‘Bodak Yellow’ Continues to Win and Is Coming for Taylor Swift’s Record
Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow” continues to do what it do. And it be winning. The catchy rap diddy, released by the Bronx, N.Y.-bred rapper born Belcalis Almanzar, first made waves after surging to Billboard’s No. 1 spot in September, a feat not seen by a female rapper since Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in…

Taylor Swift and the Tale of Unstoppable White Privilege Meeting Immovable White Privilege
I’ll be honest. I thought it was going to be a boring-ass week—until Taylor Swift “surprise”-dropped her new single from her next album, “Reputation,” this past Friday.

Kendrick, Trap Queens, and Tamar! Let's Talk About These Grammy Nominations!
If you know like I know, then you woke up to an alert on your phone telling you that the Grammy nominations came out today. It informed me that Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar led the field. Now, let’s be real, I have no idea why they even lumped them into THAT same sentence. Kendrick…
