Really nice write up. I remember seeing video's and gifs of her stuff on tumblr and finding her to be super endearing. I am glad she is getting her time to shine. Album bumps.
Cardi B GQ Profile
- Thread starter LionPride
- Start date
How did Rap get so popular is my question
It like, just happened one day and I don't know why, and I'm okay with it
But it's weird considering the origins of the genre

Except white rappers. I still am iffy on all of them
Rap's always been popular.
I feel like Drake had a big part in its crossover with pop though.
If you're talking about Cardi B and not the writer then it's more than that.
Not everybody can recite all 45 presidents in chronological order and knows a ton of details (including the birthdays of their spouses) for each.
Hmmm...maybe. I mean Kanye and Jay Z always been the big 2 when I was a kid I guess.
I dunno, just seems odd to me it's as big as it is in it's current form.
Other than her dumbass defense of Offset being a homophobe, I kinda have a crush on her.
Helps her music isn’t complete garbage.

most people barely remember their friends from high school let alone what they learned in history class.
That "Cardi B Goes Goes Undercover on Reddit, Twitter, and YouTube" video is pretty fun and interesting.
yeah the writer seems easily if that excerpt is anything to go by.
if she can do that though, then that is damn impressive.
says in the profile that she could name all of them. That is impressive.
you know what I'm just gonna put her album on repeat after reading that. Well played Cardi playing at my love for FDR
We remember. It's just in context, she was just saying whatever to defend her fiancé homophobia, and in the other instance making tongue in cheek (but still problematic) comments about bullying. Nobody canceled her over that.
It's honestly kind of frustrating how her defense of Offset became a bigger story than Offset's own comments in certain circles.
She also said if she was cheated on she would trick him into sleeping with a tranny when he's drunk. And then she blamed the LGBT community for not telling her that queer and tranny are words she can't say.
Didn't she say some shit about punishing a cheating boyfriend by having a threesome with a transwoman?
Beaten
There's a couple areas of presidents that I'm fuzzy on. Like the ones after Jackson but before James Buchanan. Then there's a couple before McKinley I forget. Basically the 19th century is a struggle.
She’s said a lot of problematic things and was unapologetic when criticized for them. There’s a line on the new album where she summarizes these critiques as backlash from haters who want her to fail.
But I think it’s possible to enjoy her personality and what she represents in pop culture while also holding her accountable for these things.
Oh, definitely. It was just odd to see so much positivity towards her in here when that only happened a little over 2 months ago, especially when she never apologizes.

1. No, because that's not how that phrase is used
2. Yeah she's fucked up at some points
It helps that the music is constantly evolving. More younger people are able to lead the way in what Hip Hop will be for the next couple of years.
could be that some people may not even know about whatever happened in January. I didn't know.
also funny seeing people trash her interests. it's like people expected her to be dumb as shit, and then when she has an actual interest in history and politics it's like "*scoff* any 3 year old knows about that stuff who cares"
...I dunno if I like that. I mean it's great for music and constantly has been, but I dunno, new music is almost shoegazing for rap?
I dunno, I sound like an old man now. It's an interesting rapid fire changing genre though
It's better this way. Keeps it fresh compared to Rock which often feels stagnant.
Rock really let me down in recent years.
The "young talent" that comes in doesnt work for me at all and just make fall out boy reject songs
Kicking a person around for extending themselves in any way is pretty shitty. Even if its low level from your context. We could have a Cardi B that says fuck knowledge and you'd have people shitting on her. Can't win.
This interview makes it sound like Cardi B is more qualified to be president than the person that was actually elected. What a world...
Pretty much, and then talks about educating her about the proper use of the word, cmon girl, get real.
OP
OP
People definitely expected her to be stupid which is...a whole other issue
Damn I legit did not know this. That's fucked up. Hmm.
But yeah, I do have to admit that it's weird. It's weird how some stuff can be overlooked by people if they really fuck with them hard enough. Do some people get blasted for fucked up shit they say based on how much their fan base cares? This is most likely true. I think that if people keep ignoring what she said, it makes it easier to keep liking her. I do enjoy her music and persona tho. I'm torn.
Pretty much. I didn't know it because frankly--I don't give a damn about little facts like that lol. Which is probably true for most people and why the writer didn't even know.
Lmao, writing about it came off as some wack attempt at trying to impress the readers with cardi b's knowledge of some presidential facts
Anyways I'm happy for her success tho. There were a few good tracks on her album, and I think she's a much better artist than nicki minaj so to see her usurp her throne in hip hop is dope
Okay I know Ye is in the sunken place but he is your OG and will be respected as such
I was thinking Kanye was OG too, especially Drake was following a sound Ye created
Idk if white people were really fuckin' with Ye like they were/are Drizzy tho
Don't get me wrong, I know how influential 808s was in birthing modern Hip-hop as we know it, but I feel Like Drake is what really gave it that ultimate mainstream "push."
You're joking right. Besides maybe the super early days it's always been big and white people have largely been the buyers of the biggest names.
