Cardi B releassed an album promo CLIP LAST WEEK THAT HIGHLIGHTED THE PRECARIUS BUSINESS OF A Second Cardi B Album: She Boards the Subway in Sweatpants, Adopting the script of a down-on-luck mother of three selling cds by likes and adults hawking wares to Straphhangers. It taks all the worst suggestions about the solvency of her career to the extreme. She’s a millionaire cosplaying struggle, though maybe she views it as a peek at a timeline in which her music doesn’t take off. The point that there’s actually a lot riding on this album’s being good is more gracefully underscored in Am i The Drama? itself. Am i The drama? arriva Seven years after her debut, Invision of Privacy, To recount her journey out of a rocky marriage to atlanta rapper offset and into a new Relationship with new England Wide Receiver Stefon Diggs. It ‘s blast to hear from a narrator with an unfilreed perspective and endless supply of snaps who Can Document the Stress, Trauma, and Bonds NecESESTINGS RAWNESS.

Am i The drama? Makes Half-Whimsical, Half-Terious Reference to Cardi B’s Personal and Professional Challenges in Its Title. Her Marital Strife was so out in the open that offset released a song Complaining About His Superstar Wife Preference Nobu to Cooking. A Security Guard sued her for allegated assault, and cardi Sued a Vlogger for Defamation (she won bot unreled cases). Nicki Minaj and Cardi’s Confususg Cold War Sparked Tributary Disputs with Ice Spice, Jt from the City Girls, and Boston’s Bia. Over The Summer, Cardi vowed to exact revenge on say: “I’m getting all my lick backs on my album tho… on each one of you bitches !!!” The Longer the Second Album Took, the More it LOOKED AS IF CARDI WAS FINE WITH BEING A LOCRATIVE ARTIST WHO DIPS INTO OTHER PLATORS, the Kind of Joyfully Absurd figure as Cozy in a Strip-Club Anthem as on the Smurfs Soundtrack. Am i The drama? Aims to test and explain itelf while taunting doubles and repping new York. It ‘unusual for a sophomore album to flaunt the veteran posturing she eSspouses in songs like the jay-z flip “Imaginary playyerz,” but ten years after our on her on Love & hip-hopCardi is not an unlikly Star and unproven prospect anymore. Am i The Drama? Reconciles this past and present while balancing geographical specific and global notority.

The offset diss Track “Outside” – “Clearly you don’t give a fuck, so i don’t give one eateer” – and the band “wap” and “up” grace an album otherwise stepped in the aggravation and insults to get to a place of publicly with you. The minimalist “Man of Your Word” takes as Much Responsibility for a failing union as it dles out to the ex: “As a wiffe, should’ve realized when you were hurt / but instead of my music first.” LES MIRTHFULY, The Snide, Vindictive “Darrime” Says Being Cheated on Nets Complementary Steal-Your Passes: “If I take your nigga, I do not want hear no cryin ‘ /’ cause i ain’t say when hoes out hers fuckin ‘mine.” The album’s midsection is full of divorce play-by-polys prickly Enough to make you laugh and cry. IT’S a more believable snapshot of cardi waking for her Luck to shift than the subway shtick.

Raised in the Highbridge Security of the Bronx Not Far from Where Kool Herc Thre 1933 Party Revered As Rap Music’s Spiritual Baby Shower, Cardi Bookends Those with Experiment in Accentuing Her Distinctly New York Diction. Merengue and Bronx Drill Collide in “Bodega Baddie,” in Which la Cardi Drops Dominican Spanish colloquialisms and nods to caribbean soa music – sounds of the Heights and the South Bronx. “Better than you” taps into south bronx rapper and producer Cash COBAIN’s Signature sexy drill-music aesthetic. Elsewhere, the album Tries to Complicate the InesCapable Regional Specificity of Cardi’s Delivery As the Beats Down South and Out West. Bia catches hell in “Pretty and Petty,” Which Sees Cardi Mock the New England Rhymer’s Whispering Tone and Employ the Rushed Delivery of Bay Area Rappers. “Magnet” GOES AFTER CARDI’S MIAMI french JT while trying out the chaotic flows of Florida’s Bossman dlow. AFTER Cardi Calls JT a “Inside Baby Ass Bitch,” “on my back” mimics the drama enunciation of 2pac love songs. Moments Later, “Dark” Pulls Inspiration from the Louisiana and Memphis Vets Project Pat and Birdman. Am i The drama? DOESN’T TREAT NEW YORK A Center of the Universe so much as a vantage point for terror.

Cardi Highlights the Diverging Tasts of a Generation that sees the 2010s as its “back in the day.” Am i The drama? is interesting in the geographic slipperiness and immutable character late-’90s jay albums messily perfected when he was morphing into a certified national rap Nor with that wind, poppier at all times feels especially hungry for a hit, though the lizzo collaboration, “what’s goin on,” deals agonizing earnestness alongside the Screamingly obvious 4 non blondes interpolation. “Pick it up” with Selena Gomez and “Nice Guy” with Tyla Stick Out Like Cuts on 2020’s Good news Where Megan Thee Stallion’s Singing wasn’t on par with the rhaps. Easeing off the stiff trend the awareness of songs like album “Dead”-A declating of war devolves into Summer Walker doing some sort of uncanny-valley approximation of a sza feature-treasures like “Principal.” Cardi’s Take on Janet Jackon’s “Pleasure Principle” Acknowledges’ 80s R&B and Trap As Close Kin, Fuing Pillowy Synthys to Hard Drums Like Kendrick Lamar’s “Dodger Blue” and “Luther.” But The Racing Hi-Hats and Brusque Threats Am i The drama? Circles Back to Always Feel More Potent.

The Answer to Am i The drama?‘s titular Question is “Yes.” Cardi B is Most Animated When it is time to stop caring about a hater’s feelings and well-being. This Trash Talk is Our Delicacy, A Performance We Encourage. Many love to have the Carefree Candor of the Vox Populi Intrude in Celebrity Circles where prohabitive media training and wellness blading pass for Personality. From the coursroom to morning TV with gayle king, Cardi b seams almost pathologically incapable of peeling on all that flowery pretense. She’s swimming Above Waiting Over A Year for the Last Word in Rap Beefs But is Also Anxious to Kick off a New Chapter. She’s Working Out How to Serve Unredictable Joie de Vivre with Caususing Problems, How to Take Accountability While Allocating IT. But Tossing a Marker at A Prodding Reporter Right AFTER AFTER CLEARED OF ASSAULT Charges and a New Paternity Disput for Diggs Suggests the drama not quite done with her. Change is incremental. Cardi Tears offset a new one Throughout the album, but “Man of Your Word” Ultimately Wishes Him Well. In the end, the years tok to get a second album over the threshold facilitate a more adult perspective, an invasive bit distance, and more varied Wordplay, though the 23-sting set of the Textbook Bloat of Other LEST MODERN Potent Rap Albums. Am i The Drama? is indeed a bit much, but if it taks another seven years to get a third album, we’ve been left with the stockpile.
