Why

So Doja calls herself a rapper but her label wants to shoehorn her in somewhere else for profit and you rockin with the latter?

so the other guys stops just saying "no shes not"

im not that familiar with her music but she seems like a rapper to me

Because why would unreleased music count in the artist’s discography

My entire argument this whole time has been about her officially released music

I mean I get what you're saying but nah lol

Pop Rap at the most, but literally nothing in comparison to Doja who literally makes Pop music

That's why I said the comparison makes literally no sense

This has nothing to do with her label

She’s not independent, so yes, all her officially released music is label controlled

Doja Cat has more in common musically with an Ariana Grande than she does with a Meg Thee Stallion

Man dismisses mixtapes and questions Doja rap roots

I’m not dismissing anything. If it’s been officially released, they should count.

I’m saying UNRELEASED music should not count

It’s not unreleased music tho. It’s not random s*** from leakers. These are official songs she put out under the Doja cat name before she was on.

I remember like 2016-17 type s*** my ex used to like her and she was def not the type of artist you would classify as a pop star and not a rapper

She dropped them on Soundcloud lol

Lmaoo so if Doja won best rap album y'all would be happy?

NO SHE F***ING DOESNT

IGOR won best Rap album and that wasn't Rap lol

What projects are you referring to specifically?

Her first project on streaming services is the Purr! EP and even that’s under R&B/Soul, and that wasn’t her label because there’s no label listed to it

DOJA AND ARIANA APPROACH MUSIC IN COMPLETELY TWO F***ING SEPARATE WAYS

She does

You’re smoking crack

Then you must also change the argument from “is she literally a rapper or not” to “does she have enough rapping to be fairly considered a mainstream rapper”

And if it’s the second…42.5% is enough to be considered a rapper alongside whatever the other genres are, no?

Let’s remember she can be literally a rapper even if she isn’t hiphop culturally

bro you are clinically insane

And it shouldn't have been in that category, Tyler said it himself I'm pretty sure.

You’re insane if you think musically Doja is closer to a Meg than an Ari

because if she is considered a rapper, she's selling more than his favorite rappers and that pisses off his fragile masculinity, so he's putting her in the pop crowd

And I would say the same if Doja was put in that category as well
