga “Let Them Hoes Fight”
It always feels like an amazing thing when Lady Gaga does a guest spot on somebody else’s song. For someone so calculated in her every career move and paparazzi pose, it just seems like she wouldn’t waste her time playing “hook girl”/ featured act on a track unless said song was on an extremely epic tip, a level that “Let Them Hoes Fight”, her new collaboration with “Baddest Bitch” Trina, comes nowhere close to reaching.
Produced by Jim Jonsin (who also helmed Trina’s biggest hit to date, the 2005 Kelly Rowland duet “Here We Go”), “Hoes” is Trina’s wholly unnecessary three-and-a-half-minute-long attempt at invading the electro-dance-rap scene, featuring her tossing her weave and slinging out un-funny disses (“He keep sending me these drinks/ Cause you lookin’ like his grandma”) at jealous females in the club giving her the stink-eye while 8-bit blips and bleeps and faux-eerie organ synths twinkle all around her.
Meanwhile Lady Gaga’s main contribution rests on a forgettable chorus that paints her as (gasp!!) a third-rate Ke$ha, which is a sad reality, especially considering this would’ve probably been a far more interesting ditty had the “Tik Tok” singer (with someone like Kid Sister replacing Trina) been involved instead.
Trina’s fifth album, Amazin’, drops in May.
