Cardi B- Bodak Yellow now the #1 Song in America (Billboard Hot 100)

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

No wonder Trump won. The world has regressed to the mental state of cavern men.

So yeah is there actually a clean version of helpless?
 
Except the world has changed since Eminem and NWA rose to popularity.

They already made their point, and more eloquently at that. Now ironically their material is "edgy", yet it's being used to excuse the existence of this fucking trash.

Look at it as a perfect balance of female rappers finally being able to be as nasty and carry as much swagger as male rappers. apparently in hip hop there can only be one.

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

Nah man, not all mainstream music is that filled with disgusting curse words.

Check out "roll call" by lil jon
 
Her personality is probably what draws people to her most. That and it has very quotable lines for females I guess.

you mean their pettiness right?

I dunno man, feels like half the people growing up thinks being a savage hoe is a good thing or whatever lol/

Its not my scene.


Aww hell nah

You cant be woke and codone body surgery in any form.

The entire practice is juvenile and wholly repressive.

Even if you guys think this sucks, more female artists being able to send shitty tracks all the way to the top is a blessing

You can be woke by letting women do whatever the fuck they want for whatever reason without jumping nine feet to criticize, correct, or shame them.

Sorry but I'm going to point out people killing themselves as much as necessary dog.

Kanye lost his mother to the same shit and the black community doesnt need us killing ourselves considering that everyone loves to do that shit in their free time every time they have a damn picnic.

The practices behind plastic surgery has always been the work of the devil. And if you feel you have to change you're body, you're not woke. You're listening to the wrong voices in your head. Fuck the society that tells you to change one god damned thing about your body. They can kiss all of our collective asses.

Like the song. LOVE it now that it's gotten racists and nerds in a twist. Don't worry kids, Hatsune maku might make it one day..

she's far more like Nicki tbh

She’s basically trap Nikki. I listened to about a minute and a half of each song on her second mixtape on the way home from work and that’s my opinion.

Nikki has more range though, and has better lyrics (or Safaree’s ghostwriting).

The other thing is I’m not really sure what room she has to critique other rappers for rapping about things they don’t know about though, since she is on her mixtape rapping about duct taping bitches, and her team of shooters. I’m pretty sure that’s some shit that hasn’t actually happened.

Also she uses the same adlibs as Desiigner on at least one of her tracks.

Edit: don’t care about whether or not the song is offensive. It seems rather... standard. She’s rapping about having a tight pussy and a fat ass and nice shoes. Like I don’t even think nikki has a song that doesn’t mention one of those things.

Ah Eminem the guy who rapped about raping his mom and girlfriend numerous times. MUCH more eloquent than Bodak Yellow which is like really aggressive and stuff.
ftfy
I highly doubt you're having a PTSD moment over some words you read.

No. Not really. I like the song

That line just stuck out to me.
 
Even if you don't like Cardi B and doesn't think she "deserves" a #1 billboard hit, can we
All at least agree this is not as bad as when Baauer's Harlem Shake went #1?

You probably don't want to compare Bodak Yellow to some of the stuff one of the GOATs has done. :p

I think Cardi has that standard, mainstream style of rap that the young people enjoy. I can't say that I overly enjoy it, but I also know it wasn't meant for me.

I think the song is alright, and I'm glad it wasn't Nicki to be the first solo female to be #1. So sick of Nicki.

I wonder if some people are digging this more than others because it features a confident and secure woman rapping about her sexual organs and being on top of the game rather than a dude doing those things.

I'm still always surprised by just how much gender has an effect on people judging what's essentially the same content. We gotta grow past it, people.

Well, when her fans galvanize in an attempt to keep Cardi B from the #1 spot, it does have a bit to do with Taylor.

Salute to Cardi.

Damn, now I'm even happier.
 
The beat's nice but everything else is absolute shit.

It's the children who are wrong.

The Beat is trash tbh.

Her rapping is fine lol, the song is self aggrandizing and whatever really, not a fan of that, but she's got her delivery straight.

Dude wtf? This is coming kind of close to transphobia.
I'd rather not see people die over fucking with their body, what does that have to do with people who were messed with by their doctors?

These fools lie 24/7 to get payed. Body dismorphia is a huge issue and these fuckers need to stop pushing these negative practices imo.
 
Along with your opinion, it seems. Either develop a coherent argument for why they're trash or ghost the thread.

No thanks
I have no interest in discussing trash music


So glad Cardi out here getting the success she grinding for. Also funny seeing people coming into hip hop threads just to hate

I usually pop into these threads to discover new music as I dont really keep up with whats out. I recently stumbled across Blood Orange because of a music video a member posted a week or two ago and now I have a new artist to follow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like hip hop but I think the trap genre of it is passing me by. Didn't enjoy this song. Some trap songs like XO Tour Life have a really nice beat, and lyrics that seem facetious on first listen but when you listen more and more you unpack the meaning behind it and the pain or deeper emotional connection there and the song connects with you. Here its almost the opposite - the beat is minimal and the message of the song is blatant self-aggrandization with little room for interpretation or subtlety. Really not seeing what millions of others are in this song.

Some cursory googling tells me that the odds of dying as a result of plastic surgery are about 0.1%

I have never heard of her or the song. However, I am a bit confused.

Billboard lists her song at number 2:

http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100/2017-09-30

The Sept. 30 chart is the old chart. She's #1 on the new, Oct. 7 chart. Charts are updated on Tuesday. I think Billboard normally sends a news release on the following Tuesday's chart on Monday, but that might be wrong. They may have sent a release even earlier because of the historic nature of the event.

Then you're the worst kind of poster: the kind that enters a thread purely to show how elite & awesome he is for listening to better music than us lessers. You exist purely to shit up a thread with your proclamations with no intent to learn or even see other people's' points of view or even provide somehing useful via debate.

Your opinion is trash and so are your stupid attempts at gaining attention. Here's your damn quote.

Song is great, rap threads are weird.

I'll say

45% of the people coming in to be like "born in the wrong generation," another 45% overcompensating for that (like me)

The last 10% coming into say whether they fuck with it or not, then bouncing

Good job removing the part of my post where I explain why I come into these threads. High five! Here's your quote.
