#Cardi love and hip hop full
There’s heart and smarts fueling the Cardi B spectacle, and Gangsta Bitch Music, however clumsily at times, succeeds in delivering the full picture. Deep in the mixtape tracklist, “Everything” affects a 2pac flow and touches on relying on sex work to achieve a level of financial stability that could keep her kid out of the New York public school system and her dad away from driving taxis. Just when you think the tape is just a worthwhile party rap trifle, a danceable arrangement of good humor and modern sounds, Cardi flashes a bit of the determination that renders a disadvantaged Bronx girl suddenly rich and increasingly famous. With Cardi, what you see is what you get, and what you get is stone cold realness. She’s not fake deep on record and an ass everywhere else like Budden or a party animal on record who’s shockingly kind of normal in real life like Soulja. (“He wanna dab in this pussy, but I don't think he get the picture / He ask me what I want, I tell him make me look like Sub Zero’s sister.” “You run your mouth, I'm popping out, now it's on sight / You gon be just like my pussy-hella tight.”) What makes it work is that the persona on the show is her persona on the record is her persona on Instagram and Twitter. There’s a laugh-out-loud quotable a minute, partly because Cardi hasn’t all the way figured out this rap thing but also because she is deadly at roasting on the fly. “Sauce Boyz” roasts brokeboys making claims their bank account statements don’t back, and “Lit Thot” control-alt-delete’s trash dudes’ existences over cold Coronas. The mixtape is wall-to-wall trap beats and scammer scriptures.

1 is the first time a star created by Love and Hip-Hop even halfway nailed the “hip-hop” part of its title.

Michelle, who cleverly used Love and Hip-Hop: Atlanta as free promo for her long-overdue Rebellious Soul, but she came to the show with a following. Sound off in the Facebook comments as you will about whatever flop Olivia or Rasheeda single you favor, or make excuses for the shitty solo album Joe Budden timed for release in the middle of his first New York season or whatever that Lil Scrappy Tha Grustle situation was that one year.

1 is easily the most enjoyable body of music to come out of Love and Hip-Hop.
#Cardi love and hip hop tv
In a cable television landscape increasingly populated by torrid, scripted performance of reality, Cardi is a reminder of the magical, absurd unpredictability of regular ass people that birthed reality TV in the first place. She says everything you’re thinking as you watch the show’s gallery of goons scrapping over marginal local renown. Cardi B is the new season’s breakout star, a sensation because she’s whip-smart, pretty, and not here for the bullshit. The principal comedy of the show is how much they all care. ( Ta-ta-ta-licious much?) Personal vendettas rise and fall over middling beats and questionable guest verses imagine a Storage Wars where all the lockers suck.

The typical Love and Hip-Hop season is an endless array of launch parties for songs you never hear again after the credits roll, most of them bad and forgettable.
