Starting point is 00:00:04 So Little Baby is once again up to bat to try to find another hit for his career. Now, honestly, the most pivotal thing Little Baby did was turn down the ability to become Kendrick. Now, when I say that, obviously, a lot of people are just going to be like, that's blasphemous. How can you say Little Baby could ever be Kendrick Lamar, right? So obviously, they wasn't around in 2020. Because when I told you, what is that? What type of word is that? Y'all let me know. But anyways, when I tell you that little baby turned into prime Kendrick himself and a movement that needed some type of upliftment when it came to unity, a unity type of track, after the George Floyd situation, of course, in the midst of the Black Lives Matter movement, who came to our rescue? No, not white tank top.
Starting point is 00:01:06 He didn't come to our rescue, right? The one and only little baby came to our rescue with the track, the bigger picture. But guess what? Now, with the ultimate eyes of the world on him, looking at him as the second coming to Drake, people were saying that. Hopefully we don't have revisionist history. People were saying that Drake was being overperformed and outperformed. by Little Baby, especially on the track.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I think it was Once and Needs. I figured what the track was titled. I think it was Once in Nees. I don't know why I can't find it right now. This man puts out a lot of music. Yeah, I don't know where is that. Let me just type it, Once in These. When they just come out.
Starting point is 00:01:58 So around this time back in, okay, so 2021. When this track dropped in March 5th, 2021, which is a classic three-pack, by the way, by Drake. Another classic, but you know, people ain't going to say nothing. So anyways, um, once it needs, people were saying that little baby outwrap Drake. Literally, that's what people are saying. People were saying he outwrapped Drake, which go back and listen to that song. He obviously outwrapped Drake. I mean, it's just night and day. His current quality of music and the type of effort he was given back then. Now, one thing to realize is that young thug is back home. what does that have to do anything young thug is pivotal into making little baby seem like he can
Starting point is 00:02:52 rap again i'm not saying he's going to ever get back to the heights of when he dropped the bigger picture and then follow that up with outwrapping drake consistently right but you can have more people stopping the narrative that he fell off now how do you do that of course this man has already had tracks. I mean, little baby's really already successful and could live off the statistics that he's already garnered. But as far as a resurgence, ultimately he's going to need Young Thug.
Starting point is 00:03:24 I'm not going to lie, as far as Yon Thug coming out and saying whatever Wham, which is Little Baby, if y'all didn't know, you know, the lingo. Some of y'all don't really know. But whatever Wham, who's a little baby. So, when Young Thug says, whatever Wham says goes.
Starting point is 00:03:42 And then he follows that up after he gets out of prison saying, Wham, let's drop one on these rats, Peter, which, you know, with the type of stipulation he has for his probation, this man just does not care about going back to jail. I mean, honestly. So, um, little, uh, Young Thug is very pivotal into how people shift the narrative from you fell off to,
Starting point is 00:04:09 okay, his music is listenable again. So that's why when I get into his latest tracks, which is 5 a.m. and insecurities, I want to talk about a very patented flow that little baby goes to because nothing wrong with having your comfort lane as far as a specific style
Starting point is 00:04:31 that you want to approach every beat with. But approaching every beat in a similar fashion, especially when your voice sounds the way it does as far as it overpowering certain high hats and 808s your production should be drastically different every single time you come out if your voice is so overpowering to the point where it sounds like you're saying the same thing over and over and over sort of like the baby um you should switch up your production i don't know why i don't know why nobody in team told them this but as far as the track ban for band with central c that is the amount of switch up that you need when it comes to people not saying that you fell off because now the
Starting point is 00:05:23 different son the the different um beat selections makes it to where it's more refreshing whenever you come back to your comfort lane as far as that patented flow that you always do because let me tell you something out of all the tracks that you put out 5 a.m. options what's this? Roll the dice all 10
Starting point is 00:05:48 I mean these are just the same type of production I mean it's just it has to change up drastically there's a reason why when band for band came out with Central C and a lot of it has to do with Central C
Starting point is 00:06:02 I mean he's actually really popping there's a reason why band for band is your most popular track on the charts as far as all of your 2024 releases. So that should tell you or tell somebody that the drastic change
Starting point is 00:06:17 and beat selections is what's needed because of your voice seeming like you're doing the same flow over and over. Because band for band, I'm not even going to lie to you. Like his verse wasn't all that spectacular. I mean, it was solid, but the chorus
Starting point is 00:06:33 in the beat selection is really what took it over the top. If you notice, he was playing off of the chorus i mean uh we could go band for band forget that we could go uh n for m i mean obviously he's playing off for something that central c already uh laid the foundation to but as far as the beat selection that's the main thing i think he should pull away from his most successful track of 2024 so you notice i ain't talk about his uh last two releases five a m and insecurity it's because i don't have anything good to say about it i don't have anything good to say about his uh tracks If you keep going with the same flow, which is why when you had the opportunity to be a Kendrick-esque type of artist, when you put out the bigger picture, you just completely shut it down.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You basically said that's the last time you're doing that and don't expect that from you, which ultimately tells us that maybe you just don't want to be better when it comes to rapping. Maybe you just want to stay in your lane, stay in your pocket. And of course, that's okay. but like every owner of the athlete Ben Simmons will tell you. I mean, if you want to stay in your lane and not get out of your comfort zone, then ultimately, we're just going to say you washed up. So, hey, hopefully you're okay with that too. So anyways, click my link, sure in my bio.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about 5 a.m. 5 a.m. and the track insecurities. and also what do you think that little baby needs to do to ultimately make a resurgence from the fell off from the fell off allegations
