I like her story and her come up. And she definitely has a unique voice.

I'm not a huuuuge fan of the song, but good for her.

I love hip hop, but I can’t believe a song with opening lyrics of “ you can’t fuck with me” be #1
 
Some of the posts in this thread are nuts. This song is fine. My girl likes it a lot.

Literally nothing about this is shocking or challenging in anyway. It's a decent mainstream hip-hop single. Those of you acting like your world is being rocked by this need to get out more.
 
Good to see some fresh blood in the top, even if i hate the song.

Though, for real, Portugal The Man has a top 10 hit now. Thats a goddamn miracle right there. A+ for that.

Her story is crazy from being a stripper to becoming a Reality TV Star and now a rapper with the hottest record in America.
Song is OK, but I have to say her story doesn't sound crazy at all in today's showbiz. I'd be much more surprised if she was a classically trained singer or something along those lines.

Trap mumble rap whatever it is barely qualifies as hiphop in my opinion. It's pop music, don't stress about the lyrics.

On that note, the beat and flow sound identical to fifty million other songs out there, except it's a female vocalist. Good on her for finding success and working hard, but christ almighty this track is boring.

I hate the "won't somebody think of the children" mentality, but don't you think music like this normalizes aggressiveness and violent behavior? I like my dumb and sexy songs, that's ok, but maaan, this is the No1 single in america and I don't see the positive side here.

Old man yells at cloud I suppose.
I don't mind personally. The concept of "curse" words seems archaic.
It's not the words, it's the message. I don't think you'd be calm and collected if your daughter came home saying how that sad bitch Cindy is not fucking with her anymore at her school.

The president calls professional athletes sons of bitches and mocks disabled reporters. Modern America doesn't care about profane language as long as they resonate with the message. Hell, kids are raised on YouTube channels as much as cartoons now and youtubers have little to no hesitation using profanity.

I can't stand popular music threads on this site anymore, it's always filled with H O T T A K E S about how the song is trash/music was better back in X day. Literally no one cares about what REEL RAP music is to you.

Goddamn it's dusty in here.
 
Nah, she's much better off where she is. The "mainstream" industry changes people, man.

Being "mainstream" in 2017 is different than what it was 10 years ago thanks to the internet. Chance is mainstream even though it doesn't feel like it.

There's people in this thread that need to go out more or haven't been out in a good min.

Definitely agree with that. Chance took a different route than most, but still made huge success out of it.

More artists should do it like he did.

Posts like this are just as obnoxious. Literally a hot take.
 
A friend of mine is a big Cardi B fan and she seems super likable, so I'm happy for her success congrats girl. I'm not the biggest fan of the song itself but it's decent.

- Plays song on youtube
- First 10 seconds: "Said little bitch, you can't fuck with me, If you wanted to "
- Closes tab forever

The fuck? Is this mainstream music these days? That's fucking dusgusting.

You'd have a heart attack if you heard NWA.

It's 2017 and we're still propping up lowkey racist narratives about hiphop music and violence. Man, come on.

A mother called a popular radio station and was telling her that she admires her and likes her music but she wants Cardi to tone the lyrics since younger people listen to her.. including her daughter.

Cardi " it's not my job to raise your kids plus I make adult music ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
This shit truth.

Song will fizzle out but it definitely goes and bangs. Props to her.
> Nicki tbh

PTM getting a top 10 hit is a modern miracle though.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Her accent is the best lol.
Difference between regular talking and rapping is huge with her.

Yup. She’s gonna be 2017’s Desiigner.
Nah, she had buzz even before rapping... Doubt she will be gone that quick, with her social media clout.

On the flip side there’s people in GAF that stan for all sorts of mediocre artists.

See: The glowing thread on Tiimmy Turner:

Edit: thread is actually kinda mixed... but still, wth the benefit of hindsight we can all see that Desiigner is trash. Cardi B will be seen the same way next year.

Her come up is fucking crazy; I remember her old Instagram videos when she was still stripping, and now she made it to the #1 spot
