Something about Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is just perfect in my eyes. If you don't agree with me about this, you can ignore the text below.

Lady Gaga's full name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. She was born on March 28, 1986 in New York City. (Surprise! She is even younger than me.) She is the eldest child in her family. Her father is an internet entrepreneur called Joseph Germanotta. Her family was not wealthy, her parents "both came from lower-class families, so we've worked for everything – my mother worked eight to eight out of the house, in telecommunications, and so did my father", Gaga said.

Gaga is talented in music early in her childhood. When she was 4, she learned to play piano. When 13, she had already been able to write her own piano ballad. The next year at her 14, Gaga began performing at open mike nights.

When Gaga was in high school musical, she did not fit in school. A former high school classmate said recalled that "She had a core group of friends; she was a good student. She liked boys a lot, but singing was No. 1".

Gaga then went to New York University with early admission; there she continued her favorite thing – Music. While studying music, she improved her songwriting skills. She felt that she was more creative than her other classmates. By the second semester of her sophomore year, she withdrew from the school to focus on her musical career. "I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find, and ate shit until somebody would listen," she said.

Then Gaga's vocal abilities were recognized by Akon. Then she released her debut studio album 'The Fame'. Then she became super successful with the two singles in the album – "Just Dance" and "Poker Face", and has been included in Time magazine's annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. Then Gaga becomes 'mother monster', and calls her fans 'little monsters'. In 2011, Lady Gaga is going to release her second studio album 'Born This Way' on May 23. I'm looking forward to it.

O hai
i'm that guy
built so fly in a silk bow tie
don't know why i'm built so fly
but i am, no lie
oh my
rolled by on a low ride Huffy
sitting on the pegs, shelltoes puffy
cuff rolled up to my calf
class out the ass
bad with the swag like buffy
Gotta be the one to bite the bullet i'm sinner but i bet I coulda been a better man
I wanna be zen. but I go sipping on some medicine instead of meditating but I get when i can
I don't wanna wind up in the gutter with a bottle of malt-
liquor, bitter cause i never got a call
telling me
that it's all
figured out
i'm sick of doubt
but i'm looking at the wall
part of me was hoping to be caught up in the moment and to be open to the good and the God in me
but i got a labotomy and i get that I oughtta become a bit of an oddity when somebody gets offended by the thought of me
who's he? you gotta be kidding me
do me like Gabourey Sidibe
if you see me with a chickadee
no diggity it'll be giggity giggity giggity
gonna send it like a letter from above
with a woman that I love
cause I get it like i live
but if my baby's gay I'll say you go gay baby, work that crib!
work that bib
burp that kid
screw po-lice
flip that car
i don't want a Jesus piece
but i want a Reece's Piece and a Kit Kat Bar
I want everybody focusing on getting me to Letterman to kick it for the betterment of innocent Americans who never want to settle for their pop
Or not--
my bedroom rocks
and the beat still knocks
when I sort my socks
i'm five foot eleven of sex from the tip of my head to my gorgeous knees


The video drew a big response from the YouTube community. YouTube call the fast rapping the new regular rapping.
