1
What is going on, honey?
2
I cannot believe it.
3
I mean, we've spoken via all of this with technology doing the work.
4
Yeah.
5
I'm looking forward to the chance to sit opposite you to say thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
Thank you for...
8
Oh, yeah, because you know what?
9
I do feel like I talk to you often, but it's never in person.
10
It's crazy, right?
11
Yeah.
12
Yeah, it's the modern world.
13
I don't know if I like it, but I like this.
14
This feels good to me.
15
This feels good.
16
It does feel good to me as well.
17
So happy you're back with music.
18
Thank you.
19
I know you took your time.
20
I'm not worried about that.
21
And everyone worries about time.
22
Because really, from a good place, they want the music.
23
But I think it's really important when an artist like you comes back when you want to come back, when you're ready to come back.
24
You teach us a lesson to, like, your patience is okay.
25
Yeah.
26
I mean, I'm never doing that again, but I'm going to come back sooner next time around.
27
Yeah, yeah.
28
Did it get, were there moments, because there was a lot of life going on around this time as well.
29
It wasn't just like you were, like, sitting on music.
30
You were trying to find balance, I'd imagine.
31
That was what was going on.
32
Yeah.
33
It was just trying to find balance in life.
34
And not only that, but it's just like, I don't know.
35
Like, it got to the point for me that it's like nothing was pleasing me.
36
And it's so funny because it's like even when I get dressed up, when I wear clothes and stuff, like it's like sometimes I'll be like,
37
oh, my gosh, I feel like I already did this.
38
Oh, my God, I feel like somebody already wore something similar to this.
39
And that is the same way that I feel like about music
40
and it's just like it got like you'll be surprised i got like 80 songs
41
that i did probably these past seven years
42
and it's just like i just be like three weeks later
43
it's like i don't love it i don't want it i feel stupid it sounds dumb it's on this
44
and even when like even when like people come
45
and try to like help me
46
it's like i still don't like it like it's like i really went through a crash
47
that nothing was pleasing me that's that's what rata's block feels right like right
48
when you just like hang on everyone hears something
49
i can't feel yeah
50
that's tough yeah like it's like i just didn't like it i just feel like oh it's
51
so corny it's i don't know what it is like it's like i just wasn't i just wasn't liking nothing
52
and i think i was going crazy like i feel like
53
i live more in the studio than i live in my in my house
54
so it's just never like oh she's comfortable or she this
55
or she did like it's like i i feel i feel like now
56
that like my album is completed now i could finally get out the studio
57
and probably exercise some shit do something like probably exercise probably take a class
58
or something but it's like i was in there in there for real and it's like
59
when i'm these songs that are on my album are album are songs
60
that are really like
61
because i really almost feel like i don't like nothing yeah yeah like nothing how much was the success
62
that you achieved with Invasion of Privacy and the songs
63
that came from that and then of course the world opens up
64
and people fall in love with you yeah so music is the key
65
and then they're like yeah we love the music
66
but we love her how much of
67
that got inside your head as well a little bit
68
it's not really much it's just like I just I don't go with the pressure of Invasion of Privacy
69
because what's funny
70
when it came to Invasion of Privacy I wasn't really like thinking of like oh I need to make these numbers.
71
I need to make these things.
72
I just really felt like I have to keep my career.
73
Because it was the first time I got pregnant, and people were saying, oh, this never happened before.
74
We never had an artist in the label that got pregnant right at the beginning of their career.
75
So I just was in a rush to do my deadline and deliver my album.
76
So that was on my mind.
77
Now things have changed because people like criticize me a little bit harder more than I feel like any other artist,
78
which I, I, I feel like it's not fair to me, but it's like, you know what?
79
They don't do it to the people.
80
They don't think that they're great or they don't whatever.
81
And it's like one of the key that I feel confidence that is like, I'm, I'm going to be okay because it's like,
82
no matter what I do, like, it's like sometimes I could put this fire ass outfit and I could kill fashion week.
83
And it's like, people be like, cool, but where's the music?
84
I could drop a product and people be like, okay, but where's the album?
85
I could be in a drama, like some controversial shit, and people be like, we don't give a fuck.
86
We want the album.
87
And it's like...
88
That must feel good in a way because...
89
Yeah.
90
It's a little annoying, but it's like, that is a good indication.
91
Because we miss it.
92
And I said that to you before we got on camera and on the mic here.
93
What I've heard, I love.
94
And what struck me immediately from the first second you opened your mouth and spoke, and I knew I was listening to a body of work,
95
not just a standalone song.
96
I was like there's only one of you like this like
97
this nobody can can show up whether it's seven years 17 years 27 years
98
it doesn't matter I was like it is it is Bronx
99
it is Cardi it's the voice it's the attitude is the honesty it's the I didn't realize you were being
100
so hard on yourself because it still sounds effortless to me I'd be really hard on myself.
101
I really be hard on myself, but I have to be hard on myself because people be hard on me.
102
So it's like...
103
Wouldn't that normally afford you some grace rather than kind of...
104
No. Nobody ever afford me some grace.
105
Nothing.
106
Nobody ever give me no grace.
107
It's like I'm not allowed to have a flop.
108
I'm not allowed to have a song that is like I want to do because it's just in my heart to do.
109
It's almost everything got to be great.
110
Everything has to be amazing.
111
And it's like, that's just what it is for me.
112
That's what comes.
113
It sounds hard.
114
Yeah.
115
It sounds hard.
116
So it's like everything I have to put my mind, thought, foot, ass, titty pussy on it.
117
You know how people use their foot?
118
My grandma's be like, I put my feet in it.
119
Yeah, I put my whole body in it.
120
I put my soul in it.
121
So it's like.
122
I'm glad that you're here to be able to clear up
123
You know, for anybody who unjustifiably thinks they deserve an answer to this question
124
About what you've been doing for seven years
125
No one deserves an answer to that
126
But you've been gracious enough to say, no, I've been in this studio
127
Yeah And, you know, what was the breakthrough for you?
128
What was the moment when you were like, you know what?
129
I think I see something I feel something and it's not how it's felt the last five years,
130
six years, whatever about i really feel like i really feel
131
that like the songs that i have on my album is things
132
that are not out there right
133
now like it's like this deserve to be out the out out
134
there right now like it's like right
135
now it's a lot of trends going on it's a lot of trends
136
it's a lot of songs without feel in it
137
and uh i just feel like it's like it's done
138
i feel like it's like there's no more
139
there's no more add -ons carly
140
you need to stop adding on that's the hardest thing like it's like i need to add
141
this i need to add on like it's like maybe track seven maybe i could do a better track seven
142
because one to six are great and eight to twelve are cool
143
but seven might be a problem yeah oh
144
that's the craziness of art yeah that's that's where the insanity lives isn't it yeah insanity
145
that should be the word because it's like
146
this album was driving me insane and it's like you know like people shouldn't wonder where I was at because
147
I always kind of post what I'm doing and where I'm at
148
if I'm not in New York at home it's
149
because they probably sent me to Atlanta or sent me to LA
150
or sent me to a state a random state
151
or sent me to Miami and if I'm there more than a month
152
or more than three weeks it's because they got me in a studio not
153
because of nothing else the only time i go far away from home for like a week
154
or longer is either fashion week
155
or i'm doing press runs like this week i'm doing press runs for a song
156
but usually if i'm away
157
and motherfuckers like what the fuck she doing in miami what's she doing in la i'm recording
158
and i'm recording every single day sometimes you might sometimes i might come up with like three fucking three bars, three words.
159
And sometimes I just go crazy.
160
What was Imaginary Players?
161
Quick?
162
No, it wasn't quick.
163
I had to study my lifestyle and write down my lifestyle.
164
You know why I love that line in between verse 1
165
and verse 2 where you basically kind of modernize your John Lennon quote.
166
When someone said to John Lennon from the Beatles, like, how do you write these amazing songs that change the world?
167
and he said well you just you just take what you feel
168
and you make it rhyme yeah yeah you know take what you think
169
and you make it rhyme
170
and you said the same thing it's easy for me to say the shit
171
i live this shit i just gotta make it right yeah
172
because it's like i'm practically rapping about what i'm i'm living like everything
173
that i'm talking about is like the things that i live
174
or the things like my fly friends like
175
because i really i really like i be looking like it's like what's
176
she what this bitch wearing what this bitch talking about what this isn't
177
that and it's like i literally just have to make it rhyme make it sound good
178
but it's like this is my life and i just took notes of everything
179
that i was doing like it's like even in the music video right in the music video
180
i was really having a fitting i just had my hair done
181
and my makeup done and the people
182
that were fitting me are really they're really the fashion houses fitting me for a show
183
All those outfits that I wore, I wore them for a show.
184
That's not a set.
185
It's not a set.
186
And it's like, they're really fitting me couture pieces while I'm doing a music video.
187
Like, this is my life.
188
This is really my life.
189
Like, it's like, I'm wearing couture, but I'm not wearing it for a music video.
190
I'm wearing it because I'm about to wear this to a show this week.
191
Like, this is my life for real.
192
Yeah, and you co -directed that video, which, you know, congratulations.
193
I mean, I always think when an artist can step into their visual environment
194
and actually see another step of the creative through, it must be really rewarding.
195
And, you know, we're surrounded by these birds, and I saw in Fashion Week and obviously in the artwork,
196
there's a heavy emphasis on this kind of avian experience, you know, birds and crows and whatnot.
197
So where did that come from?
198
Well, it just really reflects on, like, Like, just everything, every aspect in my life, like, it's like.
199
Because it's kind of dark imagery.
200
I'm looking over your shoulder and that tree is pretty barren and those birds are pretty frantic.
201
And the whole thing feels kind of unnerving, you know?
202
Yeah, yeah.
203
And I really like to do my things very colorful.
204
Like, I'm a very colorful person.
205
But it's just like, this past year,
206
I feel like something kind of was dying in me like my humbleness my me trying
207
so much to be unproblematic my me trying to avoid
208
avoid drama avoid the disses avoid the bitches avoid the talks it's like
209
that shit is dying that's dying out in me like it's like that's really dying in me like it's
210
that i'm really about to show you bitch
211
that you are not fucking with me like the cockiness is like being born again
212
and not only that but it's like my my life my relationships everything like it's like
213
that shit is dying
214
now too like it's like giving chances giving chances to men giving chances to women giving chances to people
215
that is like just just want to see the nice shuddy
216
shuddy like it's like oh just ignore ignore be the bigger person
217
that shit is dying now it's like i'm not no and
218
i feel like i gave y 'all too much grace to like think
219
that y 'all could fuck with me and it's like
220
that shit is dead bitch now I'm gonna embrace that you wanted
221
that bitch now I'm gonna give it to you
222
and I hope you could take it
223
when I motherfucking give it to y 'all that's how I feel for real I guess
224
that you see that I'm getting kind of angry I'm getting angry
225
because it's like it's like it's a real emotion though it's a real human energy yes yes because imagine
226
imagine being in your crib right you're going through so much shit
227
so much drama like it's that you probably got into an argument with your aunt and your cousins and shit,
228
then your fucking husband doing some bullshit.
229
Then like in your music career, like in the studio, like you got like fucking writer's block.
230
You have all these problems going on.
231
Then a bitch starts fucking with you.
232
And it's like, while all this is happening, you got a bitch fucking with me.
233
And it's like, all right, bitch, I can get to you at that moment, but I'm going to get to you now.
234
And you're going to get it on my time as well.
235
So the title, Am I the Drama, is less like, Am I the Drama?
236
It's more like, Am I the Drama?
237
Like it's like, no, it just do feel like, damn, am I the drama?
238
Because it's like every single time, even when I'm silent, like there's been times, right?
239
There's been times that say, I'm going to take a hiatus from the internet.
240
I'm not going to be in the internet for a whole month for some reason i'm getting tried even
241
when i'm not saying nothing even when i'm not doing nothing
242
and it's just like i've been telling people like it's like yo i really be avoiding shit
243
and it's like damn do drama chase me
244
or am i just the drama like it's like
245
because am i i'm just one of those people
246
that it's just like you're gonna always have problems
247
because you're just you
248
and it's like that's what comes with you you with your personality
249
i'm just one of those people is such a powerful statement.
250
Like I think everybody to some degree has some kind of shadow behind them
251
that they feel they can't shake and they don't know why.
252
Something that just seems to be slightly preventing this kind of perfect equilibrium in their life.
253
And so I wanted to know like this idea of drama, this idea of like, if I'm crouching at the bar,
254
why is everybody standing up straight around me looking at me when I want to hide?
255
Has it always felt that way even before this entertainment show?
256
Yes, even when I, you know what, even like when I was in school,
257
like sometimes I I just really think I was born with like anointed light
258
and sometimes the light is great
259
but it's all it also disturbs people's peace it draws people to you yeah it draws people yes
260
and it's not it's not always gonna be good like cuz I'm not not everybody's gonna draw to
261
that light like that light might bother people
262
because maybe it's too light it's too bright it's too loud
263
it could also shine on others in ways they don't want to be shining yeah yeah
264
Yeah, or just jealousy, but it always been like this to me.
265
I always say this, right?
266
Like, because in middle school, I always used to get into some shit.
267
I always say, like, in high school, I'm going to go in high school, and I'm not going to talk.
268
I'm going to be mysterious.
269
But either way, so.
270
Because that's self -preservation, isn't it?
271
In a weird way.
272
It's like, I need to, like, hide away, but I don't want to look like I'm hiding away.
273
Yes.
274
But for some reason, I will still get into beef with bitches and it's like
275
and it will be maybe
276
because my hair was dyed a different way my my clothes were too loud my my stomach was too flat
277
it was always something that like it bothered bitches even
278
when i'm even
279
when i'm here right like it's like even in the industry there is a lot of different female rappers
280
but for some reason it's something about me
281
that like these bitches can't stand they can't with me
282
they like some are i feel like they're in they're on this class right now they're sophomores
283
and I'm a senior
284
and it's like you want to fuck with the soft you you want to fuck with the senior
285
so bad like you think you're here with the senior you're not even a junior like it's like
286
and it's like you need to worry about the other sophomores before you start worrying about here the fucking senior
287
but it's just it's something about it
288
that is like they can't even focus on them they got to focus on me
289
and they always got to focus on throwing me shots
290
and throwing me slings no matter if you're a fucking sophomore
291
or in motherfucking college it's me and you're sick of it
292
and i'm sick of it and it's just like i've been avoiding too many shit
293
and it's like man fuck you fuck everybody i mean now my songs are gonna be like
294
that we're gonna hear this on the album yeah like now my song's gonna be like
295
that i have different songs i have like i mean
296
you heard like pop songs fun song club songs like i have a little bit of everything bronx legend
297
you heard man imaginary players, Jay -Z, I love how you flipped it.
298
You made it your own.
299
Only greats can do that.
300
How special for you was it for the idea of updating imaginary players, making it your lifestyle and getting
301
Jay's got to hear it and go yes.
302
So let's talk about that because we're still fans at the end of the day.
303
I just said it on the radio show that I was doing.
304
I was in the studio last year in the summertime yeah
305
and I was really caught in a funk like I got my hair done
306
I got my makeup done in weeks I'm sleeping in the couch it was like the fourth third day
307
that I'm sleeping on the couch in the studio
308
and I just feel so down not down
309
but I just don't feel like my exhausted I'm exhausted I'm pregnant as fuck
310
and like I was just going through some drama in my life
311
and I just was like so tired so over it
312
and then like my engineer was like cheer up like it's like come on come on we gotta wake up
313
we gotta get up
314
and it's like all right like all right then he started playing imaginary players
315
and i just started i just started laughing because it was
316
so random for him for him to play that
317
and i was like yeah i'm like yo imagine
318
if i flip this shit but my way because it's like my life
319
and times my life
320
because it's like i i got a lot of shit to brag about like
321
because i really do live a different lifestyle than a lot of people oh
322
and then you're doing the 180
323
because now you're longer feeling down you're like actually let me take a look around
324
i actually got some to talk about i started feeling man good
325
and then it's like that's when i started working on it yeah yeah
326
but then i was like wait hold on what
327
if it's not even like what
328
if like it's like i gotta i gotta like study everything
329
so it's like
330
when i was eating certain places i will write
331
it down like it's like these are the hot spots we we wrote down every fire restaurant
332
that we was that we were there like we was eating with like me
333
and my engineer we like spend a lot of time
334
and the summertime together because I was my plan was to have my album delivered in the beginning of January.
335
But my lifestyle changed for me.
336
Yeah.
337
Like crazy.
338
Like in life, life, like it just changed for me and I just needed to be outside.
339
So I was just writing fly shit down.
340
Then when I when it was time to was like to submit, to submit it, to get approved.
341
I was a little scared.
342
I was a little shaky.
343
Like, wait a minute, Jay -Z got to approve it.
344
Like, I mean, I always knew that he got to approve it.
345
But it's like, how about if he don't approve it?
346
How about if he fucking likes it?
347
And he did like it.
348
And it's so crazy.
349
Like, the text message of him approving it, it was at 444 p .m.
350
Are you kidding me?
351
So, it just, it just.
352
Is he living like that? or is
353
that just some crazy universe fucking spiritual shit because
354
if is he right i don't really think he's sitting there waiting till 444 right no nobody does
355
which which is even crazier because
356
that means he is tapped into something yeah i mean we we're i i believe heavy on 444
357
and i believe heavy heavy heavy heavy in an 11 11 yeah some people think that is not a real thing
358
No, numerology is real
359
Shout out the Fibonacci sequence, man I mean, everything that goes on around us in nature
360
Is ultimately a mathematical equation I mean, it's real So, it was just like, alright This is a good sign
361
And it really changed my mood
362
Damn, I feel like I'm always cranky
363
Because that day I was cranky
364
And when I got the sex message to hear approval I'm like, yeah!
365
I was happy
366
You definitely sound cranky on this album
367
In a very good way I mean, you got some shit to get off your chest for sure
368
But there is also joy on this forthcoming album, which is great too.
369
So I know we only have limited time this time.
370
But I'm grateful for any time.
371
But I want to wrap by asking you how your spirit is now.
372
I think it's safe to say without going into detail because that's not how I roll.
373
Yeah.
374
I mean, I want art to win.
375
So I'm like, let's just focus on the spirit.
376
So outside of what the internet talks about, how are you?
377
How am I?
378
Some days are good.
379
Some days I'm a little sad.
380
Some days I'm a little confused.
381
You're still going through it, though?
382
Does it feel like you're still processing?
383
You talked about life.
384
changing are you are you still processing
385
or is this yes yeah yes like you know like you know
386
when you graduate high school
387
and now like you're about you're about to go to college
388
you don't know what you're expecting um well not only do
389
I like you gotta go to college like I had to move out
390
so it's like now you're really like in the real world
391
and it's like I'm getting I feel like I'm getting
392
that reset again but it doesn't feel as good
393
because I'm in my 30s
394
and I shouldn't be having a reset at my 30s
395
i should be it should just be almost like planned out
396
almost like this is what is coming for the rest of
397
my life like it's like sometimes i feel like i'm in my 20s
398
and i don't really want to feel like i'm in my 20s
399
i want to feel like i'm in my grown 30s
400
because i got three kids
401
and it's like i'm not i'm not like um i'm not
402
i like to be outside i like to have fun
403
but it's like i like to have my things planned out i'm always a person
404
that thinking about five years from now you know i'm saying
405
i like to think about family like that's just the type of person
406
that i just am so experiencing that experience experiencing the streets
407
and stuff like that is just a little weird
408
and then as i going through a divorce is very very tough because
409
you marry somebody and the person that you divorcing is not the person that you marry
410
at all it's like you you really ask yourself like who the fuck did i marry like who the fuck
411
that i marry like there is no love there there is no love there is no there is no love
412
but there's but to me i always felt like it's like
413
if i ever walk away from something like i get along with all my exes even
414
if we don't talk we never ended it on some nasty nasty stuff
415
so i never wish them bad like because i don't wish them bad
416
or nothing like that like it's like it has gotten to the point
417
that it's like oh my gosh like it's like i feel like i really hate
418
you like you're i think i hate you and i
419
and i never wanted
420
that i guess like i always be wondering like it's like why do women hate their baby daddy
421
so much why do people say that divorce is
422
so tough i feel like if like
423
if the love is dead people should just go their separate ways
424
i've got a couple of friends who have just been through catastrophic like thermonuclear divorces
425
and i don't understand it
426
because it feels like yesterday we were all hanging out together yes yes
427
and i'm just the type of person like if something is dead
428
and you know that it's dead
429
and it's never gonna go good
430
i just feel like everybody should walk away walk away what
431
they came with just walk away things gonna hurt for a couple of months
432
but especially when there's kids is
433
that we should be able to to co -parent
434
we should be able to have a conversation 100
435
i should be able you we should be able to ask each other advice
436
and just become friends but it's not like
437
that it's it's actually i'm going to something
438
that is like kind of like very like wow
439
this is very dark it's not even painful it's kind of like pain i feel like you will feel pain
440
when like you still got love feelings
441
i don't have i don't have the love feeling i went through pain like last year
442
when the love was dying the love is dead
443
so i don't feel pain but it's just like i don't know it's like
444
when somebody died like it's like you feel pain
445
and then it's like now you got the bills of the of the funeral yeah
446
now you got the bills of the funeral
447
and it's like what the host you miss love yeah yeah yeah yeah cardi somehow
448
you found the strength to come back with this album
449
we have a release date this means lots of people yeah
450
and i can imagine on september the 20th the day after
451
it comes out I can't even imagine what you're going to feel.
452
I feel everything right now.
453
I'm just very anxious.
454
It's like every single day, it's like, what are we doing next?
455
What are we doing next?
456
I cannot wait to just drop this album because I haven't even been myself for the past three weeks.
457
I have been cursing everybody out, being rude, being angry, and I feel bad when I curse you well.
458
Yes.
459
loaded question for the crew well handled by the way beautifully
460
done yes like it's like i really feel like i've been like really hard on people
461
and everything but that's just
462
because i i'm really just feeling the pressure like at first
463
i'm i was like okay we we're gonna release this album
464
and everything this when you're really about to release it the pressure is
465
so crazy that I just feel like I wake up sometimes and it's like...
466
you think I'm waking up in a frantic because I got some other shit going on?
467
Your subconscious is attacking you.
468
My subconscious is like, I need to fuck this shit up.
469
Can I say something to you as we say goodbye that may help that?
470
Yeah.
471
Because execution is the hardest thing, I think, in the arts.
472
Ideation, creativity, it comes naturally to people who love it.
473
Yeah.
474
But finishing, to your point, can be really torturous, right?
475
Yeah.
476
Really tough.
477
And I got to quote the human being who said it because it's a great quote.
478
So Damon from Gorillaz, Damon Albarn said, you should definitely finish because then you get to make another one.
479
Yeah.
480
So the beautiful thing is now you finish this one.
481
Now we get to get another one.
482
Yeah.
483
And another one.
484
And another one.
485
And now I'm not going to waste seven years, honey.
486
And another one.
487
And another one.
488
And let's get 10 more.
489
Cardi B, you're the best.
490
It's great to see you.
491

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
