A career defining, universally acclaimed album that has stayed relevant in the hip hop consciousness, Lil Baby's My Turn has proved to be a behemoth of artistry in the current wasteland of tiktok rap. it is perhaps the most singularly effective hip hop album since MBDTF itself
similar to kanye's masterwork, My Turn explore numerous themes and traverses a range of emotions such as heartbreak (emotionally scarred) and perils of fame and deviating from your roots (commercial, can't explain).
Baby tries his hand at lighter, pop-infused records and succeeds even there - the bouncy and endearing "same thing" is a persistent earworm (I been the type of guy she like since middle school/ Never thought that I'd get famous, always know that I'd be cool) while Catch the Sun from the Queen & Slim soundtrack is a powerful illustration of black love. Equally poignant and fervent, it is the type of warm summer song you wouldn't expect from the former migos protoge
lil baby, however, far surpasses the artistic range of his labelmates. Grace, the strikingly effective collaboration with the stone voiced detroit rookie 42 dugg even echoes the orchestral grandiose of MBDTF
as of this thread, My Turn still remains at the top of the charts nearly 4 months after its release. the stellar deluxe additions doubled down on an already groundbreaking project, as if it needed any more legs. We Paid is the rawest and grittiest offering in rap since Clipse was active and only continues to grow in popularity
Standing tall amongst the garbage that currently dominates mainstream hip hop (dababy, roddy rich, drake) lil baby is a force to be reckoned with and this album solidified it
Every day we stray further and further from gods light
