DaBaby has said he can rap on the same caliber as Eminem, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar.
The Charlottesville rhymer made the braggadocious claim while a guest on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion interview show, and said he avoids rapping about negative aspects of his life because he doesn’t want to exploit it, but that if he did rap at that caliber, he would be just as good as the aforementioned G.O.A.T.’s.
“If I don’t feel like you know nothing about this shit, I’m not about to try and exploit my real life anyways, I’m just doing me,” Baby said. “So when it come to like pain or anything that affects me or effects somebody I love I couldn’t dealt running round god damn exploiting that shit. I can’t do it.”
He continued by saying he’s in the “music business,” and that his music caters to whatever his fans are feeling at the moment.
“Ok you can put this beat on and I’ll go Eminem level on that bitch, you gotta get one of them to come fuck with me. You gotta go get Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, I don’t wanna disrespect nobody but boy, raise your hand,” Baby said. “I’m like that. N-ggas know too and I’m like that for real I don’t gotta talk about nobody else story. I’ll talk about me.”
This is hardly the first time “Bop” rapper has made such a claim. Moments before running through an L.A. Leakers freestyle back in February, Baby made similar claim and said someone needs to put him in the booth with a legend.
“Don’t get it fuckin’ twisted,” he told Justin Credible and DJ Sour Milk. “I like to turn people up, I like to make people feel good, but at the same time, you gotta get Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole for me, n-gga. Nas, JAY-Z. You gotta go get them ones.”
During another freestyle he delivered for Funk Flex in October, Baby rapped about how he’s lyrically on par with 50 Cent, Will Smith and even the late 2Pac.
“Try to turn me into a popstar forgetting that Imma pop off on any n-gga/ Try me, I’m gonna make it hotter than hot sauce on Billboard with them young n-ggas still sitting outside my opp house,” he raps. “I’m the only one with the most to lose but the first one to let the shots off.”
The latest slew of claims comes as Baby faced dismal first-week sales for his latest project Baby On Baby 2, which moved 16,000 album-equivalent units and didn’t even make the Top 20 on the Billboard 200. This paled in comparison to his prior release, 2020’s Blame It On Baby, which debuted at No. 1 with 124,000 album-equivalent units.
DJ Akademiks suggested the rapper was being “blackballed” by the music industry, a sentiment with which both Meek Mill and Boosie Badazz echoed in agreement.
“Charlottesville”? Smh… It’s Charlotte. Great proofreading/editing.
Lol
I can’t even name a song from his discography. Only thing I know with him is Under The Sun and that’s a Dreamville track
The only people who think eminem is good are white stans and uncle toms. Get that white boy faggot shit the fuck outta here.
So sad u exist. You know ur dad. I’m betting not.
Eminem doesn’t know you, and wouldn’t give a fuck about you if he ever met you. So go cry for someone else you little white fag.
Your a racist bitch, your brain isn’t big.neither you goof
Definitely good enough to win.
It’s all about favoritism though!
eminem the most overrated rapper in the history of rap. tricked a legion of stans to think he’s so much better than he actually is.

Facts. Go back and listen to sslp mmlp and tes now and it is all childish bullshit. It was cool when we were teenagers. The stans all know this too, but they’re too invested to accept the truth.
Your so fake bro it isn’t even funny… like any rapper you listen to is a fake phony that hasn’t ever done anything he lies about on a track. Oh it’s cool to shoot people? Does that sound cool on a track saying the exact same shit as the next guy.. younlike that ABC kindergarten rap, all these emknem haters some low find they’re racist ass on anything to do with eminem. Don’t be mad a white dude does it better in your own game. Don’t worry you still got basketball bitch
I respect the fact that he is confident and feeling himself, which is an important aspect for every rapper, but sometimes these new rappers just like to talk to trend and get a buzz, in reality he is very far away from even reaching the levels of J Cole and Kendrick Lamar let alone Eminem.
Eminem has been bodying every song since he pop up from black hate and ownerships to hip hop, and he has been ruling ever since.
Trending and getting buzz is just how you make it in this rap industry these days
He’s confused, he thinks that rapping like eminem means rapping about rough life experiences which shows he could never rap on that level cause that type of lyricism flies right over his head, there’s levels to it and he’s down at average level
