19:57Now PlayingThe music industry is still a boys' club but women are winning big. And in hip hop, it has never been a better time than now for female artists. But is their image or their art earning them fans?
Cardi B's mega-hit "Bodak Yellow" put her at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week -- the first time a solo female rapper can make that claim since Lauryn Hill with "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998.
There is no question it is a big milestone, says Page Six TV's Bevy Smith.
"Cardi B came up the hardscrabble way, you know what I mean -- she's a former stripper, she's a reality show person, and now all of a sudden she's topping the charts," Smith says. "We've never really seen that before, so kudos to her."
Cardi B got a big co-sign from superstar rapper Remy Ma, who organized a show of sisterhood on the Summer Jam stage. Cardi stood side-by-side with the biggest female names in the game, including Queen Latifah in a show of U-N-I-T-Y.
