So when she was doing stupid vine and twitter videos as a stripper before she put out gangster bytch music what was that?
That was her building the image/fame to make the the rest of this shyt possible.
Cardi is a star, no doubt about that. And that stardom is all her. But she's not an artist. There is a difference bruh, anybody can make music, rap music especially. But I don't want to see this genre turn into an avenue for people who are famous for nothing to monetize that "clout".
The music industry used to get folks tf outta here with that. Remember when Eddie Murphy was dropping music and that nikka can actually sing. But standards are so low that parlaying instagram fame is a viable avenue to rap stardom.
But it's already happening, after all Cash Me Outside, Bonk and Blac Chyna all trying to follow this blueprint. Lord help us on the day Kylie Jenner decides to rap.
I watched Cardi B open up for people who were nobodies then and are nobodies now.
You talking this up like some epic against the odds story when realistically this probably happened 2 years ago for some club appearance that was most likely earned by social media/reality tv fame which is my point exactly. ..
I'm sure the nikkas she opened for put out at least one or two mixtape themselves and they dont have record deals. Should they have followed her lead and focus on their social media clout over rapping?
After all once theyre poppin enough someone can just write their music for them later on and no-ones the wiser, right? Why give a fukk about rapping to be a rapper, where you can get to the highest stage in rap just by being famous?
Just because you don't feel she grinded as hard as you want her to doesn't mean she wasn't out there grinding. This shyt don't work the way you think it works anymore. It's a whole new era.
You know, I was about to do a whole "keep that same energy when it's ____" spiel, but I got curious and decided to search "plant" with your posts and see for sure.....
But when I said Kendrick was a plant the coli said I didn't know what I was talking about.
Why am I not surprised?
But wait....
Thats not a plant. Thats putting your people on.
The dudes they were talking about were cats with no legit props/respect from the rap community that labels pushed out to make superstars by doing commercial trash.
Kendricks a plant, interscope paid for section 80 to be made, the marketing, the dr.dre cosign to make him legit in hip hops eyes he was literally "planted" and manufactured to be a "grassroots" movement. Told you guys three years ago.
Here is your own definition of industry plant....and while here you reach to define Kendrick with it, shyt captures Cardi's career in truer words than I could have thought to type.
- Signed to the label famous for manufacturing artists "offically" less than a year after her first music project
- Already proven that her music is made for her by the label
- She existed as a celeb with no legit props/respect from the rap community until 2 years ago
This is perfect
Thank you for proving without a doubt yall nikkas base your standards 100% on image and hype.
chance is the most blatant plant in rap history.
battling in high school doesn't mean that your music has a buzz. I battled in high school(in a battle rap capital city at that) and I didn't really even rap.
I agreed with everything you said before the bolded comment tho, so I still dapped.
ummmm what?
- Buzz has nothing to do with whether someone is a plant
- The battle rapping is in the context of him "grinding" before becoming a star.
Mind you, it took less projects for Cardi to reach the mainstream than chance. But go on and tell me how he's the most blatant plant
