Musically, “WAP” doesn’t need much to get over — it’s basically a bass line, a beat and a sampled snippet from an old Baltimore club track, Frank Ski’s “Whores in This House.” But the women’s vocal exuberance is the show — the way they tear into each perfectly rendered lyric and chew up the words like meat. Their flows are dramatically different, too; Megan’s a sensual growl and Cardi’s a staccato bark. But the personality bursting from each voice — you can easily picture both of them without even seeing “WAP’s” music video, which is a whole other delight — makes clear why the women have quickly become two of pop music’s biggest stars.

To coincide with the release of Elle magazine . In the accompanying interview, the rapper talks about everything from her passion for politics to her marriage to her most controversial moments, including one where she used a racial slur to describe her As noted by BuzzFeed, earlier this summer, Cardi shared a pic of a "grownup" Kulture to Instagram and replied to a comment saying that the older version of Kulture looked like Cardi's sister Hennessey. "I think cause Hennessy got ch*nky eyes like Offset and so [does] KK. It's the only [thing] I could think," Cardi wrote. The word Cardi used to describe her daughter's eyes is a derogatory, racist slur to refer to someone of Asian descent. As expected, the backlash from fans was swift after Cardi's original post and it led to Cardi issuing a response via Twitter shortly after. "I don't know f*ckin' everything. We don't even use that as [an] insult and I don't use it as [an] insult. I'm sick of the internet," she wrote in a now-deleted tweet per Buzzfeed. In her new Elle interview, Cardi addressed the use of the word, saying she wasn't aware of the history behind it and its negative and hurtful connotations. “Never in my life, my 27 years, I never even knew that was a racial slur," she told Elle."I was describing my husband’s and my sister’s eyes, and my daughter’s eyes... I don’t even know how to describe their eyes anymore because that’s how I used to describe their eyes. I don’t even know the word. That they’re almond-shaped...

All The Way Up Despite the haters, Cardi B continues to rise and prove that she's one of the most dominant and important female rappers in music history. Interview: Vanessa Satten Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared in the Spring 2021 issue of XXL Magazine, on stands now. Described on its website as “the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere,” At 4 a.m. on a frigid mid-March morning, a small team of photographers, crew, glam, editors and a publicist huddle outside on Edge’s observation deck in 34-degree temperatures as Cardi poses for pictures. Despite the frigid weather and strong winds, the rapper, born Belcalis Almanzar, is focused on getting the perfect shot. Her team is lined up on the side with blankets to warm her up. Cardi’s freezing, but she keeps pushing to get the right shot. She fought to use this location and wants to make the most of it. Cardi B is no quitter. That’s the overall sense one gets when talking to the 28-year-old Bronx-born artist. She’s a fighter in every sense of the word and wants any opportunity to prove people wrong, to show she already has—or wants to learn to have—what it takes to master what’s required. Cardi is bold, brash, controversial and caring. She’s been this way publicly since she broke onto the music scene in 2016, after appearing as a regular cast member on Love & Hip Hop: New York. It was Cardi’s wild social networking antics that first got her attention. She then eventually evolved into a reality show per...

Music Business The True Disturbing Meaning of “WAP” by Cardi B Cardi B’s “WAP” is considered to be a “cultural phenomenon” and is described by mass media as “empowering” and “sex-positive”. However, when one understands the meaning behind the symbolism of the video, “WAP” takes a dark meaning that is at the exact opposite of “empowerment”. It doesn’t take a rap historian to know that WAP is not the first raunchy song in rap history. Over 30 years ago, 2 Live Crew released the highly explicit single Me So Horny which became a massive hit with teens across America. Soon after, major controversy ensued and, for the first time ever, a U.S. district court judge ruled this recording “obscene”. The album was banned from sale in Florida and a lengthy legal battle ensued over the song’s lyrics. The decision to ban the album was later overturned on appeal. This final ruling – which was upheld by the US Supreme Court – was deemed as a victory for free speech. In the following years, the rap world saw a constant flow of raunchy songs, many of which were performed by female rappers. And nobody really batted an eye. Fast-forward in 2020: WAP is unleashed onto the world. And everybody loses their minds. And, because it is 2020, people found a way to make this song about moist female genitals political and divisive. On one side, mass media gushed over the song (pun intended) with unlimited praise. Complex magazine called the song “the epitome of female empowerment” while the Los Angeles T...
