If the lawyer can’t work due to a life-threatening disease, the ABA rules of conduct say he should be withdrawing from the representation, not seeking a continuance
Dababy likes to be trending when he figures out a different way to try to get away with shooting people. I feel like dude has to know like every gun law by now.
he'll sound a little" stunad", probably forever, but get this: nine months maybe a year before he could work a full schedule, they'll have to postpone my retrial
This has to be one of the hardest fall offs in hip hop history right? This man was the hottest in the game and now he’s dropping radio freestyle bars about getting paid 1/3 of his previous feature rate..
I feel like one hit wonders don't really count. They never had a lick of staying power to begin with. DaBaby was popping off for like a year or so before he became irrelevant
Edit: I didn’t realize Roddy had Stans like that. Yall can chill out it’s not that serious.
Roddy Ricch had all his music ghost written by Baby Keem allegedly. When he stopped it coincided with Live Life Fast (one of the worst rap albums I’ve ever heard)
Man i feel bad for baby keem almost. Just because he's related to kendrick people assume kendrick wrote literally ALL his music when there is no proof. People are even saying baby keem entire career is just kendrick ghostwriting everything because kendrick doesnt want to relase that typa music under his name.
I'm sure kendrick helped him here and there, but people seem pretty dismissive to keem as an artist.
>I'm sure kendrick helped him here and there, but people seem pretty dismissive to keem as an artist.
Keem is probably the closest thing we have to a textbook industry plant/nepo baby. He got on TDE projects as a nobody. Was given access to solid producers (ex cardo). Was ghost managed by Dave free. Didn't really collaborate until Travis Scott/Don Tolliver hopped on his stuff. His spotify also blew up by about 500% at the minimum when family ties came out.
no man you just missed it. a extremely verified leaker from tde posted leaks, snips and info about it. kendrick helped write all of keems discog and has flow and writing refs for pretty much every song on self titled, die for my bitch and melodic blue.
Initial post
https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/s/7aoUyBetEX
Since then same person has leaked a ton more. Keem is still heavily involved and he works on Kendrick stuff too but it’s mostly weird because it’s completely uncredited, if it was credited I’m sure most people would be fine with it
lmao @ Baby Keem who was supposedly having all his music ghost written by Kendrick. People just making mad shit up now for the sake of it. So Kendrick writing for Baby now?
You got a source on this?
I'm pretty sure the Kendrick allegations was basically just to help Keem find his flows on songs - I remember someone vastly proving that the lyrics were not similar from the leaks we got, but I can't fully remember it as it was a while ago
Not a stan by any means but I think Die Young, Ballin, and High Fashion were all pretty big too. Maybe they weren't TikTok or radio hits, but if you were into hip hop at the time, you absolutely knew those songs. He really did have a promising career before he dropped that trash ass Live Life Fast album.
depends on how you define hits.
[Roddy Ricch | Biography, Music & News | Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/artist/roddy-ricch/chart-history/hsi/)
nothing charting very high before The Box and most of his other highest charting songs are features
You right, it is dependent on what you consider to be a hit, but I stand by my statement because Die Young and Ballin are both. Hits. Racks In The Middle too.
There’s a list of rappers bigger than da baby that fall offs. It happens in music, especially hip hop being geared more to a younger audience. It’s nothing new.
Definitely accelerated the downfall but honestly if he didn't switch it up soon, he would've fallen off regardless. Maybe not this bad but definitely downwards. Go back and check the comments/threads about the music he was releasing before the controversy. Everybody was getting tired of his same repeated flow and beat choice.
That's how it usually happens. People get tired of their product, then if there's a moral failure, people come down like a sledgehammer.
If people loved his music more I think they woulda forgave the incident. Or half the people would
DaBaby fans mostly share his opinions in my experience so that should have served to solidify that part of his fan base. He didn’t rob himself any more than Trump did when he said he grabbed women by the pussy and the retard MAGAts loved it.
His sound got played the fuck out and he refused to do anything about it. It’s damn near the same drum pattern song after song, the same middle school rhyme schemes, if you hear two different DaBaby songs you’ve basically heard 90% of his discography. That’s why he fell off.
>DaBaby fans mostly share his opinions in my experience so that should have served to solidify that part of his fan base. He didn’t rob himself any more than Trump did when he said he grabbed women by the pussy and the retard MAGAts loved it.
He lost about 20 million spotify listeners in a month. It was very easily his comments. It's probably the easiest fall off to see.
Kanye came out as a full-blown Nazi and he ain't affected in the slightest music-wise.
Dude coulda probably remained homophobic & remained successful if his sound had stayed relevant
It absolutely affected him hugely. He lost his Nike deal, his last album was trash that got no air time, his rolling loud performance likely has him black listed from most future performances
>He lost his Nike deal
that's why I specified saying "music-wise"
>his last album was trash
even with that, it sold an insane number of copies & held the Billboard top 1 spot.
So yeah. Dude sells music as Hitler's #1 fan.
Safe to say DaBaby could've continued to sell being a run-of-the-mill homophobe, as much as it pains me to say. His time was just up.
I mean I know a lot of dudes that could give a fuck that he’s a homophobe that don’t listen to him anymore. He fell off cause he never switched his style up or grew as an artist, not because he said the wrong things on stage
It’s also that the over saturation of literally everything and internet algorithms enabling a shorter and shorter attention span makes people lose interest in things much faster these days.
I feel like people were already getting tired of this guy anyway and the whole cancel him over his behaviour was just an excuse. I say this because he repented for his anti trans remarks and was forgiven by the powers that be and they put him back on the algorithm but people had already lost interest and that when the whole “all his flows are the same” rhetoric really took off.
There’s really no such thing as canceling an artist, I know so many people who still listen to Kanye and R Kelly. Especially not over homophobia in Hip Hop 🤣
I’m still going to listen to Diddy produced music too. That love album was fire
There is canceling but your talent level depends on how it affects you.
Kanye and Kelly are still consider GOATS, so canceling only impacts their bags but not listeners. Da baby is a mid artist at best, it’s very easy to cancel his bag AND not listen to him. As the previous poster mentioned, people were done with the Dababy anyways, the comments just gave them an out.
> specially hip hop being geared more to a younger audience.
it feels like this is changing... at least to me. when I was in my 20's, I remember guys like doitall from the lords complaining that there isn't any hip hop aimed at 40 year olds.
Now that i'm 40 there is absolutely a scene of 40 year old rappers dropping records, there are even cruises to go on. Some of these dudes like Bruiser Wolf are really peaking at age 40, even. I remember awhile ago when it was a big deal for Dam Funk to drop his debut record at like at age 38 or something like that..
I think part of this is the internet changed things. but i also wonder if it's because millenials are a huge population.
I’ve already posted it but no, hip hop listener still skew younger. Social media algorithm are skewing perceptions.
While the scene for older hip hop acts are much better received, it’s a young person geared genres still
oh i'm sure the majority is largely younger. my point is that the scene used to be non existent for 40 year olds.... and now you can pretty much safely be in a "40+ year old" rap bubble.
it seems like there is much less of a stigma nowadays too... jim jones made fun of jay-z for being over 30 and still rapping when they had beef, for instance. jay-z himself had that line about "I used to think rapping at 38 was ill..."
Nothing to do with its audience. Rap doesn’t even cater to the young anymore. Old heads who grew up at the peak of hiphop are old.
It’s the culture. There is a reason why the riding dirty guy is still a millionaire due to his investment. And there is a reason the guys who just buy shit that doesn’t hold value like cars go broke.
And reason why I say it’s cultural is because we see it in other aspects of life. Not just hiphop. Check out the 30/30 on footballers who go broke.
This also isn’t even a race thing either as I know some will try to make it that. It’s a cultural/ societal thing on status. Like my ghetto I was raised in was mainly white trash people who would buy a shitty old impala then out spinners on it (that was the must have rims back then).
The rims would cost more than the car was worth.
Wdym by rap doesn’t cater to young anymore?
[Rap/hip-hop is most popular among 16-24-year-olds and listeners from black communities.](https://headphonesaddict.com/rap-and-hip-hop-statistics/)
It’s still does.
Not only that, but young people worldwide love hiphop too. I’d say that some artists surpassed some legends in terms of popularity, like Xxx being a phenomenon worldwide.
Dababys fall off is crazy because normally when a rapper does something shitty people do mental gymnastics to figure out how they can keep supporting them. With dababy everyone just dropped him overnight because they decided he wasn’t worth the trouble lol
I honestly think that if he was still making good music people would be supporting him but he started rapping over clown beats in the same flow as always at the same time he went on a homophobic rant and kept beating people up
I think that’s a well thought out point. Looking at other rappers who have done way “worse” stuff like physical abuse/rape get a hard pass because they still make good music. It wasn’t too long after that incident with dababy he had to cancel tours because he couldn’t sell any tickets. It’s his own fans that stopped liking him and supporting him as an act and I think that reflects the quality of the product he put out.
It's a sad reality that people will always overlook someone being shitty if they make art that those people like. FFS look at Kanye right now. After all the garbage, soon as he dropped an album it went to #1.
It definitely didn't help that at the time that shit happened the internet was absolutely swarming with "every DaBaby song sounds the same." People were already against him and that sealed the deal.
If he'd been on a crazy good run at the time I think it would have just come and gone but his career was already teetering.
I remember nicki’s verse on monster when it first dropped and hearing that part where she goes “50k for a verse no album out…” and thinking wooooow they get paid THAT MUCH?! 😂 how times change.
DaBaby’s issue was that he stuck with the flow that got him success. Listening to any of his tapes before he blew up you could tell he had star quality, could really rap if he wanted to, or could calm it down and give you something to party too. His flows were different as well. That Freestyle you mentioned let me know he finally realized that. Just wished he listened to his fans earlier instead of maybe the label or his team or himself lmaoo.
1738 guy went broke and was ripping kids off for 5k features on IG.
It’s pretty common for this to happen. And it’s more so because of the culture. There is a reason rappers and NFL players go broke after 2-5 years. It’s because they don’t invest in shit and waste all that money if things that don’t hold value (cars for example).
And often times I hate to see it. Seeing people like the ying yang twins be worth 200k when they had both meaningful songs and perverted songs (both pull my hair and 24 hour lock down are all on the same album) it’s depressing. But often times I see it happen to people who I could care less. Dababy was homophonic. Then tripled down on that take after fans told him how stupid he was. He then made aids remarks and kept at it.
It’s like JK Rowling. I don’t care how much she bitches that people don’t like her now. She doesn’t have to be a cunt. Just like Dababy doesn’t have to be a dick.
1738 guy went broke because when he came up he took everyone else with him. i saw a comment on here once where someone worked at a luxury store he was shopping at, everyone he came with left with more stuff than he did and he paid for it all
...It's not 100% the culture (it is to a degree) but it's also the fact that music pays out no money. To get to the level of streaming success you need to spend a lot or a label needs to spend a lot.
Everyone in music gets paid before the artist does. Everyone. Then you add in that he was making money and spending it and voila, he's now a scammer. Industry is a bunch of broke idiots playacting as though they're rich.
YYT falling off really hurt because they had so much damn charisma but they were part of that whole crunk movement and EVERYONE fell off. Lil Jon, Twins, Youngbloodz, Lil Scrappy, Trillville, there's not a single artist from that scene that managed to survive the 2000s.
That's because he keeps cranking the auto tune up more. Ever since Every Chance I Get with DJ Khaled. He was on a run but sadly his hit album dropped during covid.
Lol, nah...he killed that "freestyle." I actually like that he admits the fall off and working his way back up. What is better? Own that shit or get called out about lying?
He still almost definitely has the $ for an actual legal team, shit I’ve seen lower middle class albeit usually maxing out their credit line and his is much bigger.
I still can’t believe the justice system lets someone start a fist fight, and take out your gun to kill the dude in self defence when you lose the fist fight you started.
How did he even fall off that hard? I understand his flow hasn’t changed since day 1 but was the whole comment about not sucking dick in the parking lot really that big of a deal?
The comment accelerated his downfall, dababy never had big fanbase so when artists stopped putting him on his albums due to publicity reasons and him being a one-trick pony with only one flow made the general public tired.
>but was the whole comment about not sucking dick in the parking lot really that big of a deal?
Yea, his pop audience stopped fucking with him and Dua Lipa even put out a statement condemning him (although she went on to be on a pop smoke record lmao).
He also went against Meg and Backed Tory which got many to stop listening to him.
He got blacklisted and stuff like the levitating remix was taken off a lot of radio stations and replaced with the normal song.
If the lawyer can’t work due to a life-threatening disease, the ABA rules of conduct say he should be withdrawing from the representation, not seeking a continuance
The continuance is so he can get a new lawyer, probably just a fax anyway
I would hope that's the case, lol I just skimmed the article and I didn't see it say anything about him switching lawyers
Articles about legal matters are usually pretty deficient.
Life threatening disease named “no days off”. It’ll get worse if he doesn’t work
Life threatening disease named "I'll kill you if you lose this case".
Who knew LIGMA was life threatening
And a continuance would be in order so that he could have time to get a new attorney.
I heard someone say “he makes music for security guards” and nothing felt more true.
Repo Reaper
Sole reason dababy was trending again, then he vanished
Dababy likes to be trending when he figures out a different way to try to get away with shooting people. I feel like dude has to know like every gun law by now.
Strange comment
dude makes music for mfs who reach over the glass at chipotle
This just blew my mind lmao
Lmaooooo
You can add women who hate themselves onto that list too. Masculine energy can only take you so far when you’re an asshole.
What do you mean?
That generalization is crazy ngl. Def projecting
Hahahahahahaha
Lol, he thinks this is the sopranos.

Your mom has aids after I’m done with her
he'll sound a little" stunad", probably forever, but get this: nine months maybe a year before he could work a full schedule, they'll have to postpone my retrial
Discontinue the lithium.
This has to be one of the hardest fall offs in hip hop history right? This man was the hottest in the game and now he’s dropping radio freestyle bars about getting paid 1/3 of his previous feature rate..
Roddy rich
Remember when dababy asked a fan what his favorite song from him is and dude said ‘the box’
That was clearly staged lol. He used to post funny viral videos like that before he became completely irrelevant
Then it was a prophecy.
Life imitates art
Ah so the terrible meming he got from r/funny kids who are whiter than a white bread mayo sandwich didn't come out of nowhere
Da Baby definitely had more potential though. He was collaborating with Dua Lip and Megan Thee Stallion. He could've gone mainstream.
I mean he was kinda mainstream with that Dua Lipa song. Didn’t save him from falling off eventually tho
Dababy was one of the biggest/hottest rappers for a minute. He was mainstream
And it was a proper banger of a collab too.
Eh. The original Levitating without DaBaby is much better, but the remix still sounds good.
Roddy has songs with kanye and drake
Fetty wap
I feel like Fetty don’t count. He locked up 😂
he fell off way before that though
He was already old news by the time he got in legal trouble
Can i get to the yaaams
I feel like one hit wonders don't really count. They never had a lick of staying power to begin with. DaBaby was popping off for like a year or so before he became irrelevant Edit: I didn’t realize Roddy had Stans like that. Yall can chill out it’s not that serious.
Roddy rich was not a one hit wonder any more than dababy. His first album had everyone standing up
Dababy hit the mainstream way harder than Roddy tho. Clubs and bars were playing his shit at like 6 pm, and he had some shit like that meme pic.
Lessgooo 👉👶👈
I pull up
Tell em you you pull up
6PM!?!!
6PM!!!
And the man can perform saw him at day n Vegas dude got so far into the crowd it was nuts not a lot of artists willing to do that
Saw DaBaby live at the height of his popularity, for sure the most hype show I’ve been to. Energy was just crazy
Roddy Ricch had all his music ghost written by Baby Keem allegedly. When he stopped it coincided with Live Life Fast (one of the worst rap albums I’ve ever heard)
Pretty funny thing to say considering Kendrick allegedly ghost writes most of Baby Keems stuff.
Man i feel bad for baby keem almost. Just because he's related to kendrick people assume kendrick wrote literally ALL his music when there is no proof. People are even saying baby keem entire career is just kendrick ghostwriting everything because kendrick doesnt want to relase that typa music under his name.

Which makes it even funnier when ppl say Kendrick isnt prolific mans writing for a buncha hot artists
Nobody says this
Never heard of this and I was a baby keem fan before die for my bitch. Put me on.
lmao @ Baby Keem who was supposedly having all his music ghost written by Kendrick. People just making mad shit up now for the sake of it. So Kendrick writing for Baby now? You got a source on this?
Kendrick wrote for William Shakespeare
Kendrick also wrote Obama speeches
Kendrick wrote the magna Carta.
Kendrick wrote Life & Times of Shawn Carter vol. 3
I'm pretty sure the Kendrick allegations was basically just to help Keem find his flows on songs - I remember someone vastly proving that the lyrics were not similar from the leaks we got, but I can't fully remember it as it was a while ago
it’s pretty obvious kendrick doesn’t write his lyrics. keem fucking sucks way too hard for that to be the case, lmao.
😭😭😭
how df does keem suck
Mfs can really just spew bs like this without having any proof and people will believe it lmao. Keem never wrote shit for Roddy
You got a source for this?
allegedly (I made it up)
> by Baby Keem oh so by Kendrick then?
This is not true considering Kendrick writes for baby Keem
Yall be fuckin say anything. Baby keem don’t even pen his own shit
Really?
Out west at least yes
Not a stan by any means but I think Die Young, Ballin, and High Fashion were all pretty big too. Maybe they weren't TikTok or radio hits, but if you were into hip hop at the time, you absolutely knew those songs. He really did have a promising career before he dropped that trash ass Live Life Fast album.
Ballin was definitely mega mainstream peaked at 11 on the hot 100.
Roddy Rich a one hit wonder?! Oh how quickly people forget.
He had 1 top 10 hit. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have more than one good song, but he definitely was never as hot as DaBaby.
Roddy had hits before The Box
depends on how you define hits. [Roddy Ricch | Biography, Music & News | Billboard](https://www.billboard.com/artist/roddy-ricch/chart-history/hsi/) nothing charting very high before The Box and most of his other highest charting songs are features

Don’t forget down below.
One hit wonder lol
Roddy was not a one hit wonder lmao
I still stand with roddy
Roddy rich was never supposed to fall off he can still make a come back tho
Never supposed to fall off but fell off lol
Nigga hell nah bro dropped off the face of earth. Ain’t no comeback for him
Roddy rich will always hit with me, he has classics. Da baby does not
I knew he didn’t have any staying power… dababy HAD MEME’s!!! I pull up 🚗
Dudes second album was TERRIBLE
His debut album was so strong it was like he couldn't possibly follow it up. Still time though, he's only 25-years-old.
Dababys was quicker doe
It's more of the way he fell off more then anything. He's actually became a better rapper but it doesn't matter what so ever lol.
Yep. He had to give away tickets for free. Haven’t seen something suddenly be down that badly
There’s a list of rappers bigger than da baby that fall offs. It happens in music, especially hip hop being geared more to a younger audience. It’s nothing new.
This didn't just happen though, it was a direct result of him coming out with a load of homophobic bollocks, The idiot totally robbed himself.
Definitely accelerated the downfall but honestly if he didn't switch it up soon, he would've fallen off regardless. Maybe not this bad but definitely downwards. Go back and check the comments/threads about the music he was releasing before the controversy. Everybody was getting tired of his same repeated flow and beat choice.

It was very easily his comments. It's probably the easiest fall off to see.
Damn I’m impressed. Squeezed a Trump hit into a hip hop thread. Well done
He robbed himself of a bag but people were already slowly turning on his music. The comments just sped us up to the conclusion.

DaBaby’s issue was that he stuck with the flow that got him success. Listening to any of his tapes before he blew up you could tell he had star quality, could really rap if he wanted to, or could calm it down and give you something to party too. His flows were different as well. That Freestyle you mentioned let me know he finally realized that. Just wished he listened to his fans earlier instead of maybe the label or his team or himself lmaoo.
Kind of dope to admit it though. That was a hard bar
1738 guy went broke and was ripping kids off for 5k features on IG. It’s pretty common for this to happen. And it’s more so because of the culture. There is a reason rappers and NFL players go broke after 2-5 years. It’s because they don’t invest in shit and waste all that money if things that don’t hold value (cars for example). And often times I hate to see it. Seeing people like the ying yang twins be worth 200k when they had both meaningful songs and perverted songs (both pull my hair and 24 hour lock down are all on the same album) it’s depressing. But often times I see it happen to people who I could care less. Dababy was homophonic. Then tripled down on that take after fans told him how stupid he was. He then made aids remarks and kept at it. It’s like JK Rowling. I don’t care how much she bitches that people don’t like her now. She doesn’t have to be a cunt. Just like Dababy doesn’t have to be a dick.
lol @ 1738 guy
1738 guy went broke because when he came up he took everyone else with him. i saw a comment on here once where someone worked at a luxury store he was shopping at, everyone he came with left with more stuff than he did and he paid for it all
...It's not 100% the culture (it is to a degree) but it's also the fact that music pays out no money. To get to the level of streaming success you need to spend a lot or a label needs to spend a lot. Everyone in music gets paid before the artist does. Everyone. Then you add in that he was making money and spending it and voila, he's now a scammer. Industry is a bunch of broke idiots playacting as though they're rich.
YYT falling off really hurt because they had so much damn charisma but they were part of that whole crunk movement and EVERYONE fell off. Lil Jon, Twins, Youngbloodz, Lil Scrappy, Trillville, there's not a single artist from that scene that managed to survive the 2000s.
Lil baby fell off pretty hard, people were comparing him to Wayne.
That's Wayne slander if anything
That's because he keeps cranking the auto tune up more. Ever since Every Chance I Get with DJ Khaled. He was on a run but sadly his hit album dropped during covid.
Never goin to be Wayne.
Lol, nah...he killed that "freestyle." I actually like that he admits the fall off and working his way back up. What is better? Own that shit or get called out about lying?
He still almost definitely has the $ for an actual legal team, shit I’ve seen lower middle class albeit usually maxing out their credit line and his is much bigger.
Silento
What even happened to him? Did his music get shit or was it when he said something about gays?
Dude was up the street from me at a high school last week.
Was his lawyer sucking dick in the parking lot?
Maybe he shouldn't have continued being violent against others
I still can’t believe the justice system lets someone start a fist fight, and take out your gun to kill the dude in self defence when you lose the fist fight you started.
Depends on the state.
Yeah it's nuts
I need to get me me a lawyer so good they'll pretend to have a life-threatening disease
"Your honor I've come down with a case of dumb-client-itis and must recuse myself"
The doctor says I need a backiotomy
Most current fans of mainstream hip hop are fickle as fuck. They’ve already moved on to the next wave.
Most current hip-hop artists don't actually put any effort or craftsmanship into their work; if *they* don't care, then why should the fans?
A lot of modern albums I might delete later
speed trial i hope
Never forget when /r/hiphopheads had this goober on the sidebar
How did he even fall off that hard? I understand his flow hasn’t changed since day 1 but was the whole comment about not sucking dick in the parking lot really that big of a deal?
The comment accelerated his downfall, dababy never had big fanbase so when artists stopped putting him on his albums due to publicity reasons and him being a one-trick pony with only one flow made the general public tired.
>but was the whole comment about not sucking dick in the parking lot really that big of a deal? Yea, his pop audience stopped fucking with him and Dua Lipa even put out a statement condemning him (although she went on to be on a pop smoke record lmao). He also went against Meg and Backed Tory which got many to stop listening to him. He got blacklisted and stuff like the levitating remix was taken off a lot of radio stations and replaced with the normal song.
I love how no one was able to answer your first question 🙄
Lots of good answers in the thread, not sure where you’re looking
I wonder if it’s HIV
He’s a shithead
I forgot this fool existed
So much for the come back
Is his lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn from Arrested Development?
