I’d love to see a WRITG? on Token. I really just wanna know what you think of him, so maybe so that after he releases his album he’s working on? I’d appreciate it :)
I think “they don’t wanna see us on tv unless it’s the news” is a pretty dope line, also I think there’s some good lyrics on emotionally scarred, one of my favorite tracks of 2020
yea but its pretty surface level bars. Not that theres anything wrong with that jus ppl gas it up like its kendrick level lyricism or smth. Hes shown a ton of improvemnt tho which is pretty impressive
Lil Baby the weirdest rapper because I have never wanted to listen to any of his projects, but I get excited when I see him featured on someone else's song
I’m not generally a fan of Lil Baby’s music, but I got MAJOR respect for him for The Bigger Picture. He clearly has some major lyrical talent even if he doesn’t always use it, and he’s a pretty smart guy- _everything_ he said on that song was absolutely on the money. To go from an atrocity like Yes Indeed (“Lawyer been chargin’, he Jewish like he voodoo!”) to The Bigger Picture is a level of character development I haven’t seen in rap for a _long_ time.
Yeah, hats off to Lil Baby for Bigger Picture. Songs like that, Self Destruction, and Dont Shoot have been done before in trying times, but they're somehow always a breath of fresh air. I truly think Bigger Picture is going to inspire more character development in popular rap songs/singles in the future just because of Lil Baby being mainstream.
1. Yeah, I'm not a Lil Baby fan, but The Bigger Picture is, without a doubt, my favorite song from last year. Honestly, I think part of it is the fact that it came from someone who we didn't expect it to. 2. Ciel. Trans me now.
I think lil baby has improved ALOT. Ever since he released the bigger picture. Lil baby has improved his rapping. And has shown so much potential. I am actually excited for his next album
Baby has been improving so much over the last year honestly, his features have all been solid and My Turn was a big step up from Street Gossip and Harder Than Hard. His older stuff is not the best music ever, but everything has been improving greatly for him, from flow to voice to beat selection. I have a feeling that Voice of The Heroes is going to show another step forward for Baby in all categories, can’t wait for the album
When I happen to listen to that kind of stuff I always feel like I'm going to die of boredom... I just don't get how people can find it interesting, exciting or enjoyable.
The thing is that gravy's lyrics are so utterly ridiculous and comedic that i would probably give him a 6 or 7 in lyrics because of how absolutely absurd they are
Hey CDTV, have you ever got into the more underground/alternative rap? I love your analysis and I would love to see your opinions on artists like Aesop Rock (especially with Impossible Kid and Skelethon), Brother Ali, Murs, Busdriver, etc.
I’ve been loving Lil Baby’s Music since I first heard him, my brother recommended him to me and I’ve been playing his music Nonstop, same with Young Thug and Gunna, he’s getting bigger and better as time progresses, you scored him above Trippie and NAV, not bad actually, even though tho I enjoy those guys as well, as always your videos are enjoyable to watch and thanks for speaking out your opinion, you’re awesome
It varies from song to song for me. I can't stand the songs that are coated in autotune. Ik he uses autotune in like all his songs but theres a nice sweet spot with the bigger picture, drip too hard, southside, etc.
It is really interesting to me how some people find his voice being great, for me it is unbarable honestly, and the main turn off, but i of course know that he has a lot of appeal obviosuly and i respect your opinion
I think you should do more of these videos, long style going into pretty deep detail about the different aspects of an artist. Even older artists that aren't so relevant some you personally enjoy would be interesting, because your insight on each of the categories that you broke Lil Baby into was put together rather elegantly, said in a concise well thought out response, and would translate well into the wide spectrum of hip-hop genre's that there are. I don't know if you've listened to BONES, but a video on him would be dope to see, along with Isaiah Rashad, K.A.A.N and like Mos Def.
I think I mostly agree with you in terms of his voice and his production. I think when it comes to his voice, I wouldn't want him to start using less auto tune when he raps and rap more naturally more often, and when he does use auto tune he should make sure that it and his vocals are mixed well. The Production on the other hand, even though I love The Bigger Picture and some of the songs on My Turn, i would love to see him expand out and experiment with different producers and beats and try some new things, an example of that is his new song with Kirk Franklin for the new Space Jam movie sound track, it's called We Will and it's Produced by JussBlaze. I would reccomend you give it a listen, it's pretty good in my opinion.
In terms of beat selection, I agree to an extent. What I will say is the new wave of stuff produced by ChiChi and Section8 are super interesting. These beats are more unique than the typical Quay Stuff, and they have a unique bounce.
Thats what autotune does in general. Kids try to say all rappers from the 80/90s all sound the same and yet the rappers they listen uses autotune that replaces their natrual voice with a robotic voice resulting in them soinding simular. Idk why gen z are so braindead when it comes to listening and observing obvious facts.
@@jayjohnstun2706 bruh thier are more lyrical and well rounded rappers today than ever. (Denzel curry. J.I.D Kendrick lamar. Joey bada$$) these guys are legends yeah Thiers shit rap but thier always been shitty rap crying over a whole generation just because some shit songs came for that time is fucked. It's like if I used some old Eminem songs from the 2000s to say that whole generation likes rapeing and killing women. It's doesn't work like that man.
Hearing that mashup between a Baby song with Flashing Lights' beat was a shock to me. I never understood the hype with Lil Baby because I felt he was incredibly bland, but maybe this entire time it has been a mix between a normal to above average flow with generic production. Maybe I'll have to start paying more attention to Baby.
cdtv im 14 and jus got inna nearly fatal car crash bro ur videos been getting me thru recovery i can’t walk rn but thanks for keeping me entertained 🙏🙏
Polo g isn't one of the worst rappers in the game. His lyrics and flow are great and he's dropped 2 great albums the main issue however is his production. Btw cdtv actually likes Polo G
@@kiasj1794 He's done many rappers in this series that he actually likes like Travis Scott and Ski Mask The Slump God. In this series he asks the question wether the rapper in question is bad or not. In those cases the answer is definetely no. I like Polo G as well and I'm sure he would give him a great score if he's so good at everything but the instrumentals
Idk what it is but we paid from the deluxe of my turn slaps so fucking hard for me, and was genuinely one of my favorite rap songs of 2020, along with the bigger picture.
I get the bit about the showing emotions. But I'm from Atlanta as well and I can promise that toxic masculinity is rampant in Atlanta or even the south in general. Bro just a product of his environment
Havent watched yet but i think lil baby has a lot of potential, just listen to the bigger picture, but as an album my turn was mid, i think he can drop amazing songs but mid albums hes better for playlists and features
@@chromedomo4826 statistics dont make it good, old town road is the most commercially successful song ever but that isnt the greatest song ever written it it?
Finally these make a return it’s been a long long time and I’m here for all these Also thank u for putting me on that Emotionally Scarred and Flashing Lights mix
Ideas for future worst rappers in the game videos, Lil Tjay, Polo G, Bobby Shmurda, Lil Tecca, Dababy, Roddy Ricch, Lil Mosey, Rich The Kid, Baby Keem, King Von, Tory Lanez, Fredo, slowthai, Dave, AJ Tracey and Aitch.
I definitely agree about his production it’s just not super interesting a lot of times. In my opinion Lil Baby’s a better rapper than Gunna but Gunna’s production is way better which makes it slightly more enjoyable to listen to.
I had an idea "worst rappers out of the game" list, talking about the rappers whom aren't putting anything out or aren't dropping their own songs and only help out with the songs being put out by other people

He’s an average rapper to me. At best he’s pretty decent and at worst he’s below average and forgettable.
The thing is lil baby is tryna tind his voice and delivery and he isn’t used to the lifestyle he’s living in.
