Maybe doing it dripping in traditional African beads and jewelry? Or perhaps singing the n-word backstage beforehand? Yes, I would agree—the third choice is the most offensive. But you got all three at…

From Now On, I Only Want My News and Weather From Cardi B
If you’re like me, you can’t stand how the mainstream news has devolved into a series of 45-second “hot takes.” “Unfair and mentally imbalanced” Fox News might as well rename itself the Orange News Network because it is basically a 24-hour cycle of spray-tanned white people high on hair gel fellating Donald Trump. So I’m…

Grammys Announce 2018 Nominees and Somehow Cardi B Isn’t Included for Best New Artist
How? Just how???!!! It’s that time of year again, and the Grammys have announced their 2018 nominees for their 60th-anniversary show. Dope. Cool.

Whether You Love It or Hate It, ‘Bodak Yellow’ Is Now the No. 1 Song in the Country
Honestly, I’m glad “Bodak Yellow” is finally the No. 1 song in the country, because now maybe people will stop writing think pieces about it and the “greatness” that is Cardi B.

This Acoustic Cover of ‘Bodak Yellow’ Is the Whitest Thing That Ever Happened
Like many children, when I was growing up, I received my share of spankings. Although they were very sporadic, they were not the apex of punishment in my mother’s household.
