    Shout out Jayda for making sure Beverly Hills made it to the final cut. She was a 100% right.
    When an artist is as versatile as Doechii, every project has to have a lil bit of everything she has to offer. They were deep in their bag on that one.

Also, what Jayda said about people using different genres to be vulnerable but not rap was facts as well.

    I'm so glad Jada made that point at 11:30! I'm so tired of that narrative, especially on behalf of non-black rappers in the scene who utilize the genre of hip hop for a come-up while constantly othering themselves from being identified as "rappers" only to shed their personas when they want to make "real music." Rap music has always had depth, has always been real!

    • @sonyap8253
      @sonyap8253 20 днів тому

      I think any artist should be free to explore all sounds and genres they want and not be "labled" and boxed in...categorize the art not the creator. Did you consider it inauthentic when beyonce switched genres? What about pink? What about lil nas x? Was it a cash grab when Christina did back to basics? Or does your gatekeeping only apply to hip-hop, which at a certain age, has had a hand in raising and influencing all of us? The list goes on. Let folks create and choose to consume it or don't. Culture is a shared experience, not an ethnicity or race. It's that simple. I've never heard anyone say hip hop was not "real" music.

    • @KyongKreated
      @KyongKreated 19 днів тому

      @sonyap8253 culture is not shared if no one offers it up to share. Sharing requires asking anything else is taking. Do you remember anyone asking first? I'll wait. And you already revealed your confusion in your own statement, "I never heard...". Also calling it gatekeeping proves the point as well. If we're gatekeeping then no permission was given for "sharing". Your entire response shows lack of comprehension because you contradict yourself consistently and it's a response of someone taking without looking to give with entitlement laced in each word. You don't even know what we're talking about but jumped to respond because you felt offended? All up in the Kool aid and don't know the flavor. Also what you think doesn't supercede the thought of the people actually of the culture you're discussing. You can't make the rules cause it's convenient for you. The genres the artist you mentioned switched too were all still our culture ironically it wasn't shared but appropriated and so now you think the switch is to something not of us, but if you knew something before responding your answer would've been coherent. Your entire rant is a straw man argument of things we never said. The discussion we're having is about specific people you just bringing up random irrelevant examples of people exploring music that's already of them and appreciated by them. We're discussing the opposite. Did Beyonce mock country? Did any of the artist you named mock it or describe it as "not real music? No so what are you babbling about? And you brought up Christina why? Another thing "back" implies she'd been there before, your question about the cash grab should refer to the albums where she wasn't returning because that would be the genre switch. Again you do not know what you're even talking about, you're just talking.

As a fan since 2019 before what is came out ( wasn’t a fan of that song at the time cos it just didn’t feel like her.) lowkey have been waiting to hear her talk about her music, so thank you for this. I feel like now she really is getting back to the music that she really wants to make and this mixtape shows that.. Shes barely getting started yall I feel like rn she’s just doing shit that artists of our time should’ve been doing. On some “fine I’ll do it myself,” type sh*t. So yeah miss doechii is quite literally just barely scratching the surface of her potential and it’s exciting. An excitement everyone needs rn, sonically. I’m so glad she has a collaborative support system too cos there is an authentic aspect to her that matches the excitement and I think everyone agrees we haven’t felt that way collectively with rap or music in general in a very long time. Last time I felt or saw other feel this way about an artist was during lady Gaga’s rise to fame. They fr both have that idgaf mentality in a way that’s deconstructive and healing.

    I have just risined from what was supposed to be my dream job and this album have been giving me so much strenght. She's right: we need this narrative in music to. Seeing her talking about her jorney and creative proces, while getting sober and becoming her true self by shutting down the other voices, is like ... exactly what's going on in my life right now.

    she's as real as it gets, this rawness from an artist is something you don't see often and denial is river is my favourite song off the mixtape
