Bodak Yellow is:

Jesus you don't argue with The Barbz or the Cardi hardcore.

I mean, pitting the only two current black female rap superstars against each other and defending it by saying "this is freedom of speech as its most fundamental level" is hugely NAGL, but this does not deserve death threats.

album is really good. that it appeals even to Joan Crawford herself, an aging shut-in, means it will probably irritate a lot of people who spend/have the time to be up on all the hot new stuff that hasn't bubbled up yet but as so much music listening is pretty much pure hedonism/healing for me right now...these beats are fucking righteous, the "all right all right" loop in "Bickenhead" is great, this is like a perfect spring record imo

the "all right all right" loop in "Bickenhead" is great,

surprise i looooooove the kehlani track

Half of this is a terrific album.

the kehlani collab is definitely among the highlights for me

it's a solid collection! def wanna spend more time w/ it

Whenever Bartier Cardi comes on I get so blown away at first and I think "wow why didn't I love this when it first came out?" and then 21 Savage comes on and I realize "oh wait that's why"

Great album tho

cardi's so cool

Damn her records good. Thru your phone is dope. She deserves a new thread tbf

probably still my AOTY right now, though Tracey Thorn and US Girls aren't far behind.

ppl still intimidated by azealia banks in 2018

Why would she even respond? Let alone delete her IG acct. afterward? So weird

Huge amount of pressure for someone pregnant to be under. Probably good she is stepping away.

"Hey Cardi, do you sign?"

It's May 2018. I've never heard this song, and at this point prob won't. Seeya

Records perfect other than the chance collab - it sucks

still fairly stunned at how *solid* this whole album is

i'm living inside Money Bag rn

Awesome record

Cardi has infinite amounts of personality

Bump. Somehow I missed most of the initial promo cycle, but the album is terrific.

Still think cardi needs her own thread

Yeah, I didn't particularly like "Bodak Yellow" but the album is good, especially the slow jams "Ring" and "Thru Your Phone".

yeah i was really surprised by how much i liked the album after not really caring about bodak yellow

i haven't listened to the album front-to-back in quite some time but it's been fun to realize over the course of the year just how many really strong, memorable tracks there are as i hear them out-and-about, on radio mixshows and the like

Otm

I like it sounds great blasting from cars

we should really have a cardi thread

until then, interesting quote from GQ profile:

For listeners, Cardi's distinct vocal patterns are part of the appeal of her rap style. She makes English sound way more fun than it is. "Do you want to know something?" Cardi asks. "That's my biggest problem, that takes me a long time in the booth. I be trying to pronounce words properly and without an accent. Each and every song from my album, I most likely did it over five times, because I'm really insecure about my accent when it comes to music. In person, I don't care."

Dearie me:

it's kinda...insane to me that this doesn't seem to really be hurting her in any way

it's super fucked up

ten "Selectivity of Cancel Culture" dissertations by the end of the year imo

it's insane to me that people are comparing this to rape

yeah, she drugged johns and stole their money. shady behaviour, of course, but comparisons to cosby are o_0

nobody cares about johns basically (i know i don't)

It's not going to affect her because the only people equating the two either still idolize famous men who are sexual predators or because they need to believe that women are generally as trash as men. And she owned up to it; I am still waiting for multitudes of famous trash men to own up to any degree of fucked up behaviour.

will read, share

you can't be pro sex work and excuse this behavior imo

i don't seen anyone excusing it

people not being particularly exercised by it is a different thing

jim and yerac thoroughly otm.

i was not equating the two
things can be fucked up and be way less fucked up than say bill cosby

going to be trenchant here but would be weird to cancel cardi b over this when there are male rappers we lionize who probably have killed people

we're through the looking glass here people

nice engagement, paul. thanks for playing

clarification, my post wasn't addressing anyone specifically here, but rather the general push and push and push that this should even be a thing besides her narrative of what she had to do to survive. Feel free to have complicated feelings about any men vlogging about needing to rape to survive.
