CARDI B: Opened Doors for Other Women in Hip-Hop
Written by KingCnote on October 25, 2019
Cardi B says she opened doors for other women in the industry.
In a new interview promoting Netflix’s Rhythm and Flow, Cardi was asked if she finds it hard to evaluate female contestants on the show. She thinks it’s a lot easier for female artists to sign now, because before her, the only female MCs who were getting deals were established names. She says now executives are signing ladies as long as they can rap and have a small following, just so they don’t miss out on the next big thing.
In the same conversation, T.I. suggested it’s Cardi’s personality that really helped her break through. Before Cardi, Tip says, “most women when they came out were extremely mysterious, you hardly heard them talk.”
