Artistry

Influences

In Billboards "You Should Know" series, Cardi B said the first albums she ever purchased were by American entertainers Missy Elliott and Tweet, respectively.[8] She has credited Puerto Rican rapper Ivy Queen[235] and Jamaican dancehall artist Spice[236] as influences, as well as Beyoncé,[237] Lady Gaga,[238] Lil' Kim,[239] Madonna, and Selena.[240] She has mentioned Chicago drill music as an important influence. When asked about the initial direction for her music, Cardi B said in an interview, She also credits growing up in the South Bronx and real life experiences as influences for her songwriting; "I wouldn't be able to rap about the things that I rap about now [if I hadn't grown up there]."[14]

Musical style

Her first studio album, Invasion of Privacy, is primarily a hip hop record, which comprises elements of trap, Latin music, and R&B.[241] Consequence of Sound described her flow as "acrobatic and nimble."[242] AllMusic editor David Jeffries called Cardi B "a raw and aggressive rapper".[243] Stereogum called her voice "a full-bodied New Yawk nasal bleat, the sort of thing that you've heard if someone has ever told you that you stupid for taking too long at swiping your MetroCard." They continued to call her voice "an unabashedly loud and sexual fuck-you New York honk—that translates perfectly to rap."[244]

In a 2017 Complex article about her, the editor wrote "unapologetic does not begin to describe the totally unfiltered and sheer Cardi B-ness of Cardi B's personality. She's a hood chick who's not afraid to be hood no matter the setting. Cardi B is Cardi B 24/7, 365, this is why she resonates with people, and that same energy comes out in her music."[245] Her flow has been described as aggressive[246] In 2019, NME described her lyrics as "sexually free" performed with "rapid" flow,[120] and other publications have further described her lyrics as outspoken,[247] while her punchlines have been praised, by such publications as Pitchfork and The Source, as clever and quotable.[248] [249] She possesses a New York-Dominican accent.[250]

Cardi B has defended her musical content featuring sexually-charged lyrics—like most contemporary female rappers; she stated that the content "seems like that's what people want to hear", since she faced negative reactions after releasing her more emotional song, "Be Careful".[251] [252] She has declared, "[Drill music] is the type of artist I always wanted to be: I like to rap about the streets, and I like to rap about my pussy. I don't give a fuck about it."[253] She has stated that writing and performing songs about her personal life and relationships initially caused her a "weird and uncomfortable" feeling and shyness.[253]

Cardi B employs different vocal styles in her music; in "WAP" her vocal performance has been described as "throaty"[254] and "staccato",[255] while in "Up" she raps with alliteration, a tongue twister-run, and "some classically comedic Cardi" punch lines.[256]

Public image

Political statements

Cardi B identifies as a feminist.[288] The rapper has been called "unabashedly, directly political" and often uses social media to advocate for causes she believes in, such as gun control.[289] During the 2016 presidential primaries, she warned her fans of Donald Trump's immigration policies and encouraged them to vote for Senator Bernie Sanders.[290] [291] At the Grammy Awards in 2018, she appeared in a video along with Hillary Clinton to narrate a portion of Fire and Fury, Michael Wolff's insider's account of Trump's administration, and stated "Why am I even reading this shit? I can't believe this. I can't believe—this is how he really lives his life?"[292]

Early in 2018 she used her social media to demand transparency on tax policy, asking for detailed information on how her taxpayer dollars are being spent in New York state and criticizing the maintenance of its streets, prisons, and public transportation.[293] Cardi B endorsed Sanders once again in his second bid for the presidency in the 2020 United States presidential election, while praising U.S. Representative Tim Ryan.[294] She stated that one of the reasons for her endorsement is Sanders' long-time involvement in supporting underprivileged minorities and "people getting Medicare because he knows they can't afford it,"[295] while Politico argued that she "might be one of Bernie's most powerful 2020 allies."[296]

She has used her social pages to raise awareness for victims of police brutality, and has encouraged people to vote for mayors, judges and district attorneys in local elections.[297] In a conversation with Democratic candidate Joe Biden for Elle, they discussed Medicare, free college tuition, and racial equality.[298] According to a study published by The Hollywood Reporter, Cardi B ranked as the fifth most influential celebrity, and fourth among Generation Z, for the 2020 presidential election.[299]

She has praised President Franklin D. Roosevelt for advocating for the Social Security program and the New Deal project.[303] She said of Roosevelt, "he helped us get over the Depression, all while he was in a wheelchair. Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great—make America great again for real. He's the real 'Make America Great Again,' because if it wasn't for him, old people wouldn't even get Social Security."[304] Sanders has praised her for her "leading role" in calling attention to Social Security.[305]

Fashion

Cardi has a noted affinity for Christian Louboutin heels, a running theme in her song "Bodak Yellow". She has also mentioned her affinity for cheap, fast fashion brands stating "I don't care if it cost $20 or $15. If it looks good on me, it looks good on me".[306] During an interview in early 2017, Cardi B spoke on being rejected by some fashion designers.[307] Cardi wore vintage Thierry Mugler to the 2019 Grammy Awards, with an i-D article stating that the fashion house's "resurgence onto the fashion scene can almost single-handedly be attributed" to the Swarovski crystal-embroidered crinoline sheath gown she wore at the ceremony.[308]

Mugler's collaboration with Cardi B marked the second time in 25 years that the Paris house opened its archives to dress a celebrity, the first being Beyoncé for her 2009 concert tour.[308] W magazine credited the "WAP" music video for popularizing the Mugler bodysuit in the mainstream.[309] Cardi has acknowledged Mugler as one of the first designers to "take a major chance on [her]" for their fashion collaborations.[310]

Vogue, The Telegraph, Time, and Vibe have referred to her as a fashion icon.[311] [312] [313] [314] An article from Vogue noted she "is famous for her statement getups—whether she's rocking archival Mugler on the red carpet, or dripping in Chanel while sitting courtside at a basketball game."[315] Her over-the-top manicures, designed by nail artist Jenny Bui and studded with Swarovski crystals, has become a part of her signature look.[316] Editor Christian Allaire from the magazine in 2021 commented that her signature "bold" ensembles "create a spectacle" during fashion weeks.[317]

In 2018, she became the first female rapper in the US to appear on the cover of Vogue magazine. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz, the cover, one of four for the January 2019 issue that included Stella McCartney,[318] features her in a red and white Michael Kors dress and matching red Jimmy Choo shoes, while holding her daughter, Kulture.[319]

In 2019, the Council of Fashion Designers of America included her on their list of "28 Black Fashion Forces".[320] Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour commended her fashion sense, declaring that she "completely rethought [her] opinion of Cardi B's style" after the 2019 Met Gala, where the rapper wore a Thom Browne-designed burgundy gown that extends outward in concentric circles for about ten feet and was inspired by the female form.[321] [322]

Cardi B became the face of Balenciaga's ad campaign for the winter 2020 season. The campaign includes billboards in several international locations, such as the Louvre museum. Vogues Brooke Bobb commented, "This is Cardi's first campaign for a luxury fashion house, though she's definitely no stranger to the Parisian style scene", citing her floral printed Richard Quinn ensemble "that literally covered her from head to toe" and her being "a front row fixture" at high fashion shows, adding, "She and her stylist Kollin Carter have been wildly successful in carving out a much-needed space for Cardi within the fashion industry, and they've cultivated a personal style that is all her own while being inspiring to all".[323]

In 2020, Cardi B became the first female rapper to be awarded by the FN Achievement Awards when she won the Style Influencer of the Year award, which was presented to her by Christian Louboutin. In a press release for the awards show, she was called an "influence just about everything in pop culture—from music, fashion and style to social media, politics and even public service".[324] In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked her as the second most-stylish woman in music, behind Lady Gaga,[325] and GQ considered her "one of fashion's preeminent risk-takers."[326]

Impact

Cardi B has been referred to as the "Reigning Queen of Hip Hop" by multiple publications, including Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly, Omaha World-Herald, Black Enterprise, Newsweek, and The A.V. Club,[327] [328] and as the "Queen of Rap" by NME, Essence, Harper's Bazaar Malaysia, The Jakarta Post, Uproxx, iHeartRadio, Geo TV, Vanity Fair, Joe, Boston Herald, Refinery 29, France 24, and Nigerian media The Guardian, BBC News, and Daily Trust.[329] [120]

Spin staff credited her for opening "the table to a new generation of pop artists remaking American music in their own image and accents," as Cardi B "recognized that POC artists no longer need to pander or soften themselves in order to become household names."[330] Billboard editors stated that with "Bodak Yellow"'s commercial success, "she left an indelible mark on the summer of 2017, not only because she rewrote history, but she gave hope to the have nots...".[331] Several publications have credited "I Like It", the first Latin trap song to reach number one on the Hot 100, for introducing the "musical movement" to a mainstream, massive audience.[332] [333] Billboard Carl Lamarre considered "WAP"'s achievements "a clever Trojan horse for the myriad ways Cardi influences the culture with every move she makes."

The Wall Street Journals Neil Shah stated in 2020 that her breakthrough and success influenced "today's female-rap renaissance," while Genius staff credited her for "helping jumpstart a new wave of female hip-hop signings and promotion at labels,"[334] and NPR Music commented that the "renaissance" of the dynamism of women in rap grew "in enthusiasm and breadth" since Cardi's "first historic run" in 2017.[335] Similarly, Clover Hope's book The Motherlode (2021) stated that Invasion of Privacy "jump-started a new era for women rappers in which success felt much more tangible" as Cardi B "multiplied the wealth of talent and resurrected the idea that numerous women who controlled their own stories could dominate rap at once."[336]

The New Yorker has credited her for "changing a genre that has rarely allowed for more than one female superstar at a time."[337] Uproxx noted Cardi B for promoting up-and-coming female rappers; "[she is] choosing to use her position at the height of stardom to open doors for other women to flourish in hip-hop at a greater level than any since the Golden Era and 'Ladies First'," considering it "something of a departure from tradition; for the decade previous to Cardi's precipitous come-up, it seemed hip-hop had an unspoken, Highlander-esque rule in place regarding women."[338] Variety deemed her a "hip-hop icon",[339] and The Independent called her "the people's pop culture icon", writing that she "has become one of the most recognisable cultural figures of the past 10 years".[340]

NPR defined "Cardi B effect" as "a branding power rooted in specific authenticity, created and permeated by rapper Cardi B" and noticed that with her breakthrough, "brands finally started to become hip to [her] effect, noticing the cultural markers outside of the rap world that were proving it wasn't limited to clubs, concerts and radio."[341] Business magazine Inc. stated that her success "shows how social media changed everything we knew about traditional marketing and media", which no longer relies on a "well-thought marketing scheme or millions of dollars in advertising."[342] In 2019, a life-sized sculpture of her was on display at the Brooklyn Museum, as part of Spotify's RapCaviar "Pantheon".[343]

Bloomberg reported that her data bill helped to boost Ghana's GDP growth in 2019, after it was part of a concert tour.[344] She inspired the creation of the sitcom Partners in Rhyme, executively produced by MC Lyte about a young woman in high school who "aspires to be the next Cardi B."[345] P-Valley creator and executive producer Katori Hall cited her an inspiration for the TV series, and credited her for "helping prepare the public" for its storyline.[346] [347]

Several artists have cited Cardi B's work as an inspiration, including Rosalía,[348] Olivia Rodrigo,[349] Jazmine Sullivan,[350] Selena Gomez,[351] Blackpink,[352] Spice,[236] Greta Gerwig,[353] Nathy Peluso,[354] Rubi Rose,[355] María Becerra,[356] and Abigail Asante.[357] Cardi B has been credited for supporting and uniting female rappers in the industry,[358] [359] [360] with a writer from Uproxx considering her co-sign "the new Drake effect" for women in hip hop.

Controversies

I never had to fuck a DJ to play my songs."[440] Minaj also called Cardi B a "disgusting pig" for allegedly cyberbullying a guest caller on Minaj's show and unearthed posts calling dark-skinned black women "cockroaches", which she had defended earlier by saying that it is a derogatory term in the Bronx used for anyone being disrespectful.[441] Cardi B was on the cover of the 2019 spring fashion issue of Harper's Bazaar, which featured her in a Cinderella-themed photo shoot wearing a red gown and leaving a shoe behind.
