DaBaby’s hands have delivered most of his recent headlines but after showcasing his rap skills for the L.A. Leakers, the Blame It On Baby rapper decided to compare his skills to some of Hip Hop’s more beloved wordsmiths.
After getting rave reviews about his freestyle over Gunna’s “Pushin P” instrumental. DaBaby didn’t hold back in comparing his bars to two legends and their contemporaries.
“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.”
The statements brought plenty of skepticism from fans who not only brought up Hov and Nas’ accolades and intricate rhymes but called DaBaby delusional about his high confidence.
“DaBaby saying he is at the same level lyrically as Nas, Jay-Z, Kendrick shows what’s wrong with this generation’s rappers.,” one Twitter user wrote. “Charts and mainstream fame makes them think they are iller than the illest.”
Others on Instagram added regardless of DaBaby having a high level of flow, articulation and delivery, the substance in his music couldn’t line up with the four rappers he mentioned, even as his two freestyles with the Leakers emphasized sleeping with other people’s women, his riches, beating down his enemies and more.
DaBaby Gets Bowling Alley Ban As LAPD Investigate Brawl With DaniLeigh's Brother
DaBaby’s time in Los Angeles during Super Bowl week hasn’t been entirely peaceful. Despite the high praise for his appearance at Power 106, the rapper earned himself a ban from Corbin Bowl in Topanga, California, for his alleged actions following a fight at the venue on Wednesday (February 9).
According to TMZ, DaBaby may also face assault charges stemming from the incident where he got into it with Brandon Bills, the brother of DaniLeigh, his ex-girlfriend and mother of one of his children.

The stupidity his face radiates can’t even counter the greatness of these geniuses
Every now and then some stupid punk talks how he is better than the goats….. but none of them will still be in the rap game in 10/15 years
Somebody is gassing this lame up bro. His crew must be either really big fans or the biggest liars on the planet bro. Clown ass biittches bro. This guy literally takes a dump on the mic every time he raps. We bored bro. Zzzzzzzzzzz. Go back to Florida little dick.
Of course his crew is gassing him up. He blesses them from time to time. If any of em politely and professionally said what you just said, they’d get cut from his circle and fired. These mainstream rappers have big and fragile egos that their fans, yes men, and groupies regularly stroke and as a result we get them saying dumbass things like this.
It would be nice to see a Nas or Jay sit this kid down and tell him the reasons he isn’t on their level. Even Kendrick isn’t there because he hasn’t developed the longevity and catalog yet. Some things can’t be rushed
If 100 percent of your catalog is turn up music how are you on Kendrick, Nas, Jay Z
level
dude don’t even make sense
love the confidence but his confidence is bordering the line of delusion
I just listened…not yet.
Nas was writing incredible verses at 17 years old… These new ninjas are out they goddamn minds..
baby is soljah boy level, bow wow level, nick cannon level…..pure trash
Nothing wrong with having confidence he’s in his own lane, to each his own many as well as myself will say he doesn’t have the catalog or records to lyrically to go against Nas jay kdot or cole but none the less he’s doing his thing.
*Farts*
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah b***** blah blah blah blah blah blah blah n***** blah blah smacking the sh*t out you blah blah blah blah blah f****** your girl blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah—well you get the point. It might me double time rapping but the material is pretty much the same topic regardless of what song, freestyle,or beat that he’s on. He one dimensional, that’s the main reason why he’s not on the same level as any of those guys.
His discography proves he doesn’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to a Nas, Jay or Kendrick. Nothing wrong with being confident but you gotta think before you speak. DaBaby doesn’t have an album as good as Nas’, Jay’s or Kendrick’s worst…
Average
Let other people tell you how great you are.
He knows damn well he isn’t on the level of any of those artists. He’s talented but those artists are at the top and he isn’t yet.
You soundin Da Crazy my boi. Stay in your single lane lame.
