Cardi B and Megan The Stallion are far from the first female rappers to embrace (and arguably flaunt) their sexuality. In the typically hyper-masculine and oftentimes hyper-misogynistic genre of Hip-hop, pioneering, sex-positive female MC’s like Lil Kim, Trina, (her nemesis) Khia and Jackie-O have spat in great detail about the impressiveness of their nether-regions. On occasion, they take it a step further by challenging the virility of the men who fantasize about bedding them; however for one rapper, who’s legendary in his one right, Cardi and Meg’s new single “WAP” is a step too far.

In an interview with Far Out magazine, the Dungeon Family rapper said, “A lot of music today is very unfortunate and disappointing on a personal and moral level.” The Atlanta native went on to recall, “There was once a time when we were savvy enough to code certain things. We could express to those it was meant for with the style of language we used. But now music is shameless, it is sheer savagery.”

Though he went on to express an understanding of “… the independent woman and being in control, the divine femininity and sexual expression,” he asserts that the approach taken by Cardi B and Megan The Stallion “feels desperate,” and argues that Nicki Minaj, whom he refers to as a Head of State, “could be effective in so many other constructive ways…”
