Joe Budden GOES OFF on Doja Cat's "Demons'' | I Hope She FAILS" 

Its hilarious how like 95 percent of people live in sin constantly but want to cosplay as a holy Cristian when anything dark pops up

All of these people that are dissing Doja Cat for what she is doing, they need to have the same energy for your favorite artists. Like XXXTentacion, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti and whoever else that they like that has done the same thing as Doja Cat has done. Because she’s not the first person to do this. And she wouldn’t be the last

To sit here and lie Talkin bout her music doesn’t “slap” is absurd 😂😂😂

6 people in that room talking about a song/video for 12 minutes and only 1 person even heard the song? How can we take this seriously?

You hope she fails. ..but yet she succeeding 😂😂😂 how my demons look? 😈😈😈

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL TO EVEN BE MAD ABOUT WHAT DOJA DOING…

She has people talking about her project, she accomplished her objective.

Hearing someone say “she’s a Gemini” to defend dressing up as a demon is crazy 😂

He slid in her DMs and got rejected 😂 She’s definitely talking about him in that Demons song.

Melyssa was on point, I grew up in a Christian family. Spiritually you can pick up things, but this shit looks like textbook shock value. She's basically going through her "initiation" so to speak. The subliminal shit is alot more dangerous

I'M A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST AND I LOVE DOJA CAT. IF YOU KNOW HER, SHE DOES THIS. SHE'S VERY ARTISTIC AND VISUALS ARE PART OF THE PACKAGE. SHE MAY ALSO MAKE A SONG WITH VISUALS IN MIND. I'M JUST CURIOUS TO SEE HOW MANY OFFENDED PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY CHRISTIANS, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AMONGST US.

What’s funny about Joe & Ice’s take is that they are using the same language when people talked about Gangsta rap back in the day? When Young Thug is on trial for the things he puts in his music “it’s just entertainment” but when someone uses imagery (movie references btw), now all of a sudden the music can influence the kids????

Doja Cat just put out an amazing album. So many people missed the point and they are looking stupid.

I’m with Mel and Ice for once.. People are so sensitive about anything they don’t believe in. Don’t listen, don’t watch, problem solved… side note though, I think “Demons” is trash but “Attention” and “Paint The Town Red” are fire.

A movie is attached to a cast, but a song is attached to one person. When you perform a song you own everything that comes with that energy.

It's so crazy how they say no one's talking about the song, yet they all are. Anyone who pursues a career or pursuit in anything will be criticized because that's just how the human race functions. As a former heavily indoctrinated Christian, I'll say this, your beliefs shape your reality. So what you believe in IS real and what you don't believe in ISN'T. On a side note, it takes courage to put yourself out there. It takes even more courage to be your authentic self because: look, everybody has something to say. Doja Cat's transformation and the way she portrays herself has helped me realize that you're never safe from criticism, fuck what other people think (it's a projection anyway), and you should do what you want because you only have one life. Plus, she's such a troll on purpose and I think it is to show all our hypocrisy and how we take (some) things too seriously.

The notion that “music can’t influence people” is so stupid.

Black people will never be free till they break off the shackles of silly religion.

Life is more spiritual than we realise. You are ultimately influenced by anything you give your attention to. What is strange about art is that it serves as a sort of a portal between the spiritual realm and the physical realm. Anyone who has ever created will tell you that the best ideas come when you stop trying to create with intent. In fact, most of an artist's "intentional" work never sees the light of day because of how mediocre it turns out. Most great and humble artists always say that their greatest ideas come from God, and He just used them as vessels to deliver these ideas. Truth is that all great ideas are not from the artist, only the extremely vain/ignorant take full credit. Yet still, what the humble artists don't understand is that just because an idea comes from the spiritual realm - it doesn't mean that it comes from God. The Bible in 1 John 4: 1-6 says to test every spirit to see if it is from God. That every spirit that does not confess Jesus, is not from God. Which means if the ideas do not glorify God in the name of His son Jesus Christ, it is not from God. Every idea has a spiritual agenda. Let's think of it this way, if prayer and worship music edifies the world and summons the goodness of the kingdom of God - music and videos by artists like Doja summons things from the dark side of the spiritual realm. Soon we start noticing our world becoming more like the art these artists create. Kids wanting to be d*mons for halloween just like Doja, p*p p*lls and drinking le*n like Future, or even have a WAP like Megan and Cardi. This explains the famous saying that: "life imitates art more than art imitates life". These artists are ignorantly allowing ev*l spirits to use them to model our society and world after their own realm, just because the artists find it "artistic" or to have a "shock value". Most times it's less about selling your s*ul, and more about unwittingly allowing these d*mons express themselves through you. Not realising that you are being instrumental in literally "raising h*ll".

Plot twist: Doja don’t give a fuck !

People overestimate how much influence music actually plays on people's day to day life choices. And considering these guys are hip hop heads, it should be more than clear that young people are very much able to differentiate music, music's meaning, and intentions. Probably more so than the adults who think they need to be sheltered. All of these guys were listening to hip hop growing up, none of them have been locked up for murder(As far as I know.) And billions of other hip hop listeners haven't either. So why would this song suddenly cause an influx of devil worship, If the criminal content that we all enjoy hearing in rap music didn't? Isn't that exactly what people used to, and probably still say about rap? It's devil music? EVEN WITHOUT THE IMAGERY? Let's hold ourselves to higher standards than this please. We're better than the double standards. It's just music.

People don't party to movies. They party to music and I can gaurantee that more murders and drug overdoses were done by kids who listen to it. They literally have music to drive by as an album.

My interpretation of the song is saying that all the people that doubted her, hated on her, misjudged her, counted her out, etc. are her demons and she is asking in the chorus, “how my demons look” now that she has money now and she’s on top. You have to read and listen to the lyrics…

Mel’s the only one with common sense on this subject

I think she's trying to move into the market that she always wanted to be in. And I think after having success, the way she figured doing that is to first purge her audience and then make a drastic change. Especially since we are very hip hop focused, we forget that this imagery that she's using isn't new. This has been in the rock scene punk scene for a very long time. First people came in. My mind is Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne. That hasn't been a lot of big people like them for a while. But that is delay genre music that has been out for a very long time and I might be where she's trying to take a step. But you can't do that if she's tied to hip hop. Which is why I think she's been doing a purge to see if she has enough clouts left to make this turn

The album is 🔥 y’all are tripping agora hills is a timeless hit…watch!

“She’s a doof…” nah Joe Poddin’ 😂😂😂

Sorry but I’m not cancelling her until y’all cancel Lady Gaga🤷🏽‍♀️ and that ain’t gonna happen so…

That chick is sick and y'all know it. I don't relate to y'all cats defending this. Even if you don't believe in God or the Devil you understand the principle behind good & bad. It's not something to glorify/promote

If you haven't listened to a piece of music, you have no business critiquing it. It's ridiculous. So much time wasted in chatter, when they should have just watched the video and/or listened to the audio track FIRST, and THEN spent the next 8 minutes dissecting it. And I say this as a musician with a WIDE variety in taste of music and artists.

I agree with Mel 100%, Doja Cat is literally trolling yall and yall fell for it. Some of yall take things way too seriously. Some of yall arent hearing what shes actually saying in her new music but your so focused on what shes wearing or what shes projecting. And Joe talking bout "I hope she fails" yet shes already winning!!!

Doja Cat has ALWAYS been about shock value so why is anyone surprised? If Kanye did the same thing we’d call it “genius” or “artistry” and claim that people just don’t “get it”. Far from a Doja fan but she ATE that VMAs performance!

Mel is on point. The reaction y’all having is exactly what Doja is hoping for. Don’t talk about music leading younger people when Joe was just talking about how he didn’t want to hear all that “positive shit” in music just the other week 😂😂 Kanye wasn’t fucking frowned upon for putting out a gospel album, he was criticized because he poses as this heavy follower of Jesus and then does un-Christian things in the media the very next day. And also the album was ass.

Anybody pushing Satanism....to hell with them.

Joe Budden calling Doja Cat a "Doof" is WILD.

Doja was always taken as a joke. Started "playin" demon now they treat her like the next big star. And Mel's explanations was so dumb.

Doja is brilliant. Leave her alone. These green flip flops ain’t slapping 😂

If you had someone from the 1930s here today they would think the world ended and this must be hell.

I've always liked Doja Cat look and voice. The more outrageous she gets the more I seem to admire her. Let that young woman be herself.

So promoting the devil is not a problem to what the hell is happening

Everyone's entitled to her own opinion. So here's mine everyone is looking at the image she is putting out. Not at the lyrics. Rap is about lyrics And she got a lot to say in my opinion

Her whole album slaps no way is she gonna fail 😂

You can’t argue logic with religious people fam.

No matter what ppl may feel the album is super incredible. Album of the year!!!!!!!!

If that was the response ya “Christian sister” gave you then ya sister ain’t no Christian

People mad she praising the devil but bump song about cheating, killing people and extorting men. Makes no sense mane😏😏🤦‍♂

Doja Cat will not fail. She won’t be cancelled either.

What i find to be so funny is how theyll sit around & have a whole discussion about how disgusted they are about Doja's imagery/art but will say nothing when it comes to these male rappers rapping & depicting drugs, violence & disrespect to women? So thats ok? And keep in mind the amount of young kids that listen to that as well Smh see and thats why their opinions holds no weight on this topic.

Here we go with know-it-all Melissa. Doja cat is not a Gemini she is a Libra

DOJA CAT MUSIC IS FIRE.

Doja Cat new album is fire and she made hip hop history not too long ago so maybe them spirts are helping her lol

I USED TO LIKE DOJA...SHE LOST HERSLEF

The sexual tension between Ish and Mel is so funny!!!

So no one thinks it’s weird the “powers that be” go to marketing idea is always dress up like the devil 😈

Then Amala drops the album and the mic 🎤 on Joe 😅😂❤

People Idolizing Doja Cat saying “Let her be herself are the same ones idolizing Her and will follow her into hell the Bible says idolize no one but God

This is the exact same way Joe and others use to talk about Tyler the creator and look at him now

the irony of them playing devils advocate in this topic

I’ve been told y’all Mel is a witch ima always stand on that

It’s funny that ppl defend it by saying imagery is nothing. They clearly don’t study symbology and the vibrations of the symbols. She was also humming the word devil, has demonic tattoos, and I saw her crying going crazy before. She’s the epitome of the industry. And yes she is one of the best female artists that’s undeniable.

Melissa Ford = Shock Value

I think Doja is just taking jabs at the industry and the market. Also depicting herself as a demon maybe to claim that she is fully aware of what power music holds even on her. She may very well be playing at the whole "Satan was the main music guy in heaven" angle. Maybe suggesting we will never not see the influence of "him" in the music space. Or she could just be getting us talking - in which case she did y'all! And the "Attention" joint is hard and slaps.

Mel is the only sensible one in the room. It’s not Doja’s job to raise your kids. Not everyone is a devout christian. If seeing demons and devils spooks your soul, that’s okay. She’s an artist, and this project is her art. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. Paint the town red was #1 on Billboard so idk what Joe is referring to when he says she has no “slaps.”

Y'all tripping. All the demonic music and artist you support, Doja's song shouldn't be a problem.

I think she has always been finding herself. She has never been consistent as far as the sound of her music. She’s just evolving. I also think her being famous makes her want to troll and dig deeper. Like her or not but female or male artists aren’t as daring as her.

Didn’t we go through this in the 80’s with heavy metal music?

Aye shawty got this all backwards. As a Christian we don’t mess with any of it. Not the movies, not the secular music, none of it. You’re literally capping for the whole satanic industry talking about “it’s art, doja is an artist” the devil is a deception artist and the world is his playground. This lady needs to stop

She cant fail if all this "devil worshipping" is giving her so much publicity

If u just heard the music it’s dope. Its when them visuals come into play u be side eyeing some shyt like girl are u ok 🥴🥴🥴🥴🤦🏿‍♀️

Aye Doja got some of the best bars male or fenale. She creative af..

Mel is either spiritually blind or capping

Stop it, Joe. The track slaps and the beat is worth a whole Cipher. Swear. Doja just gonna do Doja and be extra all the damn time is all.

Joe is always talking about somebody's music, not slapping. Sir, you have 1 gold single😂😂😂

Demon slaps hard as fuck the beat in the club is sick

Some folk just don’t like to play with certain things and have lines they don’t cross.

These mfers built a career off the culture of making music about drugs, murder and gang shit but a "devil worshiper" pops up and its "think of the kidsssss"

Its no difference what Beyonce does in her music video

I felt the performance 🎭

The Demonic shit is where we finally find our moral compass but we are ok with the ratchet twerk rap these artist do like our kids wont pick up on that bs?

It's not a right to be a devil worshiper,it's evil, they believe in murder and sacrifice and hatred that's not a right

JOE BUDDEN IS A POWER BOTTOM! 👊🏿🏳️‍🌈

"Great power comes with great responsibility" 😂😂😂

At 2:31 "I called up my sister... my sister is extremely Christian!" Her sister obviously isn't a real Christian. I'm really starting to understand that not everyone will be saved and that most people are blinded from the truth. Revelation 17: 13-14 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.

Demon shook. Doja already succeeded despite your hopes of failure. Who's talking about who? She's definitely not talking about this podcast.

I’m with Joe Lmao

To me what she is doing is no different than the weekend and all that crap with his last album. She’s attached a theme to the work. Doesn’t mean she’s out here conjuring spirits and crap. Nobody had an issue when he was walking around in character and making weird videos

Saying you hope she fails is a bit excessive. Y’all want every female artist to look like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj and make music about the same shit and have the same look and that’s not who she is. Anyone who chooses to listen to her music can understand what she is trying to say. If you don’t like her look or how she chooses to express herself through her art, it’s not for you. If Mr. Pump It Up is not a fan of her music, she’s doing something right.

Other rappers raping about killing and fcking constantly and thats fine, but raping using metaphors and horror movie elements is going "too far"

Mel sis is cap

Too bad she not gone fail and she got a no.1 billboard hit again

Agreed! Like ppl popping off for no reason 😒. She right, it's the attachment to Abrahamic religions that ppl (especially) black ppl have towards religion. I mean how can you justify pushing or being ok with your child following Christianity but not watching a Music Video on demons?? Come on ppl

She’s trolling because of all of the shit people kept saying about her. She turned it on its head and made it her marketing tactic. Y’all have to really be brainless not to see that SMH 😂

I do agree with music being influential to young people. However people pick and choose what they wanna judge and not judge. It’s all entertainment at the end of the day let’s keep it real! Also good and bad exist in the world that’s facts.

What we’re not gonna do is say Doja Cat doesn’t have tons of hot shit lmao stop the cap

Art is to be imitated, and imitation is also art. An ongoing cycle that can either be for better or for worse

Melyssa defends any woman right or wrong. I like Doja but I’m making a point.

I honestly think this started off as a joke and a way to troll the people that called her a devil worshiper. But... she’s been going above and beyond. And whether that’s true or not, I’m not rocking with it. Won’t catch me listening to a song talking about “she the devil” lol. And side note, y’all are bugging if you think music doesn’t influence people.

Doja is lyrically a beast fasho. I honestly think shawty is tryin to appeal to more of her ⚪audience because the things she's doing isnt conventionally associated with hip hop. The dark imagery, the weirdness and quirkiness often times is seen with rock bands and alternative music genres. She's in her bag but I took her " demons" as her haters but maybe I'm misinterpreting it sht....just speaking my opinion forreal lol 🤷🏽‍♂️

Joe is wrong for that hoping she fails. Why not hope she changes? Why not look at how the videos tell a story? She lost 500,000 but gained more. She's influencing people, movies are too. Devil worship is EVERYWHERE! Music, movies, it's COMPLETELY IN OUR FACES. You can't blame her AT TF ALL. for how the industry manipulation is taking over more and more. I haven't seen Demons I've seen clips and I'm not a horror fan when it comes to demonic possessions what not. She's absolutely a creative genius and it makes people uncomfortable. Melissa is on point with the explanation. Thanks Melissa! Read the lyrics and Attention and Paint The Town Red and Angora Hills slaps. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Women will never see Satanism for what it is
