Cardi B Break Social Media Silence To Send Strong Message To Fans Over Drake And Jay-Z Ahead Of New Album
Cardi B has been compared to JAY-Z and Drake by Charlamagne Tha God when it comes to her impact on female Hip Hop.
“Cardi shifted that in the culture,” Charlamagne said. “Cardi made it to where you the O.G., you the person who made all the money, sold all the records, but you have no problem putting your arm around that next person.
“Cardi did for female rap what JAY-Z and Drake did. Whatever that next thing was out, JAY-Z was jumping on it. Whether it was Juvenile’s ‘Ha,’ whether it was Houston, whether it was Rick Ross… DMX, JAY was jumping on it — 50 Cent.”
Charlamagne Tha God gave props to Drake for giving a similar boosts to the careers of up-and-coming artists. In the past, Drizzy has blessed Migos’ “Versace (Remix),” Fetty Wap’s “My Way” and BlocBoyJB’s “Look Alive,” to name just a few.
“Drake did the same thing,” the radio host continued. “Drake did it with lesser-known artists. What Drake did was make the record big. What Jay did with those co-signs was make the artist big.
“When Jay jumped on ‘Dope Boys Go Crazy (Remix)’ with Jeezy, people started looking at Jeezy different. You hear him on ‘Hustlin’ (Remix),’ you start looking at [Rick] Ross a little bit different. You saw him jumped on Juvenile ‘Ha,’ you think I gotta take this down south a little more serious.”
Charlamagne continued: “I think Cardi’s doing both. I think Cardi’s helping to make the artist big and helping to make the music big. Cardi don’t just do the verse. She do the video, she go Live with them, talk about this that muthafucka, tweet about em — that’s what you supposed to do.”
The timing of the conversation is fitting as Cardi B is about to drop new Album. The Bronx rapper recently teased the new album on Instagram, saying, “I’m dropping my album this year so stay tuned for the announcement.
She already drop two songs this years, and both delivered impressive across the global music platform.
“I do have anxiety,” Cardi revealed in a video shared on social media. “I’ve been having a lot of anxiety ’cause I know right after I drop my album I have to go on tour. And I have bad separation anxiety from my kids.”
“When it comes to the music, I just be feeling like I don’t be liking anything,” she continued. ” I feel like I got so many songs, I just don’t like nothing. Like nothing is good enough. I got so much f**king money saved up, I be like, ‘Yeah, whatever the f**k.’”
