'' They continued to call her voice `` an unabashedly loud and sexual fuck - you New York honk -- that translates perfectly to rap. '' In a 2017 Complex article about her, the editor wrote `` unapologetic does not begin to describe the totally unfiltered and sheer Cardi B - ness of Cardi B 's personality. She 's a hood chick who 's not afraid to be hood no matter the setting. Cardi B is Cardi B 24 / 7, 365, this is why she resonates with people, and that same energy comes out in her music.

I feel so damn powerful. ' '' When commenting on her rise to stardom The Fader wrote `` one video in particular tipped her popularity over the edge. It was a 13 - second clip that doubles as a neat précis of her ethos : ' People be asking me, ' What do you does ? Are you a model ? Are you, like, a comedian or something ? ' Nah, I ai n't none of that. I 'm a hoe. I 'm a stripper hoe. I 'm about this shmoney.

Like, this man was suffering from polio at the time of his presidency, and yet all he was worried about was trying to make America great -- make America great again for real.
