Doja Cat credits Jay-Z for teaching her the importance of irony in hip-hop. (via ELLE UK)
"When you're a lyricist, you have to have a sense of humor that goes beyond, in some form. Nicki Minaj, Drake, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, these people are not comedians, but they are. They could write a stand-up set if they wanted to, but music is much more fun. What is a rapper without a punchline? It's all about irony. I learnt that from Jay-Z. I watched an interview where he said irony is incredibly important when it comes to hip-hop and rap."
