Cardi B, American Rapper

Cardi B is an American rapper, songwriter, television personality, and actress. Born and raised in The Bronx, New York City, she first attracted attention for discussing her career as a stripper on social media. She released her debut single, "Bodak Yellow", in June 2017, which peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making her the second female rapper to top the chart with a solo single (after Lauryn Hill in 1998), as well as the first artist of Dominican descent to do so. Cardi's debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy (2018), debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, broke several streaming records, and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Cardi B has been nominated for 10 Grammy Awards, winning one for Best Rap Album for Invasion of Privacy.

Early life

Belcalis Almanzar was born on October 11, 1992, in The Bronx borough of New York City. She is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent. Many sources report her birth year as 1993, but Cardi B has stated that she used a fake ID to sign up for Facebook when she was 16, and thus her birth year on the social networking site is 1992. She has an older sister, Hennessy Carolina. Almanzar attended Renaissance High School for Musical Theater & Technology, a public school in the Castle Hill neighborhood of The Bronx.

Saying this as an Irish person since the new Hozier album just came out and there are lyrics in Irish; it’s Irish or Gaeilge (pronounced “gwhale-ga” or “gale-ga” depending on region), not Gaelic or Celtic or any other name people come up with.

It’s just a normal language that people speak in their everyday life. We learn it in school in the republic. People like myself are bilingual in Irish and English. It’s not a “fairy aesthetic cottage core leprechaun” language.

Please respect it. Our language is a touchy subject seen as how England tried to erase it by forcing English on us and severely punishing those who spoke Irish.

At the same time that does NOT mean it is a dead language. Our (in the republic) road and safety signs are in both Irish and English, same with legal documents. Our politicians speak it, and we are trying to preserve the language!

Anyways enjoy the album!

i love the…. almost horror aspects of this album. all the references to ghosts and death…. and sonically, the unexpected shrieking in WAOLOM and the banging and screaming during “old habits die screaming” and even the way the tension subtly builds across the sixteen tracks and by the end you’re so stressed and shaken it’s like! losing your sense of self and feeling like you’ve become a monster is horror. and i’m sooooo glad she leaned into it

#the first time i listened to the album i was so SPOOKED by the end. and it was AWESOME #the first five songs i was like okay word heartbreak album! and then WAOLOM came on and i was like HOLY SHIT?????? #and everything got INSANE from tbere #and just kept building and building!!!!!!!! #literally just like a horror movie. it was fucking fantastic #ttpd #random thoughts with grace
