    • @strikebreakerslocalchapter5871
      @strikebreakerslocalchapter5871 Před 5 lety

      Cardi B is the revolution within the revolution. If hip hop stood for a man's dignity even caught in the struggle and the streets, so too does Cardi stand for a woman's dignity in the same circumstances. Red Alert is one of the hip hop gods--triple OG super legend to be sure--but it stands as a testament to the art that Cardi doesn't need his approval... not at all. Respect.

    • @sadiki1980
