Tomorrow the Recording Academy will be making the announcements for the nominations for the 2019 Grammy show, and Cardi does have some potential songs that could get nominated for tomorrow!
Billboard has made some earlier predictions back in July of this year, that Please Me by Cardi and Bruno Mars could possibly be looking at a nomination for the “Reocrd of the Year” category. Another possible canididate for “Record of the Year,” would be “Money” which was another big record, though that came out at the end of last year it would still be eligible to make the mark. There’s also a great possibility that “Money,” can also get into the “Best Music Video” category.
Whether Cardi gets nominated or not, or takes home another Grammy this year, just know that 2020 will be a HUGE year for BardiGang! CB2 is coming and promotion is already starting, Fast and the Furious 9, another unknown movie appearancem, a POSSIBLE WORLD TOUR, and MUCH MORE!!!
Today, marks the One Year Anniversary for “Money”! The single was released on October 23rd of last year, and was the first solo song that Cardi released since the release of her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy.” The song was written by Cardi B, and produced by J. White Did It. Cardi has also since performed the song at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards, alongside the “Money Bag” instrumental. Its music video won Best Hip-Hop at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards.
On October 22, 2018 Cardi B announced that the single would be released the following Thursday. However, the song was released two days earlier due to a leak.
The single’s artwork features Cardi posing in gloves composed of gold watches and a gilded, chain-fringed hat.
On Billboard, the song peaked at #13 in the US & reached the top 40 in Belgium, Canada, Greece, Ireland, New Zealand & the UK. It sold 6M WW, was the best selling solo female rap song of 2018, won a VMA and BET Award and is eligible for 5X Platinum in the US.
From Rolling Stone, Jon Blistein commented “Money” “boasts a stomping yet simple beat built around spitfire trap drums and stark piano strikes. Cardi rides the beat with characteristic aplomb, switching flows with ease as she unravels an array of punchlines and another instantly memorable hook.” Carl Lamarre of Billboard opined the song “finds Cardi dashing back to her mixtape roots, flexing a steely flow over a thunderous beat.”Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote, “this is exactly the sort of song that Cardi B should be making right now. It’s tough and immediate, and it projects the same larger-than-life sneer that made Cardi sound like such a revelation on “Bodak Yellow” more than a year ago.”Stephen Kearse of Pitchfork deemed the track “familiar yet fun,” and added, “Cardi remains a direct and parsimonious writer, paring ideas down to their essence.”Complex listed the song among the week’s best releases, with editor Carolyn Bernucca praising the lyrics.
The production work on “Money” is hard-nosed, set in a minor key, definitely fueling her fire. Speaking of fire, Cardi B continues to be tough in her own right, eschewing being the least bit ladylike, and with a great intro line!
“Look, my bitches all bad, my n***as all real / I ride on this dick in some big tall heels.”
As always, Cardi is profane to the 9nth degree, not to mention chocked-full of confidence. Her flow is compelling, while her rhymes are familiar, but nothing ‘brand-new.’ She focuses on money, material, and sex, all rap clichés, but still in her own style and Cardi B way that we’ve grown to love her for!
