It took 19 years for a female rapper to get #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart

[LisaVandercunt]

Its unbelievable that it took this long for a female rapper to get #1. 

Lauryn Hill achieved #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1998 with "Doo Woop" off of her critically acclaimed "The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill" album.

 

 

Now Cardi has #1 song in the country, shocking isn't it that in the past 19 years female rappers who have been in the game for a long long time were unable to achieve such monumental success. 

Missy Elliott, Eve, Lil Kim, Trina, Queen Latifah weren't able to top the charts. Missy came close with "Loose Control" and "Work It".

19 years is not an easy feat. Congrats to her!

[TickleMePink]

Lil Kim had a #1 on Billboard but it was a collab with Mya, Christina Aguilera and Pink on "Lady Marmalade"

The big question is how Cardi is gonna sustain it and prove people she isn't a one hit wonder

smh I was rooting for Lil Kim but she got lazy

She's with Atlantic Records the same label that Sia, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, David Guetta, Missy Elliott, K.Michelle, Wiz and a lot others are on.

I can totally see a collab between David Guetta and Cardi happening next summer, something like what he did with Nicki on Turn Me On. Or something with Flo Rida since he's also signed with Atlantic Records.

Bodak yellow slaps.

[STORM]

Went from LH to this trash...

[Thigh-high feminist]

We can't give Missy an honorary #1?! Damn!

 

 

It was nice to see the female rappers congratulating Cardi on Twitter though.

Work It was #2 for 10 weeks, so it's the top candidate.

[SpringBom]

Shook but I think *without a feature. Because technically, Iggy was the last one. There was also queen Fergie in 2006 without a feature.

From Doo Wop to Bodak Yellow, the drop in quality is staggering

 

[Yagura]

It's a great achievement but the song is tragic 

[PeachyHearts]

YYYEEESSS!!! Congrats~~~ Bodak Yellow issa bop!

[SeeYaWithYou]

How did Lose Control not get to #1

One of the best songs of all time

[frozentear]

It's sad how music quality dropped so much...

[Ronnie Mars]

Missy's "Work It" should've hit #1, but I guess she was blocked from the top spot by some other song?

Blocked by Nelly's Dilemma

[ANBU]
