HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- In an extensive interview from his Atlanta studio, Lil Baby talks about music, his signature "drawl," his approach to success, the trap, why he rarely orders platinum plaques for his hits and what it meant to make Barack Obama's playlist and meet with Vice President Kamala Harris. The 26-year-old talks with MSNBC anchor and music lover Ari Melber, and answers "lightning round" questions about what he thinks of artists like Drake, Jay Z, Young Thug and Diddy. (This video is the entire interview; excerpts aired on Melber's MSNBC news show "The Beat").

"You be trapped -- and you don't know a lotta stuff -- you know what goes on *inside* the trap. So in these four years [of success], I've been outside the trap, and now I'm *in* the world."
That was one of several fascinating points Lil Baby shared -- and again, our thanks for having us at the studio!
Lmao
Awesome interview!
“outside the trap”…..for many, this will never be a reality smh. It’s sad.
Understand, the trap doesn’t have to be a physical place.
You could be trapped mentally, or emotionally
Question to ask yourself is…
Are you trapped?
And will you ever break free?
Bless
If people take the time to listen to what he is saying, instead of just hearing words that don't seem to make sense to them, he is very wise and incredibly intelligent.
I love how you rephrased some of his points, almost translating for some of us who don't quite understand at first run what he is saying. I have stopped, skipped back & listened again a few times with this interview, and I am fascinated by this humble man. I'm not really a huge rap/hip-hop person, but I like what I like, pretty sure I need to listen to more of Lil Baby & will enjoy it.
Cheers from your home state of Washington Ari! North of where you grew up, but still home.
Why don't you grow a pair and confront a rapper about their misogyny?
I must say, this young King has my respect. I have heard his name but was not familiar with his music. I wish him well because he is so humble. The statement he made regarding not settling or putting up his records awards was mind-blowing. When I put that up that means I accept it can't go any further! I have no limits! Yassss! Be blessed young King!
lmao...you have low expectations for males; oh I know...you weren't raised by one
@@johannesberg8649 🤡
@@johannesberg8649 millions of dollars from a craft he’s only been doing for 5 years, while you sit and type comments like this on RUclips. What expectations do you live by again? Your parents? How’s that working out for you, South Africa
Some of y’all on here are misunderstanding this comment. She is not saying anything bad about him. She said she was mind blown (in awe) of his humility!!!! Troll 🚨
@@Afriken28 I've learned not to argue with fools. Intelligent people, like yourself, understood my comments, fools and or trolls don't. I called him a young King. I thank you for commenting. Be blessed King!
His humbleness is such a contributing factor to driving him straight to the top....... 💯
Lil Baby a GOAT!
The top of what
@@levarjones4708 ...yo momma
❤❤❤❤❤
This kid is gonna be a billionaire. And quick. He gets it. He’s clearheaded and his eye is on the prize. He’s humble and focused. He’s incredibly smart too.
Let’s take a moment to apreciate & acknowledge the man interviewing Baby. He asked great questions, he let the person being interviewed do most of he talking. He wasn’t awkward and annoying and he was very respectful. He also seemed like he actually cared about what he was asking and about the hip hop scene in general along with Lil Baby’s life like his relationship with his Grandma and other artists. Great interview‼️
I AGREE
Facts
I agree also, lil baby was keeping it real. He has a long life of sucess ahead of him. Especially with his great talent and kindness. I wish nothing but, the best for lil baby. God Bless him, in Jesus name. Amen. him.
He did a great job. Better than most people who interview hip-hop
Right, it’s like they speaking two different languages but the conversation is flowing perfectly. Less like an interview more like a real conversation
He shining with no jewels on 💯
He has earnings and a ring on, so glad to see Lil Baby doing well.
He’s a brilliant brother.
Dude watch worth probably $500,000...
@@michaelathompson1685 it is
Rapper don’t need all that Jewelleries like tekashi
I love that, the man isn’t judging Baby for how he speaks and is translating everything he says into a understandable way to the untrained mind! I think it’s pretty dope!!
definitely, great interviewer and he was able to actually get what baby was saying without mixing his words
Well put 🎯
💯
He’s clear to get a plate and watch us play cards at the cookout !
@@4BredBud ...and do u think that u would be invited to his "cookout?"
Probably not. He's just an interviewer doing a job.
This Is Why I Love Him He’s A Different Type Of Humble
@@thatskrazy8145 so you somehow don’t understand what he’s saying and assume he cant read or write bc of it 😐
Lil Baby hella different, even though he been tryin' so hard to be a regular breed, he's humble and raised well too
You can tell lil baby appreciate these questions when he smiles before he answers.
Lil Baby it was so cool to see how really humble you are and also down to Earth. I am glad you got out of the "Trap" and are telling it like it is and not just one-sided! Great interview with Ari Melber!
Lil baby : "y' kno what I mean?"
Interviewer : " yeah I know what you mean" LOL
Bruh saying yes sir showing that southern hospitality. Dude is alright. His Future is very bright!!
Ari was a good choice for this interview.
He, like so many others that like the music has an admiration that those of us that are heavy hip-hop heads and rap connoisseurs genuinely see when it really is genuine.
Dude got on a suit 😂 i don't like this
The vibe of admiration is palpable. And the fact he dropped a biggie line gives him major points in my book.
100th like.
Man I’m proud of this guy took him 4 years to get to this level and he’s still humble after all the hits my favourite rapper
This young man - is blessed and humble - continue the success
@Pisha Pye That’s Crazy You Said That Because That’s HIS Favorite Rapper Too. He Says He Won’t Be Complete Until He Gets A Andre 3000 Feature.
lil baby dreads are tuff, sticking to the proccess is key
The fame clearly didnt get to him thats a humble dude
26:24 "Well that's facts" Ari did a good job on this interview, He threw in the lingo, and had a good demeanor, without coming off corny. 🤣
I appreciate you Lil baby and this interview! It was refreshing to watch and listen to!
For everyone going through something just know that God doesn’t make mistakes,you just have to let him take control. He has a purpose for you and he may still be working through you 🤎 Don’t forget that you’re loved sm and Jesus is coming soon
AMEN!!!🙏🏾
AMEN!🙏💙Thank you for that beautiful message.
@@nicolebrown1927 np, all glory and honor be to God almighty 💫
AMEN 🙏🏾
Great interview! This shows why he is so special and has God given talent.
Great interview. Dude is not full of himself and he’s goal oriented.
I’ll be honest. I wasn’t a fan of lil baby’s music but after watching this interview (and the interviewer really brought out his character) he definitely just gained a new fan💪🏾💪🏾
its like i was a fan of his popular songs, but i wasn’t interested in his interviews or anything. but now i see that he’s super dope personality wise.
Lil baby a wise man ✍🏽
Ari represents an entire generation that grew up loving hip hop and the culture that created it. He’s using his platform and intelligence to further the genre and art form while speaking his truth. Salute mr melber.
No tattoos and thinking playing chess instead of checkers. Impressive.
He has one of the best mindsets of any rapper tbh. He’s gonna be a great like JayZ and others. It’s all in the mindset
He’s so humble. It’s crazy.
Blown away how humble this young brother is. I was a fan because of my son Malik but he definitely blew me away with his presence and honesty.🇩🇴🔥🔥🔥👍
This young man has his head in the right place. So humble, God bless him.
Lil Baby pure talent and no gimmicks👑
“Lil Baby grandma vibes😁” I’m dyyying 😭😭😭😭
“You feel me?”
“I feel you.”
☠️💀☠️
SUCH A HUMBLE YOUNG MAN. HIS GRANDMA HAS TO BE SO PROUD OF HIM. I KNOW I AM.☺🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Lil baby is a real person..I respect him so much
Lil Baby my favorite rapper. 🏄♂️
This man is a pure blood 🩸 with the music. And artist at heart. Respect !
I have so much respect for Lil Baby. Especially after watching his documentary on Amazon the other night. 💯👌🏾
Ari did an Amazing job in this interview! The energy was so free and laid back, the chemistry came so naturally 🙌🏼. He had knowledge of the culture & was just and all around cool person to talk to. Congratulations to you Ari , and also to Lil Baby for both of your hard work & success. 💪🏼🏆🎉
If anybody thought baby didn’t have a studio they a fool
Ari’s love of hip hop is so cute
Ari is a real one. He educates me on a lot of rap history. He's always at the cookout!😁💙
This is a certified hood classic
This man just makes me smile so much and idk why lmao. It’s like he’s just being him. He’s not faking for anything. You can just tell dude has a good soul.
Same. I sitting here smiling like a proud parent 😊
no tats, no jewelry, no over the top gimmicks & hair dye lol. really being himself and making it work.. glimmer of hope 😂
Lol, he had on earrings and a watch but I get what you’re saying😂
What do you have against those things
@@Anonymous-ny7up nothing at all, I love them and so does he apparently since he owns so much of it.. but the fact that he does own so much and chose to do this w/ minimal jewelry was a statement that he was making..
That bag alone prob 7k or maybe even more 😭 watch prob like 300-500k
He’s a genuine good energy, the dynamics to where a white interviewer can show so much interests in Lil Baby is intriguing to see. Nice interview 💙
28:45 He said what he said in one of his verses! "Its enough money in this for all of us, I'll post your music"
Beautiful skin, teeth, eyes, cheekbones. He's always honest, direct, level-headed. A captivating star.
This dude is not cute stop being a groupie
@@A14-l5h are u dude if so thats real suspect
@@sharifs649 If he is a dude that's fine too. You're "suspect" for even commenting that and being so insecure.
@@alejandrosantos3839 I guess you must like missing, crooked, stained teeth, huh?
He looks like any dude off the street. You’re just captivated off the money and fame.
Lil baby is one of the most humble people and intelligent human being in the rap game definitely a 🐐
Funny when the interviewer says I feel ya.
Slip me some skinz. My brother
@@NOONEATALL555 he been to a few bbqs 🤣
Flashback to a 2Pac interview around this same age..crazy how times change
😂😂😂
Great Job Ari, wonderful interview with Lil baby👍🏿👍🏾👍🏽👍🏼👍🏻👍
An amazing interview. Great questions, great guest, great information.
Sick interview lil baby u one of the realest music artist out. Been following you since pink slip and my dawg. Always knew you were special. Keep going tuff stay on thes folks necks and keep talking for the people and supporting them. We love u lil baby. May god bless u bro
💥💥💥 This interview was AMAZING! From the interviewer and his genuine interest and wanting to understand Lil Baby’s answers, plus explain himself, to Lil Baby’s authenticity, humility, growth/intellect, focus and mindset. I salute both of y’all for being yourselves and sharing with us!!! GOD bless!
Lil Baby my new favor rapper… Fam straight humble plus he spit 🔥 and supa rich!!!! My boy blessed 🙏🏾
You can tell he came from a respectful family the way he says "yes SIR". Good to see those manners still being instilled and represented by and for the young in our community!
Im so I love with lil baby he’s so humble 💙
Shout out Lil Baby! Authentic, you deserve everything you work towards 💯
I like how he responds to - feel me? I love this interview.
Let this be a lesson to every network don’t have an artist interview someone they don’t like. Because Ari likes & respects Lil Baby he can translate and understand what Message baby wants to get across
Baby gonna go down as one of the best ever
No Lie
Bro really is humble and graceful for his position, really big on not flexing. That’s dope and appreciated from a rapper/artist
😂
His lyrics in his music is straight up flexing though lmao
@Sheldon Greene but that's entertainment when he talk about that stuff in his raps
This man is humble by his words .!!!!
That’s corny the me…That boy humble,he most definitely 1 of 1
Soon as I read this...he said it. It was SO 💯
Lil Baby looks so much healthier than he did a year ago and seems much more relaxed as well as being more well spoken, glad he has been good to himself this year
Lil baby has a genius mind so much knowledge, so glad he started rappin n outta the streets we cuda easily lost him long time ago to the streets n never heard any of his talent
LIL BABY THE GOAT
baby said “I don’t even talk like that” 🏆
Thank you for this!!
Lil Baby is an impressive guy, god bless him 🙏🏻
It's easier to be humble when you have institutions accomidating your movements, Lil Baby is humble regardless and carries himself well
@@thatskrazy8145 what does literacy have to do with the energy one brings in a conversation? One could be very well educated and be a pompus, bombastic nimrod or be less educated and be graceful. The words you use are the words you use regardless. Is he the most educated artist? I doubt it yet he carried himself well in this interview
Everyday mindfulness changes your life by living in the present.... 🙏🏾Amen ....... continue to excel Lil Baby.... stay blessed
This is the reason baby is my favorite rapper. Such a humble person
This was a great interview by both parties. Great lead in and followup and great answers with lots of detail following. I learned some lessons as an artist from the first few minutes of this interview and take heed to them.
Knock on wood 🪵Lil Baby .. well respected in his own environment. Anything I see I got to see it one time..... that the mindset toward success.
The music is great and the person behind it is even better
Mindset so different... respect blood for bring change to the hip hop world...💭💯
Only 5mins into the interview. Already love it. Dope interview. 💪🏾
I do love this guy. He not like the rest of these dudes out here now.
great interview.
only thing i didn’t like about this video is the naming artist point. i don’t think lil baby understood his question
Lil Baby, you one of the greats homie!
He’s so humble. His voice is so soft it makes me feel safe
U good?
He’s very down to earth and doesn’t let tittles get to his ego I respect him a lot
Very good interview
He getting wiser
Definitely
6:39 I know that as a jay-z quote not a biggie one
Biggie is Jay-z literal ghost writer.
Nice job, Ari! Blessings to Lil Baby! This is a young man of perspective. Just a heads-up Ari, it was Jay-Z and not Biggie who said, "you could've been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me. And I appreciate that." 😃
Actually it was said before both
@@MrBroderickg14 Which Biggie song?
@@marvind.rogers1706 wasn’t biggie.
@@marvind.rogers1706 slogan from late night television from back in the day
@@MrBroderickg14 We're talking about different things. All good. Blessings, my brother. 🙏🏿
Very educated young man it’s very rare to see young black men with the mindset that he has that thinks before he speaks and always had eye contact with the guy in the interview the whole time and he’s being himself he’s not jumping out of his lane trying to be somebody else not trying to let get the big head I love the interview I love how he answer the questions and I love how you kept it original I like how he keep it 10 toes down
I like Ari and I love how he finds ways to incorporate hip hop into pretty much anything he is covering. However, it's annoying how many times he felt the need to restate what Lil Baby was saying. He is speaking English you don't have to "White-splain" it.
Its for the people that couldnt catch all of what he is saying.
He didnt "white splain" anything. Reaching
I come from where where they call a
Trap and it’s really a trap, youn know what’s going on because you be stuck!
Lil Baby Goated fr
very humble
With his attitude, perspective and work ethic, Lil Baby gonna be in the game for a long time
Young Thug and Lil Baby will lead ATL like no other rapper has respectfully.
Did you forget gucci jezzy T.I smh they paved the way this auto and reverb and studio effects have made people millions with actually not dropping real bars. I defiently come from a era of bars and really I dont feel this generation is catching my ear thats just my opinion.
@KB GFX BIG FACTS
Definition of God given purpose
This is weird MSNBC lmao. You trying to keep up with The Breakfast Club now??
🤣 it's weird af bruh. Dude got on a whole suit
No, you're ignorant of this content at MSNBC. Ari been interviewing hip hop artists for awhile now.
@@MrTampaMan so what I got from this is "Ari Melber has been borrowing from TBC earlier than you thought."
@@scaggly9239 Its not borrowing anything. He's genuine with being a hip hop fan.
@@MrTampaMan so? It's the biggest genre of music 🤣 it's only right for them to try an get in financially. He doesn't even look like he knows the culture
Excellent interview
Lil Baby the realest ya heard me
That s right bro ,you're goals haven't been reach .Keep them hits coming .👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 Bless up bro.
Now this I definitely have to laugh at❗❗❗ lol baby believe that Kamala Harris is cool 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❗❗❗ Lil baby stop being fool when it comes to Kamala Harris 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣
Baby so smart
