"Bodak Yellow" (alternatively titled "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)"[2]) is a song written and recorded by American rapper Cardi B. It was released on June 16, 2017 by Atlantic Records as her debut single on a major record label.[3] Both Cardi B's flow on the song and the song's title were inspired by Florida-based rapper Kodak Black and his 2014 song "No Flockin".[4][5][6] The single peaked at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Cardi B the first female rapper to top the chart with a solo output since Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" debuted atop the chart in 1998. Overall, it made Cardi B the fifth female rapper to ever lead the Hot 100.[7]

Critical reception

Complex's writers called the song "a great, extraordinarily catchy record. The hook, the beat, her lyrics: it all works. Cardi sounds so sure of herself, it's difficult not to believe and rap along with every word. Her shit feels like early Lil' Kim, the way the fellas react to her bars. That beat drops and people go nuts."[8] When commenting on the song, Tom Breihan of Stereogum wrote "On 'Bodak Yellow,' Cardi uses [her] voice to fill up the synthy, minimal beat, using all the track's open space to project personality everywhere. It's a big, loud, brash, noisy song, and it's perfect."[9] USA Today wrote "The track’s name is a reference to the Florida rapper Kodak Black, borrowing the distinctive cadences he used on his minor hit 'No Flockin'. But 'Bodak Yellow' is no ripoff, and unlike so many other social media celebrities whose musical endeavors came and went, Cardi is a natural."[10]

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Picture Perfect, was released on June 25, 2017. The video features scenes with Cardi B in Dubai, riding camels through the desert. As of October 4, 2017, the video had been viewed over 200 million times on YouTube.[11]

Chart performance

"Bodak Yellow" debuted at number 85 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart during the week of July 22, 2017.[12] During its fifth week on the chart, it jumped to number 14, becoming Cardi B's first top 20 entry in the United States.[13] It later reached number two, just behind Taylor Swift's song "Look What You Made Me Do" on the issue dated September 23, 2017, before climbing to the top of the chart two weeks later.[14] "Bodak Yellow" is the first solo female rap single to reach number one on the Hot 100 since fellow American rapper Lauryn Hill's 1998 single "Doo Wop (That Thing)".[14]

Live performances

On June 25, 2017, Cardi B performed the song at the 2017 BET Awards afterparty show.[15][16] On July 18, she performed "Bodak Yellow" on The Wendy Williams Show.[17][18] On August 7, she performed the song at OVO Fest, an annual music festival in Toronto hosted by Canadian rapper Drake.[19] Cardi B performed "Bodak Yellow" during the pre-show for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on August 27, 2017.[20]

Remixes

A remixed version of "Bodak Yellow", dubbed the "Latin Trap Remix", was officially released on August 18, 2017.[21] The song features Cardi B rapping in the Spanish language and includes Dominican hip hop recording artist Messiah contributing a guest verse.[22][23] A second official remix was released on September 18, 2017, featuring vocals from Florida-based rapper Kodak Black.[24][25]

The song was featured in the television shows Insecure and Star.[26][27]
