thraed of DOJA CAT

i have no idea what the substance of peoples objections in here is beyond "it's terrible she's working with dr luke" which fair

she said "faggot" on twitter one time

admittedly this is based entirely off 'moo' but idk I'm hardly gonna give her another chance now am I, right

you gave her another chance, imago!

man this new record is hella horny, probably wind up as one of my favorites for this year

lol i mean because it's a good record, not just because it's a horny record

lmao blink-182 co-wrote "bottom bitch"

it's a "what's my age" again sample!

it's slowed down so much i couldn't tell

the new album is wild, loving it so far.

plz leave the gays alone and go listen to something else lol

this could use a song or two like "cyber sex" and "more bite" in the back half... it starts to drag a bit. "better than me" is really dope tho. the way she goes from singing to rapping in some of these songs is amazing. "so sick" is like kyline minogue ft nicki minaj done by one person

Omg just heard her for the first time. Love "Juicy"

everything about "bottom bitch" is wonderful

this is soooo good

why do any of us need this cutesy soft-trap sexy sex ringtone nonsense

just me or i could see the lickspittle on my screen as i read these?

if deej consents we can threadban lj right?

The three-track run of rules, bottom bitch and say so is *chef's kiss*

"rules" is really great

A few of these songs are pretty good. Her aesthetic tho :(

…what about her aesthetic, are you old or something

Ok boomer!

That's on point; she's the embodiment of a Twitter meme.

which one?

What does this even mean as a criticism? I can’t believe this is the place where poptimism ruled, meme just means thing that is popular

I'm joking, mostly. Tho I don't get "pop" in the context of this artist; every pop and R&B artist around seems better to me. If she's meant to be more of a rapper, then maybe I'm making a category error.

owns

I taught a class today and built a test account named "Doja Cat".

Hip class but only two ppl knew who she was :(

explain what you like about the aesthetic

i said the songs were fine lol

This is so weird. I kept seeing this thread. Didn’t realize DC is the artist my 12 yo is obsessing over.

your child has good taste

I know. Not my doing.

"juicy" is a remarkably stupid song. currently undecided as to whether i actually like it.

only other song i heard by her is "moo" which i didn't find charming but perhaps i'll dig deeper sometime

omg that and four other songs on her album are cowritten by dr. luke

i guess that didn't stop me from liking that kim petras song

for being a song w/ tyga about asses i find "juicy" to be (like much of her music) very witty

it is! a number of lines are quite clever, certainly not dimwitted in the slightest. i guess "stupid" isn't quite the right word... more silly, i guess?

it's also been in my head all day so safe to say i like it now

she's very viral on tiktok now, i think a lizzo-esque blowup is imminent

which host do u think she’ll be paired with on SNL?

it's really weird and random too... at least "good as hell" and "truth hurts" are like big pop songs. the doja stuff that is blowing up seems really random, i don't really understand it at all. but good for her.

"say so" is pretty good i should note, but i like the similar song w/ gucci mane from the album much better

the guy who used to record as Saint Pepsi thinks he was ripped off

dr luke ripped off my biggest song for doja cat's biggest song and did it to the exact point where it would hold up in court

I mean...yeah

like Doja Cat's is very clearly a sample of Good Time so does St Pepsi believe Chic retroactively ripped him off too?

idk if "say so" is a sample of "good times" as much as it's just a very similar-sounding record. i'd say the same for "fiona coyne." imo dr. luke just is a very unimaginitive producer, he's done this reheated disco/french house thing several times now (cf. kim petras "sweet spot")

I pointed out the Good Time connection on my burner Twitter account and uhhh St Pepsi is angry at me lol.

def don't wanna be Capn' Save a Luke but I don't think Pepsi would win in court.

i think he knows that

I thought by 'hold up in court' he meant a legal copyright challenge to Luke would hold up in court

it's confusingly worded but i think he meant the opposite

no I think it means the opposite, it's juuuust different enough that he wouldn't have a case. tbh I think it's possible that this is a coincidence but "Fiona Coyne" is a relatively well-known tune & knowing how these songwriters work it's definitely plausible he heard it and ripped it off

I remember an article a few years ago where Google did this, they offered an artist some token amount (like, less than a grand) to use one of his songs in a commercial, he told them to piss off, and then the ad folks at Google just re-wrote the song themselves but changed enough so they couldn't be sued. And he went into exactly what that entailed.

It's funny to hear stories from the other side of that, like from friends who do spec work making beats & music for ads. Like this one client had an Anderson Paak beat as a reference, and said "but give it your own spin", of course. A few revisions later, it turns out what they meant was "literally replay this beat, with the same rhythms and details, without the license fee".

this is going to be the first really big hit for dr luke after the kesha lawsuit, right? i wonder how doja cat is intending to answer questions about him in interviews as i'm sure that'll happen if the song keeps climbing the charts (and everything atm indicates it will)
