Consuela is Consuela'ing

i was def assuming that was done intentionally but if it wasn't ..which is highly likely

that is a fuckin kii, and kinda disrespectful to 'net

Why did Jans approve of this?  :plzstop:  The entire song is LAZY as fuck

Quote from: Lucid Salvatore on September 19, 2025, 01:31:10 AMSo I just finished the album

There were a few songs I liked on the album, but more than half of these songs were filler

1. Dead
2. Bodega Baddie
3. Salute
4. Safe (ft. Kehlani)
5. Man Of Your Word
6. Pretty & Petty

Only 6 good songs out of 23 songs is a horrible ratio. This should've been an EP rather than an album. This album was not worth the 7 year wait and would've been more appreciated if released in 2020/2021 after she put out WAP and Up.

This album highlights her weakness as a rapper and lyricist. Many of the songs have good production/engineering, but she couldn't bring these songs to life due to her limited skill set. I actually wish Nicki had a few of these beats because she would've ate down.



Case in point:


Both of these songs share the same subject matter and share the same feature (Lourdiz)... but only one of these songs are fun.

Nicki knew how to use her clever wordplay and great flow to make this generic song FUN. Cardi doesn't have that skill.

most of consuela's "rapping" is a chore to sit through.

like literally draining as u try to figure out what she's saying

she should lean more into bodega baddie teas.

its a fuckin tea

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

And did they spell Principle wrong in the title? :dead:

Principal is an actual word :dead:  :uhh:

This album is better than I thought it'd be. Especially from the singles.

Magnet, Shower Tears, and Trophies are my messes.

Salute goes too.

i think he knows that babes. I'd hope we all know that considering most of us are past kindergarten (and most likely interacted with principals on a daily basis in school)

Dnfnnfnfnfnf

But obviously the name of Janet's song is pleasure principle

And principal , although sounding similar, has entirely different meaning(s)

It could indeed be a mistake. Or maybe it was intentional .

It's not Janet's song tho. So it's totally feasible for the title to be different.

yes, which is why I said it's possible it could be intentional babes.

But considering they sampled PP and named the song "principal" , a typo isn't out of the question.

This whole "two things can be possible at the same time" thing be beating some of y'all's asses.
