DaBaby Declares Himself Better Than Hip-Hop’s “Big 3” in New Interview.
DaBaby is making headlines again, this time for confidently placing himself above hip-hop’s so-called “Big 3.” In a recent interview with Apple Music, the North Carolina rapper didn’t hold back when talking about his place in the rap game.
According to DaBaby, he truly believes he’s the best rapper out right now… even above names like Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole. “A thousand percent. A thousand percent. Like you can go back to when I first started…I always say like — and I know a lot of people say they’re the best… but, like, I’m the best muthaf–kin’ rapper. Like, I’ve been saying it like and I you know I often say it when I do my freestyles or whatever,” he stated in the interview. “This is a phrase of mine, and a lot of people are familiar with me saying it, but I definitely do mean it.”
“And you know, it ain’t no of course I feel like everybody should feel like they’re the best, but that’s not… I’m not talking like that — when I say that. Like, I’m better than these ni–as. Like, I really mean that,” he added.
He continued: “I feel like I have the ability to, you know, go anywhere, you know what I mean, musically. Like I can literally do it. Even if we strip everything else away and just go back to being in front of a microphone and putting music on, like I can I can get in there with the best of them.”
“And it ain’t no, you know, it’s nothing to be frowned upon or whatever,” DaBaby states. “I would love to work with these guys. Like it take me saying that type of sh-t and then putting it on display with the music and you know putting it out for those doors to open up for these you know for me to end up in the rooms with these guys and on the records with these guys.”
Outside of the debate, DaBaby has been busy with his own moves. He recently released his project Be More Grateful and is gearing up to host the Be More Grateful Festival in North Carolina, which will feature artists like 50 Cent, Boosie BadAzz, Waka Flocka Flame, Trina, and Moneybagg Yo, among others.
