Lil Baby & Megan Thee Stallion, On Me (Remix) | Track Review

Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby taps Grammy-winner Megan Thee Stallion for the remix of his drippy banger, “On Me.”

It goes without saying that Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Baby has been totally “kicking ass and taking names.”  He had a gargantuan year in 2020 and there’s nothing to suggest his dominance won’t continue.  After releasing the brief single, “On Me” in December 2020, he returns with “On Me (Remix)” featuring Grammy winning female rap extraordinaire, Megan Thee Stallion.

Produced by Chi Chi and EVRGRN, “On Me (Remix)” exemplifies the trap joint.  The drum programming is the defining feature, propelling both Lil Baby and Megan Thee Stallion.  Furthermore, it’s dark, set in a minor, with some minimalist keyboard work.  Like the original, his distinct flow with his southern sensibilities remains firmly intact – the best part of his performance.  Adding Megan Thee Stallion honestly ‘ups the ante’ on a respectable but not game changing banger.  No, he doesn’t exactly serve up a heaping dose of transcendent, game changing rhymes herself, but the contrast she brings, as well as her relentless energy, is a win.

“I don’t know what chain I'm puttin’ on
My Cuban link or my tennis (Ah)
I know bitches gotta be losin’ money
How they keep watchin’ me winnin’ (Watchin’ me winnin’).”

Final Thoughts

In my opinion, “On Me (Remix)” is more alluring than the original.  Why? Megan Thee Stallion. Lil Baby was fine on his own on the original, but he didn’t do anything extraordinary.  Again, neither does Megan, but I like the resulting product of this collaboration.  Worth adding this brief joint to the listening rotation.
