I can't lie I know Baby more for that Axe commercial than an actual song. Couldn't name 5 of his.

It’s 100% true. Carti might say 15 words his whole performance. He do under the bare minimum

Cart at this point is mr rolling loud. His performances on average get the highest views. His sets are raucous and those kids are going crazy. Why lie about a google?

Fans are turning on rap. This young generation is more into conscious shyt now. I barely hear trap music being played out of car windows anymore. It's the era of psychedelics and mental health now. Conscious rap about to boom again over the next two decades.

This cap, but I like your opinion

I thought we was talking about actual performances not crowd reaction. Anybody can post good crowd reaction


But I’m also willing to bet there is a percentage of people within 1.5 million view difference between my video and yours that would buy a Carti ticket over a Baby one

Afterall this is governed by math right? :mjgrin:

definitely needs a co-headliner or a couple co-headliners…in a summer touring season that has A-Listers like Drake and Beyoncé on the road Lil Baby has to have more on the card than Rylo Rodriguez to compete for a finite amount of dollars …Baby and Future should’ve toured together

The vast majority of rappers old/new are trash performers so I think some of y'all are severely overplaying this notion that's to blame for his subpar ticket sales. I think the issue is Baby's core fanbase is almost exclusively young black males. He's one of the voices of the streets right now but only tapping into that market severely limits his touring potential.

His music doesn't seem to be resonating with Black women, White girls, Cacs and Latinos like that. Apart from Carti and Uzi, a lot of these rappers under 30 seem to be suffering the same exact fate.
They need the older demos to survive. The younger people will be on you in January and could be totally done with you by December. You’re lucky if you last 2 or 3 years now. I don’t get what rappers have against smaller venues especially the ones that think they’re popping. Smaller venues are better anyway... they’re more intimate. These newer rappers will have to see the writing on the wall soon. People aren’t even buying your albums You can’t expect them to pay hundreds of dollars just to see you and some Weak opener. You’re better off just hitting festival stages at this point
