I feel like I answered this question like a hundred times. I've been on a run, honey. What inspired bongos? I feel like I answered this question like a hundred times. I've been on a run, honey. Well, always the beat. You know what I'm saying? Like at first, it's always like you hear the beat and it's like, oh, I like this beat. Like, I really like this beat. It's funk, but it kind of reminds me of Dembow.

Definitely Dembow. It reminds me of Dembow, but it's really funk. Like technically it's funk. Like technically is funk. So, um, what is them bowl? You know, the Dominican uptown, you know, like, you know, I'll find a knock on that. I'll take you. You, you be outside. You'll be outside. You don't be outside.

You don't be outside. I'll be in the house. I got to take you outside. But that's the style of music. Yes. It's not a music. It's a style of music. It's a style of outside. I'll be in the house. I got to take you outside.

But that's a style of music. Yeah, it's a style of music. It's a Dominican style of music. But like technically really is funk. But I just love the beat. I start working on the beat. I mean, I start working on the song. But there's like a lot of empty spaces.

There's a lot of empty spaces.'s a lot of empty spaces i try to fill the empty spaces like you know like just me rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping and it just felt like a long ass song like they just needed dynamic so me and my team like my team wanted to go like more like latin artists and i was like i hear megan yeah i hear megan i hear megan on it they're like really you don't see like you see this like like, like more Latin? I'm like, no, I see Megan. And then like exactly what I was like hearing in my head, I sent her the song. Cut the cameras. Exactly what I was envisioning in my head. Like when she, like when she, I got her like verse back. It was like, you see, this is what I was envisioning and it just

made sense were you scared the team up with Megan again cause WAP was such a massive record oh yeah of course of course

like that's why I haven't like I definitely but I feel like this was like good and um like when she sent the

the the her verse I was like oh I feel like this is, oh, I feel like this is a super, I feel like this is a good rap contender. Right, right, right. Yeah. Do you feel like too much pressure? Everybody asking you to do your second album.

You put out these verses and you're killing these verses. You lighten these verses up. But everybody keeps saying, I love it, but where's the album? I love it, but where's the album? Oh, yes. Or you put too much pressure on yourself? I do put a lot of pressure on myself. Like, I really, really do.

Like, let me tell you something. Like, I just be feeling like I don't like nothing. I hear, I feel like I listen, like, like 40 beats. Is it because everything sound the same? I don't know if it's because everything sound the same or every, like, it's like sometimes everything sound the same. And then, like, when it's too different, it's like, all right, like when it's too different it's like all right bitch that's too different for me like that is just too different so i don't know what i'll be looking for what i'll be looking for i don't know what it is

yeah but like once like i something catch my eye and i really like no not my eye bitch my sound on my ears right but even like i like it like that they said you didn't love it love it and that became one of the biggest records ever. Huge record. Yeah. I mean, I do take risks. Like, I do take risks. But I don't know.

It's just like a lot of pressure on the bitch. But I feel confident. I have a lot of songs. Y'all could come by anytime. Y'all could hear something. And that's another thing, too. Like, I'm a Libra. I be feeling like I need everybody's opinion.

Like, what you think? What you think? What you think? And that kind of be driving me crazy, too. But like, I don't know why I be needing thing, too. Like, I'm a Libra. I be feeling like I need, like, everybody's, like, opinion. Like, what you think? What you think? What you think? And that kind of be driving me crazy, too. But, like, I don't know why I be needing it, though. So what was the mentality when you was making, like, Gangsta Bitch 1 and 2 back in the day? Like, what do you think changed now? Just success?

I mean, there wasn't no mentality. You know what I'm saying? Like, it just wasn't no mentality. It was just, like, me, like, saying what I want to do and everything. But, like, I don't know. Like, I don't know. Is it because I'm older? Or I don't know. Is it was just like me like saying what i want to do and everything but like i don't know like i don't know is it because i'm older or i don't know is it because like expectation expectations i don't know like it's just like this is like a a job to me now like it's like and and i just i just don't like nothing yeah is it fun is it still fun it when i find like something that i like when it's something that i like it still fun?

When I find something that I like, when it's something that I like, it's fun. But then sometimes, even when I like something and people don't like it, it doesn't become fun. It's like, damn, I was really vibing with this shit. And it's like, I don't like it now. Now it's not fun. Now I'm mad. But people don't like every,

it's like they're gonna find something wrong with whatever so it don't matter but i just gotta make sense to you let me ask you this is it pressure being because it's a lot of women in rap right now it's the verses when you first came out yeah um it's a lot of women is it pressure also on you to to drop music you know like he because he asked pressure about you know what you like and you know is it more pressure because it's so many more women now like I don't really drop in here and all the time like but it's a lot of y'all now which is great but for y'all it's like okay we got this we we got that. Is that pressure? It being so many women in rap now?

No, not really. Great. Like, to me, not really, because it's like, I have my own sound. And, like, it's like, I cannot sound like somebody else. Like, it's like, I'm never going to do their type of music, because that's just not my sound. Like, even when, like, for example, right? Like, it's like, I do sometimes drill music. Like, I could go to that. But it's like, that's not really me.

So, it's like, I'm not going to feel pressure. Like, it's like, oh. Talk to the mic, Cardi. I know your stomach hurting, but you just talk to the mic. You got to lean in. Sorry. Sorry, my bad. Sorry.

No, it's not really, like, it's not pressure like the girls. It's pressure like the expectations are on me. Yeah. Okay. So that's just how I feel for me. I always felt like this is the thing, though, right? I always worked around a lot of bitches. Even in the strip club, right?

There's all type of flavor ass bitches. And there was a point when I was a stripper that I only had titties and no ass. But I just know that I was unique. I just know I was a unique-ass bitch. So it's like, there's bitches. They thick. They skinny. They got big titties.

Some bitches is Amazon. Some bitches is shorter. And it's like, I just know I'm that. So it's like, I was going to get money regardless. I don't give a fuck. How many bitches is in this bitch, bitch? I'm going to get something regardless. I don't give a fuck. Right. How many bitches is in this bitch, bitch? I'm going to get something. And that's just how I feel like, that's how I feel like now.

Like, I'm so used to, like, working with, like, a lot of women. Like, I never, like, been, like, in an environment that's, like, I'm kind of, like, the only one. And I always, I always knew this. I always knew this. I always knew that after me, there was going to be more girls. Yeah. I know it wasn't going to just end with me. Because if I made it, I know there's going to be more bitches that's going to make it.

And the internet and everything. I already saw this. I saw this back in, I don't know, 2017. I saw this. But you back in, like, I don't know, like, 2017. I saw this. But you're also doing something that a lot of people didn't do when you were coming up. You'll find the hot new person or a young artist, and you'll give them the opportunity and give them a verse. Yeah. Which a lot of people didn't do.

And I was going to ask. That was something that Jay and Drake did great. I think I say Cardi did that for female rock. Yeah, absolutely. I was going to ask, does the competition fuel you? And it can be friendly competition. I mean, every time you get on a verse or you get on a record with somebody, is that the way you think?

Like, oh, I got to eat her. You know what I mean? Pause. God damn. I don't really feel like I got to eat. I don't really feel like I got to eat. Like, all right, for example, right? Like, it's like, if I have a song, right?

And, like, if I have a song, and? And if I have a song, and then you send me your verse, and you rap me your ass off, I'm still not changing my verse. I'm not changing it because I feel like this is what I'm going for. This is what I'm thinking. However, I don't want to also never ruin nobody else's song or anything. But people do it all the time. We've heard, I think Nas said he changed the verse when he got a verse back and you hear it all the time so you never said nah i gotta make sure i'm because it's competition it's friendly competition ain't

no you know yeah yeah but i i don't know i because you've been going crazy recently the last six records you put out you've been been going like somebody was playing with you. Who's been your favorite female rapper to collaborate with? I really like them all. I really like them all. And every song that I got on, I got on it because I just really, really, really, really like that song. I love the song. And I feel like I can hear myself on it.

There's a lot of there's a lot of songs like i get songs sent to me all the time but i feel like it's like some songs i just feel like i feel like i can't do nothing for the song like it's like i don't feel like i could do like a verse that like i'm like um confident in so it's just like and i just be like no and it's like i feel like the song is great so i don't even want to like yeah like ruin it you just say you you drill ancient style what's that a nod what's that one song that she got with nod it's the girl she go last and i told you oh my god that song is so crazy i i heard yeah that is so crazy. I was like, and that's my style.

That's my tempo. Because some tempos, I just cannot keep up. It's like, you know, when I first heard Munch and everything? Yeah. I love the song. I love the beat and everything. And then I was going to, I was like, you know, doing the remix and everything. They said you did a verse, right?

Yeah, I did a verse. But it's like, I felt like I was spiting the fucking beat. Like, bitch, I can't breathe. right yeah i did a verse but it's like i feel like i i feel like i was fighting the beat like i can't breathe i'm well mended like the beat was just the beat just was there and i was like listen i don't want to up the song yeah because you gotta eat on much like i gotta eat yo relax i get it i get it but like i was windmilling and it's like if i can keep up with something like it's like i'm not going to play myself. And I don't want to ruin it. You know when somebody get on a song, and it's like,

bitch, you really fucked this song up. Get the fuck out of here. Get that bitch out of here now. Right. I like how you fucked up Tomorrow. Killed Tomorrow. Oh, yeah. Y'all was two in pocket on that.

It was crazy. Killed Tomorrow. I love. I love. Glorilla? I love Glorilla. She remind me of my best friend. Yeah.

I love her. I love her. I feel my best friend. Yeah. I love her. I love her. I feel like... Cool. Yeah, I feel like I got to go. Do you think the label makes you do records that you may not necessarily want to do? Nobody can make me do shit. Okay.

People can give me recommendations and everything, but it's like nobody can make me do anything. I will try something. I will try something like I will try something. And when I say like I will try something, it's like when they want me to like to like, you know, be a little bit more like, you know, like more feminine or more like, I don't know, like mainstream type of stuff. Because like that's just not really be my vibe like that. But I know I can make me do shit. I was going to ask, you know, you mentioned when you're working in a strip club, do people look at you as the old Cardi all the time? Because you got so many friends and you were so many people before the huge rap success.

Sometimes you got to check somebody and be like, look, I'm not that old bitch from back then. I'm not that same person. I feel like the people that know me know that I haven't really changed. I feel like I could call my friends right now and be like, like the people that know me know that I haven't really changed. Like, like I feel like I could call my friends right now. I was like, girl, bye. I feel like I haven't like really changed like that way, but I feel like to the world. I feel like to the world, like I wonder if people have seen that change. I feel like I changed.

I'm like more like chill now. Like I could like back then I could be all day cussing everybody out, but it's like, I just have like backed away more and I got kids and shit and I'm 30 like yeah I'm 30 like by five o'clock I need a little nap that's one thing that's one thing I say that it looks like you love it's like you know you see so many people with with their kids right but you are like a mom's mom right I'll see Cardi at the amusement park with the kids getting on rides. I see Cardi making the kids lunch. I see Cardi, you know, doing things that you usually don't see people do. Why are you so like that with your kids?

Because, I mean, you're rich. You got help. You got people that can do that. But you do it. Because, like I said, you just have to. Listen, you can have a village in your house, right? Like I said, I have all the Dominicans in my house. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

James Brown said, say it loud! And the kids said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black.

And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Right. I got them all, but it's like your kids be wanting you

they want you they don't want they don't want your aunt to take them to school they don't want nothing they want mom and dad to take them to school they want like

they want to chill with mom and dad they want to play with mom and dad so it's just like you have to do it yourself and then like you just have to do it

you gotta get used to a rhythm like it's like my family a lot of them live with me, but they love to be outside. So when they do vacation and everything, and it's like I'm by myself with the kids, it's like, damn, I don't really know what they're going to want to eat and everything. So I got to get used to that.

And I really just naturally like it. I like this. If I could just do this forever, I would. But a bitch gotta work is that you think that's the biggest change that has happened in your life over the last five years the kids hell yeah okay just motherhood period yeah because it's like i'll be feeling like like i got a lot to lose before like fuck yeah i'm fuck i'm diving in i lose every at all yeah i lose it all but i'm gonna curse you out you out, bitch. How is it being a boss with everybody

but then when your kids, they boss you around? I seen some video and your kids was talking to you crazy. There's nothing you can do when your kids talk to you crazy. You just got to take it. I know. Watch your mouth. You believe in pop-pop and the kids? Or no? You believe in physical discipline for your kids?

Light, though. Light. Real light. Light, you know what I'm saying? But, like, not, like... Gentle parenting sometimes? Gentle parenting, I mean, it depends. Because I feel like I'm a gentle parent, but then there's that, you know, the Hellman's

gentle parent. Mm-hmm. Hellman's gentle parent. And they, like, they overboard, like, gentle parents. Hellman's gentle parents. And they like, they overboard like gentle parenting. Some kids just, I just believe they're like,

you don't have to be like abusive or anything. But it's like, you gotta like be assertive because like, like not everybody kid is like everybody kid. Like my son bad as fuck.

I got proof, he bad. I got proof. I got proof he bad. got proof I got proof he bad how old is he he just turned two yeah he don't know no better what I show you videos he bad as hell yeah he bad even also be like damn I don't want my kids yeah and I knew it too that's why I was scared to have a boy because I was like I knew it too it could be terrible tools though. Yeah. He was one. He just turned two. How you bad at one? So what do you do to discipline him?

Like what is he afraid of? He's not afraid of nothing. Damn. That's the problem. You can take from him or take his tablet or something. Nothing? No, he don't care about nothing. Like even if you take it, it's like, all right.

Don't mess with today then. Why do you let the comments get to you so much body just on social media and just like everything I don't know because it's like bitch I know you not

fucking talking that's the thing that like the shit that get me mad is that like cause it's like bitch why are you talking though like what are you

why are you talking yeah why are you talking like it's like like it you talking like it's like like it's like like it's like you know like i don't know like when i was like in like in school or anything like i used to cut ass like i used to fight no no no like i used to like really rose rose like i like like it's like it's not even like roasting bitches it was like i could go toe-to-toe with with uh with like It was just things. So it's like me, I'm the type of person that I could take one look,

one look at you, and I got like 10 jokes lined the fuck up. So it's just like when people mess with me, it's like, yo, I could really, really mess with you. You want to mess my day up, bitch? I will mess your fucking whole three weeks up. I will stay embedded in your head. So it's just like the fact that I have to restrain myself it frustrates me it really frustrates me so when you put out projects right when you put out music do you go through the comments to see what people are saying

yeah yeah yeah yeah because sometimes it's like bitch no but you gotta also know what people like but they're never gonna give you a real critique though because they just mad that you body and you're super successful so how many people gonna really be like oh i fuck this right how many people gonna really give it up on social media yeah you know what i'll be feeling i'll be feeling like a lot of people hate to admit that they like me and like a lot of people are afraid to say that they like me because when people say that they like me, they get attacked.
