Street Gossip appropriately opens up with “Global,” giving listeners insight to Lil Baby’s current mental state. This record is an introspective joint that delivers scattered recollections of his past, while acknowledging how much his life has changed in a short amount of time. He raps “Made myself a millionaire, only took a year, dawg/Thinkin’ bout what I been through, I can make a tear fall/Late night with them youngins, we was creepin’, could’ve killed y’all/We ain’t gon’ do that internet beefin’, that’s for bitches, dawg.” Baby’s effective use of melody-based rapping, reminiscent of prime Thugger, makes for a compelling listen throughout. Joints like “This Week” and the eerie Metro Boomin produced slapper “Ready” with Gunna exemplifies why even with his content based in the streets, he has had great mainstream success.
