TOP 5 SONGS

5. Up

Cardi B knew what was up with this one.

Even though “Up” dropped a while ago, it still feels untouchable. The track is high-energy, cutthroat, and completely savage—a reminder of why it went so viral in the first place. It’s one of those songs that works anywhere: blasting through car speakers with your friends, soundtracking TikToks, or even being quoted line-for-line by your partner. Hearing it alongside the new tracks almost gives it “classic” status, like a cornerstone in Cardi’s catalog. It might not be the newest, but it holds its weight next to everything else on Am I The Drama? and proves why Cardi’s hits have real staying power.

4. Imaginary Playerz

This track really feels timeless.

Make no mistake, this is a diss track through and through—but Cardi delivers “Imaginary Playerz” with such ease, you almost forget she’s firing shots. She’s cool, casual, and effortlessly in control, which makes the jabs sting even harder. The beat leans into a stripped-back, 90s-esque vibe that lets her voice do all the work. There’s no need for extra flash when her tone alone sets the record straight. The way Cardi coasts on the production makes the track feel even more savage—like she’s brushing off competition without breaking a sweat. Honestly? She doesn’t have to try too hard, because she already knows she’s winning.

3. Outside

You can catch Cardi Outside.

“Outside” is pure chaos, and it’s a blast to listen to. Here, Cardi calls out men who cheat, lie, and mistreat their partners, then act shocked when those women step out and find better. Her bars are razor-sharp, petty, and honestly hilarious—some of them had me laughing out loud because they’re just that disrespectful. But underneath the humor, the message is clear: don’t play yourself, because you’ll lose what you didn’t know how to value. The energy is messy in the best way possible, making it one of the most fun and fiery tracks on the project.

2. Safe ft. Kehlani

Have you ever had someone just make you feel safe?

 “Safe” is about what it feels like to finally be with someone you can trust completely. Cardi opens up about how this man makes her feel secure—like she can let her guard down, fall, and know he’ll be there to catch her. Kehlani’s silky R&B runs glide across the track, blending beautifully with Cardi’s sharp but emotional delivery. Together, they strike a balance between fierce and tender. The song is sweet, warm, and deeply relatable, especially for anyone who’s ever had a partner that felt like home. It’s a refreshing softer moment on the album, showing another side of Cardi without dimming her edge.

1. Man Of Your Word

This track had me in my feelings.

This one hits hard because it’s about Offset, and Cardi doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. “Man of Your Word” carries a bittersweet weight, walking the line between pain and gratitude. She lays bare the issues, the hurt, and the betrayal, but then softens the blow by acknowledging the good times and thanking him for giving her their child. It’s emotional whiplash—in the best way—because you can feel the intensity in every line. Cardi doesn’t hold back her disappointment, but she also doesn’t erase the love that was once there. The vulnerability makes this track stand out, giving listeners an unfiltered look into her complicated reality.

RGM RATING

(75%)

I had high hopes for “Am I The Drama?”—and Cardi still managed to surpass them. The album is packed with feisty bars, flashy disses, and that signature baddie bravado we know her for. But what makes it shine are the unexpected moments of honesty and vulnerability tucked between the chaos. Cardi shows us more than just the flex: she shows the pain, the hurt, the gratitude, and even a little softness.

Sonically, it’s well-rounded—blending hip hop, R&B, and pop without losing her voice in the mix. I laughed at her wilder lines, felt the sting of her heartbreak, and even found myself relating to the more tender moments. This project proves Cardi’s more multidimensional than people give her credit for. Am I The Drama? leaves a mark, and it’s one I’ll definitely be spinning again soon.
