Lil Baby - It’s Only Me (Discussion Thread)

[Chip Skylark]

Why these nikkas plateau artistically so earlyyy in their career. This isn’t bad at all, but it isn’t great either. Textbook definition of ‘mid’ .. homie coasting the whole record.. low energy, almost monotone .. it’s annoying cause all the elements are there. nikkas ain got no vision.

Baby has put out a lot of music in a short time span.

Since 2017 he’s dropped 5 mixtapes, 2 collab albums, and 3 studio albums. That’s a 2 project a year average.

And if you look at his numbers he’s been crazy successful.


It makes sense some of this album sounds kind of generic and unenthused at times. Dude has been putting in mad work

 

[Ohene]

Im actually surprised how mid this is

all 5 singles / videos he dropped were trash
not sure why anyone surprised lol

In a minute was decent

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Hey was trash is this good

 

[AQz]

I liked this.

 

[Ribbs]

Why have the two best features on the backend of the album?

I got bored by the halfway mark and don't even look at what song I'm listening to because it just tracks just bleed into each other.

He just sounded bored on this unlike his features from the past year or two.

Yeah ima make a playlist with like my favorite 6-8 songs and the rest I’ll probably never listen to again. It’s not bad but its too bloated and redundant. I hope he doesn’t make a deluxe cause he could just dropped like 17 tracks and made this the deluxe version

 

[FappleMeOff]

yeah…I think i’m done with Lil Baby at this point

shyt sounds so bland and uninspiring. There’s the occasional standout but that’s it

 

[Dwight Howard]

Production put me to sleep he doing himself a huge disservice. His peers get far better production and usually sounds good on them when he raps on him

 

[Harry B]

I don’t know about y’all but imo Baby has not dropped an album that isn’t the definition of mid. From his class Durk, Uzi, Gunna and Thug all dropped better projects consistently.

But the difference is that his peaks are much higher than his class peaks. Therefore, in the “make your own playlist”-era he’s on another level. But for us album-guys…

 

[born of fire]

this was some mid.

 

[Him]

Not finished sounds like that one song with Drake that came out last year

 

[SNG]

Back and Forth is that one. The way them 808's flip. Est gee was dope but Future would have did his thing on that track.

What’s mid about my turn?

What great projects does Uzi have?

 

[CrimsonTider]

The drums on this album are hard as hell

I don’t get the complaints. This is a good project.

It is weird that there is no Gunna 42 or Moneybagg feature
