Cardi B feat. Megan Thee Stallion
IN THE DARKEST depths of Covid-19 lockdown, at a moment in history when leaving your house could literally get you killed, Cardi B and Megan delivered the perfect instructions on how to beat the quarantine blues: “Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me/Quick jump out ’fore you let it get inside of me.” “WAP” was just the escapist raunch America needed in 2020, the sound of two of the strongest women in music defiantly putting the pleasure principle front and center in a moment when fun and joy seemed dead. Its NSFW video was brilliant since no one was at work anyway, and Cardi’s Bronx fire mixed with Megan’s bodacious flow makes for one of the greatest mic-passing hiphop buddy comedies of all time. The result is a hot-girl summit for the ages.
