[@JK-gm6kk]

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

[@nickmitchem1045]

He’s a business man, he’s not trying to just make it as a rapper, he’s getting his bread up with rap while tapping into other revenue streams. It’s not a fall off when it’s intentional

[@robotube7361]

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.

Lil Baby is doing everything to avoid any negative attention that can draw him and 4pf into a RICO case. He been participating in community activities, rebuilding his hood, open up a restaurant and do anything to rebrand himself. Atlanta will always rock with Lil Baby and know whats up.

I notice this Trend with a lot of ATL rappers like Future and migos before him. They come out a with a sound that everyone fucks and listens to heavy for a couple years then at some point they kinda burn out. It could be because they put out too much music in a short period of time. All the songs and albums start to sound too similar and repetitive

[@Erica-cf1xb]

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.

Lil Baby's music isn't that unique (not saying he's bad) overall and he's elevated around other artists in my opinion. He's not falling off, he's a successful music artist, but not a VERY successful music artist. Very successful music artists can sell out arenas by themselves like Drake, Kendrick, Eminem, and even artists most generally don't know like NF and Russ have as well. Numbers don't mean a thing in the long term if you don't have something that makes you stand out or a strong personal connection to your fanbase.

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.

[@thelazyalgorithm8164]

Lil baby is a fad just like Da baby. People are moving on that's how the rap game goes. It's not always the artists fault though. The industry is foul. Labels will oversaturate the market with an artist and pay for plays and other fake me out methods. Once the artist "falls off" they move onto their pre planned "next big thing" The industry doesn't care about artist. Hell they make more money when an artist dies. This too goes the same for everything around us. The phone in your hand assuming it's expensive. It will be out of date within 2 years. And that's by design. They will update your shit until it's unusable just to make you buy the "next new thing" Think about this. A GE fridge from the 1950s lasted 50 years without being unplugged. A GE fridge from 2023 is only rated to last 14 years. Everything they feed us is designed as a "fad" so that we keep buying shit. It's all greed guys

[@neverhavingfun]

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.

It’s just like EVERY other artist (outside of Drake and Kanye) that blows up. Their core base grows until they get national exposure, then radio stations and streaming platforms see them as a new cash cow and they completely over saturate the market. The core fans get upset because now they see many other fans as being on the bandwagon, and then the fans that only tuned in because they were popular get tired of hearing an artist they didn’t ACTUALLY like. Sales/numbers drop and they say the artist fell off. Rinse and repeat.

@@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.

[@isaiahmcconnell]

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

[@thedarkphoenix08]

@@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 💀

[@LargoBlack]

This man finessed the whole global rap game from millions bruh. If he really fell off, Baby still would be winning with the bag he made. It's fun to have big hits as an artist, but the real goal was getting your fam out of the hood. And that he did for sure. 💪🏾

[@ryanscott2745]

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

[@davidcoy9542]

la real bro

[@DW51380]

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

[@lukebogert599]

Ive never heard of these guys and I am genuinly suprised people like this. But music is really subjective. Nice video!

[@DzignsByKMay]

He is smart as hell. Even if he aint in music nomore. He is definitely building in other ways. Its always the same with artists they hungry when they come out so that is when they music is the best. As that money start rolling in the hunger dies down look how jeezy came out then fell back but they all still getting money and when the time come they hit hard again.❤

[@angeldiaz6405]

He used rap to get money and now is rich and wants to be a businessman. He never cared about rap and why should he ?

[@jokesonyoumyguy5086]

I believe that the energy you put out is the energy that you will receive. Maybe it’s because of the things he said about gunna. Maybe God saw him going in the wrong direction and this whole “falling off” thing is a blessing in disguise. Maybe his music was never that great and people loved HIM so much that it made the music sound better than it was. Your energy is everything and you will only be on the outside, what you are inside. Life works that way. Your ego will ruin you and God will bring you down to your knees if need be for you to understand.

[@Erica-cf1xb]

This Is very true.

[@TylerMadison711]

When you never expected to have any of this shit n you accepted you would be in the streets or locked up for your remaining years you think 176 weeks straight he charted n on the 177th week when he didn't it was a HUGE blow to his ego. It's all W's to him. If you want to go with it's hurting his pockets it's not...

[@FunkyJoe1234]

He need to Lock in with Ye as his Producer. Then its game over 🥱🏄‍♂️

[@saintfreezy6914]

glad to see it 😂🎉

[@viktorvaughndoomthevillain3747]

Ever since he let them rich dudes reverse oreo him he fell off 😂

[@LYNNroofingGal]

He learned the game is not worth it. Business is his focus now. Smart guy❤

[@bradshiesty4197]

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

[@Gorealaracer38]

Dumbed down music gets old FAST! AND HE LITERALLY CANT KEEP HIS MOUTH CLOSED.😤

Nobody say lil baby a industry plant😂they literally payed him rap and somebody else had to write for him¿¿¿

Be real nowadays we got popcorn rappers.

Like I said before rod wave is selling out arenas and nobody is talking about it

[@biizzlle]

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

[@poodahswipes]

okay i get roddy rich and chance the rapper but lil baby is still on the top 100 charts with songs he released years ago still releasing some hits to this day

[@Quionte]

Lil Baby started trending down when YSL got Rico'ed. He was locked in but his real camp got locked down.

[@gamingprince2882]

They really hating on this nigga cuz he hanging round billionaires to get knowledge of how to make more money? Aint thats why he started this shit anyways?

[@dade-0]

he did not fall of cause he isn’t talked about as much

[@szefkuba]

Every artist eventually hits a plateau in their career, hes been in the game for what? 4 or 5 years now? Of course the hype not gonna be the same but one things for sure lil baby is here to stay

[@keyondidit8118]

It’s goes to show that streams and actual fans are not the same. And those bots can only help your career so much without anything behind it

[@joshmayer3311]

As soon as he tasted the rainbow with raunchy rubin , his fans ran for cover.

[@christaylor7916]

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

[@uuuuuggggg]

The industry pumped him from the streams. Then it appears he believed his own hype and wanted the pay and clout to go with it. This is the slap back and its not real people for the most part when you have high streaming numbers. Huge legacy artists have to do festivals and/or combine to get people into shows. Areana's? a rapper. When? Yay, a few etc. but he was mainstream not where baby is at. So its going down and all the way down unless he has a G thang type song come out that transcends to everyone. That has not happened yet and likely never to happen.

[@Charlesmclark2]

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

[@spankhill7722]

When you are signing artists under you, that means you make money from other people. His music could turn to complete shit and he’ll still be better off than all of us for the rest of his life.

[@DavidFosdick]

It’s kind of like when future dropped DS2. Started being featured in almost every rap album released for the next couple years. You can’t expect that forever.

[@rednaskela4830]

This amount of songs having this short of a lifetime has to be the biggest sign it was bought. No way it would attract this much of a following of a mediocre album, not even Kanye or Drake would land this amount of their names alone.

[@Tragic_Magic23]

The hip-hop community would rather see you go to jail for life, than to evolve as a person. He changed, he got soft, he don’t help the hood, all that is people hating that they aren’t in his position. How dare he care more about his life than being gangster 🤦‍♂️

[@unathimasika9735]

He didn’t fall off the worst we can say is plateaud

[@naeb9486]

We live in a time where numbers are everything and it’s sad. It’s like if he hangs around elites he ostracized and if he hangs around the environment he was brought up in he’s ostracized. Black men please understand these “ppl” do not care about you and to get in “make your money” and get out when possible.

[@AudioBoyzEnt]

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.

[@shortspluggg413]

30 million monthly listeners on Spotify says other wise 😂😂 imagine a dude like this telling one of the biggest rappers of the century that he’s falling off 😭😭 Edit: ¥¥Look at all the bums below me¥¥¥ imagine being broke and crying about a random you will never meet ☠️

[@7inctus]

He’s not on the charts and all those streams are from his old music , he’s declining and not trying to get better, is what this video is about. People can still love “close friends” on Spotify but when he has to cancel shows because of low sales , that says something. Sure he still has his old run being played and streamed.

[@025Gamx]

Do you Spotify listeners can be bought?

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

Lil Baby should be at 50-60 million.

he didn’t fall off but he isnt what he used to be. It’s Only Me hits will never compare to My Turn hits.

5:27 lil baby the only artist to go number 1 w 197 units sold 😂

[@flysocietyotm]

This is what happens when you in for the money, eventually it will show. He aint fall off but he lacks the musical ambition we're used to in rappers. That's the difference between a rapper & a hip hop artist. He's a businessman, since day one, so tbh im not even surprised by his lack of ambition for the art

[@nolanft]

When asked why he doesn’t have tattoos, his response was, record executives and billionaires don’t have tattoos and that’s where I want to be. He essentially answered the question, $500k or lunch with Jay Z/billionaire, there’s more worth in the conversation if you know what questions to ask and how to listen.

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

So he dropped one number 1 album and thought he was a superstar?

[@Papy012]

Not a downfall, He still The GOAT of his generation.
