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

[usr 3.5]

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

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”I” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]t 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.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

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.
