Folk will focus on the heavyweight names he put her alongside, but the specificities of what he’s praising Cardi for are facts from our vantage point and really ought to be studied and adapted by others.

That whole “embrace not beef” mentality Cardi has is what has extended her reign in the absence of that elusive second album.

From GloRilla to Latto to Scar Lip to countless others, Cardi has made it routine to lend her reach and platform to those coming after her.

Avoiding the mistakes of others, who would assert dominance over newcomers, she has flipped the narrative. And, as a result, reaps the benefits both culturally and commercially. Granted there will always be an air of competition in Hip-Hop (and music more broadly), there also is undeniable strength in numbers. A memo Cardi clearly gets.
