I disagree that lil baby is the top artist because same as any other rapper the rap and speak on things that they went through or are going through in life as of now, any other rapper does that. Their telling their side of the story, and there is some people out there that can relate to their story or the facts that their saying in the music. I would say that their is not any top rapper in the music industry.

Frankfother. I definitely agree with this because Lil Baby is fire and was dropping straight bangers during quarantine and last year also.
Woah: #6 on the billboards for 32 weeks
Sum 2 prove: #9 on the billboards with only 2 weeks on the charts
We paid ft 42 Dugg: Peaked at #4 last summer during quarantine for about a week
Those were some of his songs that hit the billboards, he definitely has talent and has a long way to improve and be a overall better rapper
The bigger picture, a song about how black lives are being treated horribly/police brutality was nominated for the grammy awards but sadly didn’t win.

Honestly, I agree with this article because Lil Baby has a lot of talent but I feel like Polo G should’ve got #1 because in basically every song he makes it talks about what he faced and saw also it talks about how he survived the violent streets of Chicago, and not just that he made just two albums and they were both masterpieces.

Daly – This article really surprised me that lil baby is growing at a fast rate and leaving his counterpart gunna in a slower growth rate. But I also think that lil Uzi was not mention a surprising thing because of how he had one of the top 5 streaming album this year also.

Belmares, I like this article a lot and agree with it because I’m a big Lil baby fan and do agree that he was a top rapper of 2020, telling stories in his songs and giving life lessons in them. Liked the survey on how they talked about the rappers other people liked like drake and da baby. really nice and developed article with the info they had.

BELMARES, love the topic when it comes to music, and I agree, Lil Baby is one of the best rappers out there since he doesn’t just talk about random stuff in his music he talks about stuff we can feed off from.

There were some sentences that need fixing and proper punctuation, but other than that I liked the article topic.
