Lil Baby is normally a man of few words outside of his music, but the Grammy winner has opened up in an interview with The Associated Press.
Remarks have been edited for clarity and brevity.AP: You’ve overcome being a high school dropout and bounced back from serving time in prison. How does it feel now to be successful?
AP: Your new album has 23 tracks. With that good amount of songs, did you think about breaking it up into a double album? LIL BABY: It honestly kind of me up, like on a day-to-day. I try my best not to think of it. I haven’t been talking to Gunna as much, but I talk to Thug often. It’s one of those things I try to keep off my mind. If I think about it too much, I get deep into it. It’s the fact that I know the situation of where we are and what we’ve overcome. I know them personally. I know what they’re doing and what they are not to a certain extent. To know the picture that they are painting isn’t really them.
As a rapper and a person, I’m leaning more towards decriminalizing lyrics, so it’s doesn’t get brought up in court. But I ain’t advertising or applauding the people who are actually going out here on nonsense and putting it in their songs. You got to get it how you live, but it’s a finesse. You can finesse it into the music. That’s the art of it. That makes it a craft. You can go out there and do something — good, bad, wrong. And then be able to come back and make it into a song.
