Charlamagne Tha God gave Cardi B a nice-sized compliment while speaking on the Its Up There Podcast.
The Breakfast Club host basically said that Cardi did for female rappers what Jay-Z and Drake did, and that's put a spotlight on a lot of new artists. Similar to how she helped Blueface by jumping on the "Thotiana Remix." [Jump to the 54:54-mark]
"Salute to Cardi. Cardi shifted that in the culture,” said Charlamagne. “Because Cardi made it where you’re the OG, you’re the person that’s made all the money, you sold all the records, but you have no problem putting your arm around that next person ... Cardi did for female rap what Jay-Z and Drake did. Whatever that next thing that’s out, Jay-Z would jump on it. Whether it’s Juvenile’s ‘Ha,’ whether it was Houston, whether it was Rick Ross, whoever it was, Jay was jumping on that.”
He continued. “Drake did the same thing. Drake did it with lesser-known artists. What Drake did was make the record big. I think what Jay did with those co-signs was he made the artist big. I think Cardi’s doing both. I think Cardi’s helping to make the artist big and she’s helping to make the music big.”
