Cardi B talks about her album “Son Mariage et la Maternité”

Cardi B is determined to cement her place in music, all in time for her two children.

It’s easy to recognize that Cardi B, 31, was born Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, whose album is active. An album of all the records that won Grammys and bubbled up culture, but an album when it’s me. In 2018 Invasion of personal space l’a propellee au sommet. Three years ago she did a striptease. Porte according to the principle ” Bodak Yellow “, the most important songs in New York rap history, the album and their impeccable execution contribute to creating what is in the lackeys of all the women who love and thrive in hip-hop. ” These labels don’t matter to new rap artists.Cardi explained. People of all labels m’ont dit ça en pleine face. He started signing new rappers after I signed them. What does it mean soient les meilleures rappeuses (ou) qu’elles fassent simply de la bonne musique, au bout du compte, devinez quoi? They are in your main playlist. »

Along the route, Cardi becomes more than two, but she doesn’t get lost in her role. On the contrary, she enhances all aspects of her son and includes sexuality, and she makes her film debut in the movie. hustlers, Jennifer Lopez and signed up for the great ode to vagina history, “WAP,” with Megan Thee Stallion. She received plus a billion streams for four different songs on Spotify. And she delivers a series of period pieces poised to take on bold personalities from new rap venus like GloRilla to R&B singers like Summer Walker and Latin stars like Shakira.

After all these achievements, the prospect of the suite à Invasion of personal space Cardi looked worried. Pouvait-elle égaler son succès precédent? Are there any good songs? They got married in February, and fellow rapper Offset lui a dit clairement ce qu’il pensait: ” Arrêtez d’avoir peur and lâche l’album “

In a March 1 Instagram video, Cardi confirmed at the beginning of the fair that she was breaking out the album this year. À la mi-mai, cependant, elle retropedale: “ De toute façon, PAS d’album this year, je m’en fiche, je me détends ” Peu de temps après, elle effacera ce tweet, son confirming rolling stone The Qu’un album in 2024 is the previous album.

We return to Mars Night in Los Angeles, Cardi working on her accomplishment, but most of all relaxing for the encore at the fair: the intro and three additional songs. ” This is my punishmentdit-el. So much so that the album won’t be ready, it won’t be rented outside of me. »

After my last three registrations in Los Angeles and Miami, cities where real bureaus live, Cardi is nostalgic for her son, who is in the Cote de Sa-Ville-Natal in New York. ” When I get to Los Angeles, tell me that I’m ready to be honest and that I’m already there.dit-el. Well, after a few days I start thinking about my country, I feel like one and I say: “Ma fille…” Mes enfants me manquent “

Brunson, who has been present these days since 2016, says the music fair means ” Russian mountains of emotions » pour Cardi. The singer is very demanding. Elle seut que l’album ait une grande portée, but it also reflects the mosaic of women who are. “ Je suis une personne différente Chaque Jour Jourdit-el. Lorsque je suis de bonne humeur et que je suis avec mes amis, je me dis: “Bon sang, je veux que mes chansons soient jouées dans ce club.” But most of all I think that I sympathize with my man and I envy the other chanson. Another bathroom, I have a new pop-morso. Je veux singing. »

Moreover, Cardi B turned out to be one of the six most important years in the world without a simple stroke of luck or a mediatic coup, et elle tavaille d’arrache-pied et avec une anxiété pour y parvenir. After leaving the studio, Cardi performs her unmixed and unmastered chanson. Lorsk je la vois ensuite, in New York, je la repéter son texte des dizaines de fois, s’attardant sur ses moindres tics, hauteurs de voix, inflexions, accents. She demands all horizons from her confidants.

However, when gens doutent de son devoument à son métier, it is annoying. ” Hier, je parcourais TikTok and une connasse m’a fait pleureravoue-t-elle after canapes du studio. Elle me disait: “Il faut qu’elle leftne. Elle Ferait Mieux d’être une influenceuse. Tu te faisais passer pour une rappeuse. It feels like you’re not turning anything on. “C’est pour ça que you ne sors pas ta musique”. But what I love most is the music that tells the story of the show, that it’s for something that doesn’t suit me. It seems that if it’s not a parfait from my eagle, if you don’t pronounce the words correctly, then I don’t need rhythm prend le dessusur sur le mutes or si le motes prennent le dessusur le rhythm. When you put on so much and it’s you who works as if you’re touching Netflix all day, it’s very nice. »

Well, the album is no problem. While maintaining that Cardi B, a Dominican taxi driver father and Trinidadian mother raised from poverty in the Bronx, is a European woman who knows what she wants, she is the charge of a new mission: to promote sa vie, sa famille et son héritage vers l’avant sans s’enfermer dans les pièges du Perfectionnisme or de la Critique. Alors qu’elle s’efforce de consolider son statut d’icône du rap, elle gère also les défis plus mortels, mais not moins majors, de la maternité et du mariage.

Cardi B’s house is the hottest thing this weekend. “This is the moment,” I told Los Angeles, “who and the people who live there in New Jersey are their children Culture (five years old) and Waves (two years old), as well as those that A tante, un a niece and four cousins ​​- sont rejointes par une famille encore plus nombreuse. This is the moment when Cardi sat on her mieux dans sa peau, tout le monde partageant la nourriture et la musique. ” Our faisons beaucoup de Queue de Bœuf, de Poisson Fritdit-el. Nous faisons beaucoup de pattes de crabe. Nous mangeons beaucoup de chèvre. “She is a Filipino girl who makes desserts based on manga, concentrated milk and lychee jelly, and that plate of food is not played by Cardi, but she is not anything special plus du-nom. La Kitchen, cependant, n’est pas son Domaine: ” You chose something I hate, the kitchen. Ça prend trop de mon temps. »

Cardi’s family is the fire of the game in songs in the house, meme if she prefers that she does not pass by. Le plus souvent, cependant, ils écooutent de la musique en espagnol. “ In the world, in the Dominican Republic, on the theme of merengue, typical and bachata. This is what I love ” There are plans to record an album in Spanish in the future. ” When I finished this album, I went to Porto Rico. ” says Cardi, who sees the reggaeton fair là-bas.

Cardi B’s preferences are dictated by humor. ” Si je me sens bien, si je suis avec ma famille, si je mange de la chèvre, je vais écouter du merengue, Anthony Santos or local Dominican artistsdit-el. If I’m being very humorous, it will probably be the oldest Shakira song or these new songs. ” Rocío Durcal, the legendary artist whom fans call the queen of rancheras, is one of her favorites: ” When I have a difficult period with men, I wait for you. “

Lorske Cardi is younger, she will be over 25 years old, a prophecy that will come true at a moment that seems inappropriate: she will get those of you after the outing.‘Invasion of personal space, as well as how to prepare for the tour. ” J’avais vraiment, vraiment peur. J’avais l’impression de laisser tomber tout le monde. My family. All this for me. »

She retired because of the culture house tournament. ” Mon bébé était si petit. Microbes, airplanes and everything new? Can you imagine a child on a tour bus? “She compared the first anniversary of motherhood in the TV game and the obstacle course in an old Nickelodeon special Legend of the Hidden Temple, but with two hours of sommeil. “ It’s my mistake in the air. The postpartum period is something I chose as something that cannot be explained. »

I demand that she be part of postpartum depression. ” Everything postpartum. If depression seems like a radical change “, dit-el. Lorsqu’elle is riding a wave in 2021 and has been a plus to keep herself afloat. He found repetition on a trip to Paris after the birth of his son Fils.

Lorsqu’elle est avec ses enfants, Cardi s’adonne à des plaisirs simple – les câliner aulit, les emenener à Target. Elle et Kulture for rendezvous in the gym and in the restaurant, as well as in the ensemble of temporary dance repetitions and sessions in the studio. ” My girl is a sacred pipette

dit-elle, admiration for the curiosity of culture. On dirait qu’elle asks several questions per minute. » The girl loves her piano songs, and Cardi’s two dancers (twins, like her daughters) do not participate in special cultural and kitchen classes, after starting classes for girls choosing routines on TikTok, select instructions from Cardi.

A wave of déjà vu in rap music performed by Cardi B. Musicians who prefer culture from their parents. Elle I love ” Influence “, who met them all in the vesta. More than anything else, Cardi’s take on kids’ favorite music is her take on Russian-American YouTube-nominated star Nastya and rap sensation That Girl Lay Lay. Elle voit en eux sa propre jeunesse: ” When you’re five years old, you don’t know that Barney is all about the day and the music of the Disney Channel. »

Despite the challenges that came with motherhood, Cardi didn’t change. Elle m’assure qu’une fois qu’elle est tombée enceinte de Kulture, Dieu l’a benie trois fois. Tout d’abord, she was a rich girl. The bathroom says: ” Well sung, you send a child at 25 years old, I am already at the age of 25, and you want the child to be a child.. Bathroom, I did a genre test and saw a girl. I’ll be your girl. “Bien qu’elle ait” toujours eu peur d’avoir des garçons “, this one with the Wave. ” C’est comme si c’était écrit. Coincident stars. Mes enfants sont les meilleures decisions that I will never accept. »
