On Friday, before taking the stage at Wireless Festival, Cardi B released her new song “Hot Shit.” The single, which is from her highly anticipated second album, which is still untitled, features Lil Durk and Kanye West and Cardi’s first release of 2022.
Last night, Cardi surprise-released the music video for the song, which is futuristic, heavily CGI and sees the singer-rapper sporting a variety of outfits, including one that harkens back to the all-white ensembles TLC band members wore. in his own “No Scrubs” video. That said, it’s Kanye West, who walks into the song after two minutes to spit out his own verse, who really shines.

West appears in an intergalactic location next to a motorcycle (which could be one of his next Donda Industrial Design creations) dressed in a high-gloss latex bomber jacket, a low-cut crew neck T-shirt, leather biker pants, and a pair of black gloves. . On his feet he has a pair of the exclusive Stomper boots, while on his face he wears a futuristic face covering (one of his best, let’s add him) that takes the form of a cat-eared helmet with a bright drop down visor. In the next scene, West swaps the helmet for a simple burlap face mask, which is loose and again covers the entirety of his face. Turns out even Cardi B can’t make her go maskless.
It’s more of the same than West has served us up over the course of the past year and it shows that the scholar isn’t about to give up his absurd use of masks. This despite the fact that at the Super Bowl earlier this year he found wearing a mask very uncomfortable and actually ditched it, while at the BET Awards last month, where he presented Diddy with the Lifetime Achievement Award, She was panting as if she had rushed to the Los Angeles Downtown event from her home in Calabasas.
While the internet has been trolling West for his mask wearing (“Kanye West up there breathing like Darth Vader with this mask on,” one user tweeted during the BET Awards telecast), we think there’s a universal warming toward mask wearing. of masks. lady rapper In fact, the most popular brand in the world right now, Balenciaga, has just shown its couture collection, in which models donned futuristic oval masks with latex body suits and metallic dresses, while the Spring/ Comme des Garçons Summer 2023 had models wearing animal face masks. Meanwhile, Loewe and Jonathan Anderson had models walk the runway wearing visors similar to those worn by West in the “Hot Shit” video.
With fashionable masks hitting the runway, as well as the world’s most influential rapper wearing them, we think it’s only a matter of time before we don our own.
