Recently, Billboard published an article listing their top 10 most anticipated hip-hop albums of all time. On this list, they have Cardi B, and “Invasion of Privacy” at number 10.
Billboard cites Cardi’s multiple hit records on their Hot 100 charts, and how she even got to this point.
Billboard writes:
She’s been the most talked about rapper of the past year. She scored a massive hit with “Bodak Yellow.” Her personal life is as inescapable as her media presence. Cardi B is one of hip-hop’s most unlikely success stories, having risen through the ranks of reality TV to become a legit phenomenon in music. But she’s done it in an age where cynics believe that any artist with a catchy single and a good backstory can generate headlines — think Bobby Shmurda or Iggy Azalea — but sustained success has proven to be elusive for so many of these one-time “hot” artists.
But Cardi doesn’t look to be a flash-in-the-pan. She’s appeared on massive hit singles like “MotorSport” with Migos and Nicki Minaj; and stole the show on Bruno Mars’ “Finesse” remix with her short opening verse. “Bartier Cardi,” her 21 Savage-featuring followup to “Bodak Yellow,” hit the top 20 of the Hot 100, and her latest single “Drip” is buzzing online. With her debut album set to drop, you couldn’t be in a better position than Cardi B right now. This is her moment; whether she makes the most of it remains to be seen.
Cardi B joins countless artists on this list, including DMX, Dr. Dre, Drake, Ice Cube, Nas, Nicki Minaj and Kanye West.
In other news, Cardi B and her label Atlantic Records released another single on the heels of “Be Careful.” This single, “Drip,” features Migos and already amassed over 2 million views on YouTube.
Check out her latest single, “Drip” featuring Migos below:
Atlantic made them write this. The hype for this woman is so strange.
Cardi keeps asking on Twitter why so many people are angry about her success and this is an example of why right here. For her to be in the same conversation as greats like Nas and Cube, etc and she’s only been hot a year is just…a mess.
Yeah, Atlantic is going all the way with this one. So she should’t flop at all.
I just can’t get into this album based on the singles I’ve heard so far. I don’t know…..maybe I fed into the hype but I’m hugely disappointed. None of them have been bangers or memorable, but I’m sure the radio stations will wear them out to death.
Billboard doing a lot right now. I hope Cardi succeeds though.
Of all time though?
Cardi is an example of an artist who has a good machine behind her. So there is no reason for her to fail.
Too far.
If they don’t sit they a–ses down somewhere. This child is so overrated it’s scary. She can’t even rap and people are acting like she’s some rap god. What in the world…
I think a lot of people are just curious to see how she’s going to do. People are really going to stalk her album sales.
