On Tuesday (Nov. 28), Cardi B was nominated for two Grammys for her No.1 single "Bodak Yellow."
The recording artist has been busting her behind for years now and in 2017, Cardi shined like the rising star she is. Though she expressed how happy she was for the nominations, it seemed like the rapper saw something that made her feel like she had to defend the current state of hip hop.
In a now-deleted video, Cardi addressed older people who have a problem with the new generation of rap. “You know what I hate about people? Like, they always wanna talk about how hip-hop is dead, that these new artists, this new generation of artists is f**king up hip-hop and how they want hip-hop to be back how it used to be,” the "No Limit" artist said. “But it’s like, these new artists, alright, but you guys, you guys are a big part of it. You know, if you really love these rappers and if you really want hip-hop to be back to how it used to be, then why don’t you make those rappers that you like hot?”
Cardi continued: “You know, you make the artists, you make the, you make these people get their songs played on the radio because they get a lot of streams and a lot of sales first and then they hit the radio. So stop fronting on how you hate this new hip-hop, how you hate mumble rap, how you hate this, how you hate that. You love it. You love it.”
