Charlamagne Tha God gave Cardi B props for working with rising talent in the industry…now many others are doing the same.
“Salute to Cardi. Cardi shifted that in the culture. Because Cardi made it to where, you’re the OG, you the person that’s made all the money, you sold all the records, but you have no problem putting your arm around that next person,” said Charlamagne Tha God.
He continued, “Cardi did for female rap what Jay-Z and Drake did. Jay-Z, whatever that next thing was out, Jay-Z was jumping on it. Whether it was Juvenile’ Huh’, whether it was Rick Ross, whoever it was, Jay was jumping on it. Whether it was DMX, whatever it was, Jay was on it. 50 Cent, Jay was jumping on it. Drake did the same thing. Drake did it with lesser known artist.”
“What Drake did was make the record big, I think what Jay did with those co-signs he made the artist big,” he added.” I feel like he made those artist big, I feel like Drake made the song big. I think Cardi is doing both. I think Cardi’s helping to make the artist big and she’s helping to make the music big. ‘Cause Cardi don’t just do the verse. She do the video, she goes live with them like talking about how ‘Yo, this that motherf-cker.’ Tweets about them.”
Recently, fans noticed Nicki Minaj making more of an effort to reach out to rising female rappers. Ice Spice being the most prominent one.
