As his catalog continues to grow, Lil Baby admitted he finally felt like an “artist” during a 2021 interview with i-D Magazine.
“At this point, I can finally say I’m an artist,” he said at the time. “Not just a rapper, because I’m performing on so many different levels at this point. Now people can say, ‘Baby’s an artist’. For people that have never heard of me, I’d tell ’em my music is as real as it gets, plain and simple.”
This detox song is just a super gremlin knock off. Give Kodak his flowers.
World population then was 3 billion. It’s 7 billion today. We jave internet. They had to buy albums for it to count. We can play albums We dislike as background noise by accident. None of these new accolades mean a thing in comparison to when we had to purchase albums because we truly liked them.
plus they release song’s every week
Yeah, it just isn’t the same other jay lol (I’m not talking to myself, lowercase jay is someone else). But yeah, it’s not slightly comparable. Most albums I’ve streamed is dislike and would never purchase, but I see if I like them. It was better when you had to buy physical music, because people like Lil Nas X and 69 wouldn’t be so big. Because it’s shock value that gave them fame, and the fact viewing their content is cost free to consumers. Online streams should never count as physical sales. Should be a whole new system in place. Idc if 100 streams counts as one sale. Thays still not an honest assessment of the consumers view on the work.
