Is Cardi B a terrible rapper?

[Hater Hearst Helmsley]

First part. Cop out. Her lane is rapping. She ain’t doing nothing different

Second part. 90% of the tracks on each album

That’s not a cop out. She has a lane for her music. Her a rapsody not in the same lane.

but what specifically makes her trash?
Bars?
Delivery?

 

[5th Letter]

I don’t think she’s terrible.

 

[Achewon87]

No...

 

[keemz]

drop bars if she aint terrible

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Don’t matter she don’t write them

 

[SheerExcellence]

cardi b wouldn’t be able to hold herself in a 90s style cypher, if that is the definition of “good rapper”

but when i hear her songs at the gym or in passing cars, it sounds perfectly fine to me. i wouldn’t call her a “bad rapper.”

i’ve never actually sat down and listened to a cardi album or anything like that tho

 

[Meeks]

She’s not terrible.She’s a great entertainer though like someone said above.
Her music is shit I bop to though because it’s good.
I think people also aren’t use to people with her accent in the industry when it comes to
female rappers but I’ve heard that shit all my life growing up in the Bronx so it’s my “normal”.

 

[Mr.LV]

Saweetie is a terrible rapper

 

[mryounggun]

No, there is nothing terrible about Cardi as a rapper.

 

[Mister B.]

She's not a rapper at all. She don't write her own shit.

 

[KillaCham]

Simple bar construction, elementary wordplay, barely switches up her flow, can't ride beats very well, her delivery/voice in general is jarring af. All that and she don't even write. I don't see how she's not terrible.

I forgot she’s Nicki’s enemy.

 

[Race Jones]

lmaooo imagine taking advice from funk flex on who’s hot and who’s not in 2021

 

[konceptjones]

Cant be a good rapper if someone is writing it and showing you how to perform it. She's a good entertainer tho.

This all day

 

[KillaCham]

Facts but that don't make her any better or worse.

Are yall mixing up rapper/entertainer with an emcee/MC?

I always thought a rapper was someone that just recited words over beats regardless of who wrote it for them
and emcees write their own raps and take pride in their craft n shit

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Flex a known hater but this particular topic he's right for the most part

I think it's fair to differentiate rapper from artist/writer, yeah.

 

[loud-ninja]

If she doesn't write her own stuff, I cant call her a lyricist. She does have a good flow. She is entertaining. Doesnt nake music for me though so I wouldnt buy her album. The topics are repetitive. I have heard it though and the production is really good.

If thats the case then no she aint a trash rapper IMO.

She damn sure aint no emcee tho

Cant stand flex lol
