Two years ago today, Cardi released “Drip” as a promotional single for her debut album. It was written by Cardi B, Quavo, Takeoff, Offset and Joshua Cross, with production handled by Cassius Jay and Nonstop Da Hitman.

BACKGROUND

The song was made available for digital download alongside the reveal of the album’s full track listing. The song’s beat was originally used for an unreleased Young Thug and Future song titled “Upscale” which also featured Quavo.

FINAL THOUGHTS

“Drip” received mixed reviews from music critics. Lyrically, the artists hit back at critics who have attacked them.

Aside from Cardi’s part in the song, it’s really of the few songs from “Invasion of Privacy,” that I really could’ve lived without.As much as I respect the Migos and Offset, (who was Cardi’s fiance) during that time, I just wasn’t feeling this song, and couldn’t really get into it.

While the song itself has gave some great captions, such as, “Came through drippin’,” “quick to drop a n*gga,” “is she a stripper, a rapper, or a singer,” and my personal favorite line, “you not my b*tch, then b*tch you are done!” While this was a promotional single and did fairly decent, it probably wasn’t the reaction that Cardi and the Migos were expecting from the audience. The only thing I could say about this song is that this really could’ve been a solo Cardi rap song.
