Selected by The Washington Post and Pitchfork music critics as the best song of 2017, it was cited by many publications as one of the songs that defined the 2010s decade. The single topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for three consecutive weeks, making Cardi B the second female rapper to reach number one with a solo song, following Lauryn Hill's "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998. [8] [9] [10] It was Billboard's top female rap song of the year. [11] Cardi B became the first female rapper to have a solo single certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), when "Bodak Yellow" received the certification in 2021 for selling more than 10 million units in the country. [12] [13] Filmed in Dubai, its accompanying music video made her the first female rapper to have two videos on her YouTube channel with more than 1 billion views, as it joined "I Like It", and became the fastest solo female rap song to reach that mark on the platform. [14] [15]

"Bodak Yellow" received nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 60th Grammy Awards. [16] The song won Single of the Year at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, [17] Rhythm & Bars Award at the 2017 Soul Train Music Awards, [18] and Favorite Rap/Hip Hop Song at the 2018 American Music Awards. [19]

Composition and production

The beat for "Bodak Yellow" was created by Jermaine "J. White Did It" White, a producer from Dallas. [20] White and Cardi B met in New York due to a shared manager and decided to work together. [21] She stated, "every bitch that I don't like came to my head. And I pictured me, slapping it to them." [22] White has stated he has sometimes been "intimidated" by Cardi B's violence in the recording studio, and that "our chemistry at first was a love-hate one, because I was such a general at first, and then she became the general." [20] [23] The name of the song was inspired by Kodak Black, a Florida rapper, because Cardi B said the cadence of words in "Bodak Yellow" reminded her of Black's 2015 song "No Flockin." [24] Kodak Black later released a remix of "Bodak Yellow". [24]

The lyrics, which reference the signature red sole of luxury shoe brand Louboutin, discuss her no longer needing to dance (she worked as a stripper), taunt her critics that she's now more powerful and making more money than they are, and that it's because of her work ethic. [25] The video to the song has amassed over one billion views on YouTube. [26]

Critical reception

"Bodak Yellow" received widespread critical acclaim. 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." [27] 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." [28] 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'.." [29] The Washington Post editor Chris Richards said that the song did not need a hook because "every phrase she blurts has its own ticklish melody, its own whiplash rhythm." [30] Naming it the best song of the year, Pitchfork stated it "emboldened many of the people—especially women of color—who were marginalized for the very things that anchor the Afro-Latina star's impenetrable pride." [31] Dan Weiss of Consequence of Sound named it "the best rap debut in years." [32] The Ringer considered it the best female rap song of the 2010s. [33]

[81] Another article from the magazine in 2019 stated "she left an indelible mark on the summer of 2017" as "sonically, and lyrically, no mainstream song had the same flare as 'Bodak Yellow'" during the season. [35] In 2019, Pitchfork staff noticed that her "genuinely ground-up and people-driven" success showed that it "was possible—or inevitable, and a precursor for more success to come." [41] In El Paso Times , Dave Acosta opined that with the song's success Cardi B gave "a new voice" to Hispanics and women, further adding, "at a time when Hispanics of all nationalities are being targeted by various government and political entities and the war rages for women's equality in health care and employment, Cardi's opening line, "You can't (expletive) with me, if you wanted to", give us an anthem and a voice—one with a heavy accent." [82] In 2020, NPR Music stated that the "renaissance" of the dynamism of women in rap grew "in enthusiasm and breadth" since Cardi's "first historic run" in 2017. [83] With memorable performances at Made in America and the VMAs, Cardi's flavorful club banger has undeniably taken the crown as hip-hop's song of the late summer.
