Cardi B went on Instagram Live and gave an interesting explanation for what’s been happening with current state of rap. She said that she’s what’s missing in rap, not only because it all sounds the same but because in so many words.. she’s the life of the party. “I know what niggas is missing in the club. Me!” she said. “They missing me, they missing my music. And now that I’m in the game and everything and I be seeing all these muthafuckas on Twitter like, ‘You need to have rap, you need to have bars, you need to have this…’ I want to make music to turn the fuck up. ’Cause when I go to the club, that’s what niggas wanna hear. Niggas ain’t hearing no — I feel like we keep hearing the same song over and over and over again.”
She went on to say that rappers and their drug consumption is dragging their music down. “These rappers nowadays, all of them wanna die,” the “I Like It” emcee added. “They all wanna die. All these niggas need to stop doing lean and smoking weed. You know, this the thing about these rappers, right? They get money and they start buying too much muthafuckin’ weed, and too much lean and they make that slow shit. The club need me. The strippers need me. The hoes need me. The muthafuckin’ get money niggas need me. I wanna shake my ass!”

What she said isn’t wrong. One thing about celebrities is that their lives aren’t the same as everyone else. These are people that don’t have set schedules so they don’t have to be up for a regular 9am job everyday and with extra disposable income and time to spare, that’s more time to indulge in bad habits. And without anyone to reel them in, that’s exactly what you get, a bunch of slowed down, depressing songs. That is except for Future. He said he raps about nothing but drugs but doesn’t use any of it. That’s an interesting, arguable dishonest approach at having a career but hey, whatever works. It’s entertainment. You’re not supposed to believe everything you see anyway.
