    One of the greatest rap albums ever. Cardi may not be the best at the genre, but she definitely knows how to step up the game. There are so many things she's experienced with on the album that it will make it a great ride from beginning to end.

    Cardi has made a super impactful Rap album these past few days. Being the best debut since Lil 'Kim's "Hard Core" and Lauryn's "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill", Cardi B expressed in its verses a woman totally empowered, self-possessed, sexually liberated, something that lately is not said with as much sincerity as Cardi says.

    This album sounds like a collection of songs produced to be hits for the radio. With the odd song such as 'Thru Your Phone' being one of the deeper cuts of the album, it still doesn't redeem this album. I listened to this, and had no urge to replay it. A lot of the time, Cardi sounds like she is short of breath; almost as if she is fighting to get through the rest of her verses. When youThis album sounds like a collection of songs produced to be hits for the radio.

A lot of the time, Cardi sounds like she is short of breath; almost as if she is fighting to get through the rest of her verses. When you look at her peers within the game, such as Doja Cat & Megan Thee Stallion, there is a reason she cannot compare to them. Cardi is a very one dimensional rapper, I don't see it in her to progress very far with versatility or her rapping style. I think Cardi might have a good 4-5 years of a stable career with hits, but if her sophomore album is anything like her debut; people will loose interest in her.

    The highlights of this album are it's collaborations, these make it more enjoyable to listen to it through, breaking up the solo songs because it gets tiring listening to Cardi sounding like she's about to strain at times.

    Cardi B is merely the latest to appear into the mainstream, a position she is sure to occupy for some time, and with enough potential showing on her debut release to give hope to anyone listening that she can only get better from here.
