Lil Baby Addresses Fans Saying He Fell Off With A Measured Explanation

by

Lil Baby says he’s not fazed by fans on the internet who have been suggesting that his career has fallen off. Speaking about the topic with Charlamagne Tha God for a new interview, Baby explained that it’s been difficult for his fans to keep up with his dramatic evolution as an artist over the years.

“I don’t even care really. I be seeing sh*t like that,” Baby said. As for his evolution as an artist, he said: “It’s like a give and take to the point where, I kinda understand it. And what I mean by that is like I never did take them with me to transition. So through a transition, I only expect certain fans to catch up to it. Sometimes you gotta like dumb it down.” He added that he’s still learning how to walk his fans through the transitions of his career so the leaps are not so drastic.

The conversation with Charlamagne comes as Baby continues to prepare for his upcoming album, WHAM (Who Hard as Me). It’s slated for release on January 3, 2025, and is expected to feature collaborations with Young Thug, Future, GloRilla, and more. It’ll be his first solo album since 2022’s It’s Only Me.

Lil Baby Addresses Accusations Of Falling Off

Lil Baby isn’t the only artist Chalarmagne has asked about having fallen off in recent days. When Cordae came on The Breakfast Club, earlier this week, Chalarmagne asked him about the low album sales of his latest project, The Crossroads. Cordae argued: “Why spend all this time focusing on one week? We gonna spend all this time focusing on one week when there is 52 weeks out of the year. You wanna just give up on an album because it didn’t have a super strong first-week?” Check out Lil Baby’s full thoughts on the state of his career below.

J. Cole Drops New Song Teases & Vlog With “Might Delete Later, Vol. 2”

by

The Fall Off is almost here, and J. Cole is hyping fans up for it yet again with another Might Delete Later vlog. Moreover, Vol. 2 contains a couple of different song teases and snippets, fun and introspective moments while on his Big As The What? tour with Drake, and some other creative visuals and music video set-ups, paired with great editing and a vintage aesthetic, to bring us into the creative process behind this album. As with the first volume, it’s a pretty big hit and one that fans will likely appreciate a lot.

In it, J. Cole links up with Sexyy Red for the first time and greets Central Cee, Lil Yachty, Benny The Butcher, and a couple of other notable names beyond his Dreamville and OVO crew. The former label’s festival’s boss also includes a number at the end of this video, which will play a spoken word passage with a nostalgic beat in the background if called. It’s similar to other promotional rollouts and initiatives such as for Tyler, The Creator’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST back in 2021. But what makes The Fall Off different is how it’s bringing together a lot of different rollout elements to make a pretty complete picture.

J. Cole’s Might Delete Later, Vol. 2: Listen To One Of The Song Snippets

After all, fans were already going nuts off of the track that the North Carolina MC previewed on Might Delete Later, Vol. 1. Combined with some funny moments, interesting peeps behind the curtain, and an aesthetically engaging and grounded presentation, The Fall Off couldn’t come soon enough. But J. Cole will also have a lot to prove and live up to on this new album, a space that he still feels hungry enough to chase but wise enough to treat respectfully and in a fulfilling way. Some, such as Royce Da 5’9″, think he’s the last competitive rapper in the game.

“I haven’t taken a real deep look out into the landscape,” he said on The Joe Budden Podcast. “But from where I’m sitting it looks like J. Cole the only one being competitive. He’s the only one who’s rapping with the kind of conviction that says, ‘I still value the number one spot as a lyricist.’ I see a lot of the younger generations not really hanging their hat on just the lyrical part of creativity at all. They’re finding different ways to impact and resonate with people, which is fine.” Check out Might Delete Later, Vol. 2 in full with the “Via” link down below. For more news and the latest updates on J. Cole, come back to HNHH.

K Camp Reacts To Claims That He Fell Off

by

K Camp responded to criticism that he “fell off” while appearing on the Mr. Jay Hill Show, earlier this week. The Atlanta rapper explained that people use the phrase too loosely.

“I heard all that shit,” K Camp said firstly regarding the criticism. “Don’t no artist wanna hear that they fell off. But you got to understand, what’s the definition of falling off. N****s use that term so loosely. What is falling off? Falling off to me is fucked up somewhere under a bridge with no paper, with a box saying: ‘Can I get some food?’ That’s falling off.”

He continued: “When n****s speak in the aspect of falling off in music, like they don’t hear you on the radio, they don’t see you visually, it’s not falling off. Every player got an off-season … You got to go back to practice, you got to go out and get back in the gym and get your skill set up and come back out.”

In 2015, XXL included Camp in its Freshman Class. He released his latest project, Vibe Forever, back in July. He announced that it would be his final album with a major label. He’s taken issue with Interscope Records several times over the years.

In 2020, he complained about the lack of support the label was showing for his song, “Lottery.”

“Lottery should be the biggest song in the world right now,” he wrote at the time. “How many times we gotta keep putting up HITS to show y’all this shit real? We need answers @Joeyie!”
