marching in the streets to recall and celebrate the legacy of civil rights icon
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The national holiday might also serve as a time to
remember King's message of reconciliation and understanding, especially in
light of the latest racially charged comments attributed to Pres. Trump, who
just days before reportedly referred to people from Haiti and some Central
American and African nations as coming from <i>"shithole countries."</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While Trump defended himself on Sunday (Jan. 14) by telling reporters
"I am not a racist," the international fallout and widespread
condemnation for the latest racial provocation from the president was a further
reminder that the work started by Dr. King six decades ago is not yet complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="color: red;">[Welcome to Tha’ Palace!]:</span></b> <span style="color: white;"> From its quiet, B-movie-ish beginning in 2014,
the John Wick universe has quickly expanded with focus, commitment and sheer
will.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The latest official addition to the franchise – which also has two
movies in the bag, plus a further sequel coming and a female-led spin-off
planned – is a TV series that will go by the name The Continental.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the TV spinoff at the TCA winter press tour today, Deadline reports.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the show's name suggests, it will revolve around the Continental
Hotel that appears in the movies, a haven for assassins where they can
(supposedly) move freely without risk of being knocked off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Chris Collins, whose promising CV includes scripts for The Wire and
Sons of Anarchy, will write and act as showrunner for The Continental.
Alongside him, there will be plenty of people from the films involved, with the
list of executive producers including Keanu Reeves, the existing films'
screenwriter Derek Kolstad, and the existing films' directors Chad Stahelski
and David Leitch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Stahelski teased the series last year when it was in development,
saying: "[It's] got a really good structure. It's very tied to the film
[in that] it's about the Continentals all over the world, how certain people
come into that world, and what happens in relation to those people, which is
cool."<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He also addressed whether Wick himself, Keanu Reeves, would be
appearing, saying: "I think he would make an appearance. I think that's
part of his thing, [but the series] isn't centred around John Wick."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There's nothing further today on whether Keanu will cameo, or when we
can expect to see the series. Next up in the franchise is John Wick: Chapter
Three, which arrives in cinemas on May 17, 2019.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to trademark Jaybo, a character influenced by Sambo (featured in “The Story of
Little Black Sambo,” a children’s book from 1899 that is generally considered

the 1941 film that has also been accused of making racist characterizations).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The song drew some criticism, including from the Anti-Defamation

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With a boxier-looking silhouette, one that is in keeping with the current footwear trends, the shoes are highlighted by some chain-style detailing (coincidence?) and bold, bright colors, the latter of which is a hallmark of both Versace and 2 Chainz's unique fashion personas. There's no telling how much or what kind of say he had in the design of the shoe, but the ATL veteran was very much involved with the sneaker's debut on the Milan Fashion Week runway, where he was on hand at the live show.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">According to <a href="http://wwd.com/runway/mens-fall-collections-2018/milan/versace/review/" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; text-decoration: none; touch-action: manipulation;" target="_blank">WWD</a>, the "Chain Reaction" sneakers will soon be online for purchase (think March or so), but likely only in limited quantities and perhaps even only select designs. It's a bold move for both Versace and their rapper collaborator, who might be looking to insert himself into a streetwear market that has been increasingly dominated by the titans of the rap music genre, like<a class="text-word" href="http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/KanyeWest/profile" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: none; text-decoration: none; touch-action: manipulation;" target="_blank">Kanye West</a>. This could be a venture that, along with a new album that is supposedly in the works, makes 2019 quite the profitable year for 2 Chainz. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As well, the claim stated similarities with Stevens' copyright on the song, arguing the book incorporates "substantially" and "confusingly" similar proprietary elements from the song's composition, name and character. "Specifically, Defendants have wrongfully appropriated the proprietary CAPTAIN SAVE A HOE name and superhero character elements in violation of Plaintiff's rights in the Composition and character created and described therein," the suit alleges. "Defendants' book and character described therein is an infringing derivative work of Plaintiff's Composition including the structure, format, elements and even certain identical verbiage is copied."</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px;">In response, Vodka & Milk Publishing filed a counterclaim asserting essentially that Stevens had filed incomplete trademark requests and his rights do not cover the use of the "Captain Save a Hoe" mark in books. Perhaps more importantly, though, is the publisher's claim that the book series and E-40 have different enough customers that the book would not cause confusion or lead anyone to believe it came from the rapper. </span></div>

Giving an example, Boddie compared it to someone coming out with a McDonald's perfume that uses a different mark than the famous golden arches and is just using the same last name. "They would have different consumers," he says. "So that's the defense that we have in this case."</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Ms. Clifford (Stormy) does get around. When Louisiana Senator and right-wing Bozo David Vitter was caught red-handed having diaper-sex with prostitutes supplied by the DC Madam, Stormy Daniels entered the race to succeed Senator Vitter in Louisiana, complete with an official exploratory committee and a “listening tour” of the impoverished state to access the populace’s needs. All was going well and Stormy actually sounded more grounded than Senator Vitter when an unexpected bump in the road appeared.</span></span></div>

Seems her new husband forgot to pay the electric bill. The enraged Ms. Daniels went all “stormy” on her hubby, beating him so mercilessly that he had to call 911 for help. Oh well, there’s always porn to fall back on. Ms. Daniels is more into adult film production these days than actually appearing in them.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">But the plaintiffs claim the disclosure is "materially
inaccurate" because "AMC's newly acquired international operations
generally experience lower attendance during the summer months."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in New York by the
Hawaii Structural Ironworkers Pension Trust Fund and on behalf of others
similarly situated, and it not only names AMC but also several financial
institutions, along with CEO Adam Aron, CFO Craig Ramsey, chief accounting
officer Chris Cox and a slew of AMC board members.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The lawsuit notes that on an Aug. 4 earnings call, Aron said the second
quarter, which includes a portion of summer, "is often the smallest
quarter of the year in Europe," which the plaintiffs say contradicts
language disclosed in regulatory filings.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Beyond the issue of seasonality differences between the U.S. and other

<span style="background-color: black;"><b><span style="color: red;">[Welcome to Tha’ Palace!]:</span></b> <span style="color: white;"> “Proud Mary” is an
assassin-with-a-heart-of-gold action thriller in which the sizzle doesn’t match
the steak (or, in this case, the low-grade VOD-and-cable-ready B-movie
hamburger). The sizzle is all about the blazing guns and badass attitude —
about the film’s neo-blaxploitation credits and title allusion to the anarchic
Ike and Tina Turner song, about its showy and efficient but ultimately rather
routine action sequences, and about the doleful swagger of its star and
executive producer, Taraji P. Henson, who knows how to shoot a bullet into
somebody’s chest by adding that special touch of mean-it fierceness.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Beneath the ballistic flash, though, “Proud Mary” is a rather desultory
sentimental fable about a veteran Boston killer, Mary (Henson), who takes a
13-year-old street urchin, Danny (Jahi Di’Allo Winston), under her tattered
wing. She becomes his protector, and in the process tries to liberate herself
from a lifetime of regret. Henson is the right actress to play a contract
killer grown weary, but as a thriller “Proud Mary” doesn’t quite do her
justice. It’s a connect-the-dots underworld trifle, watchable and minimal (at
88 minutes, it has time for about one-and-a-half plot twists), though Henson
holds it together and, at moments, comes close to convincing you that you’re
watching a better movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Mary meets Danny when she orphans him by killing his deadbeat father.
The kid is already a precocious criminal, a survivor with a tough pout, who
works for a local hood — played by the always appealing Xander Berkeley, though
in this case trying out an unfortunate stage-Yiddish accent from the early
’60s. Danny’s plight brings out the maternal instinct that Mary has been
repressing her whole life, ever since she was a lost teenager who got rescued
by Benny (Danny Glover), the gangster who trained her to be an assassin and
made her part of his criminal family. It’s a nest that no one is allowed to
leave.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Glover, now 71, gives a canny and arresting performance. Holding his
tall frame stock-still, he’s all scratchy vocal delivery and folksy benevolence
— until he’s crossed, at which point he turns evil, though he doesn’t alter his
delivery at all, just the words he’s saying. He’s a very friendly monster. We
can see why Mary would want to be free of him — and, what’s more, why she’s
still running from her romance with Benny’s cloyingly heartless son, Tom (Billy
Brown). They’re her clan, but she wants to breathe clean air again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In 1994, “The Professional” teamed Jean Reno and the young Natalie
Portman and proved that it was possible to make a movie about a hitman who
partners with a kid and not have it be a corny contrivance. But just because
it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s easy. “Proud Mary” is too sketchy to give Mary
and Danny’s kinship anything more than an abstract weight. It’s the sort of
movie in which Danny accuses Mary of taking care of him out of guilt, and she
replies, “That’s not true! Well, maybe it was at first, but it’s not true now.”
The dialogue simply mirrors the script’s formulaic design.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Henson, at least, makes every scene breathe. She’s not an exploitation
actress. She gives Mary a haunted bravado, and when she finally confronts her
enemies, one by one, you feel the weight of each pulled trigger. Yet maybe
that’s the very reason why Henson is decent, but not exceptional, as an action
star: As she wheels her car through a spray of bullets, or picks off henchmen
with perfectly timed shots, she goes through the motions just fine, but you
never feel like she was born for this kind of brutality. Taraji P. Henson has
too much humanity to be reduced to a lethal weapon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

owned by Hasaun Muhammad but was subsequently transferred to Craig J. Williams
and then Bonaventura Films. Bonaventura granted Noval an exclusive license to
use it. Meanwhile, Jackson's estate maintains that it is the owner of the
footage because and Muhammad agreed that he wouldn't exploit it without
Jackson's consent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The court found that the estate hasn't sufficiently proved its
ownership of the copyrights and Noval hasn't established definitively that the
estate doesn't own the rights, so the issue should be presented to a jury.
Further, Crotty held that Noval failed to prove the estate's counterclaim for
copyright infringement is barred by the statute of limitations and that the
documentary's use of the photos is protected by fair use. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

CA—Welcome to Tha’ Palace!</b> </span><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A specter is haunting the music business -- the
specter of Bitcoin. To be more specific, it's the Fear of Missing Out on
Bitcoin, which is only natural given the digital currency's climb from a value
of about $1,000 to more than $19,000, before it settled at about $15,000.
Suddenly, a business that has spent the last decade making it more convenient
to pay for its products is experimenting with digital cryptocurrencies that are
technologically innovative, mathematically secure and actually fairly inconvenient
to use. What is to be done? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In November, Bjork began selling her album in Bitcoin and three other
digital currencies. (The first major artist to accept Bitcoin seems to be -- go
figure -- 50 Cent.) Ghostface Killah got involved in issuing his own cryptocurrency,
which seems uncomfortably close to the Chappelle's Show's "Wu-Tang
Financial skit that shows the hip-hop group offering investment advice. In
early December, a team involved with the cryptocurrency Monero announced
Project Coral Reef, which allows consumers to buy merchandise from Mariah
Carey, G-Eazy, Fall Out Boy and other artists who have deals with Global
Merchandising Services. Now the DJ Gareth Emery plans to release, sell, and pay
royalties for music using both digital currency and the blockchain technology
that it often runs on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Digital cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin could be transformative and
they're rising in value so fast that they're impossible to ignore. (Even J.P.
Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon turned around.) At the same time, the only person
I know who has ever actually bought anything with Bitcoin is my former neighbor
in Berlin, who ordered LSD by mail from the online Silk Road marketplace for
illegal drugs. It's not clear how much this will help the music business,
however, since rising Bitcoin transaction fees are making the currency so
impractical that even a bitcoin conference stopped accepting them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As cool as cryptocurrencies are, it's still not clear what problem they
solve. Consider Monero, which offers users even more privacy than Bitcoin by
obscuring the identities of payers. That has potential and it makes sense for
businesses to accept whatever currency their customers want to use. "It's
what we want to do," says Christopher Drinkwater, Global Merchandising
Services' head of e-commerce. "Make things as easy as possible."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TMb4Va8kopQ/WlpGrF-2UmI/AAAAAAAANL8/FnbiGcPxx2sJTI77K3I7jE8QK4gS8SvZQCLcBGAs/s1600/BitCoin%2B5%2B2018%2BPalace%2BImages.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TMb4Va8kopQ/WlpGrF-2UmI/AAAAAAAANL8/FnbiGcPxx2sJTI77K3I7jE8QK4gS8SvZQCLcBGAs/s1600/BitCoin%2B5%2B2018%2BPalace%2BImages.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The customer is always right and Drinkwater says purchases made with
Monero are increasing. Once the novelty wears off, though, isn't it just easier
to buy things with a credit card? Sure, anyone who's embarrassed about their
love for the Backstreet Boys can now buy a T-shirt in secret. Wearing it will
still be a giveaway, though.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So far in the music business, there are more serious discussions about
the blockchain technology that Bitcoin is built on, since it can store
information on a database that's distributed widely online -- and thus both
open to read and impossible to alter in secret. "The blockchain is
real," Dimon said recently. Dot Blockchain Media wants to use this to
replace the industry's many, old, incomplete rights-holder databases with a
music file format that contains rights information along with recordings.
Theoretically, at least, this would solve the problem of streaming services not
being able to identify or find the rights owners for the songs they use. Which
some say has the potential to change the business. Theoretically.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some have. In April, ASCAP joined with SACEM and PRS for Music in a
venture to explore the potential of the technology to track rights ownership.
"The same real-time update and tracking capabilities that make blockchain
attractive to the financial industry also make it an attractive option for the
music industry, where accurate, real-time ownership data will grease the wheels
for the money to flow to songwriters and copyright owners with less
overhead," says ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews. "It is not a panacea to
solve the music industry's problems, but we see potential in the future as one
of many data initiatives the industry should be exploring."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

So far, though, the music business is more interested
in a tsunami that may never appear. (And if it does, wouldn't it actually make
sense to hide? Does anyone ever look at a tsunami and think, "Hey, I'd
like to incorporate that tsunami into my business strategy"?) Gareth
Emery, who will soon launch Choon, wants to pay performers and songwriters
accurately and immediately by transferring digital currency into their online
wallets as soon as their songs are streamed. His idea is that blockchain
technology can help musicians run their own careers, without so much money
going to "intermediaries and middleman." It's a compelling vision,
rooted in the kind of techno-utopian optimism that has fueled the rise of
Bitcoin, but, like most music business blockchain ventures, it reflects a
fundamental disconnect from what the technology can and can't do. Apparently,
when you have a technologically innovative, encrypted hammer, everything looks
like a nail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blockchain ensures the integrity of information by keeping records of
it that are distributed online. That's awesome, but it only matters if the
information is actually present and correct in the first place. And the main
problem with music business record-keeping isn't that rights ownership
information gets changed without authorization (although that does happen
occasionally) -- it's that it's simply not there in the first place. As an
example, think about Spotify's failure to license mechanical rights to the
compositions it streamed, because it couldn't identify or find rights holders.
The problem isn't protecting the integrity of information -- it's gathering and
getting it right it in the first place.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The idea that blockchain will transform the music business is full of
this kind of magical thinking. Dot Blockchain's new file format could help
solve some of the music industry's problems going forward -- which could
improve efficiency in several ways -- but it won't magically fill in
information that's now missing. (Rogers says the project could solve that in
another way that wouldn't involve blockchain.) In a blog post about Dot
Blockchain Music, Rogers writes that songwriters now have no way to say that
they don't want their compositions used to soundtrack objectionable videos --
white nationalist rallies for example -- and this technology would allow them
to express this as a series of permissions that travel with a song. Cool!
Except that in almost all these cases, the makers of such videos already need
to get permission -- that's the law. The problem isn't that creators can't
assert their rights -- it's that they can't enforce them. If Dot Blockchain
gave them a way to do so, would YouTube implement it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Choon is even more disconnected from the current reality of the music
industry. The reason businesses don't pay right away isn't usually because they
don't know where to send a check -- it's because they'd rather delay doing so
in order to preserve their cashflow. Blockchain won't change that. Sure, it
could eventually help eliminate some of the middlemen who divide up pools of
revenue, but be careful what you wish for -- some of those same middlemen
negotiate on behalf of right sholders to expand the overall amount of revenue
to split. Without them, individual creators don't have much leverage.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So far, blockchain is still a solution looking for a problem -- it
hasn't fundamentally changed a single business, except for conferences about
blockchain technology (which, to be fair, are enjoying an unprecedented boom).
"Blockchain is about solving problems that only exist because the people
trying to do so have a fundamentally weird view of the world," says David
Gerard, a technology consultant who wrote the book "Attack of the 50 Foot
Blockchain: Bitcoin, Blockchain, Ethereum & Smart Contracts." (How's that
for a B'accuse?) "Here they're trying to use it to keep track of the data
but the problem is that the data is crap."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the long run, cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology probably
will change the music business -- just a lot less quickly and glamorously think
people think. In 2014, years before Ghostface went crypto, the
singer-songwriter Tatiana Moroz issued "TatianaCoin," digital tokens,
not unlike Bitcoins, that her fans could exchange for memorabilia or access to
exclusive events. It's an interesting idea, and Moroz was in the process of
helping the company Tokenly make the technology available to other artists, but
the SEC crackdown on initial coin offerings put those plans on hold. For now,
at least, any artist experiments with crypto-tokens will be overshadowed by the
SEC's efforts to prevent investors from being deceived by "initial coin
offerings."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Blockchain could also change the way the music business tracks rights
ownership, much as ASCAP's Matthews suggests. But it will probably do so in
ways that aren't especially cool -- or even, perhaps, visible. The idea that
rights holders will get paid the instant consumers stream a song just isn't
realistic -- blockchain technology simply can't process that much data fast
enough. But it could be used to compare rights databases in real time, flag
conflicts for examination and improve back-office efficiency for collecting
societies in all kinds of ways. This is a bigger deal than it sounds -- more
efficiency for collecting societies means more money for creators and rights
holders. But it's not much of a tsunami -- more of a steady, gentle wave. It
only makes sense for music companies and creators to test the water -- but
anyone who dives in expecting big waves might be surprised at how shallow it
still is.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In each of these pairs, one can easily infer which single was designed for top-40 radio (in this case, “I Feel It Coming” and “One Dance”), and which was catered to the artist’s original, core fan base (“Party Monster” and “Pop Style”).</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As Udell pointed out, however, the non-hit tracks still benefit significantly from their more popular pairings, performing as if they were standalone radio singles. For instance, “Pop Style” continues to over-perform compared to the rest of Drake’s catalog: the only other songs that have outpaced “Pop Style” so far in terms of volume are “Controlla,” “Too Good” (which features <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rihanna/chart" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Rihanna</a>) and “Hotline Bling” (which was released prior to the two singles).</span></span></div>

Her success, which has leant heavily on these double releases, holds valuable lessons for a mainstream pop world that still tends to center album-marketing strategies around one-off “impact dates” -- rather than the typical urban-music approach of feeding a continuous stream of content into the marketplace to maximize visibility over time.</span></span></div>

But then again, if you’re at a certain point in your career like Drake and you can put out a 20- to 40-track album and the music is great, why not do it? Whatever works for a particular artist, and whatever allows the data to talk back to us so we can become better marketers, that’s the key.”</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To understand the traditional hip-hop dream -- and the career arc Cardi B now finds herself at the top of -- flash back to the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/the-notorious-big" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Notorious B.I.G.</a>’s 1994 single “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JZom_gVfuw" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Juicy</a>.” That year had marked a pivotal turning point for commercial hip-hop, as the genre gained more clout for the uncensored lenses it placed on society, shape-shifting sonically with a fresh crop of predominantly East Coast talent. As the market began to slightly tire of the G-funk-swayed records of the West Coast,<a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/puff-daddy" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Sean “Puffy” Combs’</a> Bad Boy Records saw the opportunity for New York City to reclaim the hip-hop crown.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The label’s answer was B.I.G., an authentic, larger-than-life personality who had already built a reputation, from his drug-dealing past and Mafioso rapping talent in local neighborhoods and hip-hop radio. "Juicy" celebrated Biggie's transition from "a common thief to up close and personal with Robin Leach," almost becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy in the process, as the song became his first Hot 100 top 40 hit and established the Brooklyn rapper as one of the brightest (and most successful) young stars in hip-hop. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two decades later, a “regular, degular, shmegular girl from the Bronx" named Cardi B would provide her own rags-to-red-bottoms anthem, “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)." On her Grammy-nominated debut statement, Cardi makes it clear she no longer has to exotic dance or partake in reality TV stints; she can “pay [her] momma’s bills,” and red-bottom Louboutins and BAPE outfits are her closet’s norm. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cardi’s historic journey to the top also comes at three pivotal points in hip-hop history. First, the genre became the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/8086000/us-music-consumption-up-125-in-2017-rbhip-hop-is-years-most-popular-genre" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">most-consumed</a> among Americans in 2017 -- thanks primarily to trap’s streaming stranglehold. Consequently, ongoing debates about the <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7625631/rise-of-mumble-rap-lyricism-2016" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">credibility of mumble </a><a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7625631/rise-of-mumble-rap-lyricism-2016" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">rap</a> and its <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/21-savage-on-honesty-politics-and-mumble-rap-w494016" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">new generation</a> of viral stars have amplified to a new high. And in early 2017, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/remy-ma" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Remy Ma</a>’s explosive diss track “SHEther” <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7702268/remy-ma-nicki-minaj-beef-diss-feud-track" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">spotlighted</a> hip-hop’s failure to embrace more female MCs, while arguably <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7718164/nicki-minaj-no-frauds-hype-remy-ma-shether-response" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">calling Nicki Minaj's genre pre-eminence</a> into question.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the unexpected (and meteoric) rise of "Bodak Yellow" up the charts -- and in the nation's hearts -- members of Cardi’s fan base, #BardiGang, expressed a sense of “we saw this coming.” Mass promotional text messages to her A1 affiliates -- who supported since her independent mixtape days with KSR Records -- helped that momentum. So did constant and joyful career updates <a href="https://www.instagram.com/iamcardib/?hl=en" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">on social media</a>.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Promoting her “two mixtapes in six months,” Cardi spelled out an everyperson hustler trajectory for her rapper persona, while also gaining radio loyalty and community support -- something that <a href="https://pitchfork.com/features/article/10021-the-rap-pact-how-jay-z-and-hot-97-combined-forces-to-take-over-hip-hop/" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">had a hand</a> in the early success of earlier New York greats like JAY-Z. In today’s age of SoundCloud, YouTube and multiple streaming platforms, it’s easier for the music of the Lil Uzi Verts and Post Malones to gain an online presence first, before their creators step forth to truly introduce themselves and finish the job commercially. Instead, Cardi utilized radio and interviews more than those platforms to bring a tangible face and voice to the masses. Here'as the deal...</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Before (and during) the release of "Bodak," the rapper jumpstarted a grassroots campaign, touring with <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/the-lox" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">The LOX</a> and appearing in clubs all over the nation, including smaller towns.

This would all be magnified by the electrifying roars of New Jersey's MetLife Stadium -- five days before “Bodak Yellow” was released -- as Cardi B stormed out to perform “Foreva” in the middle of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/remy-ma" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Remy Ma</a>’s Queens of Hip-Hop <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohq-TE-xxBU" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">set</a> at Hot 97’s Summer Jam. For most newcomers, it’s great press to be asked to perform at one of hip-hop’s grandest festivals right before your commercial debut. For Cardi, it was more significant to stand among the respected originators she grew up on, as they anointed her the future of hip-hop, with the audience providing a gleeful co-sign.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">Constantly </span><a href="https://youtu.be/sdvYwep4Lzs" style="background-color: black; outline: none; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">pressed</a><span style="background-color: black;"> about alleged drama behind the scenes of the collab, Cardi B humbly walked away from any negative implications, instead promoting the song’s bigger picture. This business-savvy move showed that even if there was any drama going on, she understood the significance of not maligning the possible positive reinforcement of female </span><span style="background-color: black;">unity in hip-hop. It also highlighted, for the first time in a very long time, that two of the best female rappers in the game could co-exist on a hit without being pitted against each other personally -- hopefully setting an example for the future. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At this stage, Cardi transformed into a witty pop culture wordsmith who engages the public’s taste and interests. The rapstress has been abundantly clear that hip-hop influences society -- a commandment any true artist follows. As '90s babies stumble into adulthood, the entertainment industry has seen a pronounced surge in that decade’s nostalgia. Cardi exemplified this aesthetically in the “Motorsport” music video, wearing a <a href="https://instagram.com/p/BQCCzIjhaMb/" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">diamond necklace of Blossom</a> from<em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Powerpuff Girls</em> and an haute-couture BMX jumpsuit <a href="https://instagram.com/p/BaBGf0Rhs29/" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">channeling</a> the combative energy of <em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kim Possible</em> villain <a href="https://youtu.be/ajZtK4fkUP4" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Shego</a>.

<!--EndFragment--><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The most telling (and <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8062649/cardi-b-responds-selena-quintanilla-comparison-backlash" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">endorsed</a>) line of “Motorsport” is “I’m the trap <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/selena" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Selena</a>” -- a small attention to detail on Cardi’s hitmaking success and Hispanic heritage. Having grown up in the Bronx under her real name Belcalis Almanzar, Cardi B identifies as a proud Afro-Latina of Dominican and Trinidadian descents. Along with most Americans living in the '90s, one of the market’s first Hispanic icons she would grow up witnessing was Tejano music legend Selena. Like the “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom” singer, Cardi has been unapologetic about her heritage -- even using it to make a sonic change in the pop industry. The hip-hop market had not only been lacking mainstream support for female MCs; those voices had subsequently been absent in the trap circuit. Meanwhile, the idea of successful Afro-Latina rappers was even more underheard of. Rounded out by her "Bodak" flip of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/kodak-black" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Kodak Black</a>’s oft-mumbling “No Flockin” flow, and a breathy wordplay of sazón seasoning in “No Limit,” Cardi B organically grew into the musical Trap Queen she sought to be.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: black;">Fitting this role, Cardi’s drive meant eventually catering to the thriving and visibly present Latin music scene. Singing and rapping in Spanglish on Ozuna collab “La Modelo," the rapper genuinely flexed her Dominican and Trinidadian roots, while also displaying more range in her artistry. The reggaeton track -- which debuted at No. 52 on the Hot 100 and No. 3 on the </span><a href="https://www.billboard.com/charts/latin-songs" style="background-color: black; outline: none; text-decoration: none;">Hot Latin Songs</a><span style="background-color: black;"> chart -- underscored Cardi’s ear for what’s hot on the streets of the Bronx and her family’s current Washington Heights residence, while also reflecting her newfound worldly outlook. The rapper had been a fan of Ozuna’s previous work -- but while she and the rest of her Hispanic community were familiar with the Puerto Rican’s talents, American top 40 wasn’t. 2017 saw a sweltering amount of A-listers hopping on Spanglish </span><span style="background-color: black;">remixes and collabs, but none truly captured the culture’s essence from all involved parties quite like “La Modelo,” which helped Ozuna capture his biggest crossover hit to date.</span></span></span></div>

<!--EndFragment--><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today’s age of hip-hop sometimes gives the impression that a rapper must continually be dropping singles and features to stay relevant, even in the midst of their dominance. Cardi B’s more slow-burning approach places her in boss mode over her career’s destiny and development, her listeners forced to follow along. She's <a href="http://www.complex.com/music/2017/10/cardi-b-says-she-will-body-your-favorite-rappers-flow" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">previously acknowledged </a>studying her influential collaborators, as a means to expand her own arsenal -- a tactic <a href="https://youtu.be/N6XhzXB3oY8" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">used by the greats</a> throughout rap history. Her heavily anticipated second single as a lead artist, “Bartier Cardi,” adopted the style of <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/21-savage" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">21 Savage</a>’s menacing trap with her own sensibility. Dropped during the last holiday week-end of 2017 and right in time for New Year’s celebrations, the track honed in on Cardi’s knack for party starting. This would aid the song’s No. 14 debut on the Hot 100 -- with subsequent <a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/cardi-bs-bartier-cardi-lyrics-about-offset-sparked-criticism-but-she-quickly-shut-it-down-7681089" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">criticisms</a>about its rhyme scheme just making for an added promotional bonus. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cardi’s starring moment in "Finesse," her latest single, draws attention to how the MC eased her way into the company of pop royalty -- even receiving their daily <a href="https://twitter.com/charli_xcx/status/950054774002434048" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">shout-outs</a> and <a href="http://www.papermag.com/cardi-b-beyonce-made-america-2481019917.html" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">good graces</a>.

These “jamz” were the result of record label networking, as the flyest R&B artists co-signed the hottest rappers in the game through <a href="https://youtu.be/TvK0zgvX1uE" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">remixes</a>. New jack swing would also be the musical backbone for black media in the early '90s, none more important than the gangsta flick <em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">New Jack City</em> and the primetime comedy <a href="https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8092638/in-living-color-best-musical-performances" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;"><em style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In Living Color</em></a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Who from the newer generations of hip-hop would be up for paying homage to that era alongside Bruno Mars? While <a href="https://instagram.com/p/BYBqjcMBLR3/" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">the answer</a> could be other iconic figures -- <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/kendrick-lamar" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Kendrick Lamar</a>, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/joey-badas" style="outline: none !important; text-decoration: none;">Joey Bada$$</a>, Nicki Minaj, even Kodak -- it’s ultimately Belcalis Almanzar, the “regular, degular, shmegular girl from the Bronx,” a spunky natural for the camera she always dreamed of being in front of. As a product of '90s hip-hop and its code of hustling, Cardi B embodies how the OGs branded themselves to get into the spotlight, and that once they were in the industry, they remained true to their origins and influenced the entire soundscape. As long as she keeps all this intact for the future, the streets of hip-hop will continue to support her, while 2018 pop will be an exponentially more fun place for her presence. </span></span><br />
