Cardi B released one album in 2018 which went 3x Platinum within a year. There's been no follow-up since, not even a mixtape!

Her label and team has been afraid to drop another album because if it fails to go Platinum then her whole stock crashes. These mainstream female rappers are like pyramid schemes. They have to keep up the image to extract as much revenue as possible.

Cardi's catalog is all singles since her debut album. She puts out very little music by hip-hop standards.

She had plenty of random hit singles after that album though. Like 6 of them and 2 were No 1.

The problem with hit singles is many artists team up with who's newly hot to give ppl what they want....

Then it ends up benefitting the new artist more than the established one.

She struck lightening in a bottle with her first album. Perfect combination of timing, putting out the right singles, working with the right writers, dropping before COVID and the shift in the industry/consumption of music.

She got extremely rich and famous off that album and can basically live off the success of it forever. Did anyone really think Cardi B was going to down as one of the better female rappers? :stopitslime: She not a spitter like that and the album dropped 6 years ago. She’ll release one more album and then continue to do fashion, movies and TV and tour her singles the rest of her life

Can’t lie she was on fire for awhile it’s offset fault all his drama fukk her up
that and her kids.

the crazy thing is that she had hits during that time, enough to at least drop something. It's gonna be tough to top the first record. Most don't do it. Especially after Wave was born she shoulda just went right back in, but the songs aren't hitting like the first batch of loosies.
