Cardi B’s career is a testament to what can happen when talent and technology combine. The Bronx native parlayed social media stardom into global pop music acclaim by leveraging her personality, wit, and love of the culture birthed in her borough. Her viral Instagram moments, Love And Hip Hop confessionals, and mixtape hustle all led up to her mainstream debut album, Invasion Of Privacy, and after April 6, 2018, it was clear Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar was no gimmick.
Standing as Cardi B’s career peak thus far, Invasion Of Privacy received critical acclaim upon release. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album won the mother-of-two the Album Of The Year recognition at the 2019 BET Awards.
Additionally, she became the first solo woman to win Best Rap Album at the Grammy Awards that same year. Also up for the coveted Album Of The Year category, the trophy placed the chart-topper among the ranks of female emcees including Missy Elliot, Lil Kim, Eve, Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, and Salt-N-Pepa, all of whom have at least one golden gramophone.
Despite the massive success of her first offering, the 31-year-old has not rushed a follow-up. While it has been teased that the project is due this year, the “Bodak Yellow” rhymer has confirmed that she’s focused on her guest verses and likely won’t be giving us a full body of work by year’s end.
While Bardi Gang, rap fans, and the music industry at large await the second coming of Cardi B, she’s kept listeners fed with features across Hip-Hop, R&B, Pop, and Latin genres. With the ability to deliver top-tier verses in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, the rapper reaches multiple audiences with her messages of self-confidence, love, and heartbreak, evolving from rags to riches, and having the flyest threads.
This is not putting the diamond-certified rapper against her peers or collaborators, it is strictly Cardi Vs. Cardi. Considering lyrical content and wordplay, flow and delivery, impact and success, and overall enjoyment and entertainment, VIBE ranks Cardi B’s 34 feature verses (as of June 3, 2024) dropped after Invasion Of Privacy.
