Nicki and Cardi are not true peers. Their come ups and generational classes don’t overlap. Nicki broke through a decade before Cardi even had her shot.
But they are competitors, because both represent the top of female rap in their respective moments, and the industry has framed them as rivals for the same “Queen of Rap” title.
And despite Nicki’s decade long head start, Cardi is the one with the Grammy, the first female rapper with multiple diamond records, and holds the crown for the longest-charting rap album in history by a female rapper.
This is Nicki’s trigger. Someone she deems lesser than her is putting up stats she couldn’t accomplish when it was just her outside.
I’m really not trying to be a conspiracist but I’m starting to think these phones are not just listening to us.. they also reading our minds… government don’t come get me 😩
So Imaginary Players is out.
I’ve listened. I’ve watched. And did it again. 😂
One thing I will admit about that Cardi B. She always understands the assignment and then goes and does extra credit.
No tea, no shade. She ate. As I knew she would honestly. Mama finna clock in heavy.
Hip-hop, for me, is exciting again.
