But in the latest today, Wow, it is September eighteenth,
as I mentioned, and Cardi B's sophomore album, am I
the Drama is set to release tomorrow September nineteenth. It's
(02:20):
been about seven or eight years since Cardi B has
put out an album.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Let me see what did so?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Cardi B released Invasion of Privacy April six, twenty eighteen. Wow,
that was some time ago. And she has been you know,
she's been on features. Cardi B had an amazing feature
run with you know her hopping on FNF the you know,
the Glorrilla situation. Like, she's had a pretty great feature run.
She's also dropped some singles Up Wop, which those two
(02:51):
singles huge singles, have been a topic of conversation and
even some pushback for Carti because you know, the fans
and the haters.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
It's a little to both the fans and.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
The haters, you know, order people with valid criticism, right
brought up the fact that up and Wop were released
so long ago.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Why is this being put on the album? But this
is something that people do. People do it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
All the time where you have singles that have been
out that have done so well and you put it
on the album also too, Cardi B expressed to her
fians that's what they want. This will be the last
and only time I'm gonna address this wop and up
or tour my biggest songs. My fans have been asking
me to put them on an album, and people search
for them on IOP all the time. They deserve a home.
(03:38):
I let haters make me not submit wop for the Grammys,
and at this point, I'm giving my fans.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What they want.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
These two songs don't even count for the first week sales.
So what are y'all trying to cry about? Do y'all
say anything when all these artists pull out their little
tricks and ponies to sell out question Mark exactly? Now,
let them eat Kke go cry about it. So, yes,
am I the drama. It's finally coming. It'll be twenty
two tracks. I will tell you guys that. Cardi B
(04:03):
is also dropping a music video for a song called
Safe that she has with Kaylanie. She just teased that
on her Instagram, so it's given roll out in Cardi fashion.
Like the videos are coming. She's been doing all the things.
I just saw a video that patients Foster from her
team posted where they got the door dashers out and
about on the bikes delivering things from the Cardi b
(04:24):
bodega on door dash.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's rollout time. It's about that time. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
There's a lot of you know, conversation right now around
this album for Cardi, not only because it's been so
long since she's put out an album, but I think.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
People want to know what she's going to talk about.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
If you think about the last time Cardi put out
an album, which was Invasion of Privacy, she had hits
like be Careful with Me where she talked about the
cheating and she warned Offset and you know other music.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
On there as well.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Right and now here we are, all these years later,
she's going through a divorceal Offset. Currently, she is pregnant
with her fourth child by her boyfriend Stefan Diggs, a
new relationship. She just had a baby last year, her
baby Blossom off sets daughter and added to you know,
their family, even though they're.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Not together, they're still family because they got kids together.
But added to, you know, there's been.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
A lot of change and a lot of new things
in Carti's life. You hear Carti talking a lot now about,
you know, mentally where she's at. I know, we had
patients on the Breakfast Club and she talks about the
time that Carti took off of during her album and
she was supposed to do like a whole like movie
situation with Paramount and you know, just needing the mental
(05:35):
time to just be okay and even know one to
prioritize that I think at this point in her career
is important. But it shows you the growth of where
she came from and where she is right now. But
people want to know what is the subject matter? What
are we going to get now? Carti has said, you know,
when she sat down and talked to Kelly Rowland, she
talked a little bit about not making the album too angry,
shit want to go in too bad because when she
(05:58):
say things, they stick now. Interestingly enough, young Thug who's
also been going through a ton of things in the
last couple of weeks. He was supposed to drop an
album today as well, and you know, and I don't
think that there would have been anything wrong if he
had dropped the album, but he's decided not to, so
he was supposed to drop his album. You I Scottie,
(06:20):
I know I'm saying that wrong. No, I'm saying that wrong, Okay,
But he was supposed to drop that album. That album
has been anticipated since he's since his release from prison
after you know, fighting one of the longest cases in
Georgia State history, and he decided to push the date. Now,
(06:40):
the rollout for Young Thug has been a lot different
than I'm sure he expected. We went through jail calls,
we went through, you know, having to see him publicly
apologize to Marite of scientists for some of them calls,
falling out with friends. Even further, him sitting down with
you know, Big Bank, you know, and out of Atlanta
to sit down interview that he did. That we talked
about a lot here on the podcast. It's been a
(07:03):
lot different than I'm sure he thought it would go.
But to be honest with you, if Thug does what
he needs to do with this music and puts a
lot of you know, because you can't.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The interview was long.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's about two hours long with a Bank but at
the same time, and the show is called Perspectives with
Big Bank. That's the show that Young Thuck he wanted
to call him offset that Young Thuck set down with.
But yes, there's a lot that he can talk about.
There's a lot that he can involve divulge into.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So same thing there.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
It's gonna be pretty interesting to see kind of what
he decides to get into and what he decides to
stay away from. He dropped one track talking about people
snitching and who's the snitch and you know, all the things,
and it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
One of my favorite. Honestly, I love.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Young Thug, I love his love his music, but I
feel like, you know, hot take here, I don't know,
I feel like he needs to I mean, and he
said this, it's not even a hot take.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
He said it in an interview with Bank.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
He don't got his people around him, you know, no
baby right now, no gunna. His creative process seems to
be very much so inspired by the people around him,
and you know what they're experiencing and what they're going through,
and you know, as brothers and friends, what they're overcoming,
and he doesn't have that anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
But I think there's still a story to tell.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
When I watched his interview, I feel like, you know,
it humanized him, but I think one of the things
that I realized in real time is that a lot
of our men in the black community who grow up
a certain way. So you grow up in the streets,
you grow up having to just like figure things out,
not really having too much options and being everybody's option.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
You know, you just you. You.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You suppress things that you don't even know you're suppressing,
and you don't know you're suppressing them because you're not
used to dealing with them in the first place. So
if he has come and evolved from that time when
in real time he realized he was hearty, he said
it in interview. This is the first time I ever
even thought about that. That's take a listen, not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Thinking about because you don't got between, Bro, don't got
my friends, don't why be with everyday? I don't got
no more bro, And I ain't losing to the tragic
on now I lost the betray him. Bro, You signing
that one piece of paper, signing your and this is
on this one piece of paper could get me a
life setting Like what come on, bro, I get a
light sending all this piece of paper you signed up Brouse.
(09:15):
You're trying to get home fans or you're just trying
to get to it or you're just doing a certain thing, Bro,
and you already betrayed with O brah a piece of paper,
A piece of paper.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
In all this, he men, Bro, we brought us.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Ain't any world making me go.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Bro coming from that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
And I don't know how much of the music was
already made, but I hope that there are some things
that have been recorded within this little small time period
since then, because I think we'll get to the real,
like feel it in your chest type of music, you
know what I mean. And I want that for thought
because what I've heard from him so far hasn't been that.
It's been throwaways and I and I am a proponent
(09:53):
of talent. I'm a propon I love like I think
Young Thug is one of the best out of the
set to do it. And I know he falls on
the shoulders of you know, a Future and the Entrezy
thousand and you know all these people. But I think
he's a superstar. I think he has a call following.
I think he is.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
He's a rock star. He's a rap rock star.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
But I do think right now life is life and
his mentor's all over the place, and the music is
just not it's not sticking.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
But I think if he digs deep he could do that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So he's come out and said he's not gonna drop
the same Dans Carti. He's gonna move his release date
to the following Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
He tweeted about it.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
He said, y'all know I wasn't dropping Friday. It's a
lady's day with a red heart. Do yr shit, Cardi B.
He editor, of course, I love to see that, and
she responded and said, and when you come, you better step.
Love to see it, love to hear it. I don't know, man,
I just for artists like Young Thug. I really want
(10:53):
him to be able to evolve and grow through all
of this. But I also think, if I'm being honest,
how much of what he's been able to accomplish has
been because of the things that we glorify that we're
now telling him we want him to grow from. So
what is the content? What is the substance? What is
the subject matter? He has to find himself all over again.
(11:14):
But we'll be tuned in his new music dropping Friday.
You know, we'll be tuned in seeing what's going on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
You know, Cardi B.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
He has went from a married woman to a divorced
woman to expecting.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
A new baby.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Young Thug no longer dropping on Friday. But you know
Young Thug has been, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Fighting for his life. Literally was going to spend the
rest of his life in jail.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Released, comes home, has to disown a lot of his friends,
you know, just starting from nothing all over again. Two
artists who are kind of starting at ground zero at
different aspects of their life dropping music. Thug is going
(11:55):
to push the next Friday CARDI will be this weekend.
