Cardi B GQ Profile
- Thread starter LionPride
- Start date
I like Bodak Yellow. It's a fun song, and ain't afraid to admit that.
I loved Kodak Blacks response to how he felt about Cardi using one of his phrases for her song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0ITGv_gMH8
Most people discard information they consider useless to their daily lives, especially if they learned it offhand in grade school.
That’s ordinary as hell.
Cardi B. The woman that has like 10 songs playing back to back repeatedly on the top rap stations and has been since 2017. Come on man
Because when you write about fashion and entertainment for a living, the history of social security in America naturally comes up every other day.
Thats sad. I learned that back in 6th grade and it never left my mind since
It's information that 99% of people have no need to give a shit about after middle school unless you're trying to flex on random Internet forums. Why would you need to retain such a thing?
Ordinary isn't really an excuse, it's basic U.S. history, like George Washington being the first President. There are tons of shit I learned in school that I hardly, if ever, use. Yet, I remember them.
I hate B.Yellow, but after that had to watch her on Love and Hip Hop.
Shit, she was greatest part of her season.
EDIT:
Also, is there a POP OT? Or RnB/Rap/Rock and Roll OTs, I guess?
I have a lot of questions and general want for discussion since I been catching up on 2010s music.

I mean, yeah, but you guys are underestimating the intelligence level (and the knowledge retention level) of the average American. Think about it, the only reason why the talking heads have to keep on explaining how the electoral college works every four years is because dumbasses don't know.
Which is why I'm expressing ire that a professional journalist (I don't care if they are a fashion journalist) doesn't know this. Ignorance is just a personal pet peeve of mine. Cardi B being a history/politcal science wonk just makes me like her more.
She says she is only insecure with regard to it showing up in her music, but I don't really think that's true. Whenever she does interviews (at least the few I've seen) she goes in and out of terrible fake accents. I've wondered why, but now that she brought up this insecurity I think it makes sense.
Buts that the thing, she has far few haters then I would have thought. The mainstream love her. Which I happy for her.
I need for her and Tiffany Haddish to do a podcast together
Good question, maybe because it would be nice to think that college graduates have a basic understanding of US history and civics. Last I checked GQ covers all sorts of topics including politics and science.

Because the public still thinks strippers are uneducated people. So many people assumed she was a dirty hood rat with no redeeming qualities.
shouldn't be a matter of awe or pride that someone knows about the new deal
Some people find the past important for various reasons outside immediate applicability to their profession. For instance, the woman in the piece....
Very interesting article, didn't know much about her but I came away from it with more appreciation for her as a person.
I really like Cardi B but im confused on what it was that made her break through to white america. Not normal white america, i mean like white white. The most suburban country girls I know are obsessed with her. Was there a meme or some shit around the time bodak yellow dropped
On the flip side it shouldn't be a matter of pettiness for someone expressing they know about it.
LOL
The author specifically stressing that Cardi B knows which presidents succeeded and preceded FDR was the funniest part (aside from the cringy second paragraph).
It grinds my gears a little bit when people claim superiority by being ignorant of current pop culture.
i'm from a red state and we never really even talked about the new deal/depression until we got into high school and in relation to america's economy during WW2. lots of public schools like to gloss over the achievements of liberal presidents.
*enters thread about current pop-star's song/political opinion, posts "gotg_who.gif"*

OP
Her being genuine has a lot to do with why people fuck with her I think
She's just a Dominican-Trini woman from BX who got famous and is livin her best life
Returning to the point, I‘m from Germany and the New Deal was part of my Gymnasium (High School age) history lessons.
Why am I not surprised that a thread that should have been about celebrating the success of a very popular woman of color has derailed into debating her knowledge of social programs from over fifty years ago...

OP
Rap is the most popular genre in America rn
That's among everyone
Then Bodak was a song saying Niggas Ain't Shit? I know you've seen the videos of women in clubs yellin the lyrics to they men
The first thing I ever saw of Cardi B was the Alexa commercial where she blasted some kid for wanting to how far away Mars was and kept playing her song when country music was requested
