Lil' Romeo - My Baby Song Review
Lil' Romeo
2001 (SME/ Priority Records)First there was Lil Bow Wow, now Lil' Romeo is shakin' it up with his single My Baby. The 11 year-old rapper's catchy single uses a music loop from the Jackson 5 hit I Want You Back. The song is about Lil' Romeo being on his own and all the girls wanting to be his girlfriend. It's a fun hip-hop dance track that'll get your party jumpin'.
Lil' Romeo is young and cute - but don't let that fool ya. He's a skilled rhymer that can spit the words out like it's no one's business. The video for My Baby is pretty cool too. The girls follow the cutie around town while he's playing b-ball, hangin' out and, of course, rappin'.
The great thing about the song is that it's fun and clean. There's no swearing or violent gangsta talk - it's just Lil' Romeo rappin' about what's going on in his life. A song doesn't need swearing to make it cool. And who doesn't like the Jackson 5? The music is a perfect fit for the song. If My Baby is a sign of things to come, then I can't wait 'til his full album Lil' Romeo comes out on July 3, 2001.
