The amount of times I accidentally typed someone's score as 10 because I was looking at this fucking title, I swear. Clearly I caught myself, given the amount of 10s it
actually wound up with.
This track brims with energy and works as both an album opener and an insight into Cardi's incredible story. The urgency is palpable, she sounds
hungry. It's a treat to hear. But the problems lie in Cardi's flow - it ain't great, girls - and the cliches that weigh the lyrics down. It's fine, but she's done better.
R27, however, finds it to be "a great opener. Cardi is spitting bars like her life depends on it. The track also helps add some pathos and depth to the themes of money and success which Cardi frequently returns to throughout her solo material and features."
happiestgirl is not so sold. "I guess this makes a good album opener."
evilsin praises it as "so sinister and aggressive," must be an
RJF stan too then sis? Speaking of, "We love an origin story that’s well scripted and well acted," he says. The Favorite, in theaters now.
"Takes a while to get going doesn't it?" whispers
Solenciennes into
constantino's ear. Our resident Cypriot nods gravely. "It takes a while to get going, but it knocks after the beat drop eventually happens." On the topic of said drop,
Mirwais, a low scorer, says it sounds like "Cardi found this instrumental on someone named DJBigFatBeat’s YouTube page." I mean...not off-base, honestly.
Trouble in Paradise clicks and hollers, "Such a genius introduction for her debut. Also 'got enough bras to support me' is incredible."
"A banger," is
Raichu calls it. "Wisely sticks to the hip hop album-making principle of opening with a track that goes hard and showcases her bars."
johnny_tsunami says "We love an autobiographical bop," so maybe that explains who here has latched onto Sweet But Psycho. "Go off, Cardi," sways
Babyface, calling this "Her own ‘All Things Go’.
Subwaykid shriek-laughs "Get Up 10 Gets a 6" and we're going to move
right on to
Lost In Japan. stanning the honesty of it all. "Cardi following through on her threat to put a Louboutin where her neck at is still one of my favourite things in 2018. Those photos were ART."
And...that's it. That's what all
102 of you Dalmatians had to say about this track.
But that's okay...I think you'll have
plenty to say about the next elimination.
