Chapter 4: What are the expectations for Cardi B's upcoming music?
I said, I just saw you on Saturday. I just saw you Saturday. Did you take a day trip on a plane? A little quick one day in and out of time, man. Paris real quick. Go see Beyonce. Something light. Rory asked me if I went to Paris. I'm like, Rory, if you think I went to Paris for a day and turned around, you're crazy. I mean, that's the life of Maldo. Nah, no, it's not. That's a sick turnaround.
Flying from New York. Is that even possible? Yeah, you could definitely fly to New York for the day. How long? To Paris for the day from New York. How long is the trip to Paris? Same as London. About six, seven hours, maybe. Nah, you're definitely going past your 24 hours at that point. Nah. Getting your luggage, going to see Beyonce. You got to turn back around.
If you catch the first flight out in the morning from New York. Well, I thought he hopped on a jet with Jay. Well, that's what I assumed when Maude said that. But then he was like, oh, we were waiting on the runway. I was like, they would never do that to Maude and Jay. So I was like, oh, he had to fly commercial. I thought I flew to Paris with Jay for his set. Yeah. I promise you I did not.
We were all together Saturday and then he popped up in Paris. I was like, Maul probably wouldn't win. Nah, nah. Definitely didn't go to Paris. Would have loved to have been there. Seven hours, 30 minutes, plus the six hours ahead. No fucking way. That's a crazy turnaround. That's a crazy turnaround. Maul said, I don't love Beyonce that much. I said, I don't love Amara that much. Yeah, yeah.
You can't. Paris for the day? I love Beyonce that much. I would have did it. For a day? That's crazy. To see Jay-Z perform Niggas in Paris in Paris? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but not... If I'd have had to use my own wings to get there, I'd have did it. For one day? Yes. I'll stick to the footage. Yeah, I'm not doing that. Like private?
It's cool, but... Yeah, if you flying private like that, oh, then that's great. That's like... Nah, you're crazy. Stand by. You're crazy. I'll catch you on MetLife. Yeah, like I'll catch you on where I caught it at, Instagram. Or I just won't go. Yeah, like are you crazy? Nah, I'm not doing that. You took a little day trip. You know, we want to say what location, but a little tight turnaround.
Yeah, a little turnaround. I just went to go support a friend for the day. He opened a store down. Well, I'm not going to say where I was at, but he opened a store. So I went just to go support for the day and came right back to New York. That's all. He's hiding the support.
Yeah, like, damn, why you ain't support that nigga?
Tell us about him. You're not there no more. No, no, no, it's a clothing store. No, my boy opened a store. You don't want to say the name? Of the store? Yeah. Do I have to? Well, I don't know.

Chapter 5: What concerns are raised about Cardi B's upcoming album?
No one is. Right. That wave has kind of I don't want to say it's over, but the way things are marketing wise and the success that their singles are having and their albums are having like off first week, it's a completely different trajectory. The dominance is gone. Yes, it's the dominance is gone. And what I don't want for her is for her to.
not reach what she did previously because that's just very unlikely for anybody to reach what she did previously as far as the success of that first album because that was an anomaly it's not like oh I can do this and let me get better like it was like no you hit one hell of a lick you had the perfect album at the perfect time and the perfect climate for female rappers like it was literally the perfect storm for that album to do what it did and there's a good chance that no matter how good this one is it won't hit that and I don't want
The criticism that she's going to get from people who don't know anything about the music industry or the way that music is selling right now to get to her and stifle her creativity or make her not even want to be an artist anymore because we do know how sensitive Cardi is. So that's what I'm scared for. Do I think the album will do well? Yes. Do I think it'll do well first week?
Not if they don't fix this rollout. But I do think that Cardi is known for making good music. And I think over time, the sales will grow the same way that Dolce's did and that Lotto's did or whatever. But I just don't want her to pay attention to metrics that don't really matter that the stands and the fans are pushing on her and for her to feel like she failed.
It's just, no, but this is, and this goes back to, you know, a lot of people try to paint it like I was hating on Cardi. I love Cardi from the same town. I support her no matter what. But, When you have the success that she had on her first one out the gate, it's hard to match that. You can grow towards that. But the success she had off the first album...
Like, what else is there to accomplish after that? You get what I'm saying?

Chapter 6: How do metrics affect Cardi B's artistry?
It's like, she got everything off the first album. The looks that she got, the awards that she got, the accolades, everything, she already has it. So now, if this second album come out and she doesn't get those things, is that a failure?
that's what i always but that's why i always land on the side of just let the music be dope fuck the accolades fuck the metrics let the music be dope gotta develop more as an artist like the doji i didn't even know that was you know y'all know i'm terrible with titles that anxiety record i didn't even know that was doji i had no clue that that was a doji song it hit that when i go in any department store that shit is good and i'm like wait that's doji
I'm thinking just rap when it comes to Dolce, like getting her bars off. So to hear that, this is where why you say female rap is not because now you have to do more than just rap as a female. Give us some melodies. Give us some more pop. You know what I mean? Like lean a little more pop.
Chapter 7: What impact does the current landscape of female rap have on artists?
So now I don't know who she worked with on this project. I'm sure they had the best of the best in the room with her though. So we just got to wait to see what the... I'm not paying attention to the sales, if she gets nominated, if she... I don't... Because she has all that in her belt already. You know what I'm saying? I just don't want her to. I want the music, though.
I want the music to be great. As long as the music is great, great job, Cardi. All right, so we just pulled up the pre-save link on Apple Music, and it appears that track 22 and track 23 are up and wop. Mm-mm-mm.
Chapter 8: What insights are shared about financial struggles and friendships?
Now that scares me a bit. Bodak Yellow was how old by the time Invasion of Privacy came out? It was a couple years, but at that time, the streaming rules were different, and that was helpful. It went towards your total. They have now changed that rule. So had that rule still been here, I would totally get why WAP would be on this album. But the fact that that has shifted...
scares me because what benefit is up and wop being on this album really going to do in the scope of things now to be fair they are the last two tracks on the pre-order uh track list so i don't know if you know as far as the listen of the album if it matters But I don't like that, though. I don't like Up and Wap being on this album.
Can you think of a time when there was a regime change and a label and an A-lister put out a project immediately following it? I cannot think of a time. Typically, when they do their musical chairs shit and people become different presidents or whatever... Typically, if that president signed you, you're getting dropped because the new regime is like, yo, I didn't sign you. You're not my act.
I'm starting to take that on. But Cardi, of course, is A-list. So A-listers are going to stay there. It's not like they were going to drop Justin Bieber when L.A. re-left. Of course, they're going to stay. But I've never heard of them putting music out right after there's a new president and a new system. I don't know. This is all odd. I hope it's great. Outside, I don't know if that's the one.
Maybe it'll grow. Maybe with a visual. It's a cool record, and I don't know if just a cool record is it right now. Which is fucked up to say, because you know how hard it is to make a hit fucking record? It's one of the hardest things in the world. So to just say put one out, Cardi, is crazy to say, but I don't know if outside is the one that...
going to lead the momentum that is that is needed when you don't even know your new label president and you're just announcing but that's why i like what you just said about hit records and that's why we have to start giving more let's say applause To the artists that consistently do that. It's not easy to make a hit record.
No.
Consistently make hit records is not an easy... Hardest fucking thing ever.
No matter how talented you are.
