[42 Dugg:]
Got a lotta new flames need 'em blue
Three hundred fifty thou', times that by two
New down the roof, I still the sky
Peace to my grandma,...
In other hands, that much material could turn into a tedious slog, but Lil Baby manages to keep every moment fresh, finding a unique and unlikely midway between artistic inspiration and commercially viable entertainment.
He’s trying to tell a story here, but he’s just not much of a storyteller—his bars keep the narrative going, but he doesn’t offer enough arresting imagery to make his scenes come to life.
Despite being a record of two halves, ‘My Turn’ is an enjoyable collection of tracks for his loyal fans. He would do well, though, to stay away from the whiny sounds and rap with a little bit more clarity.
My Turn succeeds as a showcase of Lil Baby’s talent, but it still feels flat on due to its excessive length, the fact that every song is almost exactly three minutes, and the way it recycles 808 patterns and harmonic structures.
My Turn is a great trap album, although Lil Baby can come across as someone whos music has a hig work ethnic but not enough love for it. otherMy Turn is a great trap album, although Lil Baby can come across as someone whos music has a hig work ethnic but not enough love for it. other than that. there are 3 misses on this album and the rest is really good well writted and produced, one of the best albums from 2020…Expand

I had a really hard time trying to fight the huge hype of this project.

It constitutes one of the most solid crust I've ever seen to access the real matter. And oh boy, what a matter. Don't know where to start. Yeah, firstly, unbelievable to think that numbers and statistics compare him to McCartney and Prince when 'My Turn' came out. Tragic.
There is no work on his voice. I directly listened to the deluxe version: that's one hour twenty minutes straight with the same tone, only the delivering changing sometimes. It is more than an hour with the same mumbling tired voice. This guy is clearly aiming to three minutes songs. This fact is so obvious I calculated the mean duration of the tracks: it's 2.9 minutes/song (again for the deluxe verison). At least we see him trying to avoid to deliver a concept album with less than two minutes tracks. However the main issue appears here: Lil Baby has not that much to say. In more than one hour he certainly tackles some interesting and deep parts of his life but it always sadly ends up talking about who*s, drugs and mmh let's think... oh yes, money. I guess he is only aiming to be another meaningless and unoriginal rapper altough it appears that he struggled with deep and raw events in his life. This guy is the best to maintain just enough hype and mystery to make people listen to him.
Beats, flow and instrumentals are generic and recylced as I never saw before. Lil Baby obviously had to share the mic with friends and we sooo surprisingly find 42 Dugg, Lil Uzi Vert and Gunna among others on that record. Why changing a winning team huh?
I can't even understand myself quite enjoying this mess on the first time I listened to it. But 'My Turn' has absolutely no re-listen-ability. You do it once for fun, twice if you want to suffer but three times only if you are as brave as me and doing this to explain to others why they shouldn't do so.…Expand

He has less good songs than a lot of artists have good ALBUMS. He should go ahead and retire from music and let his (slightly) better accomplice Gunna be the main ripoff Thugger.…Expand
