Cardi B Calls Out Rolling Stone Magazine For Her Placement On Its “Greatest Hip-Hop Albums Of All Time” List
When Rolling Stone magazine dropped their 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time list last month I didn’t take the time to read it because 200 is way above my attention span’s pay grade. However, when Rolling Stone decided to comprise their lengthy list of corporate critiques they should have known they would upset a lot of people. And this is where battle-ready Bronx broad Cardi B enters the chat. Somehow, she’s found a way to complain that her ranking is too high, and she’s calling out Rolling Stone for setting her up after the weave-grabbing drag across Twitter she received in the aftermath of their list.
Cardi’s debut album Invasion of Privacy comes in at Number 16 on Rolling Stone’s list, ranking slightly higher than albums by Nicki Minaj, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre among others. Personally, I call shenanigans on her position because her album should have been lower on the list. And luckily I’m not the only person who thinks Rolling Stone missed the mark with this list as well.
Rolling Stone really put Cardi B's album ahead of 2Pac's 🤣🤣🤣

And apparently, according to Billboard, Cardi understands that her ranking is a bit questionable as well. During a segment on Angela Yee‘s podcast Angela Yee’s Lip Service, Cardi once again sharpened her claws and began scratching and slicing at anyone who believes she doesn’t belong where she was placed. Granted, she believes Invasion of Privacy was good, but she also believes Rolling Stone was intentional in making her ranking so high that it would cause an uproar on social media.
“I understand that people feel a certain type of way, but don’t try to disrespect me, or my work, or my album,” she told Yee. “Y’all don’t gotta disrespect my sh–.”…Cardi asserted that her album is “definitely a classic” and that “the numbers are great.” Nevertheless, she noted that “it’s not even about the numbers. I’ve been all around the world and people singing f—ing word for word.”
Later in the conversation, Cardi validated some of the criticism of Invasion of Privacybeing placed above albums from The Notorious B.I.G. and Nas. “Rolling Stone, you tried to set me up! You got my a– dragged on a f—ing Tuesday for no reason,” she joked.

Damn you, Rolling Stone, for giving her a reason to complain, yet again. Here’s some advice Cardi; if you don’t like criticism stop making music. You’ll be happier, and so will we. It’s a win/win for everyone.
