Cardi B in "Up" -
Capture / 20 Minutes
The clip opens with a shot of her legs, from the buttocks molded in transparent tights to the stiletto heels that can be seen crushing a grave… that of the year 2020. “RIP 2020”, with
Up
, Cardi B a decided not to let down, and to cheer us up with a title that speaks of her success, her money, her finery, where she shows off without restraint.
We will say that humility is not the style of the lady but her energy has enough to whip our minds fogged by successive confinements.
The codes of toxic masculinity
We knew, Cardi B loves power, and she likes to appropriate the codes of toxic masculinity: here she is in
Up
in a Bentley Bentayga, which she rides like an Amazon, as NTM sang her Benz Benz Benz.
She throws men away like paper handkerchiefs and treats them like bodies to be exploited ("Broke boys don't deserve no pussy", "No pussy for broke men").
This time, she clearly suggests it, she would see herself with a penis instead of the vulva ("If I had a dick, you'd probably lick it like a lollipop", literally, "If I had a dick, you'd probably suck it like a lollipop ”).
Fuck death
Once again, like
Wap
, Cardi B likes to shock (or try to), here attacking the taboo of death, which she angrily treads with her feet, or crushing the standards of soft and docile femininity, and heteronormativity.
We see her sometimes moving buttocks on a grave, happy to desecrate it.
And also give it to their heart's content to embrace the women around him, while singing his love to men, celebrating his bisexuality.

Hoping that
Up
makes us dance elsewhere than in our living room, and that Cardi B does not have to bury 2021 as well.
