My Thoughts: Cardi B


Cardi B

I was speculating on what to blog about when I remember I never gave you guys my thoughts on Cardi B. The New York rapper really took the game by storm in 2017 and last year. I would say the praise is pretty well deserved. Of course with every celebrity there is controversy. I'll touch on that too.

If you've been following me you know that I'm a big Cardi B fan but I'm also a big Nicki Minaj fan too. I think Cardi is an explosive rapper. What she may lack in lyricism she makes up for in energy and delivery. And no I wouldnt qualify Cardi as a mumble rapper. She aint mumblin ha ha. She gets a lot of flack for not "writing her own raps" or "using ghost writers". Truth is a lot of rappers do that nowadays.

There was also some controversy with Cardi inviting men to sleep with her and another woman and robbing them afterwards. I certainly don't condone these actions but everybody has darkspot or two in their past.


Question: Is Cardi B now the game's top female rapper?
Yeah I figured why not answer the elephant in the room. I'm actually going to say .....right now, yes. Nicki while still (i.m.o.) the most dominant female rapper all time, thats all time. Cardi is certainly on top right now. She might owe some of that success to her personality but hey its all good. Her videos on youtube and instagram rants are a lot of fun to watch.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

 I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
