In a brand-new interview with Variety, Doja described that she wishes to check out punk as a category more in the hop to make a full-scale hardcore punk album one day.
“This is the manic part. I wasn’t gonna tell you. But I’ll just tell you now, because not talking about it is making me annoyed: I want to explore punk,” she informed the job interviewer. “But not pop-punk. I feel like we have enough pop-punk artists right now. And if there needs to be more, then let there be more, but I don’t think I’m the one to do it.”
“I want to explore more of a raw, unfiltered, hardcore punk sort of thing. It’s just something that I’m doing for my own personal fun — getting some drummers and guitarists together. And I don’t even know if that’s gonna make it out there.”
The vocalist and rap artist, who is chosen for 5 Grammys at this year’s awards on Sunday (February 5), likewise exposed to the job interviewer that IDLES were her preferred band of in 2015.
The job interviewer kept in mind how throughout the image shoot, she changed the music “on the sound system with the British post-punk group Idles, [who] she plays on a loop for hours. They’re her favourite band of last year,” the job interviewer described.
Somewhere else in the interview, Doja went on to state she believes she is challenged as a rap artist in the music market.
Reviewing her love of ‘Vegas‘, the Grammy-nominated song (Best Rap Performance) from the Elvis biopic and how it allowed her to return more to rapping, Doja told Variety: “That was one of the greatest experiences because everyone knows ‘Hound Dog’ [the Elvis Presley song from which it interpolates].
“But I was able to give it my own spin. I went in and I was like, ‘Finally, I get to rap again.’ A lot of people discredit me, so it’s nice to just put another one in the fucking bucket for a great rap song.”
She included that she can’t blame casual hip-hop fans for concerning her as a trifler. “I just got an award [from iHeartRadio] for a billion spins on the radio,” she informed Range, which is credited to the appeal of her pop hits ‘Say So’, ‘Woman‘ and last year’ s Grammy-winning ‘Kiss Me More’.
“So with that alone, I’m constantly being shoved down people’s throats. I would be upset if I saw somebody who has kind of been fed to me as this pop-star girl with a fat ass making it to this level of rap icon, after I’ve only been watching them do disco shit and pop shit all the time,” she included.
