    This album is the trashiest thing I ever heard of. In no way shape or form is cardi even a rapper. She doesn’t write her raps. She is a fad. A tank. And a flop.

    I really don't like this album.
    Some of the sounds are cool but I think it's a shame that Cardi B doesn't write her raps and that she needs a ghostwriter.

    A rapper should write her raps!

    álbum péssimo, 0 flow, 0 aclamaçoes não compradas, 0 inovação, cardi b soma 0 dias como artista. iop é a prova que para fazer sucesso você nao precisa ter talento, e sim uma gravadora que pague muito bem para tocar oque ela chama de música, conhecido por mim como lixo sonoro.

    This album might be good for a 5 year old’s birthday party - but it definitely doesn’t claim her throne as the ”Queen of rap”. The only good tracks on this album are ”I Like It” and ”I Do” where SZA’s vocals saves the song.

    Every song and verse feels the same. At least with the reggaeton song (I Like It) and the pop attempts (Be Careful, Ring) the album feels like it isn't one really long song.

    As a music lover, I was very disappointed with this project. I respect her for trying, but this was just not it. The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me. This debut album wasAs a music lover, I was very disappointed with this project. I respect her for trying, but this was just not it. The lack of lyricism and flow, listening to this is almost unbearable. Her use of the n-word as a non black person is...disgraceful...to say the least. Her not even writing these songs also made what is supposed to be her body of work less enjoyable to me. This debut album was supposed to show off her artistry and talent as a rapper, however it just failed to do so. I expected so much more and I seem to not be the only one who agrees. This just did not live up to the expectations.
    Although I did find myself enjoying many of the beats on this album, and I consider that to be the one of the album's strong-suits. On songs such as "I Like It" , "Bartier Cardi", and "Money" I was completely enthralled with the beat and production. However, these tend to be overshadowed by the lack of bars and repetitive lyrics. I found it hard to be able to fully enjoy these songs with the deplorable lyrics. Some artists can get away with having not so in-depth or influential lyrics, but when it comes to rap artists, having great flows and bars is the name of the game. I feel as if many of her fans are blinded by Cardi's fun personality, and can't really see through the cracks. Cardi just simply falls short in the lyricism department, and that's surprising coming from the fact that she has dozens of writers (including ghost-writers) for her songs, which is something else her fans are blind sighted to. I don't even have the energy to start talking about some of the other things her fans choose not to see, such as the homophobic, transphobic, and racist comments she's made recently. But this is a review for her album, not for her character.
    So final thoughts: Could've been so much better. Lyricism is this albums downfall, which is a huge no-no for rap albums. Great production on some of the songs, but many missed opportunities to make this a true work of art.
    I'd like to see her try again though, maybe writing her own raps and not only making songs just for money and chart placements. :)

    Cardi B is merely the latest to appear into the mainstream, a position she is sure to occupy for some time, and with enough potential showing on her debut release to give hope to anyone listening that she can only get better from here.
