This is Cudi's second single, formerly known as "Poke Her Face." I guess the name wasn't too radio-friendly. Lady Gaga's vocals are also featured throughout the track. Goes for adds July 27.

I prefer "Day n Nite," but I like this quite a bit too. Lots of fun. Very catchy.
That said, it seems like a tough sell for a crossover to pop.

I don't like this. Day N Nite was much better.

This is such a hot mess. The Lady Gaga samples sounds so out of place and random. I like Kid Cudi, but this is just a disaster.

This isn't bad, but Day N Nite was better. I'm not expecting much from this track, but the Lady GaGa sample might help him reach the top 40. Speaking of which, I think they re-named the song, because they had some sort of conflict with Lady GaGa's label.

I gotta get back into this song. This is taken from GaGa's acoustic performance of "Poker Face".

I've always liked this song. I think the sample was really clever the way they used it, and they sort of did it first, the "poke her face" thing. I'd love to see it blow up.

This is by far the weirdest song to come close to hitting CHR. It really is a mess- like two different songs are playing and you don't know which to listen to.
The radio edit ruins the point of the song by censoring out "when I" from the chorus. So now it's just Kid Cudi saying "make her say" and then Lady Gaga singing "oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh P P P Poker Face". I don't know why they tried to make this a single. It would be cool as a little Youtube clip, but as an actual radio song being promoted? Not so much.

I'm not against songs with sexual lyrics and themes, but this song is disgusting.
First, I don't really like the Gaga sample used (which was apparently from an acoustic performance as stated above). Just personal preference.
Second, I despise the main gimmick of the song, which is Gaga singing "P-p-p-poker face" when Cudi makes it obvious that they are "poking" a woman's face.
Third, I don't like that Gaga approved the use of her sample in this song (or at least didn't try to stop it). That makes it even worse.
Fourth, I don't like that Kanye referenced "I Love College", which is (right now) the worst song of 2009.
And fifth, Common's line: "But they say 'You be on that conscious tip.' Get your hair right and get up on this conscious dick." Fuck you, Common, and fuck this song.

This is a clever gimmick. Seems like the hip hop industry is really courting Gaga right now. If she became the new hot female guest singer for rap artists, that would be an interesting turn of events...

I'm on the fence about this one. I do love Gaga's acoustic "Poker Face", though.

I thought Kid Cudi was one of those rappers who was complaining about the stupid, demeaning and sleazy messages of rap music?

If she became the new hot female guest singer for rap artists, that would be an interesting turn of events... Yeah, right now. But she had urban/rhythmic artists Akon and Flo Rida on her songs. Kardinal Offishall and Gorilla Zoe appeared on the remixes to JD and PF. What (rap) song isn't obscene? It's about "getting brain", right? Last year we had "Lollipop". |

It was originally entitled "I Poke Her Face," but they changed it to make it more "suitable" for radio airplay. That's understandable. I like it. What rap song doesn't talk about sex? "Every Girl" is far worse, IMO.
