Doja Cat's not one to play with, and that's exactly what she proved to many fans on her remix of "Kill Bill" by SZA. Moreover, the recently released reimagining caught a lot of people's ears on social media, and it was all for the Los Angeles native's impressive bars. Not only did she fit the track's lyrical and thematic focus, but she came through with the speed and internal rhymes of a classic boom-bap MC. Of course, it should come as no surprise that Doja stunned, whether because of her catalog or her eclectic set of influences. Regardless, people ate it up.
"Doja told a story!" an impassioned fan wrote on Twitter shortly after the song's release. "Her verse gave mentally unstable ex out for revenge and the calm delivery of her rapping adds to that effect. Her storytelling was outstanding and really painted a picture to the listeners while staying on topic. She’s really got IT." Along with this tweet came many others that praised Doja Cat's performance alongside SZA's beautiful melodies. For both artists, who brought us the massive hit "Kiss Me More," it shows the boundless extent of their chemistry.
Doja Cat Wows Fans With "Kill Bill" Remix
As far as Doja Cat's next moves, she gave a range of more sincere and cheeky updates on her upcoming album, presumably titled Hellmouth. "If you wanted a teaser into what I’ve been thinking about, that’s what I’ve been on a lot," she revealed. "And just to make it clear, Beastie Boys is a huge inspiration to me. Beastie Boys will hit you with hard, loud and crazy rap, but they’ll also hit you with real raw 90s punk, which I love, or smooth techno that feels sexy and sleek. And you’ll be like, ‘Where the f**k did this come from?" She also spoke on pulling from more genre-bending influences like Death Grips and German rave music.
However, those hints also come with admissions of her artistic reservations and some funny digs at fans over-speculating. "I also agree with everyone who said the majority of my rap verses are mid and corny,” she noted on social media. “I know they are, I wasn’t trying to prove anything I just enjoy making music but I’m getting tired of hearing y’all say that I can’t, so I will." In another message, she tried to play with fans a bit more. "The whole album is no longer rap y’all,” the 27-year-old expressed. “It’s rock/spoken work and the album title is not ‘Hellmouth’ anymore... a French conceptual experimental country/bohemian fusion with the essence of blue-grass." Well, fans will see what happens. Stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat. Also, check out more reactions to her "Kill Bill" remix down below.
