Happy Cardi B'Eve

Everyone brace themselves for #takes, because Cardi's debut album drops tonight. Are there be bangers? How does this affect Women In Rap? Do Women In Rap Have A Moral Obligation To askjdfha;sldf, oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I passed out just from imagining these pieces. brb, gotta go listen to "Lick" to clear my brain/cleanse my soul. [Cardi B Feat. Offset "Lick" (WSHH Exclusive - Official Music Video)]( Cardi B Feat. Offset "Lick" - Have you ever heard of something cooler than a London soccer collective comprised entirely of women creatives??? [Romance FC]( is the real freakin' deal, and they just did a Nike collab so you know I'm not lying to you. We talked to the team's founder and guess the fuck what? She's obviously one of the coolest/smartest people on Earth. - [Remember Sports]( formerly known as just Sports, have a new (perhaps more SEO-friendly) name and a really great new record. We went down to Philly to talk to the under appreciated pop punk superstars about reuniting and making good-ass music. - Do you already know your sun, moon, rising, eneagram, Myers-Briggs, and Universal Tao? Well then might I suggest [numerology]( as your next endeavor into the mystical-adjacent. If you don't take my word on it, fine. Just know that Beyoncé and JAY-Z buy into it and if it's good enough for them you're lucky you've even heard of it. - [Polyvore got bought by SSENSE]( today, which I think means a lot to people who are more sartorially inclined than myself. The only thing I know about Polyvore is that Tumblr girls circa 2013 used it to design outfits they'd wear on a date with [any given member of One Direction.]( - Bob Dylan flipped the pronouns and sang "He's Funny That Way" for a project that's making gender-flipped, queer versions of [classic love songs.]( St. Vincent and Kesha also did covers. Overall, v good project. - Is it a coincidence that yesterday I told Coworker Ben that Lil Skies is cute and then today he put "Welcome To The Rodeo" on the rap list? I think not. I'm an influencer, a force driving the culture, always on the lookout for hot new tracks. Anyway, that song and nine more are what Ben has declared as the [best new rap songs]( right now. I believe him mostly because he gets most of his recs from me, the original rap genius. sometimes I can't think of a good image to end these on, but today I found a genre of gif called "realflow" and I think you guys'll be seeing a lot of them in the future [SHOP NOW]( [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Instagram]( [Youtube]( [Tumblr]( [Snapchat]( © 2018 The FADER | All rights reserved.
