The Unforeseen Downfall of Lil Baby's Career... 

He is the true talent

Was he really? Does Gunna write records for others?

@@LiteraryPicks no

lol thats why lil baby was a lot more famous a lot earlier than gunna and gave gunna a following.

@@Ian-tp6muThank you for clarifying

He never stopped being at the top of the charts concert ticket sales are different from charts and streaming plays everything he goes to the top😂

Its not hard if u play your cards right. He didnt

A,l

@@Governlies37coping so hard rn lil bro he’s fallen off

He is just a hustler. Not even a businessman. Others saw something in him and exploited that. They made those songs for him but they alsotook royalties from those songs. All they did was use his persona and his status as a down to earth hustler to profit. He is just a thug from the streets who has that I dont give a s..t expression and attitude about himself. The moment he formed his label, I saw the beginning of the end. He got greedy and employed sub par producers because he didnt want to share royalties with huge producing houses who have banger songs and ghost writers. He obviously burned the briges with those who got him in the game by going on his own after 1 album. Dude, you dont do that- you pay your dues to your mentors. You pay them back by working for them and advance in business by staying loyal. he obviously doesnt know that much about music like those who coached him know. He doesnt have those resources. Now he is making mid level tracks without the services of producers and ghost writers of big ass labels. He was stupid to believe into his own hype. Rappers dont realize that the LABELS ALWAYS WIN. Very few independent rappers out there.

and what's his other revenue streams?

@@robotube7361 yup agree, he should've let the big white boys handle the business then he could've been the future jay z or kanye west. The liberal generations today are so rebellious

@@jamesfranko1568 he owns properties in NYC, LA, ATL, and i think a couple other cities. so real estate

@@CosmosExplorer42 only 3 properties which he uses for parties lol

This is the comment everyone needs to see!

Now I hear someone talking 👏👏

Thats also true and thats why he changed 4pf label name to glass windows entertaiment to avoid rico

@@PresidentOfficial😂😂😂

But Nah this makes more sense than anything

I think what happens is that lifestyle does not cater to real people with real problems. Like spiritual, mental, physical, financial, and emotional health. Too many people around with their hands out 24/7 and not helping the artist or truly loving them for who they are on a personal level. They can feel the lack of love, but they have to save face for those who don't care anything about them. But what they can do for them. That's getting played. It's been played out.

Future still has a following though

Nah future still going crazy. He ain’t got just one sound at all.

@@MaynoOE future did get burnt out for a minute when he was dropping too much music. Now he's back and he sounds good good again cuz he's been away for a minute

@@Theplaystands once you can prove you can come back time and time again you can’t say fell off that’s just a slump. Baby hasn’t proved he can come back time and time again over damn near 15 atp compared to future. You feel me?

Most of these artists do not have longevity

I remember when it felt like migos wd never fall off….

Lil baby is living off past hype, the mandem is finished with all due respect… no shade

Facts with all due respect he isn’t hitting like he was in 2020. He’d need to change his flow to something equivalent of prime lil Wayne if he wants to wow everyone again. I don’t see another hit charting from the flow everyone is used to.

he now makes same song over and over again, i dont give a shit about sales

doing tricks on it brudda stop it

lil baby been fell off only you listen to him

Why do you speak facts like this ???are you not scared?

He is right though exactly how i feel. Everything just sounds the same.

Exactly 💯

Exactly 💯

@@rujekonyamande469I agree i feel like after 2020 he stopped tryna improve his rapping and got comfortable casue he was on top of the rap game

You can not compare baby to fetty wap…baby definitely hasnt fell off at all

Fetty stopped his own career agter he met Gucci Mane, he said thats his idol and felt he satisfied his dreams and stopped rapping. Cant remember the interview he talked about it in

Fetty Wap sold alot more than baby...fool was multi hit platinum artist the fuzz just got him...he was the "blood bank" for the drug money both careers heavily funded by gang activity....

Drake got a writer sweatshop so he never falls off

long CRIMINAL career 😈

D rider

@@Rtbj335how

Lol. Very, very few rappers have a long life, period.

^ 400k first week on what?? His next album? You’re absolutely TRIPPING if you think he’s doing 400k first week on his next album 😂😭😂😭

Lil Pump is an anamoly from this list tho 😅 50 still selling out arenas for an album he made 20 years ago lmfaooo there's levels to this

i dunno about nelly 50 cent or Luda. They can go on tour right now and sell out. They stay creative. Wiz i think just chilled. Lil pump sucked and yeah everyone else just followed the same formula.

good point but apart from nelly your examples werent very good

Mentioning Fif and Luda in the same sentence as Wiz Khalifa and Lil Pump is ridiculous in itself

@@thedarkphoenix08 who is Khalifa is on a different level also, Lil Pump is starting to get old he’s a 2016 rapper.

I saw how you tried to slip in NF and Russ , these guys are trash , they are not successful or good

That's a great way to put it.

He is not versatile , everything just sounds the same after a while , compared to like NBA youngboy.

My guy you are a failed producer. Tf are you talking about? You should be the last person judging success with 35 views to ya name.

Trash take BABY FIRE 🔥

Its worthy of discussion. I liked everything you said but "yall are too quick to jump onto the bandwagon". Better that people have a discussion rather than being the typical "you feel off 😂" loser.

Having a discussion is enough to hurt your fee fees. Pretty soft man

@@JK-gm6kk Nah i just dont like how quick yall are to write someone off thats it.

Alot of people are talking like the genre as a whole has been experiencing a downturn lately. At least in terms of the numbers being a bit lower each year over the past few years. I think alot might be complacency like he said in the video. Also RICO is really fucking up rap imo, and the "lifestyle" isn't exactly sustainable long term. There's alot of huge names on tour this summer too, and I think there's alot of artists upset that they can't draw in a market thats so competitive rn. Just some thoughts

he was industry project his lyrics and rap were squirrel pre school level now the industry moving on from the babies

yup, its why there are a lot of people who probably have a great voice and potential career but theyres truggling to still put food in their mouth. All u musicians and artists working 9-5's and hustling the legal way i see you and one day youll have your come up keep grinding❤

Bc people were bored😂

“Every mansion party I went to in high school” your peak must’ve been in high school…cause this was a weird flex as an adult…

💯🎯

nigga he is a multimillionaire he already set for life 😂

Unlike many other rappers; Lil Baby is actually a smart guy lmfao. Willing to bet my life he has investments we're unaware about mane.

@@4hunnidbaby Except he has only 8 mil and with that money he wont last even 5 years. Set for life is 100 mil with staying in the game. It's not about being inspired. He formed his own record label when he was on teh very start. He practically burned a lot of bridges because of it. He might sound , talk and act like a smart person but in reality he isnt. The big mistake he made was leaving the label who actually produced his bangers. He started to get let fame get into his head. Watch how everyone will just ignore him and forget about him. You dont form your own label after 2 albums bro WHAT? To get into the game first u need to pay your dues and work for the people who got you into the business. All famous and successful legends payed their dues. This guy acted arrogantly and decided to cut the people who got him into the game and that's a big no. His star exploded so ofc nobody was stupid to attack him or beef with him while he was on the top. But he fucked many people during this period and bit the hand that fed him. Now watch how slowly as his star fades people will start talking about him how he is not all that and forget about him. He is worth only 8 mil dollars and acts as if he's billionaire lmao. Soulja Boy has more money than him :D

@@robotube7361bruh stop goin on google looking at net worth if a man makes 1 million off a show how would he only have 8 million that makes no sense u don’t kno what is in his bank account

Gunnq and lil baby are literally best friends

Hip-hop is in a state of limbo right now. New rappers doing solo headline tours aren’t going to sell out arenas these days especially in bedrock middle America. Only big time artists do.

People are tired of washing their own ass. So naturally they gonna complain about what is or is not working out. All noise.

Let them check the latest single

His last album did like 200k first week huh??

Exactly 😂

Facts it’s just his fans online defending him But cmon tickets means real ppl coming to a show wasting they earned money and he simply ain’t bringing the enough attention

Calm down lil bro, selling out a arena tour as a rapper is extremely difficult, only a handful of rappers can do it. I doubt lil Baby got the same popularity as Kendric, jcole, or Drake. He might not be growing like he used to but he’s no way falling off

I understand your perspective on the music industry and consumer products, and you bring up some valid points. It's true that there's a natural ebb and flow in the music scene as tastes evolve over time. Artists' popularity might indeed change, but it doesn't necessarily make them mere "fads." They can still have an impact and dedicated followers. Regarding the music industry, while there have been cases of oversaturation and manipulation, it's worth noting that many artists succeed due to their genuine talent and hard work. Their success isn't solely attributed to label promotion, but also their creative expression and the connection they establish with their audience. In terms of appliances and technology, it's fair to acknowledge the differences between older products and modern ones. Technological advancements have led to more features and capabilities in newer devices, which can influence their longevity. While planned obsolescence exists, it might not be the sole reason behind product updates. The rapid pace of technological advancement can be driven by consumer demand for improved functionality and new features. People's choices to upgrade devices or support new artists often come from genuine value they see in those decisions. Lastly, it's important to recognize that an artist's popularity fading over time doesn't erase their contributions. Many artists leave a lasting impact on culture and continue to inspire new generations. In the same way, changes in consumer products are often a mix of evolving demands and advancements rather than solely driven by greed. In essence, the dynamics in both industries are complex and not always attributed to greed. It's crucial to consider the interplay of various factors in understanding these changes.

This was the best comment here and should be pinned and like far more. The reason it isn't is precisely what is wrong with society and has everything to do with the video we are watching. You wrote what these young kids call "a whole ass essay" and they don't have the attention span to read it, so it goes unread. Meanwhile the "whole ass essay" you wrote is actually just a dozen sentences or so, maybe less, and has the most informational value. I'm ranting about a youtube comment, but I saw some serious symbolism in this for some reason.

Same thing happen to lil Wayne

I love your comment. I was thinking the other day that artist should start giving a special concert for people who did support low selling projects. Because these are the true fans.

When fans lose interest that artist falls off. It is the fans who make these artists rich.

Pop music is different from Hip-Hop… you can’t use a common pop artist and compare to a pandemic rapper

@@michaelkemas Yeah, that was the fault, but not that he can’t sell out

That’s where the fell off started nobody wants to listen to an undercover gay rapper

​@kaaronhudson8112 I got some bad news about a lotta big rappers brodie 😂😂

@@themacdaddydify I just wonder if it’s really worth it for them,but I guess I know the answer

Y'all are legit weird for blowing that whole thing out of proportion. I'm glad you hardly got likes on your comment. People like Y'all are the reason toxic masculinity exists. Did you say anything about meg or latto when they twerked and grinded on their female friends?? If anything is gay, it's that. Just stop talking

#truestory

😂😂😂💀💀

how old r u

😶🤔why??

When was the last time Baby had an actual hit?

@@michaelkemas he has more platinum hits than any of your dream rappers this decade

​@@HigherDozesDrake and Post Malone are laughing in the corner😂😂😂😂😂😂

No he isn’t. Nobody who isn’t a rider brings him up in any hip hop conversation. He’s been washed.

@@thedarkphoenix08last album went number 1 and sold 216k😂🤷🏽‍♂️

@@isaiahmcconnell yeah, you’re a casual. That only matters when you’re talking about Taylor Swift. We’re talking hip hop. I don’t care how much he sold, Sexyy Red and Lil Pump are blowing up too. Guess they should be in everybody’s top 10 too.

He also has more hits than everyone in his generation aside from yb you just delusional 😂

@@isaiahmcconnell “Delusional” yet you’re the only talking about hits here Swiftie. You clearly don’t know what “hip hop conversation”, if you’re talking about charts instead of skill, influence etc. you more worried about how much likes he gets flexing cash and if you hear him On the radio 💀

He got comfortable

The reality is...nobody is trying to genuinely help someone else just out of love. If there isn't an ulterior motive, ROI, or some kind of weird sex with a escort...nobody wants anything to do with it or hear it. That's coming from a real reality that nobody trying to admit to.

@@Erica-cf1xb I agree to an extent. Not everyone is crooked but a vast majority of the ones in power are. But again, if the old heads who have been screwed by the system, teach the youngsters how to avoid being a slave to a label and go into business for themselves. The big thing is, is remembering where you came from and the love you really have for your craft. 🤷🏽‍♂️ The gate keeping of knowledge is bad for business.

The mega stars are all on tour this summer too

50 cent is outselling everybody, Travis Scott , drake lil baby is not hot anymore

they always reachin tryna get attention

He learned the game isn't worth it? Wtf are you talking about lol. No, he's falling off so he gotta find another hustle

This Is very true.

Cause he ain’t in the occult Illuminati he Will never be talked about but he’s good

Dude that's what I'm saying. Everyone always has to hate on people man.

la real bro

people like Fetty wap and mc hammer have shown no matter how big your moment was the money doesn’t last long if you don’t use it right his jewellery habit alone doesn’t look good but he can always sell them if he goes broke. but He can certainly say had his moment in rap, wether it lasts as long as Eminem or silento he can still say he had a moment in rap history as his legacy. And can’t take that away from him And that’s coming from someone who couldn’t name one of his songs simply because I’m not a fan of his genre of rap in general I know his voice from being put over videos and his feature on schoolboy qs crash talk but I respect him none the less

Yeah it's called a pump and dump scheme been a thing in the fake music stream industry, financial fraud, and most importantly philosophy on all women
