would the gas first compressed enough to ignite into stars before taking on so much mass they collapse?
I think so. These massive blue-white stars would - I think - still need to go nova before becoming a BH.
Or would they?

Although the gas may eventually become compressed enough to start fusion, if there is enough gas falling in, the fusion will never produce sufficient energy to counter the crushing gravity. A relative state of equilibrium between gravity and the outward flow of energy will never be established. You really can't consider this a star. Gravity wins out and a black hole is created.
This is all made up... stars most likely form from an electrical pinch in a birkeland current; there may not be any fusion going on in stars; you can't believe everything you read on wikipedia
