Offset & Cardi B, JEALOUSY | Track Review 🎵

Offset, assisted by his wife, Grammy winner Cardi B, drops an entertaining rap banger with “JEALOUSY,” which samples Three 6 Mafia.  

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“T” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]here’s a lot of drama between you and your beautiful wife, Cardi B.” And, with that 🎭 Jamie Lee Curtis intro, so begins 🎵 “JEALOUSY”, a track credited to 🎙 Offset featuring his beautiful wife, 🎙 Cardi B.  After the mention of drama, the 🎙 Three 6 Mafia sample of “Jealous Ass Bitch” (2000) kicks in in all of its gloria.  The sample is a great component of the hard-nosed production by 🎛 OZ, Boi-1da, and Jahaan Sweet. The backdrop suits both Offset (verse one) and Cardi B (verse two).  The rhythmic nature of the beat totally kicks ass.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

You know what else kicks ass? The electrifying cadence and flow by Offset! It’s safe to say he eats the beat up. “‘Set, yes, nigga, don’t try me / In a Lamb’, I be damned if a nigga try me,” he spits, adding, “Gettin’ ham with the fam, man, a nigga gotta eat / Shawty, nuttin’, I’ma bust, I’ma trick for a treat.” WOO! One of his best lines, is the assertion, “I’m Michael [Jackson], I’m not no Jermaine / Jealousy, that shit gon’ eat your heart out.” As for Cardi B, she cries foul regarding others meddling in her marriage: “They’re too worried ‘bout me and my nigga (Huh) / You should worry ‘bout the nigga yours sleep with, hmm (Ah).” There’s also a clever Atlanta Braves lyric, related back to – wait for it – bitches. 🎵 “JEALOUSY” lacks substance, but it is an enjoyable rap banger.
