Who Wants 50’s “Baby”?

Posted Thu 5 Nov 2009 6:20PM GMT by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void
50 Cent has released some garbage over the years but his new single, the almost unpronounceable "Baby By Me", is right up/down there, Famethrowa is compelled to report. Before we get to the content, it's interesting to note that the track is lifted from his new album, "Before I Self Destruct", which is allegedly set for release this month having been put back about 20 times in 2008. We're used to seeing delays in hip hop records, but this one really takes the Cristal.

The theme of "Baby By Me", which features Ne-Yo (in the song) and Kelly Rowland (in the video), is, this being 50 Cent, both clumsy and crass. "Have a baby by me, be a millionaire", Curtis Jackson ‘flows', using the cash rich subject matter for which he has become synonymous. The former Destiny's Child starlet must be on hard times to have agreed to this, gleaming in the face of all Fiddy's romance. "Baby you can start on top or be on all-fours", he explains, while flipping burgers before fleeing the scene in a flash car. A truly mind-boggling comeback, all told.
