Do you guys think this was a good move for Cardi?
I saw someone tweeting about it that made me think. Cardi keeping Nicki at bay while she established herself helped set her apart, and also if she continued winning, kind of boxed Nicki out. Her buzz and also people rooting for her against Nicki has been working for her.
This is totally smart for Nicki image-wise, and she had the best verse on the song. Even if her verse wasn't necessarily crazy, everyone is saying Nicki "saved the song" or "killed everybody".
IDK. It was an interesting take on it. The only advantage for Cardi is more exposure. But Nicki gets the most benefit out of this situation.
Well it was just a given that NIcki would have the best verse
She's a crazy ass rapper. Her flow is sick.
I like Cardi but the verse was "cute".When it comes to flow, delivery, etc. You can tell Cardi was tryna give it her all but something about it still fell short.
Like NIcki's the type of rapper that can get bipolar and tripolar on a track - give you different vibes, make up fucking characters, like she's creative as fuck 
so it helps her. And she always been like that - it isn't something she "learned" during her time in the game like some on here suggested. She came into it like that. I don't think Cardi has that in her.
It's still a good look for all involved though.
They have different styles, so I try not to compare too much on their approach. Nicki's gift is definitely her flow. I mean, she gave you about 4 on this track. I think some of her punchlines and wordplay are overused at this point, though. But there's also something bout Cardi's delivery that I love. It's raw! Reminds me of Crime Mob or something. She gets you hype.
The best thing about this for Cardi is it shows she's not afraid to stand next to Nicki. And for Nicki, it shows she's not pressed by Cardi.
So, if it becomes a hit, its a win for everybody like you said.
