I really don't want Cardi to do any more features with the R&B girls, they don't know how to promote at all. But, I will say it's interesting that Cardi helped Normani and Lizzo score their biggest debuts on the Hot 100, even though the songs were labeled "flops"

Why not....

 

Female R&B fans are exactly the core fanbase for Cardi

 

The male Hip-hop fans will sooner or later ditch Cardi, she needs to secure the female R&b audience . Nicki did a million collabs w male rappers, was in Young Money w Lil Wayne and Drake. Do Drake and Lil Wayne fans still support Nicki Minaj now? 

 

I think her collabs with Normani, Lizzo and Summer Walker (No Love Remix) are very strategic actually

I've already played Shake It 100 times & I swear it gets better with every listen 

[HandsomeGumDrop]

I want Cardi to have another 2018 - 2019 era again that girl was unstoppable releasing music back to back Cardi also unpinned Up from her YouTube channel so we getting something soon and if Shake It don't debut in the top 10 hopefully it's top 15 or top 20 I wish the song is performed at the Billboard awards.

It does.

Truth be told I would have a huge issue with Cardi if she ever tries to make herself too pop. Her lane is hip hop/street/urban mainstream without watering it down.

 

Go on watered down pop songs as features but her Hip hop stuff needs to be tight.

 

If a BTCh can get me to stream Akon (who i was a fan off back in my college years and early career years (2004-2007) after I unstanned him LOOOONG ago...that's POWER

 

Ya'll just don't know how the clubs and parties where with the original song and it wasn't even a big hit it barely went top 40 after Lonely went top 5

 

Give us variety Belcalis.

Now that you put it that way I DO get that. I was on the no more r&b collabs because I don't think the synergy is there. It's cute but it's not the same strong synergy as her hip hop collabs or even pop collabs BUT long term it does show her in a different light.

 

But you've done your charity work helping out these girls who either already peaked as they were used for political purposes (body positivity), staying above water or just not going to be that girl no matter how many tries.

 

Maybe if the budget is HIGH in terms of production then the synergy will match better but yes I guess you've changed my mind. R&B collabs are still welcomed.

 

Future r&b collabs need to be with a list

[reymiu]

Cardi can just drop smth with a feature to aim at r&b female audience

 

Ring w Kehlani was a hit , peaked at #2 on Rhythmic and top 20 at Urban radio

I'm starting to wonder if the poster is trolling and a possible dupe because they say the most outlandish things but in a very obvious way.

 

 

My excitement will go up when the era begins but I do get a sense that it's coming but is it 4/29 or May. We'll see.

[KingOfUrbanPop]

I feel like some of y’all tryna set La Cardi up….anyways for this to be doing the numbers it is with these boys only having 10k followers and some of their  biggest vids being in the single digit millions it’s quite a success. Billboard or not, now if she collabed with Boogie , Tjay or Fivio and it didn’t chart then people would possibly have room to talk ****.

 She did this for the Bronx, not the charts.

AYE! The only thing that flopped was the No Love Remix, which tech. didn't flop, she just didn't get credit.

Spoiler

Oh yeah, Rumors too.

The charts are at their lowest -point wise- and she can’t even get credit on a remix or chart top 20 with a new feature. Say what you want but she is flopping with her collabs. Idk what they’re waiting for with the album but that **** ain’t coming out. Are they waiting on a hit? If so why not release it when WAP or Up were doing well? Makes me think she & Atlantic are waiting for Nicki to drop. Idc what delulu bardigang member tells me.

  Hide contents

Go worry about Cardi constantly dragging bardigang 

There really is no excuse why she has taken this long. 

I doubt they’re waiting on Nicki… she hasn’t been a threat in a while. I think they were expecting one of her Features to blow up (Normani, Lizzo, Sza, Kanye) and they all failed or didn’t come out… or maybe they are waiting for Doja’s reign to calm down since she’s smashing and only getting bigger and bigger 

[Alex]

the only reason they would be waiting on Doja to calm down is if she's coming with a Pop hit as the lead, otherwise they're in 2 different lanes completely and have no competition

This is WORSE than waiting on Nicki to drop 

[slw84]

Another twitter meltdown chile

 

Im glad I was busy all morning cuz i'll be damned.

 

Why can't she hire interns to do that? Most celebs have interns doing that. 

 

LOL at the girls reaching: Oh she's waiting for one girl to drop (like it's not the other way around) or oh she's waiting for another girl in the pop lane when there is no indication of Cardi trying to go pop.

 

Was this the excuse when she was prepping a Kanye feature for February. No.  His antics killed that collab which would have been in line with Up's February 21' release except her pregnancy prevented a 2021 but a May single would have been next last year.

 

A May if not late April seems to be coming.

 

We wanted the next single during low chart points but she doesn't wait until low chart points to release which is good even though we would have preferred it.

 

She has to come this summer as her sound engineers have been in the studio. they were in there in 2021 to go over tracks with as she noted " the white people with the money" and they were pleased but still talked about that damn 1-2 songs mess.

 

Now if she says that mess again I'm getting my pitchforks ready but whether she likes it or not Atlantic is making her release this summer.

 

I think Atlantic knows she has hits but Cardi wants to make anther body of work and not a Rihanna esque hits album. 

 

It's times like this when it would be better Cardi was under a 360 or something where she had less control

 

We'd at least have a re-release, EP and CB2 by now if Atlantic enough control over Cardi. BOSS BTCH

 

Regarding below: Lizzo is the ONLY feature they expected to blow up and it flopped. Normani was her Mother Teresa (she was about to get dropped and Cardi funded a portion of that MV allegedly), The Sza/Summer one is for the r&b dominance not at top 10 or #1 expectation and Kanye would have been one they'd look for a hit for

I don’t think so tbh… doja has been killing it lately and breaking records, especially Spotify records. Not to mention she got the most headlines of Coachella, Women is top 10, her album is still doing great.. like.. what has Nicki done even REMOTELY close to what Doja is doing??

What's not clicking with the girls?

Ole girl is fighting for her legacy. She's a talented rapper who spent more time chasing trends and wasting her talent on mc donald's easily excitable throwaway material vs content and now she's trying to legitimize and fill in the hollow part. Her image is tarnished and she is tolerated not celebrated in an industry who celebrates Rihanna and Beyonce and STILL Lil kim and Missy. 

 

Meg needs to get her footing because she's talented but what is she aiming for. It's like she's going all over the place dizzy but not focused on a direction. I wish her well but she needs to recalibrate.

 

Doja has learned from the mistakes of Salt n pepa, Lil Kim, Eve and ole girl going more pop and losing audience (for Salt n pepa briefly before they corrected their mistake and came back strong) and a female rapper pop artist who blends rhythmic sounds and overall is a fusion artist but we must not compare her to greats like Lauryn and Missy who did pop/soul/r&b/hip hop/dance etc. and still regarded as a female rapper first and foremost. Doja is doing what Rihanna did back in the day filling a pop role and getting nominated in r&b categories undeservedly and hip hop. Unless Cardi ever tries to go in that direction (she shouldn't because she has a strong gender neutral GP hold on hip hop and has SO MUCH room to grow there) then no that's not a big factor.

 

Latto is a cute girl. the other girls are cute.

 

I been told ya'll Cardi's an instant icon who already changed the game. There is NO LONGER A MONOPOLY on female rap or the 1 year career girls like Iggy/Azealia/Tink/Dej/the Ouuu girl. We are back to the 90s line up with different female rap perspectives and various queens on their throne which includes ole girl who needs to focus on legitimizing her legacy not trying to be trendy. 

 

Cardi needs CB2 to solidify that it wasn't just luck the first time. She is responsible for other female rappers getting signed, paving the way for endorsement deals, getting grammy's etc.

 

Rap icons are not given every other year. It's once every 5/7/10 years.

 

Cb2 is either going to be a Rihanna Talk that talk hits album that means nothing or CB2 will take it to the next level and will increase her empire potential for the future.

 

That said, good luck getting that CB3 we speak of. Homegirl is cashing out and the best chance we can get is a biopic 8 mile soundtrack as a "3rd album" so we hope Cb2 is great because it's going to be the last BIG album unless they just add unreleased songs and put them on an album after CB2.

I don't even think we wanna know.

Did she threaten to kill somebody again?

 

It's giving intensive therapy long overdue vibes. Never in my life have i wanted an artist to be in LESS CONTROL of their narrative than Cardi but I love ha.

You don’t think it’s worse that Atlantic/Cardi is waiting for someone else’s hype to die down? When that person, like you said, got the most headlines from Coachella and continues to score hits from her album from last year? Her hype is not going down lol. If they are waiting on Doja’s hype to die down then yes it is worse
