Directed by David Thies, this TMZ No BS doc gathers their gossip crew to discuss how Cardi B went from Belcalis Marlenis Cephus in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, joined a gang, became an exotic dancer, then started to become an early social media influencer before becoming popular on the reality show Love & Hip Hop: New York.

In 2015, she made her musical debut on the remix to Shaggy's "Boom Boom and then covered British rapper Lady Leshurr's "Queen's Speech 4" as the song "Cheap Ass Weave." Within two years, her song "Bodak Yellow" was certified Diamond and won best song of the year from Pitchfork.

She hasn't looked back.

I really liked how this show didn't just show the celebrity side, but how she became politically active, using her fame for the right things. She has called attention to Social Security and asking for transparency in how taxes are spent, as well as endorsing Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, who she refuses to endorse again because of his stance on wars.

Today's rap isn't something I know much about, so I use these Tubi shows to get up to date. Sure, I'm still behind because I'm old, but they at least help me to know a little bit about things that are rapidly passing me by.
