  Speaker 1: and foremost, we gotta get on into the latest. So
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: let's get into it. So Parti B has a Fish
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: dropped her sophomore album, Manness has been.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: A long time coming.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: People have been having conversations about Cardi B. This album,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: whether the album would come, whether the album would not come,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: when it would come, how well she would do, how
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: well she would not do, what the subject matter would be,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: what the flow would be, the type of music would be.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Forever.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: It has been seven plus years since Cardi B has
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: dropped an album, and a lot of people thought she
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: was gonna do.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Her Lauren Hill.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: A lot of people thought that Cardi B would drop
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: one album and continue to do features and other things,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: but never drop an official full body of music. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the first album that she dropped was Invasion of Privacy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And now we are back again with him either Drama
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Now listen crazy news to the point where when I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: saw it on my timeline, I was.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Like, there is no way this is real. I was like,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: what that fast?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But then I had to think about the singles that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Cardi B released prior to the album that she added
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: on the album. Because the RIAA, which is the Recording
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Industry Association of America, just announced that Cardi B's am
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I the Drama album is already certified platinum on release day.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The album came out today, y'all, and before the end
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of the day, she is already certified platinum. But that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is because she added those songs that people There were
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: people that were upset about it. She added Up, which
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is five times platinum already on its own, and then
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: she added Wop with med thea Stallion, which was already
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: nine times platinum on its own. And because of those
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: records and you know, people downloading and listening to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: other songs newly, she today is already certified platinum on
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: her release day and is given's only up from here now?
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: In hearing this, because again, when I saw it, I
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was like, is this even real? And then I saw
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a Billboard article. And when I saw the Billboard article,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is real.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Billboard would not do an article. They would know whether
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: this is real or not.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And when I saw the Billboard article, I was like, Okay,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I can kind of understand why people would be upset
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: about her adding Up and Wop to the album, because
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it's like, she gets it. Things like this happened because
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: those records were such big records. But at the same time,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: who are we to tell her that she can't. Artists
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: do it all the time. It's actually, I mean, it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: kind of smart strategy wise, but I understand why people
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: would feel like it's cheating the system, because first they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: drop people are still checking for those songs. Don't get
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: me wrong, but first they drop. The full project itself
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is not giving. Oh it's been out for these amount
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of hours and now it's platinum.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: It's because of the work that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Those songs have done all of this time up until now,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: from the day that they were released. So I get
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it and again, and we talked about this in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: last episode. Carti said that she added these records because
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: her fans always ask her to put the songs somewhere
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that they can listen to it collectively. And also, she
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: says she taught of not being able to submit them
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: for the Grammy. She didn't submit it for the Grammys.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: These songs wop and up when they first dropped because
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: she was worried about what people would think because she
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: didn't have a full project out.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Now she has.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: A full project out and she's like, whatever, I really
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: want to know how y'all feel about that, especially the
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: music heads, like the hip hop heads.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Let me know how y'all feel.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Do y'all feel like SIS is cheating the code and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it's unfair, or do y'all feel like all of fair
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in love and war get outside in the streets and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the tweets for the tweets be outside, we outside, we
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: outside outside of tweet every other page. I'm Laura la
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Rosa everywhere l O r e N l O r
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: O s A. Let's have a conversation about it. I personally, again,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think that I have a strong feeling on
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: either side, but I do understand why now people were
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: upset when she announced that she would be putting those
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: songs on this album.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I completely get it, But also too, I think it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: like one of those things where it's like, don't get
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: her wrong. Cardi B is a huge star, a huge
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: music star. People were going to consume this album in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: crazy magnitudes because she hasn't dropped in so long and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: people well attached to everything she does. So it's not
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: like it's like an artist who like, you know, people
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: don't listen to people not checking for it, and they
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: do this the cheat, you know, as a cheico, like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's Cardi B.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Now some of the marketing we you know, I talked
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: about the door Dash situation here with you know Carti
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: has you know, am I the drama, the physical copies
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: being delivered by door dash. But one of the things
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I also thought she did was smart well. She included
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Walmart and Walmart deliveries in this rollout, because if you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: know anything about Cardi B, you know how much the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: everyday person appeals to her and feel like they're connected
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: with her. But also she still speaks to them even
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in her rollout, just setting her phone up and going
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: live and talking about things. But she's, yeah, she's working
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with Walmart to roll out this album and make it
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: where people can buy physical copies, and it's been doing
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: so well.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Cardi Aren't her doing her thing, y'all. I listen.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I just I think nowadays in twenty twenty five, it's like, Okay,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you got the music, and how good is that? How
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: good is the product you also have? How good is
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the marketing, the roll out, the visuals and all the things.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: But the strategy, this strategy was so smart. It was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like bring it right to your front door, period, which
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is very symbolic of Cardi B and what she's been
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: her whole career. Instead of us having to wait for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: media outlets to get statements and things of that nature,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Cardi B just hops on live or Twitter spaces. She's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: always straight at you. It's like direct to consumer. That
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is where she leans in you know best, and she
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: makes it fly. So the incredibly smart of her. One
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of the things I will say, we talked to her
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in the Breakfast club. Make sure you guys gonna check
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: out that full interview, and I had asked her about,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, her coming at bea on pretty and Pettious Fuck,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: which is one of the songs on the album, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: why now here's what she had to say, Pretty impettious fuck,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you come out the.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Gate, I'll be gave a bea yeah.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: At this point though, like I mean, so that reignites
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: everything because I remember y'all were going back and forth.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Your whole thing was you felt like you just doing
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this because you want my platform, you want attention. I'm
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: gonna give it to you, and then I'm done with it.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: This reignites it all. Like why even addresser again on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the album.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Because you mentioned my kids trying to be cute. There's
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: gonna be times that like people throw shots at you,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: or like there's gonna be times like you know, like
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: when she did her little this and it was trash.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: But it's like everything on social media is gonna be
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: seen So when my kids grow up one day and
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: they see that you mentioned them, and then they and
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: they're gonna ask me, like, so what you said?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: What you did?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna tell my kids, Like, you know, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: just felt like she took the high road because she
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: lost because people wasn't on her side. And now I'm
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: not saying that to my kids. You know what it is.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I feel like last year every artist was like.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Beefing girl, Like every every artist was beefing And I thought,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and I think she was gonna get a moment out
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: of that because she thought that I was copying her.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: And I had a conversation with her. First we was
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: cursing each other out. Then I had a real conversation
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: with her and I was like, listen, I'm not copying you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I don't even look at you like You're not a
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: person that I look at or i'm inspired by.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: And the conversation ended.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Then she kept going because of a music video and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: it's like, oh girl, you're definitely not on the moon board.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Then this bitch right, it being a lot of funny
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: shit behind the scenes. It really be a lot of
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: funny shit behind the scenes. This producer that was working
• 8:09

• 9:02
  Speaker 3: it's like and I know it was confirmed that it
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: was her that was going around with that rumor, because
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: when she did hear this, she kept saying.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Like, oh, why say how you how you like a

• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Have you ever got hit with a web belt?

  Speaker 1: And I tried to get her to name some of
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the other rap girls that she might be coming at
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: on this album, because there have been, you know, rumors
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: and reports that she was coming for the girls. She
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: wouldn't name them, but once the album dropped, because I
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: listened to the album before the interview to prepare for it,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and I caught some of the shit talking, but I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: didn't catch directly who I did think, And I wanted
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to ask her this, but I didn't get to it
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the whole first rap bitch to cover Vogue.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Sorry for the vulgar language, guys, that's just the line
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: in the song.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Carti b mentions that in a song that she has
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: called imaginary players, and a lot of people believe that
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that was, you know, shade towards Nicki Minaj, because Nicki
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Minaj has been in Vogue, but she just recently dig
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Us Vogue and I wanted to ask her about that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: but then get a chance to But I did not
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: know that she was coming at j T, who was
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: another rap artist formerly from the group The City Girls.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: That went over my head.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: But she had said something in our interview that made
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: me kind of think that that's what she was talking about.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: She had talked about rap girls, and you know, it
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: get weird with rap girls because they'll be friends and
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: she'll reach out and be friends with them and try
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to build them up. But the minute they got to
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: turn on her for somebody else, they do. Now I
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: get it. I'm like, oh, she was talking about JT
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: because she's had back and forth with JT, and somehow
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the Nicki Minaj conversation came into that back and forth
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: because JT has, you know, went on the road with
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj and all the things.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, oh, so she.
