For some reason, T-Pain decided to cover Cardi B’s recent hit “Bartier Cardi.” When I first read the headline I was confused as to why T-Pain would even cover this song in the first place since their rap styles are so entirely different. But after I heard the snippet, I can tell that T-Pain had a vision for this song.
Listen to the original here if you haven’t already:
Here is T-Pain’s snippet of the cover that Cardi posted to her Instagram account:

T-Pain wrote on his Instagram post, “It’s TMix Season,” and it certainly is. It is different from the “swag” that Cardi throws on the track. T-Pain gives the song a more autotuned feel, as always. There is also a lyric change, which I am not too excited about, but it would have been awkward if T-Pain was talking about giving “top” to rapper Offset, who Cardi is currently engaged to.
Currently, there is no release date for the full remix, but you know I am going to listen to it when it comes out. Who knew that two different artists could come together to create something so distinct? T-Pain really took a typical 2018 song and sent it back to 2009.
