Alex Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 With "Attention" ushering in a return to earlier works with the more bedroom-esque vibe of the track and Doja clearly over pandering to the mainstream for her music, is it time to admit Doja is no longer an MPG? I smell a shift to alternative rapper instead of pop singer, which is perhaps what she feels more comfortable with. What are your thoughts? Do you think Doja will return to pop music or stay in this rap-orientated lane?
Navyofbadgals Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Because of one song? That’s not even that alternative? Damn you’re taking it flopping hard I see 1
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) If shes SMART shes scrapping this entire era and starts over again. Release all the planet her scraps and do your little dark aesthetic with the wig on ma'am. Edited July 5, 2023 by KatyPrismSpirit
smartalek22 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I think she's definitely prioritising her artistry this era over quick pop hits (like Say So & KMM) with a lot of songwriters and less artist input, and that whilst it won't bring in the same numbers as a 'big' sounding song, will be acclaimed and loved by fans and critics. Some current pop music, though well written and enjoyable can have a tendency to feel void of personality because of this. 3 1
HEAVYONIT Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 God, you guys are SO annoying. She released ONE BUZZ SINGLE that didn't smash and you're already making threads like this. You need to find more interesting and productive things to do with your free time. 8

Damn you’re taking it flopping hard I see There's been an entire image and marketing switch ever since this era started, with the new album being "anti-pop" and more or less rap focused rather than pop. Of course there's no doubting Doja could return to it next era but she seems adamant on distancing herself from the pop girl persona. What are your thoughts or contributions to the topic, if you have any instead of being a troll of course.
Johnny Jacobs Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 cause of one song? yall are really something else. this discussion needs to happen at least 2 weeks after the album drops 6

Honey what "buzz single" has radio, playlisting on TTH and a whole high budget music video... stop living in denial. The lead tanked

The lead tanked I agree. Her label went hard for this single but it didn’t stick to the GP. She still has time to release a pop dark record because I’m not really sure if she’s meant to rap. 1

Some current pop music, though well written and enjoyable can have a tendency to feel void of personality because of this. Yeah I think pulling a sonic 180 like this after her most successful era is definitely risky but it will probably pay off in the end because it seems like the music she wants to be making and Attention has been her most acclaimed song in years so it seems to be working out for her regardless of its commercial performance 1
krustysalt Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 You can be a respected rapper and still be an MPG. Example: the 2010 Nicki Doja is trying too hard to gain respect in hip hop community in which she always failed to achieve because her attempts do not feel genuine

And yes that video definitely had a high budget. It's so apparent.
burninredhot Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Very delusional to think one song can change her career trajectory 2

#Beautiful Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 not even her biggest fan but chill, its too early to speak on it. let the album come 1
Aurora Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 She never was a main pop girl imo, she always was and is still a main rap girl. She's part of the Nicki/Cardi/Megan conversation, not the Ari/Dua/Olivia one. Yes, she has made pop songs, but being a pop singer isn't her primary focus. I'm saying all of this as a fan. 1

She said this teasing the era but then when she saw attention performance she said there will still be some catchy pop hooks on the album I just think that there's a reason she's so silent rn they're probably back to re planning the era and re purposing

You need to find more interesting and productive things to do with your free time. ok but the point i was trying to make was not about calling doja a flop but instead her transition of going from pop to alternative, and thus abandoning the "Main Pop Girl" image and sound she built up with the last 2 albums. This isn't a drag thread (i'm a stan) but more of a clickbaity thread title to get the conversation going 1
Riverbank Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 The dramatics Isn't it just a "buzz" single anyway? Let's wait for the album + tour before making such statements

bearman Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 We love a non-main pop girl that can sell out an arena tour before her album even drops. Not everyone has that, I guess. 2

She just announced it was being released...and EVEN IF it was her lead single, how are you honestly going to judge an entire era off of 1 song without hearing the album first? It's just dumb. 1
