Hip-hop artist Cardi B’s hit single, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” has made history by topping Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart. During the past week, B has continued to maintain her spot on the charts for the second consecutive week.

Although it is not unusual for artist to create achieve this goal, it is highly unusual for female hip-hop artist with solo records to do so. In fact, such an achievement has not been accomplished since 1998 by female hip-hop artist, Lauryn Hill. For those who don’t follow hip-hop culture, this is considered as a legendary moment for aspiring female rappers everywhere.

As B first began climbing the music charts, she explained to K104 Radio that although she knew “Bodak Yellow” was a potential hit from the beginning, she had never aspired to top the Billboard charts.

“The higher and higher I became on the Billboard — it was kind of like a game I never really cared about the whole number one thing…but now it’s like I need to have it, I want it,” B said.

Throughout the song, B covers a variety of topics using very colorful language and depicting vivid images. In an interview with Billboard, B explained that her inspiration for writing her “Bodak Yellow” came from her really wanting to show off her recent accomplishments since she had always received flack from others.

Throughout the song, she addresses her “haters” who have threatened her simply based on the premise that they dislike her. In response, B expresses that she could care less about who dislikes her because she has still managed to work hard, make a profit and provide for her family. Meanwhile, the those who continue to “hate” on her have failed to do accomplish either of those things.

“I’m in a good place in my place right now and I wanted to stunt,” B said.

For any song to top the charts, it is required for the song to have the most radio play, sells and streams of all 100 competing songs. After placing No. 1 on The Hot 100 Billboard Chart, B expresses her appreciation.

“I don’t really know how the music [chart rating] thing works. All I know is that I know how to write and I know how to rap,” B said. “But [I realized that] this is what people work hard for. This is what artist work for.”

It is apparent that B put forth hard work in effort to convey her story when writing Bodak Yellow. B includes multiple forms of wordplay, similes and analogies in the lyrics. By doing so, she has really displayed her talent in writing music, which certainly enhances the quality of “Bodak Yellow.”

Even if hip-hop is not your preferred genre, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” is still worth listening to. It not only displays unique lyricism, but it has made history.
