I vividly remember the first time I heard Cardi B. I was in the car with my mom and we were driving to New York this past summer for a family reunion. I had never heard of Cardi B before this moment. I think I MIGHT have been aware of her but I really dont be paying attention to all that Love & Hip Hop, Basketball wives, etc etc type reality Tv Shows.

The song that was playing was "Bodak Yellow" and My mom immediately went "yo, WHO IS THIS?!?!" and I was like man I don't know but this is flames! 
And I did recognize she had the flow from Kodak Black's "No Flockin". 

So, I Immediately looked up the lyrics in google and I found her. I was like man I don't know this chick, but shes DOPE! 

I had NO IDEA that "Bodak Yellow" was going to be as big a record as it was. 

Fast forward to 2018 and she has  5 songs on the billboard charts, Including her song with hispanic artist Ozuna. She is hands down the most successful newcomer to the game. And with all this new found fame and clout, of course, comes the haters.

I always make references to me being a rapper myself, But, I do this as a means to showcase that I do have experience with this. I studied the craft and have been doing it since I was 18 years old (Im 25 now). So, that being said, dude CARDI B CAN RAP. I listened to her "Gangsta Bitch Volume 1 & 2". Though there are a lot of "Fluff" songs, the songs that stand out, STAND OUT. And I think shes a much better rapper now, too. Everyone normally gets better with time. I have a lot of faith in her Debut Major Studio Album.

So this being said, People only hear what they want to hear and digest her from a surface level kind of mentality. Im going to use Wiz Khalifa as a good reference point.

On the surface Wiz Khalifa just seems like a basic stoner rapper who doesnt really talk about nothing of substance.

Thats not the case though. If you thourougly listen to Wiz Khalifa's music, on top of turning up and weed, etc, you'll hear amazing flow and wordplay coupled with themes of working hard, staying focused, being postive, grinding towards your dreams, brotherhood, and more. Wiz Khalifa is way more intelligent than people give him credit for. 

"See You Again" was a SMASH record and he didnt mention weed not once.

So now, back to Cardi. A lot of people, especially woman, Ive noticed judge Cardi. They call her a thot and says she just makes music for Ho's etc.....I just be over here like bruh , yall gotta stop hating! lol

Just like Wiz, I noticed that Cardi has a unique distinct flow coupled with exceptional wordplay, vocabulary, and themes of working hard, staying focused, flexin on the people who doubted her, and being a strong woman. 

Lines like the ones below prove to me that SHE IS NOT BASIC. Seriously, how can you hate on someone just talking about working hard and proving people wrong who doubt her? You should be inspired.

"Promise You I didnt luck up, was grinding all night, didnt sleep till the sun up"

"Look at me, Look at me, They didnt like me before, now they booking me". THATS A DOPE LINE!

She is an inspiration to all girls out there. SHE IS WHAT TRUE FEMINISM IS ABOUT. Being strong minded and not giving a fuck about what a Man or anyone has to say about how she lives her life.

The other day i was talking with one of my lady friends, and she was talking shit about cardi being on the song with Bruno Mars. She was like "IDK, i mean it just dont sound right. Like it wasnt bad. It sounded good but it dont sound like nothing she should be doing"

so I proceeded to ask why? and she responds, "IDK, I mean she a thot. She should just make thot music. Its too soon for her to be doing different stuff".

so then I was all like, dude SHES A RAPPER. 1) Why put her in a box like that? and 2) If she dont branch out and start doing different shit now, then why later? why wait? 

If shes capable, then she should make any kind of music she wants, long as its good.

and thats what Ive noticed is that all of the people hating on her, are only listening with what I like to call "The Hater's Ear". They just dont like who she is from the jump, so no matter what she does, their gonna view it with their "Hater's ear" lol

Another one of Cardi's lines is 

" Some people think I'm just a dumb bitch/ But if that was true I prolly wouldn't have shit"

This line is nothing but facts!

I swear Cardi is way more intelligent than people give her credit for. This was all speculation to me too,but I watched a couple of her DJ VLAD interviews and thats when I was convinced. Her personality is genuine and sincere and she is that goofy ratchet girl from the Bronx. Thats Who she is.

That being said though, shes also highly woke and intelligent. Thats what I learned in that interview.

and trust me, I feel like Im one of the kings of being a street nigga with intellect lol 

Thats exactly what cardi B is. A Street Bitch with Intellect.

She still shining though, so regardless of all the haters, I think Cardi is going to be A OK.

Im really looking forward to her Debut Album. I hope she doesnt make me eat my words lol 
Im praying for her constantly. I really do like Cardi B and I want to see her Win!

Thanks for your time as always !

Peave, love, and Light to you all :)
