This is a gotdamn shame. NoName had a waaaay better album, if they wanted to rep a female. All live instruments, real female introspection.
Grammys are about sales/streams AND popularity, but damn, this throws shit in the face of all music with respect to artistry and quality. She can't rap, she can't write...charisma is off the meter though. if the wanted to award this shit/trap rap, them the Migos Culture album, was significantly better than this album.
The best Hip Hop albums just won't get love on this stage, and that is fine. I'd rather my culture stay counter, instead of chasing white stage highlights, while sacrificing artistry, ingenuity and depth.
Elzhi, JID, Masta Ace, Vince Staples, Logic (yes that Logic), Evidence and Roc Marciano release THREE albums in 2018, all had better releases than Cardi B.
