Cardi B Takes a Stand: Calls Out Rappers for Ruining Club Vibes with Sad Songs
Cardi B has never been one to hold back her thoughts, and this time, she’s addressing the current state of hip-hop and the club scene. During an early morning Instagram Live session, Cardi spoke candidly about how she misses the energy of the club and how today’s music lacks the vibe that once made clubs electric.
Cardi’s Club Critique
Cardi reminisced about her days as a dancer and lamented how current hip-hop is missing the high-energy, turn-up tracks that used to dominate clubs. According to her, today’s rappers are leaning too much into slow, melancholic beats and depressing lyrics. She explained:
“I feel like nowadays, they’re making music with this type of beat that is just so depressing. All these rappers nowadays wanna die in their songs.”
She didn’t stop there, calling out how the overuse of weed and lean (a recreational drug mix) is influencing the creative process, leading to a flood of sluggish tracks that kill the vibe on the dance floor.
Cardi Wants Change
Cardi passionately called for a return to the days when club music was all about high energy and fun:
“I wanna make music that turns the club up. That’s what’s missing.”
She even encouraged herself to lead the charge, reminding fans that she came from the club scene and knows exactly what it takes to get people moving.
Social Media Backlash
As expected, Cardi’s bold comments sparked controversy on social media. Some criticized her for the way she worded her thoughts, while others accused her of being insensitive by saying rappers “wanna die” in their music. However, Cardi was quick to respond:
“I just want a balance. Sorry if I worded things wrong. I just love music that drops hard and turns the club up.”
She clarified her point further by citing tracks like Meek Mill’s Dreams and Nightmares and Tee Grizzley’s First Day Out as examples of music that balances storytelling with energy.
The Bigger Picture
Cardi’s comments aren’t new in the hip-hop world. Artists like T-Pain and even Dr. Dre have previously criticized the monotony of modern rap. Cardi’s frustration highlights a broader conversation about the direction of hip-hop and how it reflects cultural trends.
With her history of creating club bangers like Bodak Yellow and I Like It, Cardi has proven she knows how to energize the dance floor. Whether or not she’ll take her own advice and drop another club anthem remains to be seen.
What are your thoughts on Cardi’s take? Do you miss the days of high-energy club bangers, or do you enjoy the current vibe of hip-hop? Let us know in the comments!
