There is a hidden, deeper, philosophical meaning in the song "Chillin" by Wale feat Lady Gaga. (Yea, seriously) In this video essay I will attempt to explain how Lady Gagas lyrics, exclaiming attention, vanity, and wealth, are almost poetic in their representation of American Culture & Capitalism. To me, Lady Gaga has left a unique mark on pop culture. She is the first pop artist to truly & completely be sculpted from the capitalist, postmodern, American gaze. Let us all do our patriotic duty & recognize this fact.
